    1. This video and the Morocco Atlas Mountains video are my two favorite GCN videos of all time. When I'm on my deathbed, I want those two videos playing on a loop in front of me. (Sorry, don't mean to bring anyone down but I do believe I am serious about that.)

    2. Ok, so I'm a little late (4 years) but I am very impressed you survived…not the NC500 in 3 days, but eating at Max's afterwards! Round of applause!

    3. I love Mark's prosaic perspective in the face of difficulty 😂

      "I remember this is tough but, ya know, memories fade."

      Also one of Si's enduring, endearing attributes is his dry wit no matter how hard the circumstances.

      Excellent work all, keep it up!

    4. I’m on day 4/7 in Durness youth hostel with my 14 year old daughter. God it’s tough: the last 2 days have been one hard climb followed by another, we are shattered! Also we’re having to carry quite a bit of kit from hostel to hostel, mainly food and wet/dry weather clothing. We’ve got 70 miles in drizzle to look forwards to tomorrow………….only attempt this trip if you're proper hardcore, like me and my daughter X

    5. The main issue I had bike touring was lumps. Hills you normally dance up become category 4, category 4 becomes cat 3 and so on. The key is gearing. Cycle within yourself and spin the whole way. If you're struggling in a gear then change down.

    6. it seem like yesterday, but it's been almost 5 years since the video was published. Gravel wasn't still a thing, and it shows. Anyways, whenever a video shows Scotland it's worth it

    7. Wow, what an epic journey! I would love to know a little bit more about how ypu both fueled.. didnt spot any gels etc just cake and tea 😄 super well done!

    8. I struggled to do the NC500 in 3 days on my motorbike! Hats off to you guys. I'm a budding cyclist now and am inspired by these videos – thank you!
