Very entertaining Jim. I'm glad I'm not the only one that ends up on an impromptu 'bike n hike' . All good training for your big trip, sounds amazing 🤩
Ey up Jimbo, great to see you back out in the wilds again. A cracking route that. I hope you and Mrs Boredman are all well. Here’s to loads of adventures this year. All the best Dave 😀⛰🥾🏕️🚴♂️🏴
Thank you Dave - I hope all is well in your world Sir.... If we could get a slightly drier and sunnier year - I'll be a very happy camper. Cheers Dave - Jim 👊👊👊😎
Nice one Jim - that cycle back looked brutal (as did the push up the hill till the trees ) great effort - looking forward to your west coast loops - sounds amazing
Cheers Murray - Hope family Murray are all well. Aye, looking forward to it, just can't make my mind up on which way... Got a couple more planned as well. Could be a bikey kinda year.. cheers - Jim.. 🚴🚴🚴🚴😎
Thank you Lisa.. A few aches n pains but not too bad and very much enjoyed the outing... Just need to work on catching and filming more of the landscape... Take a little more time. ☺️
Hi Jim, that looked like a grand adventure! Had a few camps near there over the years, Gouk Hill being my favourite in that area! All the best for your Islands trip, Jase
Cheers Jase. Apparently the trees are going to be cleared 'soon'... I think they've been down for almost ten months now... 🤷. It is a lovely area isn't it. I lived at Arden for six years, so like you I know the area well. 👊👊👊
Ah Jim, Felt that struggle with the bike.. Atleast you still got a camp out of it 👍 Always, always, always, carry a lighter or 2! (I carry 2 ferro rods and lighters at all times) Hope you're well. Take care All the best D & B 👍
Happy New Year Mr B, good effort and good training, your planned trip sounds epic, get yourself down the golden road on Harris, keep up the training and you will have a fabulous time 💪all the best Troddlngtons 😊
Grassy arse amigo. The last time Mrs B and I were in the Golden road on Harris, it was snowing... Postman came down the road and said "wouldn't go any further if I were you - sheet I've with snow settling in it - you'll not get out" - we took his advice... So, yes it will be nice to see it.. 💪😎🚴
Thank you - Just crappy weather, stuff and other stuff... More road miles needed.. a little sore in the shoulders and arms... A nice big Cowal loop is needed I think 🤔 🚴😎
Expeditionary extraordinaire is you Jim. Did look quite tough as you ‘climbed’ ….. Always a plan B as you know Jim and safety first. Well done though. Your planned long cycle sounds a bit of a marathon but both exciting and remarkable landscapes to see. Take care my friend 🥃
Crikey... Looking back on it... I was looking at my watch, thinking... Yeh... Perfect timing - soon knock out these miles and be at camp.. Then that disaster.. ☺️😎😂
After watching your adventures and expeditions the wife has decided she wants us to do this. Get out on the bikes and wild camp on higher ground catching the sunsets and aurora's. I doubt we'll make it out of the BD postcode 😂 x
Thought you had taken wrong path at Gouk Hill, but read on Walk Highlands that path is closed for felling of trees. Are there any warning sgns to inform of this ?
So apparently - this from a chap when I was packing up to leave - the felling is finished and the wind blown is nothing to do with them. No one wants to take responsibility to clear the path. So, no signs and certainly no signs of generosity of spirit.. Nevermind... There is a way round and/or through for walkers/hikers and possibly for an unladen bike. But it's a challenge. 🤷
Cheers Jimmy.. it was a reasonable day.. and I need to get out in the real world... I did a little tweaking of the saddle n bars today.. see if I can get out again... I need road miles. 🚴💪😎

Thank you uncle Andrew.. Just needed a little bit of informational signage - Like "abandon hope all ye who enter here" 🚴🚴🚴🙄
Well done Jim, you’re an inspiration.
All the best for the trip. 🥃
That looked a good route. Great video, well put together. Like your ambitious spring outing. Will look forward to watching that. All the best.
Ey up Jimbo, great to see you back out in the wilds again. A cracking route that. I hope you and Mrs Boredman are all well.
Here’s to loads of adventures this year.
All the best

Things may not have quite gone to plan, but you had an adventure of sorts in the end! Hope you had a good rest after all of that! ❤
Thank you Lisa.. A few aches n pains but not too bad and very much enjoyed the outing... Just need to work on catching and filming more of the landscape... Take a little more time. ☺️

Thank you Frank.. 🥃. Trying to hang on to my youth.. 🚴🚴🚴❤️
@@BoredManOutdoors maintaining youth is both physical and psychological; so being very daft I’m doing ok 👌
Good man.. Daft as a Brush 😂
Well done for attempting that hill scramble ‘the exuberance of youth’😂.👍
Looking back. I may have been able unpack the bike, carry it up,then come back from the bags... 🤷... Or maybe not 😂
You get a pat on the back as well, that looked pretty tough!
Crikey... Looking back on it... I was looking at my watch, thinking... Yeh... Perfect timing - soon knock out these miles and be at camp.. Then that disaster.. ☺️😎😂
That wee dram was earned
Thank you... Aye, once settled in the tent - all was well again. Thank you. 🚴😎👍
Great video 👍
Thank you 💪
Tough auld cycle and climb up there Jim.🚴 300 mile over they islands 😧 am jel
Cheers Kev.. I had the route plotted in for last year but lost my mojo cycling across Mull.. 🚴🤷 Not sure why, as I really enjoyed the trip.. 🤔😎
