    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 🤩

      Thank you uncle Andrew.. Just needed a little bit of informational signage - Like "abandon hope all ye who enter here" 🚴🚴🚴🙄

    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

    • @BoredManOutdoors
      @BoredManOutdoors  3 дня назад +1

      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. 👊👊👊

    @DaveandBuddyOutdoors 4 дня назад +1

    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 👍

      AHH Dave... Dya know what, I thought I had my ferrous rod, but no.. Lesson learned.... But that's what it was about. Cheers lads - Jim.

    • @BoredManOutdoors
      @BoredManOutdoors  4 дня назад +1

      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 🥃

    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 ?

    • @BoredManOutdoors
      @BoredManOutdoors  4 дня назад

      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. 🤷
