      Hi Eric - I'm pleased you have happy memories of Scotland. I've ridden a lot in your marvellous country, my favourite place to ride. My friend lives in the Dordogne and, this time last year, I was riding with him in rain - no French cyclists in sight. ruclips.net/video/gfkBGlwsVrY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/UzXz9YgnOGE/видео.html

      @@alwaysanotheradventure Simon, for a couple of years, Dordogne is a part of England😉 There are almost more english people than froggies 😜 and the weather is like in UK...
      You have to come in Upper Provence. We have very nice small roads and gravel roads too.

      @@eric.D2123 That is SO TRUE! My friend doesn't really speak French but gets along just fine and runs a business too. We've done the obvious Provence rides around Ventoux but we've also ridden around Verdon and towards the Alpes Maratimes. It is lovely there, despite the Peter Mayle effect.

    Beautiful route. Professional video editing. And "documentary" style voice. You deserve much more subscribers and views. Keep it up. Cheers from HK.

I'm lovin these videos so much and am filling up my diary for next year. Keep up the good work, smashin informative and gets you thinking about expanding your cycling frontiers

    Went up to Ardnamurchan Point and then Sanna Sands when I was kid with my parents. It was beautiful, but the midges were the size of small birds and trillions of them. It was carnage like a Hitchcock movie. Never again.

      It varies depending on the wind, temperature and light. Oh, and when you're on a bike you can usually out-run them. Staying still is when it gets bad. The Seatpost review you looked at that I shot on that picnic table near Polloch was hellish because I was in one place longer than 10 mins. I've just walked the same area with our dog, kept moving, and was fine in shorts.

      Hi Chris - I find it easier to share mapping on Komoot and there's usually a link to a route in the video description. However, I've also hunted out my Strava track for you. Hope this works: www.strava.com/activities/2487475885
