    At 5.30, the gentleman that crashed, your concern that he's not only physically okay, that 'psychologically' he's able to continue on...❤

    Well that's Scotland for you. When its damp, it's very wet. When its beautiful, its absolutely stunning.

    The West Coast of Scotland is the most beautiful place come rain or shine….. your filming captures it perfectly 😊

    Absolutely beautiful, it's exactly the same in Ireland, the sun comes out for a week or two then Rain, Rain and more Rain 🌧

    I did a 5000 mile tour of Europe in 2005 and had that much rain I couldn’t believe it especially in the mountains. What it did was to make me a much more confident rain rider. I actually really enjoyed it and was able to lean like I did in the dry with complete confidence. Something I have lost again. I actually quite like the rain and being at one with the elements. Beautiful thankyu

    Such a shame it wasn’t a week earlier. It’s been stunning for weeks in Scotland. When you said you were coming to Scotland I was hoping it would last. Such a shame you didn’t get it see it in the full sun. Hope you enjoyed either way. 👍 thanks for coming.

    Amazing production. I wrap my head around the logistics of filming, by yourself, while riding.... insane! I recently tried my hand on a 15 second video. And that took over 2 hours to complete from start to finish. Much respect!

    Freddie I lived in Scotland last year, and am moving back again in September to start a PhD. These videos have been reminding me of how absolutely amazing this country is, and how excited I am to get back over (even if the weather is temperamental to say the least). Keep up the incredible work. Amazing to see how much your channel is growing. Absolutely deserved.

    I hope the American rider is okay and makes a speedy recovery. So glad the weather brightened up, Skye is beautiful as is the whole of the west coast, I see this kind of scenery daily as I live on Isle of Lewis. It’s a little piece of paradise, really enjoying your vlogs and your way with words is poetic….and yes we Scot’s have a great sense of humour but dry unlike the weather the majority of the time. Safe travels.

    Ahhh, The Cowshed Boutique Hostel in Uig, Skye. My happy place. A great place to stay and a lovely common room/ lounge area. I regularly ride there from Glasgow for a night and ride back the next day. Dinner and a few beers at The Ferry Inn just down the road, perfection.

  • @robjones2852
    @robjones2852 Год назад

    What a sublime video!
    It sort of makes our planned-for lives in 15 minutes cities appear a tad----limitting.
    Surely, for the human spirit to thrive, the road ahead must hold the promise of vast expanses, and of unexpected twists and turns;
    and we, to be truly alive, must be free to explore it in whatever direction we please.

    Another awesome video Freddy, the weather is just what you’d expect being Scotland but what scenery well worth a soaking. Your filming is as usual is very good.
    The whole trip seems very well organised, it will be interesting to find out the cost at the end.
    Keep the black side down Freddy and l’ll be watching out for any duck feet!

    What's Scotland without a bit of rain, it just adds to the beauty and without it Scotland wouldn't be as green. I do love the roads in Scotland and your vidoe shows them off beautifully. Hope the American is OK 👍

    I intend to tour Scotland after I move back to Yorkshire from Portugal for each summer. You've got to be prepared for rain, but it's such a stunning place. I last did this area with my parents as a 13-year-old. 7:01 small ferries like this, love them. 1990 [Nick J]

  • @KyloNight

    Another great vid! So close to the Isle of Harris! Hope you make it across some day. We have an annual charity bike rally up in the Isle of Lewis and Harris called the Midge Biter Rally (usually mid June) and we have around 120 bikes from as far as Germany come over for it. Stornoway is closed for the bikes to do a Police Escorted lap of the town and then we ride out to a cafe on the other end of the islands for refreshments and then ride back to Stornoway, and it’s finished off with a night of live music and drinks. It’s a lottery on the weather but that’s part of the fun and we got lucky this year, and a great weekend is always had by all! Midges here are bad but the Skye midges are ferocious! Enjoy your trip! Maybe see you at the Midge Biter Rally some time!

    As I watch your video, I see the orange interceptor in that beautiful windy countryside with narrow roads. I think to myself what a contrast with mine here in Northern Utah. 4600ft in elevation, high mountain tops, dry desert and massive 5-7 lane 70mph highways. It's like that interceptor is at home in both places. I'm glad this is the bike I chose.
