Hi Charlie, whenever I have any doubts about buying our Meteor, ( 😁😁having 300 mile service today) I just watch one of your fabulous videos...and realise why we did it...extra training booked for next week...hoping to sort rack & panniers out ASAP 😀👍 thank you very much!
Hi Andrew, thats so nice of you to say this. I didnt think it would be possible to love the bike more than i did already, but this tour has managed it! Stay Safe. 😃
great vid 😊
English is not my language (you see) but I realy love this film, so charming with a nice attitude on traveling as a single motorcyklist.
Thank you. 😊
Great! These are the ways I'm looking for. 😊
Greetings from down under. Thanks for taking us all along with you. Love your work, the soundtrack and the beautiful scenery. Thanks again.
Thank you Keith. 😊
Luv it.Scottish biker woman wakes up & rides.Haggis dreams & reality.After pub things get no it's ok.Sleep(very necessary for bike rising,even a yawn with mind control.This vid.is a change from more proffessional types.
There's nothing professional about this I can assure you. 🤣
Love the road trip videos. At my age and with the old guys I ride with we stay in Hotels with beds and free breakfast. The roads over there are narrow, by Canadian standards, but look very appealing. Our once in a lifetime vacation, in planning. Going to Manchester; wife is Corrie fan, around Scotland and over to Europe. I assume dogging sheep is easier then avoiding deer and the odd moose here. Stay safe and keep riding.
Sheep do move slower and as they're fluffy they just bounce off. 😊

Файна подорож) автору публікації вподобайка за роботу і відео УДАЧІ!
дуже тобі дякую. 😊
You are "the most Real" lady on youtube in my opinion. I hope you grow your channel as big as Noraly's Itchy Boots. Many thanks for the inspiration. I am still desperately trying to get out of 1st gear in order to get my CBT certificate. At 53 and health issues confidence is hard to come by. But you show me that its possible. Thanks :)
Thank you so much Angie, I'm now 52 and have had my licence 2 years and am still learning every day! Please do dig deep and go a safe and supervised smidge beyond your comfort zone each time, on the other side is a fabulous adventure. 😊
You go girl, your killing it on those little roads in the middle of nowhere. Don’t be bummed about needing help to back up. It happens, now you learned from it so you won’t do that again. Your camping setup is great. But I would get a taller table. And a bigger tent. Comfort is what it’s all about. Your little Enfield is just chugging along. Good for you. I would be honored to ride with you .
Thank you very much. Have no fear, i swallowed my pride and just confidently enlisted some (albeit rather drunken!) help. 🤣
Finally a channel of ridding and not just face time. I live in the North West desert of the USA. There is no scenery like this here. So, just take my Rad Power electric bike and park my but under a scrub tree and drink my beer. Or, my KYMCO Like 200i and do the same thing. I am 78 and would like to take off and travel, just have to work up the courage to do so.
Thank you. 😊
Thanks for the entertainment, it really helps me while I’m at working dreaming about motorcycles and camping!
Don't just dream, plan and do it! 😊
What a great video, thank you. Such a magic trip, & such beautiful countryside to ride through. I live in South Africa, & have ridden motorcycles pretty much my whole life. It's always been a bucket-list wish of mine to do a motorcycle tour through the UK.
Hi Ian, I bet South Africa has better weather! What are the roads like? 😊
Hey! Greetings from Germany!
I very much enjoyed this video and was reminded of a 6 weeks bycilce trip I did around 84 on Cornwall cost. Coming by ferry and got lost in Dover fighting the urge to create my own rules. I mean traffic. Start Driving left side is confusing in the middle of the day😂.
I am doing my bike licence next year and can't wait to visit Britain again. 😁God speed!
I always struggle for the first few minutes every morning in this country remembering which side to drive on. 😆
🤩👍👍👍wonderful whit R.E. Meteor! Have a nice trip! 😘
yes! fellow swindon biker! i plan on doing this exact journey when ive finally decide which bike im replacing my rebel 1100 with :)
Awesome! Let me know how you get on!
Great footage. Your bike is loaded up! How fun. Beautiful ribbons of road, narrow and inviting. Take care from Minnesota.
England have such amazing roads 😁👍
We do, as do Scotland, Wales and Ireland and Northern Ireland, I can't wait to explore more. 😊
I just subbed today and am currently binging on your videos. The countryside in the UK is so intriguing for me. On a side note I had a long time lady friend who's name was Charlie (Charlotte) She was very interesting just like you. 😊 Cheers from the US of A.
I honestly could have wept for you eating that last meal sister.. That was a cry for help lol… Great video, huge thanks for sharing your journey
Thanks Duke, I did pull myself together. 😊
i love this video!!!! also snap on the same trousers as me!! comfy as hell
Bonjours,enfin de vos nouvelles...désolé pas de traduction automatique pour l'instant...mais un paysage cadre magnifique,merci pour ce partage.✌🇫🇷
Merci Alain, le paysage était vraiment magnifique. 😊
i ride a vt hahahonda fire storm good to see the ladys out there watch the roads
Well done. I've been riding every day for 45 years and never done a solo 'tour' so well done❤
Thank you John. 😊
Your zip moment made us both laugh, especially when the chap asked if you were Ok, hope you got the Zip sorted
I fear the zip is forever failed. New jacket time! I'll keep the old one incase I can get someone to repair it. 😊
Love that tool/food kit 😍
It's from MotoGirl. 😊
Another lovely video, can't beat heading out on the bike and camping.
Thanks Janner. 😊
Seeing those cutlery tools made me laugh sooo hard. But what an genius idea, whoever came up with it.
😂😂
Edit: typos
Great aren't they!
You are an exceptional person undertaking such on your lonesome. I just can't muster up the enthusiasm, as a result I succumb to aloneness and maintaining a Valkyrie Interstate which rarely sees the light of day. Possibly you will inspire me to fulfil an ambition - Devon to the Outer Hebrides?
Hi Ivan, brush the bike off, have a short bimble, then make a plan. You can't do it all in a day, but you CAN do it. Break it into short 150 mile days and you'll still end up in the same place , just a few days later. 😊
Love your channel brilliant no frills just as it is I try and use roads less travled please keep your video coming ❤
Thanks and welcome to the channel! 😊
loving the new channel ride
15:10 now I understand why Brits like to jump from balconies to pools in Mallorca!😜 Nice trip though!
HI from your NiAS colleagues especially Coleraine Stn Riders, seeing you wake up in your tent reminds me of why Air b&b is so great # Toldtocamp 😃
Hi! Yeah , that feeling hit me too. 🤣
Salve, seguo sempre i tuoi video e devo dirti che fra tutti quelli che girano i tuoi sono i più interessanti. Ckmplkmenti
Grazie mille 😊
Thank you Charlie for taken us on your tour can't wait for the next video tbh , brilliant
Thank you Steve. 😊
A lovely lady, a lovely bike & your a real life, life saver! 😎👍
Thank you. 😊
Enjoying this
Nice to see you just cracking on with it
Keep safe and plenty more videos please
Thank you, am getting there, but working 12 hour shifts and then trying to edit stuff. 😊
Love your knifes and forks spanners. 😎
They're so great!
I don't know how you appeared on my feed but I've just binge-watched 6 videos 😆 Great stuff ! Inspirational and entertaining..very well done 👍
Fabulous David. 😊 Thank you. 😊
That was fun, and a good tip on checking luggage for security after a few miles!
Taking the back roads, as you are, is so invigorating and enlightening, I have done the long fast blasts many a time, all that gains is time.
It is about the journey as much as it is the destination if time permits I think.
I feel your tears, we all do I'm sure....
Thank you Geoff.
Absolutely loving your video , much respect 🙏👏
Thank you Brendan. 😊
Excellent...watching during one of my insomnia episodes ...and it didn't put me to sleep..ate boiled egg sandwiches. All the best.
Sorry you can't sleep, but glad I didn't help fix it! 🤣
A great start to you great adventure
Wow Charlie, 1.5 K views in 16 hrs That’s brilliant 👏 Sooo very well done I enjoyed it muchly thanks for the upload till the next. M 🏍💨 x
Thankyou Martyn, its getting there! Hopefully i will get quicker at the editiing on this new software!
Brilliant !!.
Love the cliffhanger ending.
The Peaks are my stamping ground so it was good to see the places I am familiar with. The Miners Standard I know well but have never camped there . Always looks a bit crowded.
I like Hulme End campsite ,Hartington, next to a pub and you do not have to book ,just turn up the field is huge.
Castleton .Bertie was a rope maker and probably worked in one of the Caverns which you can still tour and see a demo of rope making.
The cavern is called "The Devils Arse",
Sometimes climatic and pressure condition cause a huge blast of air venting from the cave with loud trumpeting noise. Hence the name.
Your packing was great and the collapsible thingy pan I have bought for my next trip. The security net for your gear is on my list.
I went upto John O Groats last month and did it with one stopover. Too rushed.
Stopped at Kilvrecht campsite at Loch Rannoch ,great site ,cheap and good basic facilities . ( mosquito net hat needed).
Want to do Skye next but will definitely take it more slowly ,you miss so much trying to do too much.😀
Hi! , I know what you mean about missing stuff if you go too fast. It's all about the journey not the destination! The Collapsible kettle was amazing, I really want to invest in more from that range.
Ride safe and keep your travel updates coming. 😊
Brilliant vloggg😍Nice presentation ✨️Love from kerala❤️.. INDIA
Thank you. 😁 I hope you get to watch the other episodes in the series. 😁
Hi Charlie, good video as per usual. I use the EDZ inner shell on cold wet days. Really does it’s job and would have been good when your jacket zip broke! Seems a bit pricey but as I say is very good! David
Thank you David. 😊
I like that solo moto camping
I tip my helmet to you, madam. A very courageous endeavour and very inspiring 👍✌
Thank you Glenn. 😊
lovely video , thanks for taking us with you on your trip to such beautiful areas .Thanks again x
You're welcome. 😊
Brilliant vlog, look forward to seeing the rest of your journey. Thanks for taking us along with you.🙂👍
Thankyou Jonathan. 😊
Ah..Devils Bridge, I was there yesterday, as I now live in Clitheroe, not too far away.
jukping of the bridge is against the local bylaws there apparently, was there a few years ago not long after someone died jumping from the bridge, he was recovered later downstream.
I was also there a couple of years ago when the guy stood next to me just got on the wall and jumped in fully clothed.
Wow!
Ohh that was excellent! Thanks for sharing. ✊
Thanks Billy. ,😊
Such great foodgear you have!
Isn't it just!
The Meteor is a cracking little bike, I test rode both the Meteor and the interceptor and thought the Meteor was a far more comfortable bike to ride and handle over the Interceptor. I actually ended up buying a Benelli 502C as I wanted a few more horses. The Meteor with the Interceptor engine would be a winner for me. Loving your trip, can't wait for the next episode.
Thank you Steve, I'm excited to see the 650 meteor.... That I will most definitely be test riding!
Love this. Great video. Am in Fairford near Swindon so it’s interesting to see your route.
Love the tool kit! Awesome!
Thank you. 😊
Brilliant Charlie so pleased that your out there doing a proper trip, great to see that your not to bothered about sticking to a route it always more fun winging it a bit x
I totally agree! I winged it a fair bit on this one. 🤣
Just subscribed and I'm loving your videos. Stay away from main roads and motorways and an Enfield is all the bike you need . Great content . If I'm ever in an RTC I hope it's you that cuts my trousers off 😂😂
Paaahahahaha! I always try and avoid cutting now I know how expensive this stuff is, but if someone's in joggers , T shirt and trainers then I won't have to do any cutting as they disintegrate anyway. 😭
had my first guinness in swindon 1983 i'm from north carolina
Brilliant video really enjoyed it,iv subscribed just going to watch part 2 👍
Fabulous, thank you. 😊
Loving this. Go for it. I’d just say to you get a McKinley easy up tent. They go up or down in 10 seconds and everyone wants to know where you got it 👍👍👍
Knowing how bad the weather and camping can be at the Dragon Rally, I was impressed by your decision to go. However, the gods were smiling on you all and the weather was good as was the camping site. Nevertheless, you went, took part and I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Many thanks John 🏍
I suspect we were very lucky this year John, I'd still have another go next year 😊
I live in Rossendale and Clitheroe is a beautiful place. Devils bridge is thriving on a weekend especially if the sun is out. You should try one of the sandwiches there, they’re great. 😉
Well the Tea was nice enough! 😊
Just loved the eating utensils.😃
Like everyone here I really enjoyed riding along with you, on real roads at real speeds. Can’t wait for the next exciting episode! Thanks.
Hi Nigel, thank you very much. The next episode is nearly ready. 😊
We love your "Scran Spanners!"
Theyre from Motogirl, as they were a gift id better not google a link. 😁
What a lovely little trip, some of the roads you took brought about fabulous scenery, and well done you for having the guts to ask for help, looking forward to the rest of the trip.
Thank you David. 😊
Love your video remember no one wants flappy bits
Indeed. 😊
I enjoyed your video, well done! And I like your bike. Subscribed!
Thank you Jeff. 😊
That was great, thanks Charlie, I’ve been watching daily for your moves 😇
Thank you Geoff, sorry it's taken some time!
@@restdayrider don’t you dare be sorry, you are very much admired from afar and your posts appreciated muchly
Charlie did you happen to weigh all the gear you loaded your 350 with by chance ?
@@geoffballe8766 I didn't, and I really should have. I will definitely do this.
Brilliant progress- lovely views of the Peak District.
It was stunning. 😊
Just discovered your channel. Awesome video, really enjoyed watching 👍🏻
Thank you. 😊
That was truly wonderful, the quality of filming is improving all the time 👌 I didn't read the comments but am I the only one who thinks the sculpture (ahem cough cough) just looked like a giant bird poop 😀 it's lovely to see your channel growing its well deserved 👏...Harry
Thank you Harry. 😊
Hello ,I enjoyed very much your trip all through the roads of beautiful Scotland .
Fantastic... 🙂
Whilst everywhere in Scotland is another world you must go West not East Then you will see the Scotland of your dreams !!!!!!!!!!!
Noted for next time! 😊
Bravo,welll job! 😉
Thank you. 😊
Great video. Respect for fully laden Meteor! Yes, Devil’s Bridge is very popular with bikers as you gathered - never seen anyone jump off of it though. Love the ‘tool kit’.
Thank you. 😊
Watching this on a Monday morning before work. Brilliantly done. Look forward to the next episode.
Glad you enjoyed it.
beautiful background music
I always have a felt tip pen in my tent,signed the inside everywhere inwent.
What a great idea! I'm may steal that. 😏
After I got married my wife made me throw it away..lol..had too many names in it.
Paaaahahahha!!!! 🤣
lovely bikes i suggest a Dunlop trailmax as rear tires remplacement 140 x80 x 17 to go anywher in the country side of beautifull Scotland
Thanks for the tip! 😊
Hello, first time seeing your RUclips video, we have some things in common I was a medic in the Army and am a biker has such. I hate motorway driving and also love finding country roads and just enjoying the rides when idiots don't appear. Hope you enjoy more biking and any time you are back in Scotland coffee always available.
Hi Hamish, thank you, I'll remember that! 😊
@@restdayrider I felt for you in your video struggling as you were I have been struggling myself not sure about making the right choices only this week I just got myself together and drove Maggie my bike down to Cumbria for what was going to be two days of reflection it turned out only one night as Thursday was massive heavy rain so left Maggie in Carlisle got the coach home for the night next day went back down collected her and we drove home. If any time you need a break just shout maybe join you oh and Aberdeen I have family up there. Take care you do an amazing job.
Devils Bridge, very popular and well loved biker destination up here in the North West.
Great video I'm a new subscriber and looking forward to seeing more stuff 😀
Thank you 😊
Awesome! ✌️🤘
Nice one castleton is a beautiful village place some history there devils bridge is a very popular bike meeting place love the footage going on them lanes stay safe 👍👍🙏
Hope you enjoyed are beautiful county. One road out of Castleton (not on your clip) has stunning scenery
Castleton was beautiful. 😊
Now that’s how to pack n rack it great to see someone using map so refreshing
Hello from a fellow Meteor owner from Bangalore, India!
Started enjoying your videos from this series.
Hi, I hope you enjoy the series. 😊
The start of a wonderful adventure 🤗👍🏍️
Well done lots of extra work doing the video. This came up as I live in Scotland and motorbike and cycle tour . After many years I now use a vango camp bed , a low one £20 with a thermarest on top both probably easier to carry than a thick airbed which are really cold plus you have space under the bed. Just check to use your cutlery the right way around ! Oh I was on all the small roads in Norway and Sweden getting lost this summer and can't understand why all bikes don't have a reverse gear.
Hi Norman, thanks for stopping by, keen to do lots more, so I'll bear the Vango camp bed in mind. 😊
Stay tuned for more to come on this trip. 😊
Much respect, I wish I had waited and planned my first trip! I had been away for a few month and had a couple of weeks leave, so booked a direct access course, passed my test on the Wednesday, bought my wee Bandit 600 on the Friday then rode from Marham in Norfolk to just North of Inverness on the Saturday in March! I was close on Hyperthermic when I eventually managed to dismount my bike! Lol. I went out and bought base layers and did the trip back in two days!
Gosh! Yes comfort and warmth are everything! 😊
Great video can't wait to see more, hope you find this adventure fun as its really good to watch, you are my hero biker I don't think I could do what you are keep it up. x
Thank you so much. You never know what you can do til you try. 😊
@@restdayrider When will you upload more on your Scottish trip? cant wait
@@skippercaship I'm working on it now, but also working 12 hour shifts on the Ambulance, so I anticipate a week per vlog, there will be 5 in this series o think 😊
@@restdayrider Ok thank you, will you give a bell notification when you upload the next video please? also, I am thinking of buying the meteor however my dealer has said the new bike will not have the tripper navigation, do you think the tripper is really of any practical use. Do you use it much? Thanking you Roger
Hi not sure how I activate a bell, I'll have to look into that! The tripper in my opinion is no great loss, I have used it, but it's proven inaccurate, difficult to interpret and therefore too distracting. If I purchased a Meteor without one, I wouldn't be looking to have it as an extra. I'd invest in the Quadlock system for my phone and use Google maps, like I do! 😊
Castleton is such a lovely place. On my list to film for my channel soon. 👍
It's really was so pretty.
@@restdayrider Did you head up Winnets Pass? Super steep bit between two, erm, cliffs (I suppose is what you'd call em).
@@SmashingPistons apparently I did, at the start of the next episode. Have a look! 😏
@@restdayrider lol. I will indeed!
Fair play to you, cracking vlog. Really enjoyed it & quite inspirational. Came across your channel as been umming & arring about getting a RE. Tested the Meteor & Classic, preferred the Meteor but still not sure it's got enough for me. Really interested to see how this trip pans out on yours. I'm a fan of the back roads but your really off the beaten track there. Travel with a mate or 2 generally but feel I need to have a crack at a solo trip someday.
Looking forward to your next episode. Ride safe
Thank you Andy, I do love my meteor, and it was so much fun and reliable as anything on this trip. If you want a little more horses... Maybe wait and test the 650 Meteor twin that's coming out..... I know I will be!
Fun xx
Just came across your channel today. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you, welcome to the channel, there's lots more to watch and more to come. I hope you enjoy. 😊
Nice one! Lovely bit of Derbyshire you rode through and perfect roads for your bike! 👍
come on charlie do a video about anything , your great
There will be another one shortly. 😊
Goodness gracious. What beautiful scenery. Wish I could ride the area but Ohio USA guy so I will live vicariously thru you. Fantastic video
Thank you Blaine, I'll try and give justice to the wonderful scenery I rode through. 😊
