Danni & Joe
I can’t decide whether you are both completely mad, or extraordinarily brave. Both, I think. Stay safe.
Yes definitely a mix of both 😂😫
I admire your determination. Busy roads, bike problems and heavy rain. By the end of this trip you'll either never want to cycle again or be planning your next tour.
I cycle mostly in France and find 95% of the drivers are very respectful of cyclists. My wife hates traffic even more than me so I spend ages planning routes that stick to minor, mostly empty, roads. It can add distance but I'd rather that than one of us be squashed.
I'm very keen to see if you made it but I'm watching the videos in order.
Thanks again for a nice video.
Thank you! Yes I can imagine France being very civil towards cyclists, there’s a lot of designated routes from what we’ve read as well!
So so mad, brave, and inspirational, just love you guys. You said you didnt have a film crew with you, but the quality of filming says otherwise, your vlogs are so good, great filming and drone shots as well as covering all those miles. Thank you both so much for filming. Best wishes Christine x
Aw such a lovely comment, thank you Christine!
Good thing about knees Joe if their not up to it don't push or ignore that fact, painkiller help does not help catledge damage, as you will be looking at bigger problems or more surgery down the road a bit. Unless you have big money you will lose all knee rotation and bending partly is all you will manage, until you need sticks.
Yes, please love your knees! ❤
Thanks Arthur yes not something we’re taking lightly, if pain continues we’ll have to find another plan
Enjoy your videos about narrow boats and love Italy so have a coffee on me
Ahh thank you so much! This really helps on this trip!
Motorcycling trick is to pick up the throwaway gloves from garage forecourts and wear them over your gloves when its raining.
That's funny cos I have severe hand eczema caused by allergic contact dermatitis and I use those forecourt gloves UNDER gardening gloves when I'm gardening or doing DIY as they have no powders and the material itself is quite inert so I don't react to them.
Ooooh that’s a good shout we’ll try that!
Left hand bend, left pedal up. Right hand bend, right pedal up. Otherwise as you lean into the corner you may catch the pedal on the road...
Take good care both. xx
Yes good tip that Who was the culprit I didn’t notice it when editing!
Crayola (originally Binney & Smith from around 1860) is headquartered in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, just west of New York City and just northwest of Philadelphia.
Awesome!
Well done guys, you are both smashing it.
Thanks so much!
#properchap #properlass 👏👏👏👏👏👏
😊❤️
Scary ride, your doing amazing. Stunning scenery.❤
Thank you!!
Great video both mad as hatters but at hourly enjoyable watch. Take care stay safe. 😊
Thank you! 😂
It’s epic! I bet Bear Grylls is looking at this and thinking that he couldn’t hack it.
Hahaha he’d have a lovely camera crew following too 😂
There is a show in the US called the Amazing Race. You two should apply. I think you would both be great at it. You like adventure. That would be an adventure.
Think they did similar in the UK called race across the globe or something - teams of two race to a finish point far away with a certain budget?
@@DanniandJoe In the amazing race tou race to a certain point. But you could win a million dollars if you win. I have no doubt you would win. Apply on line. You would have so much fun. 😊
Lovely video, so much fun! Well done both of you! 😊
Thank you!
well done, onwards and upwards enjoy.
Thank you!
OMG you guys are amazing doing this, amazing watching this its an awesomw Vlog thank you.
Thanks Lyn!
Great video, I honestly thought you would of given up by now, well done :)
Thank you, there’s definitely been moments but we’ve kept going!
Hello from Texas, USA. Thanks for the videos, as I am unable to travel myself, I really enjoy seeing all the views of different places.
Aw thank you so much for watching! We would love to visit Texas again one day
You lovely people are doing so well!, and thankyou for sharing the journey when it must cause you extra work and time. Respect!! Go well.
Thank you!
Oh my days! I don’t know where you’re finding your resilience from but good on you for keeping going! What memories you’re making 😊
😂😂 thank you!
Hi Danni and Joe. I’m so pleased how well you’ve been doing. You are smashing it. Take care. Nick
Thanks Nick!
Another great video. I dont like the way that bike satnav keeps taking you on busy fast roads but then neither do you ! Also Danni's piece to camera about not liking the wild camping had the mrs watching after her bath. We could see the anxiety on Danni's face. Stay safe guys
Thanks Paul! Yeah those roads are scary but unfortunately sometimes there’s just no other route. Thankfully that second night went well for Danni & we’ll be trying again once we’re in the next country that allows it!
You are both doing great and showing it real. A trip like that can't be all a bed of roses. Stick at it and u will both look back and be glad you did it
Thank you, we agree! Definitely some days we want to scream but we know we’ll look back on the good and bad days fondly ☺️
Wow I’m exhausted from watching 😊. Stay safe. ❤
Thank you 😊
Great episode guys....mad that you're making these vids on the fly...the quality of the editing and storytelling is amazing under the (very trying) circs
...hats off to you...can't wait for the next installment of this mega-adventure 👍👍
Ahh thank you very much!
I think you guys are amazing to be doing this. So much courage and stamina. What an experience ❤
It’s definitely an experience alright, thank you ☺️
Your amazing guy's. The cycling your doing is great and miles your doing are amazing. Filming is magical. You know your stuff. Great couple you are. Stay safe and well done 💕👍
Thanks so much 🙂
“Do it while you’re young”.
Very impressed with both of you. My wife and I are both ex pro athletes and I can’t say we could even hold a candle to you. Wishing you both the best on the trip! Pedal on!
Ahh amazing thank you so much! We’re seeing our body’s change for the better already, minus the knee & some colds to be expected,
well done you guys big Hearts love Dad
Thanks pops ❤️
Wow, I can’t believe you’ve made it all the way across Italy. You’re so brave…but also quite mad!! It’s an amazing adventure but such hard work! I’m glad you’re being smart and having days off. Stay safe!
Thank you so much! It’s very surreal still that we’ve made it this far 😊
Full respect guys, your grafting your way 👍 🚲🚲

Loved watching your journey, my partner has also started asking when you’ve upload 😂 hope all going well this week xx
Haha thank you!
Nice one keep going
Thank you!
I’m going to watch this later on my big telly but I’ve hit like already😊
Thanks Denise!
@@DanniandJoe Just finished watching, glad you both recovered from your ailments but now I’m worried you’re going to get pistachio poisoning!
You too are brilliant, you just keep going whatever,very well done 👍👍👍😂
Haha thank you ☺️
You deserved the rest in that hotel you couple of nutters 👍 Ride safe 🚲
We’ve had some restful nights in hotels thankfully, thank you ☺️
You two are so brave! I think you missed a trick getting sponsored by electric bikes. I wish you a dry easy rest of your journey. X
E bikes would’ve been amazing 😫😂
@@DanniandJoe I thought the same, however how would you charge the batteries. The range is only about 30miles.
❤
👍
Cheers!
You should have taken the ecoflow and your wee coffee machine 😉
Haha if only we could carry it 😂
Have you considered Power Grips on you pedals?? Much simpler and less expensive than traps or clips/boots and much more efficient for you pedal power because you get energy from the upstroke.
Someone recommended these but haven’t seen them in any shops on our trip so far! Makes sense to get the power out of the upstroke though
Really enjoyable and great filming...have you started planning your next bike tour yet?
We definitely have other plans in the future for more bikepacking but maybe not for a while 😂
Hope you managed to go to Piran while on the Slovenian coast. Im from the UK but live there now :)
Aw we didn’t make it there unfortunately but we would love to go back, such a stunning country, maybe in a car next time 😂
Amazing effort! How are your bike seats going? Have they been broken in?
Touch wood saddles have been fine! Legs on the other hand… 😫😂
I don't drive a car and never owned one. I cycle or walk everywhere by necessity. Either for bike touring trips to national parks during my vacations, or going to my family's place in the countryside. Regarding the cars passing close; it's not whatever app you are using for your route that is "trying to kill you", it's the people driving those cars. Sometimes there are no "better" alternatives, no bike lanes, no paths, just those awful roads designed for speed, and having people driving cars passing so close all the times just radicalized me into being against car culture in general. It made me realise how most of the world is designed to accomodate cars, and that driving one seems to disconnect some people from their humanity.
I was following you for the narrowboat stuff and were a bit less interested in the van renovation part, but I was pleasantly surprised to see yout trip turn into this touring/bikepacking adventure. You seem to be doing pretty well so far! I wish you both the best. "Enjoy" :-)
That’s a really good point actually. We’ve never really cycled much back home in the UK but this trip has inspired us to do so. So It’ll be interesting to see how our experience compares to travelling mainland Europe - from what we’ve read the UK is pretty poor for cyclists expect major cities. For the first part of Italy there were cycle routes everywhere but as we reached Veneto they were few and far between (for the route we needed to take). It’s been an eye opener for sure & can see how it turned you anti car completely!
April 30. Please get help adjusting your seats and handlebars or your knees will never hold up. Congratulations on your progress.
Thank you they’re feeling comfortable now after some good advice so fingers crossed!
You're brave! You're bravo! You're fine!
But ... did you domesticate the birds that's coming up a little bit now and then? 🥰😇😊
😂😂😂 they’re breeding!
good v id
Thank you!
How does one communicate traveling country to country as your doing. Is the Queens English a common language across Europe.
My family’s roots are UK in origin, my wife’s Portuguese. We visited the Azores and the Portugal mainland a few years ago. English was in common usage everywhere that tourist such as us were likely to visit.
We try our best to learn a couple of words/phrases but most people speak back to us in English! We visited the Azores some years ago and loved it!
Fucking Hell x 23+ 😂
Anyone know what app they are using to navigate?
We’re using Komoot! We paid for the offline version for when we get further in the trip & the internet gets silly money, will let you know how we get on in the videos I’m sure!
For goodness sake you two, be careful!!!! That was terrifying to watch 😮 And please stop putting your food on the floor!
We’re as careful as we can be but unfortunately at times we can’t escape the busy roads! We don’t have a table either so have to eat in the floor haha
@@DanniandJoe eating sat in the floor is one thing but not putting pasta and bread directly onto the floor 😀
I don't get that type of holiday, is it a holiday? lol I absolutely hate being wet whilst wearing clothes though so I think I would have been thoroughly miserable! x
Wouldn’t call it a holiday more of an adventure ☺️
What was the green goo in the food u ate?,,, Crack on u guys, becareful 😅
Pistachio cream 😍
@@DanniandJoe,, shit, now I need 2
