A great trip! Mont St. Michel is quite similar to St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall, but it seems to be a bit bigger. I have been to the top of that one in Corwall. And how horrible to have these snorers right beside you in the tent .😵💫 The chateau was marvellous. Thank you for this lovely video with the beautiful drone shots 🤩
Yes the French Mont Michel is much bigger. I rode past the cornish one last year. Thanks for watching and hope you are having a good walk in Cornwall
@@WestGoesEast thank you! We are really enjoying our walks in Cornwall. We are currently on the Isles of Scilly and today we will go to the island St. Martin's for a tasting tour at the SC Dogs rum destillery 😄 That is after a walk on the same island 😀.
@@TravellingTorunn ah lovely, I've never been and would really like to go to the scilly isles!
Some services/machines don’t like online only banks, German trains were the same a while back. Always keep a credit card for this kinda things then just pay it off straight away.
Yep, lesson learnt there. School boy error not taking a credit card
I really enjoyed the video and have got to ask, did you get your money back?
Thank you! Sadly not, but then it's not been 8 days yet. Thanks for wathing :)
Wow how did I not know you're such an accomplished pianist!
I'm a natural!
Those snorers are out to get you. I carry some earplugs with a beanie to hold them in place. Beautiful place to visit.
I think they actually are! I had earplugs but clearly not good enough ones. Think I need to invest in some better ones :)
Wow that chateaux.. had amazon prime! 😂 so funny how travel can throw up such random experiences like that. Great video as always!
Was a great experience! Thanks mate
Yes mate, its called All the light you cannot see. I think it was Netflix. Very good series, shot in st malo. Great book too, my wife tells me! Right back to the vid..! Loving the new motorbike sightseeing vlog style!
Ah thanks mate. Yeah wasn't sure if it was bbc or Netflix?
Ahh the snorers. Always the best sleepers too. Need their own separate section of campsites...!:😂
@MatHall I totally agree!
Some stunning scenery, particularly with the drone! Thanks for sharing 😊
It's a beautiful place! Thanks for watching :)
Feel like heaven in Earth
Pretty close!
Tourism is dying by itself. Or rather, with climate change. There is no excuse for contributing to the climate disaster, there is no excuse for destroying the cultural heritage of other countries - however well-intentioned. And by the way, the heat in the Mediterranean countries is already a health hazard.
September
When you was going through the abandoned building No respect you just pulled the paper leave it in place for the next people who go there don’t just pull it like it’s nothing
You're telling me the only thing you thought worthy of commenting on this video is because I moved a paper a few inches. If you watched all the video you would see the guide moving lots of items and it didn't seem to matter to her.
What month was this filmed?
September
@@WestGoesEast I’ll be there this September so your piece gave me a good idea on what to expect. Cheers.
What type of clothing would you recommend to go in March?
Well it won't be freezing and won't be that hot. So perhaps take a coat but not a super thick one
Hiya - thank you for the video - did you end up staying / camping on the way? I'm very interested to understand if camping on the trial is possible.
Thanks for watching. I did camp on the trail yes... I had to go in the woods a bit (I think it's in the other vid) but if you are a bit more brasen there's plenty of spots
thank you for this visual treat
Thanks for watching! 🙂
what brand of tent do you use? a very interesting solution for storing a bicycle
This tent is the Berghaus Peak 3.3 pro. It's a bit heavier than other tents but I like the security and the extra space to store my bags etc
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Fair play, decent walk and good watch
Cheers, thanks for watching!
Thank you for making this
Thank you for watching!
I want to make a same journey in this summer if good willing Thanks for your demonstration
Hope you get to do it! It's a great experience :)
Good experience I like your tent
Nice and spacious!
Thanks for the memories of my first three summer seasons, 1961-62 & 63 working on that magic isle.
Thanks for watching! Sure is a great Island :)
It angers me when people like you disrespect my saviour Jesus Christ like you just did. You are ignoring, disrespecting & offending to the core 3 billion people who believes, pray & have faith in Jesus Christ. What makes you think that it is ok to just blasphemy my Jesus's name on a public forum. Jesus Christ is not a curse word it is a holy name. Get it into your thick head and stop doing it already. If you have bleshemied another religion holy deity's name then your head would get chopped off. just because we are not evil like that does'nt give you the right to ignore what is holy, precious and important to us christians. STOP BLESHEMING the name of JESUS !!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Hey there. Loved this video.. Can I ask...was the book you showed at the beginning any help? Also, how did you get water on the less urban areas?
Thanks! The book was helpful to gauge where I needed to be at the end of each leg. I basically used that as a guide to put into Google maps. As for water I just made sure I had enough water for that leg. There's normally places to fill. I did have to use a tap in someone's drive once and perhaps a few public loos too.

Are there jobs in Svalbard?
Yes and you don't need a visa I believe
Yes...do you know any details about this?
Not really, sorry
haha, you arrived at metaxourghio, that's not THE place with all the bars! It's where all the whores are though
I think it was not a good example to place your sticker on the sign , maybe on the rear
Another great trip Phil. Living the life!

Ah thanks! This is my first ever 😊
Stunning video. Thank you. Very interesting. 😊

I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 /////////////

@@WestGoesEast more than 70 miles a day. No ‘rest days’ (lol). And also, I can actually lift my loaded bike over fences/styles. Weedy lil puss. Wtf does your tidy missus see in you, drip👦?
Just got back from Athens. Not going to lie it's a lovely mix of historic and modern times. The big issues are obviously the traffic and that slick marble that's everywhere. Lycabettus was lovely and the walk up through kolonaki is probably worse than the walk up the mount itself.
