Forced to make a break from around the world travel, ‘The Longest Road’ follows our adventure here at home as we attempt to cycle from the top of Scotland (John o’Groats) to the bottom of England (Lands End), dubbed “The longest possible road in Britain” stretching 2000km, all on £100 bicycles with no previous cycling experience. We invite you to follow our journey 😁 Wish us luck! 🍀

Interested to know if you actually have permission to fly that drone where youve been flying it? Probably not!!
@@rozyb007 Don't worry we always follow the rules :)
Love your dancing, thanks for posting.
We practiced for a long time for these dance steps great that you like them 🤪 thank you so much for watching 🙏😁
These are fantastic, it will take me awhile to finish this journey. Have fun in Brazil!
Glad you enjoy the series 😍 thank you
A proper saddle and handle bars are a must also use a straight shaft suspension seat post
Indeed 😁🙏
I really feel for you with all those flying beasties. At Tain you connect with the route that i took after traversing the Great Glen. Glenmorangie is a really good draught. Don't fancy your diet. Hope that the tent was well ventilated! Replace the saddle with Brooks Professional and you will have no trouble. You missed a treat by not using the Nigg-Cromarty tiny Ferry that was close to Tain. The Great Glen is magical incl Urquhart Castle and the John Cobb Memorial, isn't it? All the best.
Yes we were very disappointed when we found out the distillery was closed 🤪 Ah we didn't know about the ferry, would have been cool! The Great Glen is indeed brilliant, very beautiful and atmospheric 😍 Thanks for watching!
Man I love most of the views and landscape around.
Scotland is full of beautiful landscapes 😍 Thanks for watching!
Rain how I miss you not, always expected rain it's a tour thing ughh rain again
Gotta take it in the stride... or the pedal 🤪
Very good cinematography, one of the best channels I’ve ever seen. Well done.
Ah thanks so much for saying! 😁🙏 Stay tuned we have another episode coming in 30 minutes!!!!
goood work, realy like the edeting you do. pro. // love two weels Hi from.( Norway),.
Thanks so much! It's great to hear that you appreciate our production quality we try and make it the best we can :) Stay tuned for our motorcycle series coming next year I think you will love it!
I am so glad I found your channel =) I am planning to tour on my gravel bike. I just got my tent. I am learning what is the most important, essential thing I should have for a solo adventure =)
Welcome to the channel 😁🙏 Bicycle touring is an absolutely great way to get around and see the world! Check out our first episode in the series, we mention everything we take with us there :)
😍😍😍
🤪❤️
i have hiked that route in my youth, brings back memories, i want to go back now, great vid, peace
The great glen way looks like an awesome hiking route, I think it would be way nicer than cycling :)
@@LaviandOllie being there is the important thing, beautiful
Guys I’m only on my 3rd episode and I absolutely love your channel but most of all really love you and and your spirit, what a great couple 🙏🏼❤️ I’m planning a solo bike trip next year and your videos have already given me so much inspiration ☺️
That's so awesome to hear Stefen 😁🙏 You'll absolutely love it we're sure! Thanks for watching and thanks for the support on our channel!
Just stumbled upon your channel & really enjoying it. Looked like an awesome bikepacking trip. Thx
Thanks Dug! So glad to hear it 😁🙏 We love your motto too "Get Out There!"
beautiful places
It really is! Thanks so much for watching 🚗❤️😁
The saddle with the gap running through it is to take pressure off the perineum. To put it gently, it stops your balls from going numb to some extent 😄🙈
It's not really working 🤣🤣🤣
Nope! Doesn’t for me either 🥴
@@scottjones9362 HAHAHA🤣🤣🤣
Enjoyed watching nice 👍🙂 I think only problem for bikepacking in Scotland is the weather but it looks beautiful. Did you all see Nessy? 😂
If you pick the right time of year you can be lucky and then it truly is stunning, just hard to get lucky with that one 😂 🌧
Tidy video that 👌
Thanks Dan! 😁🙏 Stay tuned for episode 4 coming this Sunday!
Real feel good nature to the videos. Do you have any more planned adventures in Scotland?
Not at the moment but we'll definitely go back to Scotland at one point 😁 We loved it!
A good tarp not the one you get for wood ect , over top of tent ,tents need to breath and keep dry tarp drys fast
We love a good tarp!
I cycled the other side of Loch Ness, a much quieter road, but only one café
This side was pretty crazy with traffic! and such a small road 😫
I was going to do a loop of Loch Ness but all the comments were to avoid the busy side “General Wades Military Road” on the other side was so quiet and the drop down into Fort Augustus was amazing
Hey, just come across your videos and really enjoying them. Weird one, but where’s your orange cap from?
Haha I bought it in Bali, Indonesia 😅 glad you enjoyed the series 😊
What month did you guys set off? Great vids👍
Thanks so much 😁🙏 We set off at the beginning of August!
What tent are you using? Looks great for bike packing! 👌🏻
It is called the Denali Kakadu 2 man from a store called Anaconda but I think this store is only in Australia 😫 Maybe you can find something similar?
@@LaviandOllie yeah I can’t see it online. Looks a great bit of kit!
Are you buying your food daily from the local shops and where do you get water from.
In terms of food we have actually brought everything we need for the first 9-10 days (maybe overkill but it means we won't need to resupply until Fort William or even Carlilse), water we get from local toilets/cafes/pubs/petrol stations on the way, basically anywhere with a tap we are asking 😂 We are carrying around 3 litres each, 1 1l plastic bottle on the frame and 1 2l hydration pack in a small backpack we carry on our back
@@LaviandOllie Your bikes will be heavy. They will get lighter as you eat your food. You will cover more distance
No. Sorry tried to watch you two good luck.
Haha at least you made it to ep.3 😅 ciao
@@LaviandOllie sorry.
