More scenery and that was great. St ill a surplus of selfies. Midges like flesh -exposed flesh - the answer is to cover up. Highlands in June and beyond are a bit of a no-no as the midges get under way. Repellents help but are not guaranteed. Eye protection is a must on the road when insects are about. I did the End to End in May and early June and got away with it - I did it the other way round. Happy cycling.
Glad to hear it Paul 😊 Yes we had to cover every square inch of our body to not be ravaged! 😮
Oh, the joy of youth!
Hahaha 😍😍😍
jumping the tent, it's so funny 🤣🚴👏
Hahaha lucky I didn't break it 😂
The stone circle is a sheep pen
Don't ruin it Becky! 😂 It could be quite the ancient sheep pen for ancient sheep :)
@@LaviandOllie they are all over Scotland. They were for when sheep were drove hundreds of miles on foot to market
Great watch. I am waiting with anticipation to see how you managed to navigate those cornish hills.
Haha well the highlands are a good practice 🙂 You will find out soon enough! Thanks for watching 😁🙏
We have a family hiking channel & have plans to do a cycling expedition when our daughters leave high school in four years time. We have a ten day hiking expedition planned for next spring too. We have subscribed to your channel & love your enthusiasm. Take care guys, love from The Shackletons ❤️
You have planned some amazing adventures! It's awesome that you do so cool stuff with your kids, very inspiring :) Thanks so much for the sub and for watching! We will follow your channel too! All the best to you guys 😍😁🙏
Nice video of scenery and nice campsite. Those stone circles are sometimes very dirty inside .Scotland is notorious for midges. After following you I will have done it in my head.
I agree with you, where people go, rubbish follows, though this one was actually fine :) Luckily, and we sure kept it that way and always pick up rubbish when we see it! We hope you continue to follow the series 😁🙏
Another great episode ! Thx.
Thanks so much 😁🙏
Great trip. Hi from Brazil. Thanks for this nice video sharing your adventure.
Hi from England 🤩 Thanks so much for watching 🙏😍
I really like your style of filming! Thanks so much for sharing, I love love love the enthusiasm from you both! (that stone circle looks like such a special place to stay!). -Allen
It was a challenge to film the trip for sure but I'm so glad you enjoyed the end result 😁🙏 There were so many awesome spots to camp during this adventure it was one of my favourite parts
It's the same as every other video.
Scotland would is perfect for bikepacking when weather is good 👍
Oh yes! You can see that it is stunning when the sun comes out 😁🙏 Just have to find those few good days in the year 🤪
You are amazing guys 🥰 Have a safe journey 🏕
Thanks Kerem! 😁🙏 Stay tuned for our new adventure starting this spring!
Your tagline should read; "Filmed with youthful exuberance and lots of silly dancing." 🤘🏼👍🏼
I love it! 🤪
Yes silly being one of two words that would fit nicely. There stupid what is it with people acting stupid when they switch on a camera.
Interesting to see a second circle just off the other one.
Yeah we only noticed that one when we got the drone footage in the editing room 😁
Your content was just discovered- and it is exciting!
That's awesome to hear 😁🙏 Enjoy the series!
You should soak those peas overnight. Midges=Scotland.
This what we did after finding out 😁
UK is so amazing! ❤️
A bit rainy but it's okay 🤪
Loving the vlog so far, but would be interesting to know how and where you get your food/ water from each day? Are you stopping at a supermarket…?
Yes indeed the food shop is always at Asda or Morrisons or Aldi and for water we are carrying about 3L each and fill up anywhere we can along the way, cafe's, petrol stations, public toilets etc
Burn dead weeds mixed with clay clogs ,in a hobo can fire pit easy to make will keep the bugs miles away
I don't think there was such a fire pit nearby but I love the idea 😁
Lovely video!! What camera do you use? Looks very good!
Thanks so much 😁🙏 We use GoPro 7's mostly, we use a Nikon D3400 for close ups and a Mavic Pro Drone for the awesome aerial shots!
Loving your vids! Can I ask what security for the bikes do you use bike locks?
Thanks! 😁🙏 For the locks it was nothing special just one of those metal fibre ones 1m long from Amazon 🤪
@@LaviandOllie awesome thanks!
For those of us who have never owned or used a Drone how about giving us some info/education on using one?
We would love to make a video about it! Who would like us to make a video on using the mavic pro? 😁🙏
what's the name of the title song? It's gorgeous and I can't find it. It's driving me crazy. PLEASE HELP!!!
From the top to the bottom of the island we call home...
I searched it but didn't find...
Hahaha well played 🤣🤣🤣 Hmmm what's the name of the song "The Longest Road" asks? 🤔 Well check out the full version here if you didn't see it already: czcams.com/video/wfKrppXPSds/video.html&ab_channel=Lavi%26Ollie%27sOdyssey 😁🙏
@@LaviandOllie Thank you so much. you saved my life 😅🤪🙏🥳
hiya at 6:53 what is that place called and whats the history about it if u know. i can see there was 2 with a pathway downwards towards the other circles center. them insects inside ur tent omg that has defo got to be a worst night. ive never been scotland im from england and im glad i dont see them insects where im at but when i was 20 i went to illinois USA and we was driving at night and i looked to my left and seen these flashing yellow things in the fields i said to my friend whats that she said oh lightning bugs. i felt a bit stupid but ive never seen them in my life and ive heard of them in animation like bugs life but i didnt think it was real. i feel stupid really tbh. i said to my friend i want to take some home in a clear jar haha. i said they are like a bug with a led up its arse haha.
Yes indeed they are sheep herding pens 😊 The midges are a real pain in the highlands you have to be very quick to get in and out your tent 😂 Lightning bugs sound cool I have never seen them!
Is it legal or sensible to camp inside an ancient stone circle?
It is indeed legal :) They have been used and are still being used as sheep pens, very robust! We made sure to keep it very clean and tidy and not jump on the stones :)
Why would you want to sleep in a sheep pen 😂 not to mention before that it was a burial ground. Absolute idiots 😂
Not sensible at all, and daft youtubers making videos like this just encourages other people to do the same.
@@rozyb007 yes you have noticed it too.
I try to watch but can't get past that awful intro song
Well better try again 😆
