  • Join me on day one of my trip to explore one of the world's best motorbike roads, I'm riding the north coast 500/ NC500. Experience the high and lows of my motorbike adventure.
    World's best motorbike roads, that's right I think the NC500 is one of the world's best driving roads. Scotland's NC500 has been voted in the top 10 best roads on the world! We start off riding from Manchester to Scotland (Fort William) next to highest mountain in the united kingdom, Ben Nevis.
    Watch as we ride through all sorts of weather and environment's, on day two we visit the royal marine commando war memorial from world war 2. We also visit Loch Ness and Loch Lochy.

    A strange and wondrous world... Here I am sitting on a chair in a high temperature of forty degrees Celsius in Riyadh - Saudi Arabia, watching someone go from Manchester to Scotland in the rain and relatively cold weather... and this Internet may bring together people from everywhere in the world of all walks of life. To see one thing...
    I enjoyed watching this video... I hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip💐🛵

    Not sure if you'll see this Joe however it's possible that your lower back pain is from a Taurine deficiency. Happens to a lot of lifters and a combination of supplementing with a couple of grams of Taurine spread throughout the day along with a foam roller to loosen up the lower back muscles can make the world of a difference.

    Hi Joe, found your channel this morning, enjoyed the NC 500 video & ended up binging the Corfu episodes , really enjoyed your chilled approach 😊
    Look forward to the remaining NC trip which we did slowly over 17 days in 2021 , it's and I can’t wait to return but in the meantime will soak up your experience 😀

      Thank you! Absolutely, I didn’t really enjoy the east coast as there wasn’t a huge amount to see. If I did it again I would spend more time in the west and drive back through the centre.

    We did the NC500, east coast first few weeks back in our campervan, we went up through the Cairngorms, l cycled the Great Glen way in 2018, stopping and starting at Fort William, it's stunning Scotland, particularly up in the highlands, that north coast however is a different level again I'd say, coastal obviously, enjoy the journey.... 👌🏻❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Enjoyed Ep1 and will follow the series but Ive been on a motor cycle for 50 years and still don't get why riders with great gear (Roker drop liner jackets etc) let the rain soak everything! A Scott rain and pants combo (£160) is the best weather protection I have ever had. Try watching Bath rugby from the open stand in Oct to realise the value of proper waterproof clothing!! I put mine on when it rains and everything below it is 100% dry. Great tour though!!

    Nice one Mate. I'm in Rochdale and, have done the NC 500 four times over a few years. Much the same as you, Fort Bill is my preferred 1st nights stop. As for the weather, last September I got all kitted up for the typical Scottish weather, and boy did I get it wrong! 😞. It hit 20c one day, I nearly melted lol. I'm looking forward to the next instalment 👍🏍.
