Well, I’ve eventually got around to reading Jacqui’s book. I can’t express how much I enjoyed it, I was enthralled throughout. I encourage anyone to read it whether a biker or not. You will smile, laugh, shed a tear and above all be totally inspired. Thank you Jacqui for writing your book 🤗
What a fantastic story and so wonderful that you had this chance to meet her, and chat for so long.... A very courageous and talented woman from a time when Females doing this sort of thing was very rare. I think we could go so far as to say Jacqui paved the way for Itchy Boots.
I'm now looking forward to the "Jac and Charlie Road Tour" series!!
Thank you! It was a fascinating and fun evening, Jacqui is a very inspirational lady. 😊
What a wonderful lady Jacqui is, so courageous and free spirited. What a privilege it is for you to have met her. Your interviewing style is perfect Charlie. Many thanks for bringing us this vlog 🙏. I am going to order the book now.
Times were way different back then not so trusting today. The book sounds an interesting read, thanks for bringing this to light Charlie.
My pleasure! 😊
Hi Charlie.
How spooky, I had just take delivery of Jacqui's book and turned to your channel and there you where talking to her.
What a lovely lady and a great interview.
Thanks for another great video.
Have just bought another Royal enfield and your video has given me the urge to travel on it .
Thanks Charlie .
Have a safe trip and the dog is brilliant watching the TT 😂
Thank you Charlie, it is so lovely to see my dear friend Jacqui, the book is brilliant and Jcqui an absolute sweetheart.
Hi Jcqui from Royal Enfielder's Ireland.
Great interviewing style. I met Jacqui in Greece last year; she really is an inspirational lady, and delightful company.
What a fantastic interview Charlie and what an amazing lady. She is such an inspiration to us all.
Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Definitely the most interesting and intriguing interview I've seen in a long time, she puts us all (including myself) to shame
Absolutely amazing Charlie, what an inspirational lady thanks for making me aware of her story and book , all the very best to the both of you
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thanks Charlie that was very interesting and I will be getting the book , girl power is the way forward 😊
Jacqui’s book just arrived to me from Amazon 😎
Great interview Charlie. Jacqui is a real adventurer in the spirit of those Victorian British ladies who crossed Deserts on Camels or trekked into wild places. No fuss, no publicity, just did it. A book for my Winter reading for sure.👍
What an inspiring interview! I just bought a Himalayan (2023)…the 411..last year for those! And all I want to do is pack up and disappear on her! Thank you!
Awesome great to see another woman biker
Thanks Charlie for that amazing story, wow to go that far by yourself back over 20 years ago she is a great inspiration. I see a movie there.
Now that would be very fun!
Fantastically inspiring video, well done both of you. I have 9 Royal Enfield's but am overdue for an adventure on this scale. I now reside in Australia, Must get cracking. Fantastic!.... By the way Rest day rider I owned the house opposite the Prestleigh inn where you got breakfast after the bike show at the bath and west show ground, and it was very strange to see my old house through the prestleigh inn window whilst sitting hers in my new house in Queensland Gold Coast Australia. I might add which has some fantastic biking roads and the perfect weather to enjoy them with. If you feel the urge to explore SE Queensland do look me up, no spider swallowing is required. Keep up the great work....from a fellow west country man Lester Hall.
Wonderful and inspiring. Ordered the book
Great interview Charlie, I'm just reading her book!
What a superb interview 👍👍👍
I've just finished the book and all I can say is "wow"! For anyone even remotely interested in motorcycles or traveling and especially traveling on motorcycles this book is a must-read. Thanks again for this one Charlie. I would never have learned about this impressive lady or her story if it weren't for your channel. Good luck on your own adventures as well.
It is a fabulous read isn't it! Glad to have shared it with you. 😊
Lovely interview, just bought Jacqui’s book off this !
Sardines to Sardinia , that’s got to be her new book title surely 😂
😂
great interview, Charlie and good for Jacqui, I`d forgot all about the Hu forum, they helped me to find a roll on roll off ferry to S Korea from Russia(who knew!) nearly 20 years ago, good to see Jacqui is off again, I`m off to dig my scrape book out to get some motivation, been sat on my ass too long.🤣👍
I'm sure if Jacqui and I can persuade just a few people ( you!) to get out there on your bike for an adventure then it's a mission success!
If you enjoyed talking about her journey You have to read LONE RIDER by Elsbeth Beard. The first British woman to ride round the world. Fantastic read and quite tearful at the end. I highly recommend it. There are some really brave women and fantastic adventurers.
Already read that and been to a talk buy the lady herself. Great Read! 😊
Thank you for inducing her story to some of us! Always enjoy Moto traveling stories. Looking forward to her book!
Book 📖 out of stock 😮 need that book, what a woman , great interview 😉
Jacqui says she is restocking now. 😊
What an interesting lady. If you ever come down to see the bike in Moretonhamstead, feel free (with friends) to camp with Helen and me, who love your vids 😊. We are near Newton Abbot but out in the countryside and have a huge garden 😅.
Thank you, that sounds lovely! 😊
Great interview, what inspiration 😊
Your so inspiring and what a cool woman especially being a biker 😊
Greetings from down under. Thankyou both so much. Very inspiring. I recently read Lone Rider a book by Elspeth Beard, her story as the first British woman to motorcycl around the world back in the 1980,s. Maybe another excellent conversation on your channel...jus sayin. Thankyou.
Absolutely brilliant interview Charlie I think you done wonderful in chatting with Jacqui dare I say your a natural! & what an inspiration she was I will definitely read her book thank you both 👍🏻
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Nice one Charlie , i saw this lady when she visited Haywards RE in Cambridge last month to give a talk about her motorcycle world travels . interesting lady .
Very awesome interview! Two amazing women riders and both legends! The world could be so much better with more people like you two. Thank you for this, you have set the bar very high for future!
What a lovely compliment, thank you. 😊
Excellent! Purchased the book while listening to this interview!
It's a fabulous read. 😊
Morning Charlie,
I was so rapt watching your interview, I set fire to my breakfast🤣
I'll get a copy of if the book to read, sounds fascinating.👍
Oh No! Hope it was salvageable!
@@restdayrider it was ashes😂🤣 had to start again.🙄
Excellent, enjoyed. My friend John finished University, took a year off to do V.S.O in Papua New Guinea in 1978. He helped set up a coconut plantation and was the only European for about 100 miles. Had to deal with some tricky situations. But that started him on his travels. Which as you mentioned was without mobile phones and such. He spent the next 11 years travelling around the world. He went just about everywhere you could actually go (when he retired he went to the places he couldn’t go like Vietnam and Cambodia). He only had motorcycles in Australia and New Zealand. In Australia he rode completely round the perimeter and the middle! He eventually came home and at 34 finally got a job and a BMW GS. 🤣 He could definitely write a book and it would have so many interesting adventures that it would be far better than most travel books. He kept diaries throughout. I tried to get him to but he won’t. Our loss! 👍
I do love listening to people's travels and journeys. 😊
Very nice interwiew, thanks to both off you, there is a whiff off girlpower in it!!!
Quite right too! 🤣
What a great story! Looks like I know what book I'm going to read next. As always I love your videos. Thanks for taking the time to create them.
Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Read the book. Great read and great interview. Have you picked a new bike yet? My Himalayan 450 has finally arrived!
I am getting closer to a decision, this week !!!
Excellent
Great interview! I love to hear the stories of others! What a life!!!
I wonder how did she do it monatery wise...
I'll go check her book. Thanks for sharing!
wow what a lady. Reminds me of the cycling adventure rider josie dew. Amazon here I come! We need more of this type of traveler,! Stay safe every one.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Lovely!
I wish you both happy travelling.
Morning Charlie, you've moved up to another level with this one. Marvellous interview with a very accomplished lady, well put together and presented. I read Jacqui's book a few years ago, and it's overdue to be re-read. Brilliant video thanks. 😎
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Bloody interesting I going to have to get her book
It's a great read. 😊
You have made a good start with your trip to Scotland on the Royal Enfield meteor 350. Then all of your camping trips on Roger etc. 😊
A great interview, Charlie. I've had her book for a year and still not got around to reading it. It's time to start, I think.
Most Definitely! 😊
The bullet is my favorite bike!❤
I had been watching videos but this is one of the best one
Thank you! 😊
Fantastic video Charlie, what a amazing lady
Fantastic interview. What an amazing lady! When is Rest day rider becoming Charlie conquers the world 🌎🏍️😁
Well, that would be awesome indeed!
@restdayrider Get to it! 🏍🌎
Very inspirational, can't wait to get my full licence and start travelling more.
Charlie where did you get your t shirt from , would love to get one, been looking for more biking tops , and of course my birth year too 😊 x
Hi! This was one of those pop up ads on Facebook, it reeled me in! 🤣
I have to tell you Charlie, I have ordered the super meteor 650. Can’t wait to get it 😊
Excellent!
So Jacqui was the original Itchy Boots. My goal is to meet you Charlie and also Itchy boots Noraly. Her exploits are so gripping to see her journeys around the world. I’ll certainly look out for Jacqui’s book. Noraly has wrote a book in Dutch but she will write it in English. So, Charlie that leaves you to write a book about your travels and experiences. 😊
🤣 well, I think I have a few more miles and adventures to go before I can create something like that!!
That was the quickest 1/2 hour of the day.
Amazing woman
