- Few CZcamsrs would consider spending 4½ days of travel just for a 30 minute video. It doesn't doesn't sound like good time management, but it does provide content unique content. Sit back, relax and promise me you'll never do this journey.

There's something about these behind-the-scenes videos, they're so authentic and down to earth, and very watchable! The 56 minutes and 48 seconds flew by, it's not often you can say that! Well done mate, another epic trip, thanks for keeping the camera rolling when I know it'd be the last thing you'd really feel like doing!
You guys need some more races! 😊
Thanks Steve. The worst case scenario would be "Well that's 56 minutes and 48 seconds of my life I won't get back." Noel Philips did a similar video recently and I mentioned how this type of video helps kill the urban myth that CZcamsrs film for 30 min and spend the rest of the day lounging by the pool.
Hi steve.
🙏🙏🙏
It would be a great video if you can get a bunch of CZcamsrs together and do a race of sorts around the UK, like a scavenger hunt? 😊
Great video, Scott.
I made a note of the coach company's name, Peters Reisen in Wasbek, Germany. Unfortunately I could not make out the coaches registration number.
I also took the liberty to send them an email complaining about the driver and pointed out that it is perfectly legal here in the UK to photograph absolutely anything as long as the photographer is in a public place.
I did this, of course, in German.
Yeah, the Germans are weird with their privacy, OTT but probably down to all the shit they went through with the National Socialists and later the Stasi, can't have been easy.
Scott " I got the city view.. I was hoping for a sea view"..
Why do I have Fawlty Towers in my head for.. 😂
Nice concept for a video, the parts that we don’t normally see. I know that feeling :)
Thanks for your comment. I'm a subscriber of your channel so it's great to hear from you. 😃
@@PlanesTrainsEverything me too, Tom has some cool content, loved the epic Scandinavian trip
Very enjoyable video, thank you. The reason you heard so many Germans in Cornwall was because of Rosamunde Pilcher OBE. A Cornish born author, whose sweeping novels were set in Cornwall. Her novels (which have sold over 60 million copies); were serialised by ZDF, one of the main TV stations. This series is hugely popular Sunday night viewing. The Germans love to see where the series is set. Rosamunde served in the Navy during the second world war. She has a Scottish connection. She married a naval hero (Grahame Pilcher, jute executive) and after the war they settled in Dundee.
Anyone get the impression Scott fancied fish & chips? 😂😂
Fish And Chip's!
That was hectic and great to watch and I can imagine you were asleep right before your head hit the pillow, when you slept in your own bed!
Untill the next one, thank you very much!!!
Oh my. Rest up Scott. I always enjoy your videos. That was awesome. Thank you Scott
I can't explain it, but the PTE videos are far more satisfying and comforting than any Netflix series or traditional telly documentary. There is something truly wonderful about your uploads and i'm still working my way through them. How about (as some suggestions): "Van (Turkey) to Inverness: The Longest Possible Flixbus Journey", "Spending 3 days on back-to-back low cost airline flights", John O'Groats to Lands End: the long way" (i.e. you fly out/don't go through Britain and get the ferry back from St Marys), " Feel free to nick them!
Thoroughly enjoyed coming along with you Scott. Safe travels
I love these videos. I appreciate the planning you put in anyways but this elevates it. Creating captivating content takes a lot of work. Truly, we do appreciate it and love the videos.
I wasn't expecting to see Bristol here! If you're back there again, the bakery is UNDER the station and serves coffee etc. If you take the steps down when you come outside the station, you'll find it but it definitely isn't well signposted. It's called Hart's.
Great video as always
This is even more interesting than the resulting video already posted, thanks!!!
Really enjoying these "behind the scenes' videos Scott, real eye openers!!! 👍
Wow..the behind the scenes logistics is incredible Scott. Very interesting
Scott you are legend mate , please continue making videos , the content is great and you give help and information plus entertainment. I'm pressing that subscribe button now ! Keep doing what your doing mate !
God bless from Paul
like the structured approach. That is why you are good at doing what you do
Your scrambled eggs looked more poached. Love your videos 😊
Think by then his head was scrambled 😂
I stayed in the Queens hotel in Penzance, way back in 1971. Did the journey from Dorset with my parents, brother and a Cocker spaniel called Judy in a Reliant Regal.😊
Braver man than I. I will say having just been to John O Groats yes touristy , but the walk form there is beautiful
I always enjoy watching your travels
wherever you go have a great week
until your next video thank you.🇬🇧🇬🇧
What an epic journey. Well done for finishing. Looking forward to the next one.
You were shouted at to delete a photo of his bus, but the video of the bus whose privacy he so valiantly fought to protect is now on a CZcams video watched by 28,000 so far. Classic.
It's a bus painted with the company and probably phone number if I rewatched it! I've been yelled at for lots of things, but this is beyond stupid.
👍🏻😊 another awesome video Scott thank you! 😊
"The hole in the wall" pub? You have walked a long way.
The next time you visit Bristol Temple Meads station and want to have proper place to consume coffee, you can walk outside the side door of the station, then go pass the Meads Reach Bridge or Valentine Bridge, and you'll find some fairly good cafe within minutes of walk.
What a great video Scott, you have such stamina! Definitely a thumbs up from us and marks out of 10 .... 11 🥰 well done and thank you for the lovely scenery and views
I love Perth Broxden because it's a 10 minute walk to my house and I can get the bus to pretty much anywhere major in the country.
It’s out of the city centre because there was a lot of local skepticism around trains when first introduced to Bristol
Funny how England keeps their NIMBY "tradition" strong. Some things never change...
Everything about this video was absolutely awesome, incredible and fantastic. I’ve so enjoyed watching this video. Thank You.
I recently drove from my house in Cumnock to Penzance just purely because I love driving lol. It took me about 11 hours with some stops on the motorway.
Scott & Steve, i was in Bristol this weekend and spent 4 hours at ss brunel ship, fantastic time and lovely staff. Steve I went to pieminister after watching your video, was excellent I didn't go for the mothership though. Brunel was some man he is Bristol.
This was amazing Scott. What a punishment on your body and all in the name of You Tube. Watched both videos - I'd love to see Penzance but don't think I'd ever go there (or back) by bus!
The church bells were lovely timing. Really like this video.
The cafes at Temple Meads are mostly underground in the subway. There is a quiet waiting room on platform 13/14. There is also a Greggs, Spoons and a few other shops/cafes just 1 minute walk from the station, from a secondary entrance
When I spent almost a year in the UK in 1994/95, I did some travelling, but I did not travel ENOUGH! So I now travel with you to compensate for that. To catch up in a way! Thank you!
Your indepth knowledge of the travel industry.
Combined with your Scotish miser attitude adds to the enjoyment.
With the odd Blaire cameo.
It makes it a most enjoyable watch.
Also Looking forward to Mr Marsh and his pubcrawl in the most remote part of the world.
Hi Scott. Personally I loved this more than the original lands end to John o’groats video! It’s all the little bits we never think of that goes into the main video, brilliant!
Scott these are just as good as the real video, if not better. Love it 😂😂
I tbh enjoyed this more than the bus challenge, and I really enjoyed that.
Also been to Tiree, absolutely lovely place. Went again from Dorset with my brother, his two lovely Spaniels and a Land Rover called Rita .
Another fantastic vlog Scott, well done Sir 👏🏻👏🏻, it was a real joy to watch it all from start to finish, and always with a tale or two to tell, love it 👍
Wonderful video! Great to have a look behind the scenes!
I love these behind the scenes videos, Scott! (I really enjoyed the Lands End to John O’Groats video, too. Lands End is so much more commercialized than when I was there in 1980 but the coast is still gorgeous.)
St. Mary, Redcliffe is a gorgeous cathedral. The next time you're in Bristol.....You're eggs looked poached. When you got on the bus in Penzance there was someone behind you on the open section wrapping up against a monsoon. Seeing the sign Dangerous Cliffs - I expected a group of violent 1960s singers to come at you!!
I think you did the right thing by flying to Bristol, those CrossCountry trains rarely have enough carriages for the demand. Even with a seat reservation I've had many miserable journeys with them.
I love these behind the scenes videos! Thank you so much for making this - it was really informative and interesting.
Aw Scott.. amazing how you achieved this...we love coming with you...the longer the better🤩perhaps this one was too long for you...anyway scott...well done for completing your epic challenge..🍺🍩cheers till the next one...
Scott, your Behind the Scenes videos are at least as entertaining and interesting as your ‘real ones’. Please keep doing them. Lands End to John O’Groats is one of those to do journeys and your trip was brilliant.
Incidentally, Coffee #1 is a small chain in the South West (think it started in Cardiff actually) that we always used to visit when we lived in Gloucestershire. Way better than the massive multinationals and they used to have tea-cakes the size of dinner plates which were delicious.
4:10 The Young Ones episode “University Challenge” was filmed at Bristol Station and the rest of the series at BBC Bristol and around Bristol
I love these behind the scenes videos. Hope you make more of them.
When I and my wife have been in Penzance, we've loved Queen Hotel.
That was excellent, but one crazy journey
I've completed now my Public Bus LEJOG I mentioned in a comment in the other video, and honestly, it felt a lot less stressful than yours! Really cool to see this behind the scenes stuff, having recently also killed a bunch of time in bus stations 😆
Thanks for this, both sides of the video were excellent 👌🏻 we are travelling by sleeper to the far north and off to John O' Groats and Orkney so all was of interest, well done on the trip 👍🏻
I love watching your videos Scott, been a loyal subscriber for years and love watching your channel. Your videos helped inspire me to travel from Munich to stoke on Trent purely by coach 😂 took me 36 hours but such an experience!
Great concept covering the same trip, sort of, with two videos. I like the the alternate idea and you did it really well! Thanks for the great journey and for your insight!
Great job Scott..you love to travel !!..that trip must of been more than a little challenging & exhausting..keep up the good work !!..Hope you had a good sleep in your own bed ! ..until your next adventure
Excellent video really enjoyed this one. Your such a genuinely down to earth guy
Hello scott. The reason why there are so many Germans here in Cornwall is due to the Rosamund pilchard TV series in Germany based around Cornwall. It's a very popular programme apparently. Kind regards.
thoroughly enjoyed this - I love it when you rabbit on
Absolutely brilliant. Love the behind the scenes ❤
Hello from Helensburgh just down the road from you. Absolutely love this type of video Scott. Really shows how much work goes into a video. Funny I was thinking while watching the first video, he had to do Paisley down to lands end and back to Paisley again it's basically double the journey. Great video.
Very enjoyable video. Shows just how much preparation and planning Scott puts into these videos as well as having to watch the budget. As for being told you cannot photograph a German coach, I'm sure Basil Fawlty would have something to say about that. I like the spontaneous element - things not quite going to plan reflects reality.
For future travels, there is a cafe on platform 10 of Bristol Temple Meads, I believe. Or, when you were standing with your back to the station, there are two lovely cafes beneath you built into the arches. Great content as always, cheers scott.
Loving these Behind the scenes videos Scott! 🤩
Id give it a 10 out of 10 - for interestng shots and also plenty of funny moments ....Keep doig what you do it's Ace 😂😂😊
We found the journey really interesting. Thank you for all your effort. We love watching your videos. 3 from New Zealand
As you so obviously love these multi day treks :-) here's an idea ... 12 days of Christmas. To be shown over the 12 days when people are off work and can watch. Visiting European Christas Markets (filmed in advance obviously) and very loosely having a theme matching the day of Christmas. I'm sure nobody will mind if it takes only 6 days to film .... or six months.
Thanks Scott that was a brilliant video 👍
Great video Scott. I do enjoy these behind the scenes videos almost as much as the real (um that will do) videos. Love the effort you put in to entertaining all of us. Thanks for the scenery and insights. I bet you enjoyed your own bed. 😅
Please go to the Scilly Isles for us! That would be so interesting to cover the little islands off the UK.
The author Rosamund Pilcher is very popular in Germany and many of her novels, set in Cornwall, have been dramatised for German TV… there are quite a few German sight seeing tours looking at film venues etc….:
Love the behind the scenes videos!
Scott, would love a video regarding how you fund and book theses journeys. I presume due to you and my leisurely age it eliminates the cost of buses in Scotland. 😂However would be great to see the prices of trains buses regionally in England. What ticket type/railcards you use.
Great again thanks
Awesome video as always 😊
Fancy not showing my home town of Lostwithiel, how rude lol 😂
Please feature us next time. We have coffee in the town!
love the videos.keep them coming.have you done any videos around the baltic area.
Wonderful. and informative. I'm sure Scott is bursting with ideas for new videos but I would like to issue him with a challenge! To take a train journey that no longer exists! (well the path of one anyway on a bus) i think it could be actually three different videos starting at the folk and transport museum in Belfast and learning why they pulled up a lot of northern irelands railway system, heading to Fermanagh via Augher Clougher and five mile town along the torn up railway path stopping off for coffee and a visit at the five mile town library railway museum, then onward to Enniskillen and a railway museum in a barbor shop! The next video is the island challenge in Fermanagh to see how many islands he can visit in one day i.e Devenish, Inishmac saint by water taxi and tour speedboat or the Kestral MK4and Boa by ferry and overnight an island hotel in one day and then back to Dublin airport via Belleek and the highpoints, starway to heaven ! but he better be quick to organize it , I see Steve Marsh reads his comments! lol
Still enjoyable to watch ❤
Another brilliant video Scott cheers ☘️
Here's something for next time someone asks you to delete a photo.
The second you take a photo it becomes your property, to ask you to delete your photo is illegal as it's destruction of your property. They'd need a court order for permission and that can only be given if they can prove your photo is to be used for malicious purposes. I don't know if that's the law in Germany but it is here.
Nothing in the world like your own bed Scottie!
You do go the extra mile. 😊💪
I do enjoy these behind the scenes videos Scott! I was wondering how you got to Lands End in the first place, so this answers it :)
I really enjoyed this vlog!
Incredible video! You have more dedication than me, thats for sure!
Great video as always and yes in the future i will try the lands end to John O something!!
Surprised you walk right past a really good coffee shop at Temple Meads Approach. And Coffee #1 is a chain originally from Wales, they do nice and cheap Welsh cakes.
Loved both your videos, lovely scenery at both ends and the weather was kind to you.
Only problem is I now want fish and chips or that delicious looking Mac Cheese.😂
Well that' was an interesting bit of travelling 🤔 you must have great stamina to do these challenges 😀 xxx
Great variety of transport 😃👍
I cycled Lands End to John O Groat's in 2019, I must admit the getting to and from the start and finish was definitely the most trying part! Also I found John O Groats a great deal preferable to lands end, its touristy but atleast its not so tacky as lands end. That said I also visited Dunnet head which was gorgeous. Cool video thanks for doing these crazy things!
There used to be a direct overnight coach from edinbugh via glasgow to penzance national express 336
Great video ! However you took the wrong exit at Temple Meads station. If you had walked through the old Brunel terminus with the long overall roof - now mostly a car park, you would have found several watering holes very close by !
Thanks - this answers my question posted in part 1
33:12 DATENSCHUTZ!!!!!! Many German coach drivers have this attitude unfortunately.
Ah, you just missed one of the best cafes in Bristol - Hart's Bakery at Temple Meads, just off to the left when you were walking from the station building. Definitely one to try next time you're there, absolutely brilliant coffees, baked goods and a bit of seating too - though it mostly serves take-out for those with a train to catch.
Well Done
At the end you are pleased to be sleeping in your own bed understandably, but did you notice the other highlight at that moment - there was a Gregg’s behind you. 👍😂
