Thank you! See you are quite the cyclist yourself, have you been to the Outer Hebrides before?

It's on the list of places to visit (near the top!). 🙂

@@onemorecyclist Sounds great, hope you get there this year!

Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it and appreciate your kind comments ☺️ Have a great week!

He is pretty cool, he's never sure where he is, but still cool. Super happy you enjoyed the video :)

Think either would be great! hope you get a chance to travel there this summer!

Thank you Henry! Really glad you enjoyed the video! 😊

She's groovy ain't she! Oy those panniers are very roomie thank you, managed to stuff lots of unnecessary items into them... probably why they were banned from the next trip.

That's cool! Where's your favourite trip been?

Thanks Seth! You were over in Scotland last year is that right? The ferries are great aren't they, and cheap for foot passengers. Sadly the Barra Penguin remains a myth for now!

@@TheGirlGoneNomad yep, we visited in May 2022. Hope to return one day!

I know right! Never seen such reductions in my life! Happy days

Thanks Tony, it is a brilliant trail I completely agree. When did you cycle it? I really wanted to spend more time on the Isle of Harris and would love to go back. Have you done any other cycle routes in Scotland you'd recommend? Thanks for watching and great to hear you enjoyed it!

@@TheGirlGoneNomad hi, sorry for the late reply! I cycled it in April, a few years ago. I've had a lot of great weather Aprils in Scotland, a country that I love. The Inner Hebrides are great islands to cycle too, Mull, Arran and Skye standing out from the larger ones but the small ones are stunning too. For a short taster of the Inner Hebrides, you could try the 5 Ferries Route. On the mainland and residing in the north of England, the Scottish Borders and Dumfries & Galloway have some great quiet roads with great scenery and aren't too far away. It's hard to go wrong in Scotland! Have you any trips in mind at the moment? Cheers, and all the best 🚵‍♂️👍

@@tonypaddler Thanks Tony, you’ve given me loads of ideas there! Yer I agree, spring is a great time to head to Scotland, avoid the midges and hopefully get some sunshine. Have pencilled in Scotland for May, would love to Mull and Skye, but before then I’d like to get out into Europe again. Heard good things about Galloway too. What about yourself?

​@@TheGirlGoneNomad Hi. I was sure that I had replied to this post 🤔🤷‍♂️ Did you get to Europe this year, and/or Scotland in May? I'm going to the Borders next week for three days with my touring bike, then the week after I'm going back up to Scotland with my gravel bike for another three days. Not too sure where yet but maybe Galloway Forest Park as it's littered with fireroads (and midges 😢) Then the week after that, given a half decent weather forecast, I'm taking my touring bike to Mull and the Ardnamurcham peninsula for about eight days. I was hoping to be cycling in Europe by now but due to a knee injury that'll have to be later this year now, I'm using Scotland as a tester 😁 Cheers, and all the best with your travels 🚲⛺👍

Hehe he’ll not love that down for a while 😁

Thanks Craig 😊 Do you also enjoy getting out and about on the bike?

@@TheGirlGoneNomad yep I done the coast and castle cycle route last summer. Once the weather gets better again I will be planning some more bike adventures

@@CraigDroneAdventures That sounds awesome, would you recommend it? Good plan to wait for slightly warmer days. Have you got some ideas as which routes you fancy?

Thank you so much! Sure, my bike is a Sonder Camino, loved it so far, hopefully it will keep being a great adventure companion! Have you got a gravel bike at the moment?

Hi Mark, thanks for the recommendation, that sounds like a great excuse to book another ferry! I really wanted to spend more time on Harris, it was certainly my favourite of the islands we cycled on that trip. Have you also cycled the route?

@@TheGirlGoneNomad I’ve never cycled it but I’ve been to Lewis and Harris a few times through my work. The beaches on Lewis and Harris hare stunning. Check out Luskentyre, Seliebost, Scarista, Hushinish, Tolsta, and Garry beaches (both side by side) as well as many others on the islands. Personally, Luskentyre takes your breath away, especially when the tide is out 😍

@@markhalliday2397 Appreciate the list, gives me a few to tick off. You must have a great job if it involves visiting the outer Hebrides, very envious! Will remember to check tide times if I go back to get it at its best. Have a great week, all the best

Thank you! Really you enjoyed it. Yer Firepot is good, do you recommend any other brands? I am a on the tall side at 6'1. It can be filled with midges in the summer but we went in May so managed to avoid the swarms!

@@TheGirlGoneNomad I ussually get a bit lazy and go huel meal replacement, its quick and easy especially if you buy the bottles. I always carry a head net now and some smidge from gooutdoors.. life saver. Great video. Whens your next one?

@@BOTG_Adventures Never had Huel, seen it about, is it like a smoothie? Ah top idea, never go wrong with a head-net and bug spray handy. Need to get into the habit of that to stop being bitten alive! Got a new video for this week, been back on the editing, I’m impressed with how you edit and produce several videos a week!

I had a few videos ready to go. life of a singleton thats my weekened either away or editing. look forward to your next video.@@TheGirlGoneNomad
