Loving your videos. Can only imagine how many episodes it’s going to take to get to Istanbul! 50+!😱

We are overwhelmed by how much content we have! I think it’s over 2.5 TB! We filmed more initially because it was so new to us, but gradually filmed less.

Thats some hard bikeing, in personal experience the rain over there is brutal! Its a different cold and the "little" hills seem to go on forever.

We were trying to go the more adventurous way 🤷♂️. I don’t think I’d go that way again, but it was nice to see.

Really?! We are good about keeping our eyes on our bikes and taking turns shopping etc which helps I think.

To carry all your gear on a backpack is as ridiculous as the following. Back when people only rode donkeys someone was spotted riding a donkey carrying a bag of mellons over his shoulder bearing the weight of the mellons. When asked why not strap the bag to the donkey's back he answers that he doesn't want to overburden the donkey. Your traditional setup with panniers is the most practical and, as you showed, it doesn't have to be heavy, without cameras. Let the cool people use their hip setup, take tons of time to reach for a jacket or food and carry the mellons on their back.

Yes the cycling infrastructure in the UK is poor generally with far too little separation of cyclists from motor transport. Going to be interesting to see how other countries fare. Oh - you insulted 5.5 miliion Scots. Scotland is not part of England! The UK is made up of four Countries (Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland).

I don’t recall us saying anything about scottland being part of England in the video…? If it seemed that way, we definitely didn’t mean it that way! We are very aware they are different. We’ve made friends while traveling in a several different countries in the UK :) Scotland is super high on our bucket list too.

@grahamcastle8189 you probaby misheard at 19:26 where Liz says "Scotland and England"?
