Join me as I travel from the south coast of England to the northernmost point of mainland Scotland! Back in July I made my way up to Scotland to join The Highland Scramble and ride around the world famous NC500 and NE250 routes in The Scottish Highlands on my trusty Triumph Street Triple. If you want to see my route you can download it below. If you use a Beeline you can import this file directly into the Beeline App and ride it yourself!
I have to say a massive thank you to Beeline for supporting me in the creation of this video, if you enjoyed it please let me know in the comments! I would also like to thank the team at Biker BNB who run The Highland Scramble, check them out below for the best long weekend on two wheels and for biker friendly accommodation across the UK!

Good luck if you miss a turn is all I can say, if you don't have signal it won't re-route and will go straight into compass mode. In the highlands it might be quite a long time until you get to a place with signal again

@HenryCrew35 3 жыл бұрын

Duncan Fraser if you miss a turn without signal it doesn’t go to compass mode it just won’t reroute and tells points you back to where you made the wrong turn so you can rejoin your planned route. I have had no issues with this in over a year and 25k miles of usage, I don’t get on very well with compass mode so never use it! Have also used GPX for green lanes with no signal and it’s been awesome 😁

@duncanfraser2390 3 жыл бұрын

@@HenryCrew35 not in my experience, the problem is if I am out in the countryside and decide to pull over to the side for a break etc it will completely lose track of where I was/where I was going and start giving me completely random and incorrect directions when I continue, leading me in circles or telling me to go straight through fields. Even when I did manage to get somewhere that had signal, it still couldn't sort itself.

Hey Henry, just wondering, how waterproof is the Belstaff jacket? I notice you only threw on waterproof trousers and gloves, so I guess you would rate the jacket quite highly?

@HenryCrew35 3 жыл бұрын

Yeh it’s pretty good, the only place I had water get through is the zip (as the flaps that cover it aren’t that great) and the bottom of the jacket as there wasn’t enough overlap with my waterproof trousers but that was in a day of torrential rain in Scotland, I would say for the most part you’ll be fine - just keep a throw over handy on long trips where you might spend a day in heavy rain!

Thanks! It’s a Belstaff McGee 2.0 - I was really impressed, this was the first time I used it and I was nervous about taking it to Scotland but it was comfortable and functional. The waterproofing worked well and I only got slightly wet through the neck and at the waist after a torrential day on the bike which is to be expected from any jacket after 8 hrs riding.

Thanks Niall! I had some Bluetooth issues with an old phone (iPhone 6) but it’s been pretty faultless apart from user error of switching it to bicycle mode by accident 😂 it has a backlight for riding at night which comes on at sunset or can be turned on manually. I don’t have an issue in the rain, I ride off-road in rain and mud etc and never had an issue! Hope you liked the podcast!

Hi Evan, Sorry I missed this comment! It wasn't really a priority for me at the time - I focussed mainly on day to day documentation on social media - all those daily stories are saved as highlights on my IG page if you want to check them out. It's a whole lot of work to do video justice and as I was also trying to break the record etc and on my own I don't think it would have been possible. I'll definitely be doing more adventures specifically with the intention of filming in the future - I think you really have to build the trip around it.
