I've done the Chunnel on many occasions on Moto and Motorhome, through dog pet passport, and always simple and the most prompt and effective means of travel. Never use ferries.

You seem to forget that this is a hard international border. Thanks to Brexit, it will even get more difficult when ETIAS is in place. Also in Folkstone you can only enter the tunnel via an exit of the motorway. For some reason you turned around at the first roundabout instead of young straight on. It seems you entered the address of Euro tunnel offices in your sat nav because that's were you ended up.

Would you mind sharing the name of the campsite? Cheers

Fck me you’re a jolly fellow

Cracking video mate👌

I did Ballach the other way to you last year on my wing, momentum and confidence is all that's needed.

Thanks for the vid, you’ve gained a subscriber 😊 The most important question for me is, what was the Lake Vyrnwy Spa like?!

Can you share your route in Wales Im very interested in where you were riding, it looks fantastic

Riding the Großglockner in this weather is a waste of money. Paid a bunch of money, saw nothing, missed the Edelweißspitze and Franz-Josefs-Höhe. Next time when the weather is nice!

1:01 That picture doesn't show Groß-Glockner. That shows the upper east side of Stilfserjoch!

You've got that Merlin mesh jacket same as me, I've yet to dare go touring in it. I was going to wear a heated vest and a lightweight down jacket under it with a waterproof to go over it but seems a faff , i'm sure i would appreciate it when it gets hot, it's mainly my arms that suffer when it gets chilly. How did you get on with it and how did you layer up, would be interested to know , i've tried so much crap to find the perfect touring jacket i doubt it even exists .

Looks like i might enjoy.

Is Google maps good?

What's happened to the Vids Sheldon ??

Credit to you for sharing this. Many of us have been there, but it can’t be stressed enough - stop riding and take a good break! Your head will be in the wrong place to be carrying on. Relive your experience away from the bike.

Years ago my wife and I rode a Kawasaki Z750L loaded with camping gear from Chesterfield, Derbyshire to Bala Lake at night in the pissing rain all the way there. We arrived at about 9pm to be told "no bikes allowed on here!". My wife was nearly in tears wondering what we could do. It was only when the owner realised we were a fairly respectable married couple that he let us pitch up. He put us right outside his office so he could 'keep his eye on us'. He said he'd had no end of trouble from 'bikers' getting drunk and revving their bikes. We walked into Bala and saw nothing but drunken students making the bikers look like nuns.

Another GS 1250 rider who can’t handle anything more serious that flat tarmac. That surface is nothing. Try sending it at 40mph down a cross country disused farm track on stock tyres. I’ve done it and have plenty of videos on instagram to prove it. I ride a Tiger 900 Rally Pro.

I know this isnt about Dorsoduro 750 and that bike is also a twin, but I got an offer and I am wondering if you would think it would work for 10-12 hours touring. 80% of my riding is twisties in the mountains of Norway. But I also do long touring to Sweden and down to Europe. I want something light and nibble but also kind of stable. Is the air protection bad?

Ill say this about the GS they crash well. What road is that mate its epic

Nah, thats not a crash just a topple, love your honesty but don't make too much of this, no damage no one even scratched. Crack on, great video!

Short break. Also 4 months later Where are the vids i love watching youre trips allot looking forward to some new content keep waiting patiently :D

Good honest video with lessons to be learned. Maybe not constantly chatting to someone while riding difficult roads would be a good idea? Way too much of your focus is inevitably on the person behind you, rather than completely on the challenges ahead.

Love my northern brethren, have been been living in the US too long.

My late father who was a teen during the war said once to that he was always amazed that people volunteerd to get there head blown of in a strang country . Never forget he told me ,that people like that excist

We made sure that we arrived mid week to ride the b500 roads where empty, no police so had a good fast ride

Greetings from N.Ireland.superb series and your sense of Northern humour is brilliant !! We have been lucky ( me and sat nag on the back) to do over the years most what you done, but nice to see from another persons point of view !. You mentioned the battle of Anzio my Father was a Royal Navy Able seaman on the landing craft that put the British troops on the beach, he then went on to the D-Day landings in June that same year being in the first wave to hit Juno beach putting the Canadians on the beach. He told me Anzio was worse than D-Day in his experience. When I listened to you in the commonwealth cemetery you had me welling up also. He passed in 2017 aged 95 good innings considering !! Regards Robert & Carolyn

What's the campsite called?

Hi buddie, any trips planned?

Thank you, going to book that campsite for my trip in June

Lumbold, you are amazing❤

Have you ever tried a pin lock visor on the inside of your helmet to deal with it fogging up? I put one on my new helmet and it seems to help stop the inside fogging up.

This is Brexit for you. It used te be such a smooth ride 😮

I will be visiting on my way to lake garda next month great vids hope you make more this year

Pathetic. Can't even speak English properly. Ps. I have a hayabusa. Gen 2.

Hello Sheldon. Only just found your channel but I've have been binge watching ever since. Gutted for you with the weather you had on that Euro trip, I thought that sort of thing only happened to me. ;-) Anyway, I'm up to date with watching now and looking forward to any new videos released. Keep going lad you're doing great. P.S. Nice to hear from someone with the same accent as me!

Great video, and beinglas campsite is one of my favourites. I did the same as you and drove straight past 🤣

Love your channel, greetings from Belgium.

I will miss you

I like it that u done it in slow mo so we get to see scenery

I was based just up the road from korbecke.British 3rd Armoured div.HQ. shit posting, but the mohne made up for it in summertime😂thankyou for your vid.

Thought it was just us that couldn't find the entrance, everytime we drive up and down that dual carriageway in calais looking for it

t gets easier as you get used to it , ride it often both ways

Very funny episode sherlocks 😂😂😂. Yes if you don’t know you cross the border like its nothing. About the priority, the signs on the road are there only to decorate the speedbumb. So that you see them quicker. Nothing less, nothing more. At the end it only for lower your speed. It worked 😊as I have seen. Thanks for sharing the good work 🎉

Nice to see our dutch country trough the eyes of a English man. In Oosterbeek a village near Arnhem there is a famous but small museum about the fights and situation during the ww2 called airborn museum.

Just watched the darling advert, brilliant

Still catching up & I am glad to see you finally got some good weather. Just a shame about that camp site. Back in 1988 I decided to go to the Bol d' Or Paul Ricard with some mates . As it closer to Sept they all gradually bottled it , none of us had ever been abroad on our bikes before , so determined to go I set off on my own. Prior to leaving everyone told me I would have no trouble finding a camp site in France so that sounded great. Anyway cutting it short I got totally lost and every time I saw a sign for a camp site I would ride to it and find it closed. Yes there were plenty of camp sites but most of them weren't open in September so I really understand how you were both feeling. Cutting the story short I ended up camping in a public park for a night and when I got to the race circuit the toilets were as bad or even worse than what you had. Just for the record I too spent most of my time riding in the rain along with The Mistrel winds I heard never heard of before. But as they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Subsequent trips have been so much easier. Looking forward to catching up on your Scotland trip soon.

You got through safely which is the main thing, easy to lose concentration when your focus is diverted. Eurotunnel normally pretty good with bikes and let you take earlier crossing if space available.

Interesting seeing the P&O ferry, I have a return trip booked on the Stena Line from Harwich to Hook of Holland (basically Rotterdam). Cost £292 for single rider , bike and an outside cabin. Like a window to the outside so I can check the weather without having to go on deck. Came back from Europe on this ferry last year and the cabin was definitely bigger. Not bothering with food as I will get some once in Holland, get on board later as well so will eat in Harwich before sailing.

Yep
