From Oz … very pleasant video. Thank you. Emigrated in 1969, have returned soooo many times to see relatives. Last year, finally managed to spend time on holiday with cycling as a key component. Now looking at Lejog for ‘25. Planning same Sustrans route on NCN. BUT will plan to combine tent, hostels and hotels. No support car. Pray for fine weather as you appeared to have. And no mention of midges!

I visited Cardross with some German guests at the beginning of September. The welcome in the pro shop was brusque to say the least. We were overcharged , the course has a good layout but the condition of the greens was shocking - I’ve seen better tee boxes. Seriously embarrassed to take my German guests there after playing several other Scottish courses for less money and in excellent condition with a very convivial atmosphere. We will not be returning.

Many thanks for posting this.... I've bought the NCN LEJOG book, it is longer at almost 1200miles but do you think its worth the extra mileage? All the best
@outandaboutinscotland35613 жыл бұрын
The NCN route is for people who want to take their time and see the country rather than risking their lives flying along main roads to complete the trip as quickly as possible. You will know which best reflects your thinking but for me the extra miles were well worth it and meant that I just saw even more of the country that I hadn't seen before. I hope that helps and good luck when you do go off on your adventure.

@@outandaboutinscotland3561 My thinking exactly.... a friend had a bad accident along one of the A roads in Scotland whilst doing the shorter version JOGLE which made me look at the NCN route originally. It's good to know it takes out that worry..... I suppose the only worry then is what to have for dinner :-) Many thanks

OutandAboutinScotland .....I have the Mountfield sp465r ....the drive axel / pully system looks exactly the same as on yours ( I could be wrong ).....my belt is always coming off either the front ( blade ) pully or the rear drive pully.....I only learned the other day that there is a tension spring at the rear drive pully system ...it gives tension to the belt....if I get a pair of long reach pliers I can release that spring by pulling it out of its attaching hole and then the whole mechanism rotates and the belt is loose ...re attachment then becomes really simple ...hope this works on your model...Regards

Brought back some great memories of cycling Hadrian's Way from Silloth last October. By the way, great improvement in style from the Carlisle to Dumbarton video. Both give a great impression of the sights along the way, but the 'view over the handlebars' here gives a better impression of what it feels like, and it's a great break from 'wide angle going into zoom'.

Thanks Mark - I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and you have made me aware that I need to take a bit more care when putting the video together. I often take very hurried clips or photos because they are primarily to remind me of the trip but - "if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well" I'll try harder.

Thank you for doing this video. Good news! - My belt had come off but I managed to get it back on without undoing any nuts and bolts. Thanks to daveycrockett64, for pointing out the belt cover - I hadn't noticed that under the grass cuttings that had collected on top of it. Here's how I did it: First I disconnected the plug lead - you don't want the engine to start as you turn the pulleys. (Ok, I did have to undo 3 nuts to take the pullstart assembly off so I could get the plug lead off but that's easy enough). Then I pushed the belt cover forward and put a screwdriver under it and prized it upwards to remove it. Then I tied the belt tightly round the pulley by the blade which caused the other end of the belt to spread out. The drive unit is spring loaded to keep the belt tight. This means you can push/twist it towards the other pulley. This also lowers the pulley down slightly so you can get the belt over it by working from above and below. Not easy but I did it. Thanks again to you both.
