Not often I watch a KZbin video that I have a permanent smile on my face. Everyone needs a Katie in their life to pull them through. Loved this one mate, nice work.

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

That's the best feedback. Glad we could put a smile on a viewers face.

[@edenbreckhouse]

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it - the Catalina was not a jet, it was a two piston engined flying boat used by Coastal Command in WW2. Yes, I am am aviation nerd. And cyclist.

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

Strong knowledge. I completely missed that. Thank you for the info.

[@speckofdust272]

Hate to say this Adam but Katie really made this worth watching … she’s a keeper …more biking adventures together with her please 🙏👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@davidthompson1622]

Good stuff Adam ....first time I’ve seen Katie, what a nice person 🤙🤙⭐️⭐️

[@christopherhood9241]

Nice file & all my memories came flooding back. I completed the Hebridean Way last weekend, train to Tyndrum then cycled to Oban for the ferry. Wild camped the whole trip - completed Hebridean way in 2 days. Cycled back to Ullapool via ferry from Stormoway. Big ride from Ullapool to Fort William completed by circuit. Awesome countryside and amazing yet quite beeches.

[@robertbowler6130]

Wow! What a trip. Well done. 👍

[@markbowen5516]

Cycling from Fishguard Wales to Bristol tomorrow. This vid is just what you need to start your cycling holiday 👍👍🍻

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

Excellent journey. Hope you have a great time.

[@howardbarr7630]

Looks like you had a blast guys. Planning to do the same trip in 2022 with a bunch of pals so great to see some of it close at hand. Nice job

[@papamama5186]

I just find this video at 6am and it's make my day 👍 Love that type of people ❤️ Thank you so much!

[@germcevoy]

Lovely lovely film. Thank you.

[@tomagapitos]

Magnificent stuff mate! The more I see this, the more I get inspired!

[@derekreardon2095]

Loved your video. Very inspirational. Enjoy the rest of your journeys.

[@tonyfrewin4822]

Thanks for the great video. That looks like another one for the bucket list.

[@michaelyoung24]

What an amazing trip. I'm glad you guys finished it! Thanks for sharing.

[@achnamara]

Great to see the Hebrides looking so good. Enjoyed that.

[@randallgd]

Awesome made our hearts smile as fellow couple bikepackers. Good on you two :)

[@takadacol]

Thanks for that, guys! As a Lewisman living in Tokyo, it was nice to see some familiar places and enjoy the experience with you. Looking forward to your next trip.

[@PerfDayToday]

Yay… nice to see you on a bike again! Cheers from Pacific NW 🇺🇸

[@lurchyboysings]

What a great little film! Really enjoyed that. Thanks!

[@Lughnerson]

Never saw any of your videos before, but I love biking and loved this videos. You are also very lucky to have someone with a great attitude who is always laughing.

[@rmcguirephoto]

I've been intrigued by the idea of cycling in the Hebrides since learning that some of my ancestors emigrated from Lewis to Canada in 1851. These days though, in my senior years, my style would be one of staying in B&Bs and taking day trips on an electric bike. Watching you two battle rain, winds, steep climbs and midges brought back memories of how tough this type of travel is. It was great to watch it vicariously from the comfort of my home, though I could feel your pain! Your videography and story telling were great. Well done! And Katie is definitely a keeper!

[@Onroulelaboule]

Very nice energie between you two!!! Nice tour !

[@hardtailstrails1299]

Good to see you back on the bike, enjoying your self recording, and with a nee partner!! Looking forward to more!

[@jimbratherton]

That was a joy to watch Adam. You have really mastered your drone shots, editing and music selections. Brilliant

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

That's very kind. Thank you.

[@bonsaiStew]

Just found this gem of a post. LOVE the drone footage and you're reflections, good and frustrating. Katie was a lovely highlight to it all as well. Made my afternoon.... Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@derekdelboy]

Great to see you back out on the bike.

[@wlsweat1]

Glad Katie is traveling with you. You both look so happy enjoying the ride and the sights.

[@GetInspiredMedia]

Thank you for taking us on your amazing journey Adam and Katie. Absolutely gorgeous, even with the rain! Oooooh, loved the Pizza :) Well done!! Dave from down-under

[@IanFarmer]

An amazing journey, I want to do this early next year, i just completed the nc500 so this has to be next on the list. Looked like you had an amazing time (apart from the rain of course) keep those legs spinning 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mkysiak]

Good to see you back, Adam! Islands are always amazing, aren’t they? I did 700km touring major islands of Estonia this year and it was great, but this is just - wow! I am definitely adding Scottish archipelagos to my bucket list, although this point may be hard to achieve…

[@OlofLaurin]

That is really the hardest part of biketouring - making room in your calendar. Oh, and not not quitting half way... I liked the format of the video with a companion a lot.

[@PaulGreenVlog]

Great vlog! The Hebrides are on my wish list!

[@glasgowsports]

Great, really enjoyed this thanks

[@ML-rw1cd]

Great Video & Great Couple... happy vibes!!

[@Sophie703]

So inspiring. Gorgeous footage. Plus, your lovely smiles! Can’t wait for my turn to ride the Hebridean Way - and hopefully grab some pizza too!

[@toofargonetours]

So happy to see you back on your bike! You inspired me to go bike touring and make videos as a fellow northerner - to the extent that I cycled JOGLE and i'm making videos about it right now! Nice one Adam.

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

Thats so cool! I hope you had a great time cycling through the UK. Keep making videos and having a good time.

[@maxflight777]

Superb. Thanks for posting. I loved 4:50 Katie looked so happy.

[@takvertakvera]

Thanks for the memories... wish there had of been a pizza container stop in 1988 when I cycled the Hebridean Way. I remember the midges. And cycling up the hill out of Tabet in pouring rain, then the mist on top. But it was so totally different to cycling in Australia. Completely different landscape, and cycling through it gives you a great appreciation.

[@jfrancis]

Good to see you traveling again.

[@s.bruyere8496]

Thanks for the show. We also did ride the hebridean way a few days ago and we do undertand you fully when it comes to mixed pleasures of nice beaches under the sun and rainshowers at the same day.

[@maidbloke]

What a great video, well done both

[@VagabondTurtle]

What a vibe, love the energy guys :)

[@halfafiver8976]

Fantastic, just wish I had a Katie. Hopefully do this route in the near future, thanks for posting.

Now then lad. Great to see you back on a bike again. It's good to see that you've not lost your filming and editing skills. Plus, the narration and storytelling remain first class. JP

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

Thanks mate, that's very kind!

[@lostthenfound]

Amazing to see another cycling tour video Adam! You inspired my wife and I to upload our adventures just like yourself and we are so grateful for that. You guys look so happy and like you're having a great time! All the best out there! 🚴‍♀️🚴🏼‍♂️

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

That is awesome!

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

Thanks Ashley. Feeling very happy to be back on the bike and exercising my creativity. I needed this.

[@hughevans3932]

Excellent. That route has been on my bucket list for sometime. Watching you both has just reinforced my decision to cycle it next year.

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

I couldn't reccomend it enough.

What a trip. You make a good team. Take care, Al

[@graemeowen9109]

Great vlog, just found your channel and are currently going through all your back catalogue of video's. They are all so well made, very cinematic, brilliant music, funny and very professional comentry. What really comes across is probably the best part is the people you meet on the routes. I think it's so cool that our lives cross with other people, sometimes for only a short time but those memories can stay with you for a lifetime. We are just about to cycle the Way of the Roses which is so small compared to what you have done but suppose you have to start somewhere. Looking forward to watching more of your travels. Best wishes Graeme + Elaine🚲😀

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

Way of the roses will be fantastic. It goes right past where I live near Skipton. If you need a place to stay, you can find me on warmshowers.

[@graemeowen9109]

[@soloist777]

While being stuck on the couch last summer (down under) with a broken ankle, one of the few pleasures was reading Tamsin Calides' enthralling book 'I am an Island', which I recommend if you are captivated by the Hebrides. Thank you for your fun tour, the Hebridean Way is firmly on my bucket list now of must do bikepacking adventures around the world.

[@ChrisyC567]

Epic and Lovely... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@axelsaxles8462]

Loving this guys! It's great to see you both out and about! What a beautiful trip! Thanks for sharing. Adam, your hair looks glorious! You're a silver lion. 😂

Watching this one definitely makes me miss home. West coast of Scotland. I now live in the PNW of the United States. Next time I’m home I should attempt something like this! Cheers!

awesome video guys. Thank you. I'm travelling from my home in nz, and am going to do the hebridean way with a friend, by bike. I'll take my rain gear. tee hee. Kiaora.

[@PedalPushinAK]

Good to see the wheels turning again! We just got done with an 18 day streak of daily rain … “I don’t like the rain” either. Rode the Denali Highway this summer … you need to come back and give it a go.

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

That sounds grim. I saw one of your Denali Highway videos. It looked amazing. I hope you and the family are keeping well.

[@davidahugill9614]

Hi Adam & Katie , well done ! Did Lewis to BARRA a few years ago against the wind (wrong ) , then Coll & Tiree , a few years later. Hope to do your trip this year going north to Lewis then the Stornaway ferry. Love your backing music.....cheers ,DaveH

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

Great name David!

[@daveadriffield7296]

Great to have you back on the road Adam. Katie seems fabulous, perfect to travel with. Place just like Shetland but for soft southerners.

I don't think so.

Thank you. These were the first ferry rides I’ve done since loosing my last drone. Quite amazed I managed to finish the journey with the drone.

[@valmirbrunharimicao7850]

Awesome ✌️

Nice film, I plan to cycle the full GB coastline this year, think you just convinced me to include the islands too, and to get a gopro to capture the beauty. Can I borrow a Katie 😉

Good luck with the journey. If I spare Katie’s, wouldn’t the world be a better place 😆

[@welshpaddler]

welcome back.

[@jamespalamarchuk648]

Nice to see you back at it. I heard you can get really nice drone shots while on the ferry.... ;) You are part of what inspired me to get into this and start my own. Also, where do you get your music? Cheers Adam.

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

I pay for a royalty free music subscription with epidemic sounds. Could have got some sweet drone shots on that ferry 😆

[@user-sn8bd3vd4f]

Nice one guys :)
