I've just watched this with my (7 year old) Daughter Iona saying that when she's older she we can go for a bike ride there! I was pointing to Emma saying that she could be like her when she's older and have much bigger adventures on the bike than we're currently doing!

[@Josh-Reid]

Glad you both enjoyed it. I hope Iona does find herself on adventures on the bike when she’s older and if she has any questions for Emma and I then she should get in touch.

[@iamsquicky]

@@Josh-Reid Cheers for that! She loves her adventures on the bike - her face last week when she smashed her "under her own steam" record by doing 20 miles. I "tag-along" her bike along ropey bits on our adventures but as her strength/endurance builds up, her adventures get bigger and she gets more annoyed at me when I do tag her up :)

Crikey! 45 years since I pedalled my Claud Butler pride & joy onto a ferry for a camping trip to the Outer Isles at Oban. What a stunning vid of lovely places. You totally ace drone footage and capture the joy of two-wheeled travel.

[@tomagapitos]

I still will never forget that Revolt managing to traverse halfway across the world….. well anyways, love this, Scotland looks a lot like New Zealand in summer and I cant wait to see where you go next!

[@solma1]

never stop making these videos please

[@Tigger4747]

You're very lucky to find someone who wants to share your rather gruelling adventures with you. Treat her with more respect!

[@tinman3728]

I just found this channel, watched your video from China to UK. Absolutely incredible. Your editing skills are amazing. Thanks for the awesome content 👏

[@liambarker6953]

You couldn't pronounce Oban any more if you tried :/

[@renjoh]

Wicked video, Josh! Looks absolutely beautiful!

[@calummacdonald1300]

Great video, thanks! I live very close to that gate you were having to go under/over at Dalkeith Park in the outskirts of Edinburgh. Gets me everytime! What's the song around the 11 minute mark? Great bit of editing that.

[@Josh-Reid]

[@davewatt8840]

@@Josh-Reid yes it's Stunning beach and looks across to Skye, water is crystal clear. I would think be a good ride from Fort William 😁😁

[@1947wdx]

I know this is an old video, but please don't add the music next time. The scenery is great, but I couldn't watch it too long because of the obnoxious musac...
