[@memybikeni9931]

Enjoying the trip, besides weather, you’re with friends, and out in the wilds. Can’t beat it,

[@grumpysprout3505]

Yes a private beach I can see you all running for the beds to put your towel on for later after breakfast 😮

[@Celtic-Silver-countryman]

What a varied life you lead.... keep it up

[@monstieb2122]

Sandy, thon burgers smell great, mmmmmm

[@scaff3450]

Great to see you on motorcycle again Sandy looks like a good trip thanks for sharing 👍

[@Richie65afc]

What a lovely journey and some brilliant footage of your trip. Shame about the rain though, but I suppose you expect it in this part of the world. Can't wait for part three.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Rich, Yes it rains a lot in Scotland apparently. Part 3 comes out later today:)

[@stephenrichardson8422]

enjoyed that, thanks for allowing us to join you guys on your adventure… 👍

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks for watching Stephen

[@NomadOverNormal]

This looks like a dream campsite...

[@greywolf9292]

Excellent videography and photography as usual Sandy, sorry the weather turned so nasty on you after a promising start. That's Scotland for you, it never likes to divulge all it's glory in on trip, keeps you coming back for more.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thats true enough Grey Wolf

[@adamnunn9723]

Your videos really are a joy to watch, Sandy… you’ve done a fantastic job of capturing the atmosphere and beauty of the place… stay safe, all of you, and looking forward to seeing the next one!

[@victormonster4658]

Great video Mr W. That old church looked stunning (what a spot to be in). If them old walls could talk! 👍👌

[@MiriamKennedy]

A lovely spot for a camp Sandy, I waved back from Ireland 🤩 No doubt those healthy burgers were very tasty!! Nice to see some graveyards from across the water too 🤗 Lord Dickie is a lucky man!!

[@WiltshireMan]

They were tasty Miriam but I'll have to eat healthy for a week to make up for them:)

[@glidezilla]

Thanks Sandy, so much more realistic than watching the crap on TV.

[@aynsleycooper365]

Sandy and crew - you chaps are keen, it has to be said. Awaiting part 3...

Thanks Anysley

[@chrissteer9215]

It was such a nice trip Chris despite the weather at times

[@tonypatey5669]

Yes, many miles to go before I seep. The weather might not be the greatest but what a ride , so close to the sea, gotta love it. If it wasn’t for these videos, I wouldn’t get to see the beautiful scenery, I find this fascinating. Thank you for this. Thanks for sharing. Tony.

Thanks for watching John, I hope to have part 3 up over the weekend

[@oldgittarist]

Great views Sandy, hope the tents hold up!

[@billcotton1551]

That sunset footage of Jura was epic Sandy! Here in the States ,there was a big news story about 3 months ago ,warning people about a Scottish land owner scam. Glad to see Dickie actually was able to find his plot.

[@iananderson1422]

Unfortunately for Dickie the scam wasn't that the land didn't exist but that it was trust land and couldn't be sold in the first place. The money he spent went straight to the scammers bank account.

[@DanOpdal]

Thank you for sharing your adventure! Wonderful video and photography, Sandy. Cheers!

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Dan, I hope to get out with the camera a bit more now the weather is improving

[@DanOpdal]

I remember visiting Campbeltown many years ago. A pretty wild area. Great video.

Thanks Harold, yes a wild area close to the windswept West coast

[@johnhorner769]

Can't beat a good mooch around really old graveyards Sandy, I always like to find the oldest legible stone.

Dickies a great singer

[@stevef8763]

Good vlog sandy, shame about the bad weather. I thoroughly enjoy Tim's playing during the intro, very relaxing, thanks. Stay safe and dry.

[@WiltshireMan]

He did very well I thought. Apparently he has only been playing a few weeks

[@oscartravis5740]

George Orwell wrote 1984 on the island of Jura. What a sunset and beautiful view to greet you in the morning. Had to laugh at Dickie's plot of land. Laird of McScrubland-in-the-Arse-End-of-Nowhere 😀Terrific adventure though, nice one guys

[@WiltshireMan]

Haaa I like Dickies title Oscar, very apt:) Yes I knew about George Orwell, someone else mentioned it in the comments too

[@silktvPDR1]

I love it up there absolutely beautiful place and great motorcycling especially across onto the Hebrides 😊

[@WiltshireMan]

The plan was to go to the outer Hebrides' but the others dicided against it. One day I shall go there

[@mitchellsteele3878]

Thank you Sandy for another look into your Scottish trip, lovely area to ride around the Mull of Kintyre, if you got the chance to get to the small village of Saddle after Campbeltown that was the beach that Wings and Paul McCartney sang the famous song, shame about the weather but hope you guys got through it ok, thanks again , Mitch

[@WiltshireMan]

I'd love to go back there when the weather is better and see more:)

[@InterceptorSC]

Enjoyed that I was planning going down Kintyre

[@pauljones5066]

that campsite looks magical

Hey Sandy! Think I saw you all from Co Antrim here. Great video.☘️

[@trig6712]

Again many many thanks Sandy hope WX improves

[@salan3]

I love following you on Google maps Looks a lovely place but suspect wild in winter!

[@john-wq8kf]

Had some great kayak trips around Jura then out to Islay wild camped all around but sad it was 1978 oh we bivied at Glengarisdale bothy ouch my first ticks in a sensitive place

[@TheRamblingsofBry]

Jura looks incredible across the blue sound. Nice trek to the Lords terra firma, passing some lovely old gnarly trees and a gloriously ancient graveyard too. Hopefully on part 3 you found a near, warm and dry pub to chill out in. Rain and gales always look nicer from a view behind a window!!!!!

[@WiltshireMan]

In part 3 Bry the weather is no better but gets worse still. It was a bit of an adventure. Scotland was still beautiful though

[@kevinbalfour]

Nice 1 man....im in Lochaber....enjoy your videos...your plants int garden will have doubled in size by time you get home...i love comig home to my garden after a trip

[@WiltshireMan]

Hi Kevin, yes there was a big change in the veg garden on my return. I shall do an update video on that soon

[@hendrikarqitekt6286]

beautiful, now i’m a bit jealous, think of coming over😂. Yes i know about that land. So it’s Lord Dickie.

[@campfire52]

Such an interesting adventure Sandy, the weather has been an absolute nightmare at times but you guys keep persisting right along. I guess a decision to go on or return to home will be the beginning of part 3. Either way that you choose, your journey has still been a success my friend. The time spent together with such great friends will be a treasure for certain. Congratulations to Dickie the Scottish land baron lol!!!! See you on the next one.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks for watching Terry. Scotland is a beautiful country with some very changeable weather:)

[@sarkybugger5009]

All hail Lord Dickie of Beard. Master of all he can reach from one spot. 😉 Nice to see the Scottish weather living up to expectations. All the best!

Scotland, in April, you can expect to get the occasional rain shower. 😂 Cheers 👍

Great stuff Sandy, a true spirit of adventure! Was it Billy Connelly who described the Scottish climate as "six months of bad weather, followed by the winter" :)

[@WiltshireMan]

Haa, he could be right

[@grantwebster8157]

My Grandfather was from the Isle of Skye he always said skye had 9 months of winter and three months of damn bad weather

[@allanmason7544]

nice one sandy

[@jimrowland6089]

Lord Dickies estate looked nice. Lots of interesting scenery. Hammering wind and rain could have held off a bit for your tour. Looking forward to seeing how it all works out. It wouldn't be an adventure if it was easy the whole way.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thats true enough Jim

[@joeschenk8400]

I really have enjoyed parts 1 and 2. The Sound of Jura looks spectacular. The rain on your tent brings back many memories of being stormed bound over the years. The memorial in Lockerbie was very touching, I remember it as if it were yesterday. I went back and watched the three videos and debrief from your walk here several years ago and enjoyed those too! Can't wait for part 3...hope you didn't get too drenched! You should ask your friend Dickie for a knighthood.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Joe, not sure Dickie is qualified to give knighthoods but he is a good chap.

[@marleymac370]

Campbeltown is my home town on the westcoast, there is a nice little shop in muasdale heading out of campbeltown towards Tarbert..

Thanks John, It was nice to get up to Scotland for a bit. Now I know why they call it Bonnie !

Oh I feel for you Sandy, theres nothing quite like preparing for a long bike journey, with wet everything. Take care on 2 wheels bud.

Thanks Ralph

[@barryconway]

Lord Dickie… Master of all he surveys! It’s about time we had a Lord Wiltshire, eh? Fine weather back here in real time and in The Shires. I imagine you might be out on Chug. We’ll see!

[@WiltshireMan]

Hi Barry, Chug is waiting patiently for the next adventure. As for me becoming a Lord, I doubt it will ever happen, I am born into serfdom and it's difficult to escape:)!

Come rain or shine Sandy it all makes for a great adventure, at some point in the future all of you will look back on this trip with fond memories, Scotland is such a beautiful place, stick with it as a couple of sunny days will make it an amazing trip. Ride safe. ps all this time i was thinking Dickie had lost the plot, turns out he's only gone and found it!

[@WiltshireMan]

Yes, Dickie did find his land in the end:)

[@mikehurley5052]

Been to Scotland several times, work related, tried it on the bike in 2019, got to north wales and the weather was total crap so turned back. Went to a campsite in Snowdonia and got sunburnt, it was great.

[@WiltshireMan]

The weather can be variable in the UK Mike

[@Trekon2]

What am adventure Sandy, great scenery but a shame about the inclement weather, if it gets any worse you could make a visit to Glasgow perhaps, anyway good luck with what ever you do and take care everyone.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Phillip, the weather did indeed become worse but we managed to get to Glen Coe

Great scenery and some nice photos. Coincidentally I own a square foot of land on Islay but I've never been there.

Jura has an interesting literary connection. In the 1940s George Orwell rented a house there and lived there off and on for a couple of years, and it was there that he wrote Nineteen Eighty-Four.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Malcolm I didn't know that

[@SteveSeadog]

If you want four seasons in one day, Scotland's the place to go! Hopefully, Laird Dickie is finalising plans for a distillery on his estate. 😁

Generally I think he is enjoying the bike, but it's quite heavy, and a little under powered. Also the centre stand and exhaust fell off, just bolts coming loose, but the worrying thing is it seems quite difficult to get the parts for these bikes at them moment!
