The final leg - Poitiers to Brighton. Brighton, Bergen, Barcelona, Brighton complete! 🏁

In this episode I battle with record breaking high temperatures in France to cycle my last leg back to Brighton. I explore the cities of Poitiers, Chartres and Rouen.

I really enjoy your channel. Its lovely to see someone enjoying themselves despite challenges, you are always so calm and chilled. Blends so well with the breath taking backdrops and scenery. Great thank you for sharing your journey!

[@WestGoesEast]

Thanks Claire, that means a lot and thanks for taking the time to watch my videos.

[@michaelhorlock4920]

Congratulations Phil on completing an epic journey. So pleased you (and the bike) are safely home. Looking forward to your next adventure!

[@WestGoesEast]

Thank you Michael. Means a lot.

[@Gez-C]

Amazing work buddy, that’s such an adventure to go on! Have loved watching it, be great to know what your next adventure will be!

[@WestGoesEast]

Thanks Gez. I'm glad you've enjoyed it. Not sure what my next adventure will be but I'm sure it won't be long until the idea is planted.

[@TravellingTorunn]

Congratulations! What a fantastic trip! You should really have grabbed one of those medals 😄 💐That would have been well deserved. Enjoy normality for a while now, until your inner adventurer wants to explore new areas on the map 👍😀

[@philrwesty]

Thanks Torunn. Yes, I think I might put my feet up for a while.

[@MatHall]

Id say that was perhaps my fave episode, funniest too!! We went to Rouen last September, really enjoyed it too! That part in the lonely park too 🤣🤣 Will catch up on your others soon too. All the best, will shout if ever riding thru brighton with the wife and baby!

[@WestGoesEast]

Ah thanks. Yeah Rouen is great isn't it and so little talked about over here. Yeah, give me a shout if you head to Brighton!

[@JennyCruse]

As we say in Cornwall 'proper job' well done Phil. May the Adventurer in you never die that is what makes us humans special.

[@WestGoesEast]

Thank you :) I don't think the adventurer in me will ever die... Well I hope not.

[@ManicBeans]

so many interesting moments in this one! the deceased otter, the flies following your drone way up in the sky like it's the mothership fly, the playground, the difficult to judge dog, and wow, the organ player! great little series Phil, look forwards to your next. When you start to run out of European adventures you should make a mini-series doing the inca trail. Good work mate

[@WestGoesEast]

RIP otter. Thank you, really glad you enjoyed the series.

[@JC-qv8yo]

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Gonna miss catching up on your adventures of an evening. Look forward to the next trip!

[@WestGoesEast]

Thanks for watching.... Its appreciated

[@octaviobalthazar2278]

Great watch and very inspirational. The entertainment value to views ratio is way too low, hope it picks up pace for this truly hidden gem on youtube.

[@WestGoesEast]

Thanks so much. Really nice to receive messages like these!

[@EmmaSamways]

So so proud of you. This has been crazy but I have loved following along you nutter!

[@WestGoesEast]

Ah thanks Emma. Glad you have enjoyed it :)

[@TomJudson]

Congratulations, Phil! I sure did enjoy going on this trip with you. What a great adventure! Can’t wait to see what’s next on your agenda. Really excellent videos.

[@philrwesty]

Thanks Tom. I'm glad you enjoyed watching them. I'm sure there will be more in the future.

[@EmmaSamways]

If you did it again what would you change? I feel like we need a post cycle review.

[@WestGoesEast]

Maybe take less t-shirts but an extra pair of cycling shorts.

[@nicojs1182]

Congratulations Phil on your epic journey! It has been inspirational, informative and entertaining. We could have nearly met en route as I also cycled from Surrey to Newhaven, caught the ferry to Dieppe and cycled all the way to sunny Provence. I cycled through some same towns and cities like you. And also in June! I am so looking forward to seeing what your next adventure takes you. What an achievement!

[@WestGoesEast]

Ah no way? Shame we didn't cross paths. Do you have links to any pics and photos from your trip?

[@nicojs1182]

@@WestGoesEast No unfortunately not. I am not really on social media (defo not on KZbin) though I’ve got an Insta account where I posted some pics. Also more on Strava…

[@EmmaSamways]

What was your fav place you went to or thing you saw?

[@WestGoesEast]

Faroe Islands was incredible, cycling in the Wilderness in Norway, sketchy cliff road in Pyrenees, Underground church and Trolls were my highlights but there were so much more.

[@MatHall]

Ah man devastated thats all over. Can you just please go on a new one soon :D

[@WestGoesEast]

Haha.... Well im toying with the idea of doing Tarifa to Barcelona in October

[@Chris-Roberts]

Nice one Phill makes me want to get my finger out and do a similar trip 👏👏👏

[@philrwesty]

Thank you! Get on it the and start peddling :)

[@Chris-Roberts]

@@philrwesty love that 👏👏👏

[@ODOB]

Welcome home. What a great adventure. Where to next?

[@WestGoesEast]

Thank you. Well eventually I want to cycle from the bottom to the top of Europe. In stages.... So this trip was included in that.

[@CraigPitts]

What an epic adventure, well done mate

[@WestGoesEast]

Thank you! 🤙

[@corinamihailiuc]

Really enjoyed your journey

[@WestGoesEast]

Thanks for following :)

[@cryptokemonparkesy6770]

Wow! Nice one Phil! Congrats on finishing such an epic journey! What a wild ride! Thanks very much for sharing mate, has been great watching your adventure! Now the question is, where u gonna go next?! P.S. if i'd have had a million guesses as to "what that" was, a dead otter wouldn't have been one XD

[@WestGoesEast]

Glad you enjoyed watching mate. Well eventually I want to have cycle the height of Europe. This was a decent chunk of it. Ps. Ha, yeah you don't see too many dead otters, however it's actually the second I've seen.

[@youngmurphy7556]

Well done.

[@WestGoesEast]

Thank you!
