Charlie Wow i was lost for words this chapter was brilliant , your drone footage was awesome , after showing my Mrs this episode she said why don't you get another bike & WE can do this , so thank you again for taking us with you & please take care & ride safe , till the next time

[@restdayrider]

That's absolutely awesome! I do hope you'll listen to your Mrs !!!!! 😍

[@robb9488]

I agree with others Charlie, you've become an accomplished vlogger in such a short time. I remember your early video's well when you travelled to Scotland and now this video. Love the drone work and the editing and the descriptions you add.

[@restdayrider]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the channel. 😊

[@henryhartley9993]

Morning Charlie, I've travelled the very same roads and like you said it is truly beautiful, I think this is your finest vlog so far. The videography in this episode is superb .....

[@restdayrider]

Thank you 😊

[@steveray8056]

WOW!!! What scenery. Beautiful ride.

[@alanrogers8535]

Oh wowww...

[@davidoakley3074]

Worrow. Brilliant video. Only had two midge bites. The WOW road from Ullapool was bostin. 😎❤️

[@johngarrity7777]

Excellent! Thanks for making / sharing! 👍🏍🏍👍

[@restdayrider]

My pleasure! 😊

[@rabwilson-uu2vp]

Hi Charlie, the quality of your footage and overall presentation is outstanding and deserves 10/10.

[@restdayrider]

Thank you so much 😊

[@wingandhog]

Simply breathtaking. No other words to describe. Thanks for taking us on the ride.

[@restdayrider]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@detch5307]

Thank you Sooooo Much for filming this. INCREDIBLE! Now you are a proper Highlander. I knew Scotland was rugged, rainy, and windswept...but I never knew it was this beautiful. That music at 2:15 was an emotional expression of the beauty captured by the drone. This was right out of the Lord of the Rings. Talk about bucket list! I was just salivating over those roads you were traveling. And of course, you were on the perfect motorcycle for those roads.

[@restdayrider]

Am so glad you enjoyed it, I do try and capture how it makes me feel while riding it with the music and the footage so I'm glad it came across. 😊

[@rickhjortsberg2711]

As a Yank in the Mid West USA I found this journey to be absolutely stunning. I had no idea Scotland was so beautiful. The RE Himalayan seems well suited to the wiggly roads as well. I see why you bought this motors. Your tale is a true travelogue. Indeed this is on my bucket list for sure. Keep up your sensational work. I’m hooked.

[@restdayrider]

Thank you! Glad I'm able to share some views that some may not get to see. 😊

[@markhinde6187]

Great Adventure, great post, great admin, looking forward to the next one

[@restdayrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. 😊

absolutely stunning Charlie.

[@lyndapayne6716]

Superb Charlie, so good I watched twice 👌

[@restdayrider]

Thank you!

[@jrnmller1551]

Charlie, I get this feeling off a British fairytale, the Queen and her knight, the knight brewing tea and servicing her bike,stopping when the queen want to photoshoot!!!! Sorry just teasing nice video and perfect roads for the RE, thanks!

[@restdayrider]

Hahahaha I'm pretty sure Geff would have told me where to go if I'd tried that!

[@Jules750..]

A another enjoyable and entertaining vlog ❤❤

Breathtaking scenery. Well done Charlie. The epicness continues.

[@rockclima]

Scotland has always been a special place in my Heart from passing my driving test in 1981 and wanted to go in a Land Rover it's always been a dream but I'm 60 now, got a Himalayan and planning this trip for 2024, having been to Nairn and no further it's the last day of the year. Happy New Year

[@garryexley6002]

Absolutely on my list, actually doing it in a couple of weeks, but in the Campervan. A definite to do on a motorcycle though very soon, just deciding on what, Himmy or Bonnerville, such beautiful roads.... ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌🏻

[@macmackay8579]

What's great is that nothing has changed from when we used to holiday up there in the 60s, with Dad driving us on these epic adventures. However, what you provide is the epic landscape's magnificence with your wonderful drone footage accompanied by some excellent ambient music - thank you.

[@restdayrider]

Thank you, I'm still learning the drone. 😊

[@macmackay8579]

@@restdayrider well, you’re doing a great job. I look forward to many more.

[@juliandone15]

I do like the way Roger chugs up those hills…… Fantastic scenery. Evil midges. Mother (82) has just returned from a trip to Scotland in her campervan. Little sis took it to the Hebrides in July

[@restdayrider]

He is a chugger!

[@Petehcs100]

Thanks for the video and filming, enjoying every bit.

[@restdayrider]

Glad to hear it! 😊

[@larry3363]

Best road scenes ever.

[@restdayrider]

Thank you. 😊

[@williamnethercott4364]

That was hypnotic! It reminded me of a trip I made to the Canadian Rockies, when every turn in the road revealed a new, breathtaking view.

[@restdayrider]

It sounds just like that! 😊

[@williamnethercott4364]

Wonderful!

[@tigerplumber]

It’s been so long since I rode a bike around Scotland, I would love to do the NC 500, midgies and all. Cracking video as usual. ❤️❤️

[@restdayrider]

Thank you. 😊

[@IainOConnorMotorcycles]

As many others comment, wonderful episode. Drone footage superb😮

[@restdayrider]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@Z1000Terry]

Great video Scotland is amazing and that is a fantastic section of road, I remember flossies well from when I was there. Really enjoyed that video thanks Charlie 👍

[@restdayrider]

Thank you 😊

[@goingwildagain]

Its a great road. Clachtol beach was amazing place. I managed 1800 mile round trip my son 2100. Awesome times

[@IndyPatriot]

Sooooo pretty 😍……..and so is the scenery!

[@restdayrider]

Hahaha! Thank you!

[@IndyPatriot]

@@restdayrider My pleasure! 🌹

[@Rick-ow6hx]

Thanks Charlie that's your best video so far

[@restdayrider]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@badger44]

excellent again!, love the drone work, having travelled some of these roads years ago you`ve given it a completely new perspective that you don`t get from the bike.👌👍👌

[@restdayrider]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@SerenaKaye]

🖤💚 such incredible scenery, Scotland has always been on my bucket list but I've never thought that area could be so breathtaking. I am loving your excursions and your drone footage is beautiful.

[@restdayrider]

Thank you very much 😊

[@nunnyd69]

Was at Clashnessie beach in June. Glorious hot weather and we were the only two on there. The sea was warm and turquoise and so clear you could’ve mistaken it for the Greek islands. Scotland never fails to amaze me

[@restdayrider]

It is stunning. 😊

[@britinthebasque2037]

That is some impressive drone camera work, nice one!!!

[@restdayrider]

Thanks a lot! 😊

[@sensesworkingovertime]

looks great im going!

[@restdayrider]

You should! 😊

[@charlessmillie8774]

Hi Charlie it's Charlie Done the 500 in 2018 in December over the Christmas period in my motor home with my bike on a trailer really enjoyed it thinking of doing it again with the gsa and a tent loving this series 😀

[@restdayrider]

Hi Charlie! Glad you are enjoying the series. 😊

[@sootycakes]

Love the music you put with the Drone shots

[@restdayrider]

Thank you 😊

[@edwardkaminsky8142]

Anticipation is making me wait! The drone capabilities are fantastic and your still shots will become treasured memories. Where are the trees Charlie? The sound of Roger is rhythmic glee!

[@Antony_Pt]

Wow great Video, always have beautiful introduction between videos and riding. Thank you for sharing your experience and journey. 🙏✌️😎 It's just like riding with yours in Scotland. 😁❤️

[@restdayrider]

Thank you! 😊

[@wavecreatures]

Brilliant film! I’m so excited, I set off for Inverness tomorrow.

[@restdayrider]

Have an amazing time! 😊

[@billcotton1551]

Drone footage on this one was off the charts Charlie! Beautiful!

[@restdayrider]

Thank you 😊

[@dewipeach]

Lazy, Leisurely route... Stunning and awesome, not 50 yards, a twist, turn, over a brow. Glad you'd filmed it all. I've not kept my eyes on the road... .. Watching at 12:00 before you turned round and just in drone footage, whitewashed Croft & grey slate roof, where you'd not expect a property. Location for anyone, it's not a quick trip to a supermarket. It's likely Fish or Mutton.! It would be a shame about the plans for the church. Good if it was something to benefit the locals. Cheers.

[@restdayrider]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@dewipeach]

Ewe did well, as did Geff, has he a vlog...!@@restdayrider

[@stuartsharpe5513]

Looks great I did it two years ago amazing had a great time also geff is a friend of my brother in Germany 😊

[@restdayrider]

Small world!

[@bevhenkie8520]

Again you deliver a great video along with fun commentary. The Scottish countryside does not disappoint. Must have been tough to keep your eyes on the road with all that amazing scenery. Definitely a bucket list ride but I would have to rent a bike there since it would be a small fortune to transport my bike. Looking forward to more adventures from you! As always ride safe!

[@restdayrider]

Thank you! Hiring a bike is definitely an option. 😊

[@yetiibob8407]

I see you stopped at Flossie's. That's next to Clachtoll beach campsite. Great site with good facilities. Neverending views on that stretch. 👍

[@restdayrider]

The beach did look stunning. 😊

[@fabianmcgale_9160]

The pic of Jeff at the end reminded me of the old line... 'when i told my friends i was taking my bike to Achmelvich, they said 'wear the fox hat?' ' 😁

[@restdayrider]

😂

[@theyorkbiker.8214]

It's certainly a beautiful ride.

[@rhysjones6069]

Lovely, the time and effort you put in to making these vlogs is very much appreciated, :)

[@restdayrider]

Glad you like them! 😊

[@davidbgraham461]

Still loving all of your vlogs. Just re-watched your visit to your brother, way back. One item l never leave at home is ear muffs,lcan usually sleep through rain. They are fairly 'low profile'but, very effective. Please don't stop what you are doing; ambo or biking. Love you for both !!

[@restdayrider]

Thank you! I drop in on big brother again this trip. 😊

[@JohnSmith-xw5qe]

Well what can i add to the well deserved comments already made Charlie? I can certainly add that in my opinion you have shown everyone around the world how Stunning the scenery is in Scotland & in such away that the big TV & other companies Couldn't! A Scottish Road Trip IS DEFINITELY A MUST DO FOR ME! I Also want to say how well Roger(Royal Enfield Himalayan)has handled the whole trip so far,What a brilliant workhorse you have there that bike is certainly well & truly at home up there! You've come a long way Charlie since you passed your test & ive loved every bit of your journey from the start of your vlogging,One of my Favourites on KZbin! Keep it up & safe riding👍👏👏😎

[@restdayrider]

Thank you very much John, I'm glad you're enjoying the channel and my fumbling progress! 😊

[@davidrobinson4118]

I did some of these roads on a Yamaha XTZ 660 a while back then a little later on a BMW R100RS. I stumbled across your channel as I am about to change bikes and have been watching loads of stuff about the Himalayan. I have been on a BMW R1200RT for ten years now. I love the bike, and in a way will be sorry to see it go, but I want something more suitable for small, steep, nadgery (is that a word!) roads. I know the little RE will not be able to blast up the motorway, but a steady 60 is fine by me. Great videos by the way, really enjoying them and they brought back some great memories. I'll be back up there soon while I'm still able, despite the dreaded midges!

[@restdayrider]

Nadgery is a perfect word! And the Himmy would be perfect! 😄

[@michael1061]

What can i say charlie ,except superb !

[@restdayrider]

Thank you 😊

[@carlton683]

Great trip Charlie absolutely brilliant views❤

[@janeharris9879]

Love all your videos, but this one has convinced me... no more watching the NC500! Planning to go with a friend next September. 😊

[@restdayrider]

Yay! Brilliant, you'll love it. 😊

[@stuartmacfarlane305]

Thank you for such a beautiful video, you have really nailed this vlog malarkey in such a short time, excellent work. I’m planning my bucket list trip to do a complete lap of Britain’s coastline and have been trying to decide which bike to use. Your adventures have shown me it would be a big mistake to do it on a heavy, big capacity tourer - you just don’t need one! So a ‘Roger’ is now high on my shortlist - thank you 👍

[@restdayrider]

That's great to hear. 😊

[@martynleyfield2941]

Oh and thanks for sharing it’s only been 3 months since me and my son did it for the second time and I still forget how truly amazing Scotland is ❤

Lovely episode Charlie. You’ve captured Scotland very well. Pretty much all of it is awesome.

[@restdayrider]

Thank you 😊

[@rlind6625]

Well, hello again Charlie, I whrote earlier about me didn't recognice the roads you were riding. I have seen some other riders on the NC500 and I must say it seems like you are more "into the country" if you know what I mean. You are not taking the easy roads. Keep the rubber down Charlie, I love it.

[@restdayrider]

Thank you! I definitely prefer the less trodden routes. 😊

[@handsfree1000]

I rode from Somerset to Scotland this in May. First time and I’ve always wanted to do it. My son organised it and we stayed in hostels so we had no midges problem. Not sure if I’ll get the opportunity to do it again but I have those memories and photos

[@restdayrider]

Memories are worth a lot. 😊

[@RoyBowes-u9e]

Great video Charlie, probably the best yet, and you have done some good ones, the drone footage was stunning, thanks for taking us along, I know how much work goes into making these videos, well done and thanks again, your a star ⭐️

[@pauldixon3089]

Hey Charlie, what a great leg of the journey. There's a beauty that is unique to places that some might call desolate, i think it's good for your soul to be away ( mostly) from the hustle and bustle of every day life and just enjoy a rugged landscape that has remained largely untouched. Every turn in the road brings new wonders and views to remember for ever. Can't wait to see the next thrilling instalment.🏍️🏍️😀

[@restdayrider]

Thank you Paul. 😊

[@johnanderson1276]

Another nice video. I cant believe you didn't stop at Durness though, for a coffee and a chocolate motorbike from cocoa mountain. Also the beach is stunning.

Thank you. 😊

[@drost582]

What lovely trip, spectacular scenery. Exactly what you think when you hear about UK villages. You are so very lucky to be riding over there! Thank you for showing. We don’t camp but I might buy one like yours only because it has a attached garage.

[@restdayrider]

It makes a huge difference! 😊

[@allanworthington4067]

I have watched several bike trips on the NC500, got to say Charlie this is by far the best one,I may have missed it but can you put a map, road numbers & camp locations/ addresses in a summary & any hindsight advice in your last vlog please 👍👍👍

[@restdayrider]

Hi, thank you! I will try and put and list up on the closing vlog. 😊

[@christophe6065]

Splendid road. If people, in the 50 years to come, are able to see this video, they will see that, in 2023, there was still a part of the World were road had not become motorways... Thank you for this video, which could be send to "National Geographic"...🙂

Thank you! 😊

[@doctorpc4x4]

From someone who lives on the other side of the world, that i one really looking good bike road

[@restdayrider]

It certainly is! 😊

[@rlind6625]

I have seen others driving NC500 but not this beutiful roads. Have you find some new ones? Really beutiful.

[@restdayrider]

I think it's all the same route, but I was very lucky with the weather and lack of traffic.

[@carrot1151]

Charlie glad your enjoying the NC500. Living in Scotland and having been migy bit more times than i can remember I have to say I am jealous with the way you can pack and load up in your tent.

[@restdayrider]

Made a huge difference!

[@suerichards264]

Wow, amazing scenery, I have just done Northumberland 250 and Yorkshire Moors and I thought that was stunning. I did pop over the border a few times. Going to have to go to Scotland next year, although I shall get my saddle sorted before then, saddlesore! Your blogs just get better😊

[@pauldoyle9709]

Brilliant Charlie. Easily THE BEST NC500 vid on KZbin by far. I love some of your terminology too - “peat mining” and….. “I wanted to stop there to get some drone footage of The Wiggly” 😁, please take that as a friendly compliment. Eagerly awaiting the next instalment.

[@restdayrider]

Hahahhaa I leave in my idiosyncrasies as they're just, well me! 😂

[@MrPerry61]

The purple vegetation? Is that Heather? Thinking back to the film Highlander when Connor MacLeod talks about the highlands

[@restdayrider]

It sure is! Great movie btw!

[@kevinmiller763]

Loving the drone footage how about a video of what drone you use and how you get on with it,

[@restdayrider]

Great idea.

[@davidhead9689]

Another lovely vid Charlie. The Drumbeg part is spectacular. I did it 2 yeas ago in the opposite direction. Good drone work. Will it go higher for a more over all view.

[@restdayrider]

I am just learning with the drone, I will get braver! 😊

[@LizAndRichGo]

Another great video, we stayed at the Tongue campsite last week. You took the sensible side, we camped in the bit across the road with all the midges lol

[@restdayrider]

Oh No!!!! 🫣

[@richardcooper5726]

Stunning scenery again, looks even better from the drone, well worth spending time filming this bit of the NC500. I did the NC500 two years ago in my small campervan, I reckon the Drumbeg loop after Achmelvich is better scenery than the Bealach na Ba, and as challenging to drive or ride, shall we have a straw poll? Stopped at both Achmelvich and Tongue, so I'm waiting for the next video to see whether it will be 3rd time lucky with your next stop.

[@restdayrider]

It is beautiful there. 😊
