Becky, you have all of my admiration and respect for demonstrating the courage and fortitude to not only undertake this trip, but to put yourself "out there" for us. Your frankness in sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings show your true grit. Can I wish for a helmet cam to catch the water/terrain challenges? Always hopeful, Jerry 😅😮❤

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Absolutely brilliant, or should I say RESILIENT! Take a bow lady. Really well filmed in tough conditions. A real role model for today’s youth! 👏👏

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you so so much! I hope you guys are well 😊🙏

[@Luigi13]

I wonder how the parents feel? Would be nice to hear their point of view. It is always easy to respond to a person online who films it and you know, there are also those who went silent afterwards it was a tragedy. But we all like to hear of tragic events and how we all came through!

[@manjunathmnm]

​@@GirlOutdoorsLooks so similar to Kazakhstan.. which is more big than Iceland..

[@iddet8867]

I am a 70-year-old Icelander, and I enjoyed traveling with you and seeing my country through your eyes. I walked my first and only highland trip this summer, the so-called Laugavegur trail, from Landmannalaugar to Þórsmörk. It was a challenge for an old man, but I turned out to be in fine shape. Thanks for this great video.

[@phild6124]

Becky, you are a truly gifted adventurer, cinematographer, and human being. I hope you take us along on many more of your adventures.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw thank you so so much 😊

[@LuLuBeeBah]

All I can say is wow. You are an incredibly strong woman, both mentally and physically, to be able to achieve what you've done. I am blown away by your courage, your fearlessness and your tenacity. Best of luck in all you do.

[@ChloeRoseHarrison]

Can I just say the biggest thank you to you - I cannot explain how inspiring and empowering it is for me to see another woman around my age doing such bold and epic adventures, and just living her life how she wants. You make me feel as if I can have the same level of adventure if I just keep working at building up my experience, and I would never have even entertained that without watching your videos over the years. This one has inspired me most of all. You kicked absolute ass. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you so so much for this comment Chloe! It has really made my day 🥰 I wish you all the best!!

[@dawn_postureworks]

Iceland truly is a beautiful metaphor for life! After lock down I felt an incredible desire to escape and hired a camper to travel around Iceland on my own. I cried with joy as soon as I arrived and cried at having to leave. What I love about your video is how well you reflected how much Iceland takes a grip of your heart. Beautiful place and lovely people. This is by far your best video for me.

[@Pete-r5j]

I can only think of one word and that is WOW! your one hell of a tough woman to complete what you set out to do. Incredible

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you!!

[@mikebarratt3318]

Battered by the eliments, enduring suffering, wondering if you can make it out in one bit ballenced with the beauty and power of the land, the growing confidence in your ability to adapt and cope, the new experiences and life lessons learnt......bravo......nothing ventured nothing gained. The very esence of life itself x​@@GirlOutdoors

[@cruachan1191]

Well done Becky, great achievement! I love that you always leave your mistakes and failures in and don't gloss over how hard and how dangerous some of these trips can be, along with the high points.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much ! Appreciate it :)

[@joshlarue2838]

Iceland is a dream bikepacking trip for me! Loved watching you endure what mother nature threw at you. Great job!

[@phtumshk]

I too have traversed the length of iceland but i had to leave my bike outside chained to the trolley shed. A truly magical adventure vid, nice one!

As humans we are so so lucky to be able to see the world no matter where we walk. This was one of the best views of your journey across Iceland 🇮🇸 Becky. Your resilience, your determination and your way of showing us a beautiful adventure. Thank you. And well done. ❤

[@nrgltwrkr2225]

Wow! That was BRUTAL! You are RESILIENT, STOLID, AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL! I cried with you!! I have only pushed myself physically that hard just once, but I felt just like that at the end of the journey. Emotional, grateful, exhausted beyond belief, many lessons learned about the power and beauty of mother nature, surprised by myself and what I had previously thought my limits were up until that point in my life.These journeys change us forever. I am so proud of you!!! 💞

[@Ian-cp3fj]

You have no idea how brave you are...i had 30 years in the forces and id think twice about doing this trip ....much love and respect to you ❤

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you so much Kevin!! :)

[@jjrussell_gallery]

Congrats on completing the journey 💪 those memories will last a lifetime

[@friskywildthing]

Iceland is so beautiful and daunting! That'd be a hard ride by motorcycle, on a bicycle-that's insane! My hat's off to you, baby girl. That kind of journey takes stones-BIG stones. Glad you made it back safe. I love your cinematography. I think most people can't appreciate how much work goes into making something like this. 🥰👍❤💯

[@joeclow6563]

Great film Completing something like that and capturing it on film too, your a real grafter. I've been watching your stuff for a while now and it's great to see you grow. It's very inspiring

Thank you Joe! All the best :)

Becky, I can’t believe how far you’ve come in such a short space of time, I’ve loved watching all of your adventures, I have 3 daughters and I’m sure your dad is as proud of you as I am of them. Keep bringing us these lovely adventures, you have thousands of us behind you all of the way ❤️❤️ Cheers 🍺🍺🍺 Tony

WoW! What a very touching and cathartic summary -- Thank you!

[@DavidMartin-gx8yl]

Thank you Becky for sharing that rollercoaster journey of emotions and physical endurance. Once again your courage was amazing this gave you the confidence and strength mentally and physically to achieve such a challenging trip. I’ve said this before to you but You really are an inspiration to me and many others to get outdoors more and appreciate the nature and beauty of this place we call earth.You will always remember challenging times like these where you had to look deep inside yourself to push yourself forward to achieve great success. You will never forget the pride,satisfaction and determination that comes with pushing yourself to explore your dreams,aspirations to overcome any barriers. Well done. 😊👍

Wow, absolutely amazing trip! I have no words to describe this journey; it's overwhelming. You are a resilient adventurer. I'm losing my mind just thinking about the weather there, especially the sandstorms; it must be so hard to withstand. But you are an incredibly talented, humble young lady. Much love and respect! ❤

[@joeboyd4726]

You are amazing young woman. Brave and very determined. Funny,😊 everything you do and you say a six hour bus ride really takes it out of you! I’m a 73 yo man and I wish I had half of your courage and drive! Keep the videos coming.

[@artietheadventurebus]

Wow, what an adventure of a lifetime! You are truly an inspiring young woman, so brave, resilient and determined. Thank you for sharing all the ups and downs. As a 50 yr old living in my campervan, its made me think about what i could challenge myself to do next year.

[@jacquilebreton5769]

Well done you. I’m very impressed, taking on a challenge like that on your own. Awe inspiring.

What a video, such an epic journey. The physical and mental challenge of it is incredible, as well as the isolation in such desolate landscapes. It reminds me of ‘long way round’!

Like a long way round but without the film and support crew!

Haha that’s a compliment- love the long way round! 🙌

I can only have respect for what you achieved. You will carry this experience with you for the rest of your life. Iceland is an inspiring and addictive place on earth, whatever route you take.. It won't surprise me if you go back.

Praises are great and encouraging helps, but if people keep doing it over and over many will attempt to get the attention and see that it creates a bigger audience. I don't buy this mentality sorry?

You are awesome! ;) Thank you for showing us your journey and the amazing grit to get it done. But just as important thanks for showing us the inner journey, how to be in the moment and respect the power of nature. Those hard times you must put your head down and push through, but after to make sure you stop to raise it up, take it in and be grateful. As my English friend used to say... " let's get on with it!"

[@nicdhunter7652]

This has been something that I’ve wanted to do for years, but can’t find anyone that would come with me. Watching this has changed my mind. I’ll go by myself! This was an awesome video. Congratulations on your achievement. 😊

[@grahamecarter]

Tough watch Becky. You are a true inspiration to so many. Again and again you step up and raise the bar of your integrity, courage and determination. From the woods doing your DoE to crossing a country from the top to bottom for the second time now. Let's keep this adventure going, where next? ❤

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you!!

I hitch-hiked to Landmanalaugur and hiked 6 days to the south coast. Thanks so much for creating the video. Well done. I understand how difficult it is. 🤗

I've been following your channel since you left school. I think you're totally amazing. This is not only your biggest challenge, but in my opinion your best video yet. Big respect Becks.

[@nickuk911]

Well done, so jealous of this kind of trip i wish i had the drive to do something so magical. Yes cycling with the wind against you is tough i do a lot of cycling nothing worst than headwind but that looked like something else!

[@knisbet1984]

Awesome video, Becky, and congratulations on your achievement! I did the Iceland Divide, also N-S, with two other friends a month after you did it. Seeing some of the locations that you filmed from was like seeing some old friends. We also battled wind and rain almost every day, got caught in a bad storm and took some damage to our tents when we did a safety stop in the middle of the Highlands. We also went to Landmannalaugar and spent at least two hours in there ourselves (but not before dropping some serious kroner on snacks and beer at the Mountain Mall!) We were dealing with bad weather so we ultimately decided to end our trip in Hvollsolur instead of Vik as we would have been dealing with 50+ mph wind gusts on the Ring Road, which would have been extremely sketchy. Again, kudos to you for committing to this extremely difficult adventure and documenting it so wonderfully!

[@chrisswain5633]

Well done Becky, if my daughter wanted to do this, I would be so worried, but proud of her. When she did it and let me know she was happy and safe. Then I’d sleep. 😊

[@benarrowsmith1213]

Thank you Ben, that’s very sweet! 😊

[@KatStew-j4p]

Really enjoyed this! I visited Iceland 30 years ago and found it so, so special. A year later I bought myself a proper bike and a tent and cycled solo from the Netherlands to Norway. I was your age then. Your description of the freedom and simplicity brought back all the memories. Go, girl, go! We only have this one opportunity to live life! Thanks you for all the extra work to record it on film ❤

[@finnKED]

Wow!!! What an amazing adventure you experienced. Your filming was just as amazing and your determination to push through such challenging circumstances is above none. Congratulations!!!

Spectacular achievement! And I see this video as a beautiful work of art. I see you as gifted at being aware of your experience and perceptions, and their implications to the bigger picture of where we are as humans, and then you have the ability to clearly articulate your thoughts and awareness! No surprise you are having the success you are having on KZbin! Thank you! I appreciate you!

Becky I have said this before, but I will repeat it once again, you have wisdom beyond your years and this is attributed to following your heart, traveling, exploring, and discovering your genuine self. Thank you for the inspiration. I am 67 years young and I travel full time, not as rigorous as yourself, but I understand the joy that that exploration brings. Keep on doing what you do!

[@richardingham3175]

Absolutely brilliant - you are so brave! In 2017 I bikepacked south - north from Hella to Akureyri - a slightly more direct route than yours. Your video helped me to realise how lucky I was with the weather - T-shirt warm days and a gentle southerly breeze pushed me along the gravel roads almost every day. I'm looking forward to your next adventure!

[@josverschuur779]
