Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere in this or another thread (can't remember where I saw it, but it got into my "watch later" playlist somehow). I thought it was well shot and edited (particularly for a solo trip). He talks a lot about endless hike-a-bike and bog sections, though there's some shots of some pretty nice looking riding too - it would be interesting to know what the actually split between these was, since presumably a higher proportion of the good stuff made the cut. Looks like he's travelling pretty light given the conditions and filming. Also, much less annoying than your average North American narrator :grin:

It's not the end of the world I guess. In riding terms, there's not really any more restrictions, other than I couldn't theoretically go and ride with a mate (although if it was an "organised" ride I could :roll: ). It's not a great sacrifice in the grand scheme of things, just frustrating, particularly as we had friends visiting this weekend who won't be able to come now.

That was a longer film in the Banff Festival a few years ago. Great story.

Techno, thanks for the Bothy Life link! While she doesn't fancy dossing on the floor in a sleeping bag, Mrs Landslide could definitely see the attraction of holing up miles from anyone.

Long way up is on Apple TV :-bd

Really quite interesting (once you get past their electric charging anxieties...) watching this series.

Loved long way/down round by the two of them (did you know Ewan was in Star Wars...? :wink: )

Nearly laughed up a lung the first time I watched it, also goes by the UK title of ‘Grimsby’

moxie who stared in and made the film went on to create the 'Signal' app, like a more secure/nonfacebookowned version of whatsapp. signal's encryption method then got sold to whatsapp for an undisclosed amount. but im guessing he's no longer
