At 5.30, the gentleman that crashed, your concern that he's not only physically okay, that 'psychologically' he's able to continue on...❤

Even in the rain Scotland is beautiful.

[reinmansmith]

The West Coast of Scotland is the most beautiful place come rain or shine….. your filming captures it perfectly 😊

[mikerider]

Absolutely beautiful, it's exactly the same in Ireland, the sun comes out for a week or two then Rain, Rain and more Rain 🌧

[michaelhutton]

Well that's Scotland for you. When its damp, it's very wet. When its beautiful, its absolutely stunning.

[Dombennezon]

Such a shame it wasn’t a week earlier. It’s been stunning for weeks in Scotland. When you said you were coming to Scotland I was hoping it would last. Such a shame you didn’t get it see it in the full sun. Hope you enjoyed either way. 👍 thanks for coming.

I did a 5000 mile tour of Europe in 2005 and had that much rain I couldn’t believe it especially in the mountains. What it did was to make me a much more confident rain rider. I actually really enjoyed it and was able to lean like I did in the dry with complete confidence. Something I have lost again. I actually quite like the rain and being at one with the elements. Beautiful thankyu

Wishing this guy all the success in the world. Works hard at his craft. X

Thank you Freddie from Seattle. So beautiful. Isle of Skye by bike is now on my bucket list!

[SQTierHog]

Just finished a long day of gardening, just ate, just got this notification!
Here we go, day 2!
Thank you Freddie and your amazing gal, Monika.

Amazing production. I wrap my head around the logistics of filming, by yourself, while riding.... insane! I recently tried my hand on a 15 second video. And that took over 2 hours to complete from start to finish. Much respect!

[skynyrdd]

I hope the American rider is okay and makes a speedy recovery. So glad the weather brightened up, Skye is beautiful as is the whole of the west coast, I see this kind of scenery daily as I live on Isle of Lewis. It’s a little piece of paradise, really enjoying your vlogs and your way with words is poetic….and yes we Scot’s have a great sense of humour but dry unlike the weather the majority of the time. Safe travels.

[philipphan]

This is what adventure is all about, the highs and the lows and making the best out of it all! Brilliant video!

[godewyn]

Enjoying seeing these riding journeys, and excellent selection of music

[BrokenHill]

Beautiful countryside. Britain is so beautiful. From Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands.

[rorymcfeely]

Freddie I lived in Scotland last year, and am moving back again in September to start a PhD. These videos have been reminding me of how absolutely amazing this country is, and how excited I am to get back over (even if the weather is temperamental to say the least). Keep up the incredible work. Amazing to see how much your channel is growing. Absolutely deserved.

Ahhh, The Cowshed Boutique Hostel in Uig, Skye. My happy place. A great place to stay and a lovely common room/ lounge area. I regularly ride there from Glasgow for a night and ride back the next day. Dinner and a few beers at The Ferry Inn just down the road, perfection.

[donsarrica]

I have been watching your videos for close to 2 yrs now. This is by far the best you have done so far!! BEAUTIFUL!

[georgetbernard]

Au début du crachin, on y voit rien ! Et puis après quelques ferrys, le temps s'éclaircit ! Et bim, une claque dans la rétine ! Joli le pays du whisky ! Merci Freddie !

[biker_dale]

What's Scotland without a bit of rain, it just adds to the beauty and without it Scotland wouldn't be as green. I do love the roads in Scotland and your vidoe shows them off beautifully. Hope the American is OK 👍
