We also publish records of smaller trips taken around UK and Europe as well as some preparation work for the bigger adventures.
My partner Dori lives in BC Canada, we love spending the majority of our time here, so as well as undertaking motorcycling adventures in Europe. We will be publishing videos of this years trips to Scotland, the South Coast of England and D Day beaches in Normandy and a longer journey to Northern BC, Yukon and Alaska on our motorcycles, which include riding a new BMW 1250 registered here in Canada.
Enjoy.

Dori and Mark: The First Year Together
A photographic record of our first 12 months together, probably only of interest to friends and family. From South America to Canada, and then back and forth between our two homes in the UK and in Canada, we have had just the best year together.
We are looking forward to many more years adventuring together, of course health permitting.
Enjoy the video.

A short but enjoyable stay in Swanage, Dorset saw us visit Corfe and its famous castle travelling by Steam Train on a rather warm day. We enjoyed taking it easy on the beach and swimming in the sea, and of course, sampling the obligatory fish and chips. On leaving we rode along the south coast to Folkstone and the channel tunnel, where we took LeShuttle on the 35 min journey over to Calais. Onc...

Following our ferry from Prince Rupert Port Hardy we rode down Vancouver Island to Dori's family retreat on Denman Island via the short ferry at Buckley Bay. While here, the sun has been shining and the water, although not quite considered warm, has been ideal for a late afternoon dip. Leisurely visits each day to the local coffee and sandwich shop where we have whiled away an hour or two, foll...

A mid morning ferry from Haines to Skagway allowed us time to check into our hotel and make our way to the White Pass Railway station in town ready for our 4pm train up the White Pass. The vintage carriages and the fact they allow you to stand outside, between the carriages made it a really great experience as the scenery was truly magical, especially as the weather was warm with bright sunshin...

A magnificent ride from Haines Junction directly to Haines in the US, no bears or moose today, a few chipmunks had to suffice. However the scenery was once again breathtaking as we passed moutain after mountain still covered in snow. Haines was quiet so we took the opportunity to ride around before selecting a coffee shop, The Rusty Compass to enjoy a coffee and sandwich before locating our cen...

We leave Palmer after a two day stay in the great little Pioneer Lodge and make our way to Glenallen via the Matanuska Glacier. A night at the amazing Antlers Rest B and B then saw us riding over the US canadian border and back into Canada, staying at Ida's in Beaver Creek (we've had better).

We finally leave Dawson on a beautifully sunny day and ride along the Top of the World Highway, firstly arriving at the Alaskan/US border then onto Chicken. As we approached Chicken the dirt road got busier and busier and when we arrived we realised why, this weekend was the annual music festival held there, Chickenstock, the festival was over and everyone was starting to leave. The road onward...

A fews days riding in this video, some wildlife, a couple of bears, one a Grizzly we think and a rare spotting of the, Casual Canadian Beaver, so named by my delightful partner Dori as she watched the video for the first time, poking fun at my in video comments I might add, :-) Excellent weather , a few dodgy road surfaces, usually not filmed for fear of my life, superb company, excellent well ...

Your videos of passing vistas and rugged scenery make this very interesting. Your choice of music makes it spiritual. Thanks for this. Can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it.
Great ending for such a fantastic trip to see you so happy.
Ending, who mentioned ending, it’s only just started 😉
Hi Mark & Dori - This is Janet (Andy's wife) absolutely love the video and so happy for you both it was definitely meant to be! I can't believe you came to Yorkshire and didn't visit us !!!! xx
Don’t worry we have a cunning plan for when we get back to the U.K. in November you will not be ignored Dori has heard so much about you both as you are amazing friends and so she is keen to meet you.
Holy cow! Magnificent scenery and the choice of music is second to none. Zero talking but pictures of you and your group added for counterpoint. I’ve watch numerous Dalton Highway TH-cam videos. Some were quite good but this is the best! Well done folks.
Thanks so much I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Congratulations, nice video.
Hope we get a wedding invite.🥳
@@andrewvarga7452 well only 6 of us there but we can have a mini celebration when we see you both.
Looking forward to seeing you both in Ireland xx
🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Oooh bet you enjoyed crossing that big bridge😁😁are you heading up to the North East on your Mammoth tour, would be nice to see you both and we do have a spare room for the night.
We don’t have time this trip as we are rushing to Edinburgh for the tattoo. We arrive in the U.K. on the 8th and are there the same day. But we should have chance before we go back to Canada.
I saw Dawson City and we weren’t 40 km from Alaska.😊😊😊
I'm on the edge of my seat, can't get used to you riding on that side of the road!!!! Beautiful once again with a very photogenic wife.🥰
Quality guys , totally jealous, looking forward to seeing you both soon , safe travels to the uk xx
The view of the cliffs was amazing! My favorite part of this installment.
Well we are back home here in BC now for a week to catch up then back to U.K. for more medical appointments then off to the south of England to the armchair adventure festival and northern France to visit the DDay beaches. Should be fun before the autumn sets in.
thank you, have looked forward to your postings .
Thanks we really appreciate your encouraging comments
Привет, кажется я вас видел в Доусон Сити на 5 Авенью. Я сам в Доусоне живу уже 8,5 месяцев👋👋👋
That lava field was amazing!!
Where did you stay between Dawson and Tok? Trying to plan my trip for next year. Would be grateful for the help. Ride safe
We made the ride in one it was a short easy day on the top of the world highway from Dawson with a brief stop in Chicken
@@markanddori.hailwood thanks for the help. Enjoy the rest of your trip. I’ll be watching
You are so very, very, very lucky to have a wife that rides and will get out of the house and do these kind of things with you!!!!!!!!!!! Mine turned out to be a fraud!! Yep, married this thing and then the "true demon" came out!!!! Married twice, burned twice!!! Yes, you are so very lucky. God Bless
Greatly enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thanks for your comment, it’s greatly appreciated. Hope you enjoy some of the others.
I thought for sure that huge hammer was a bar were people get.... hammered! But alas I was wrong. I never get tired of seeing those mountains.
Great to see the adventure continues and how much you are both enjoying it. Thanks for sharing
enjoyed, thank you
Your videos just get better and better!
Hey I just opened up TH-cam and your video popped up. We met you guys briefly at the Northern Rockies Lodge on the ALCAN. We were driving home to Palmer. Loved the video! Cheers.
What a coincidence, glad you enjoyed our amateur video. We had two days recently in Palmer and loved it, especially the Musk Ox farm just out of town. Great views of the mountains too as the weather was amazing. Mark and Dori.
I enjoyed the commentary more of that please.
You two make a great team & an even better couple. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
This may be the best vidoe from this trip yet! Guess the train was louder than the band playing in the lobby on our trip. And I thought that was loud. And the moose! Great footage of the her and the little one.
Good vid, just as I remember it. My summer home most of the time.
Thanks appreciate your comment.
How far in advance did you book your hotels? Ride looks amazing. I'm also following a group of guys that left from NJ and are heading your way (Alaska). Oh, and another great song from the Cars movie!
Most Dori booked about two months ago. As it’s summer solstice best to book early. Some we have booked as we went along but not many.
The jealousy is eating at my soul.🤢
😂
Thank You
Those 2 bears were the same ones that were up my tree! Loving the trip.
Now we both know you might be fibbing just a little.
I agree I don't like to metal grade bridge surfaces. And the one you were on was rather long. Bike feels like it wonders all over the place. Thankfully there was no on coming traffic.
Epic scenery and fantastic weather hope it keeps up for you😎👍 (and we'll leave it there all this talk about seeing "beavers" in the outdoors!!😉😉
H ope you grabbed a couple of handfuls of bison fibre for me Mark as you passed! And you know why there's an electric fence at the hotsprings!!
I thought it best to keep my hands to myself, they looked like they would win if we had to wrestle. 😀😂
The scenery is spectacular.
4:58... I saw the moose! I've got to head out west to see one for myself.
enjoy your adventures summer
Excellent soundtrack, especially the song from the Cars movie. Love it. Scenery you're seeing is beautiful. I just love the mountains. Let me know if you see a moose. I've never seen one in the wild, but am keeping an eye out.
Not seen one yet, we saw three black bears yesterday on a lengthy off road section up to Barkerville, but no Moose as yet.
Ohhh I'm so jealous, you lucky people. I'm off to Romania in a few weeks. Transfagarasan.😀😀😀
Well you are always more than welcome in Canada. We will be coming to visit you and Jan at some time you need to meet Dori, so we can ride together.
I could smell the gorse in the sunshine, thank you!
at 6:12 when Legends of the Fall started playing, I nearly cried. So perfect.

Utah is my favorite state to travel through. I go from Montana to Arizona on my motorcycle several times a year and I always take highway 89. It is my favorite with all the twisties.
I have to say it was one of my favourites too. Done it a couple of times now and each time leaves me wanting to go again.
You certainly got the weather. 👍Nice ride.
Nice footage. When the weather is good , everything is better. 👌
Great to see you 2 riding the Western Isles especially as I’m riding around Shetland with my eldest son in 2 weeks time.
Well keep watching as next month we are off back up to northern BC and the Yukon as well as Alaska. The Adventures never end.
Have a great trip. I’m going to Romania before the Russians take it back?
Beautiful scenery guys. Great video, love the music. Keep safe and enjoy!! Xx
you need a bigger yak. get a double.
You two do the funnest things!
Dori certainly keeps surprising me and we are so enjoying life at the moment.
Great video! We are headed down to Moab, etc in May. If you dont mind me asking, where did you access the dirt road that lead to Moki? Thank you in advance....Kevin (Eastern Idaho)
We entered off 95 onto 261 which takes you down the Moki, then just after you reach the bottom take a left into Valley of the Gods, a fantastic dirt road which brings you out on 163. You can then ride toward Mexican Hat and Monument valley. From there you have choices on your direction.
@@markanddori.hailwood Thank you very much!
Whoever it was, who thought to use the Jurassic Park score against the Utah Back country landscape, that person is a genius! It worked so absolutely perfectly.
One does one’s best 😉
