    After lots of requests I've now opened a "Buy Me A Coffee" page
    buymeacoffee.com/countryhousegent (I wanted a "Buy Me A Pork Pie" page, but the option wasn't there 🙂) Many thanks to you all,

    Wow!! Absolutely cracking first video Kevin, thank you. Thats the best half an hour of telly we've had in ages. Stunning scenery but like you said, there are few words to describe the beauty in reality. So chuffed for you that you finally got to do this trip. Must add, you couldn't cram much more onto your bike, i would put my back out trying to throw my leg over the seat inbetween all that gear. Thanks again Kevin. This season of CHG looks to be something special, then again, they always are. All the best Kevin, Floss & Jan.

    Eeeeek! Did you say we are going 60 MPH? This is the most fun I've had in a long time. I'm a lady on the down side of 70 , enjoying the ride from my rocking chair. I also enjoy seeing you and Aslyn.😊❤😂

    It's been many years since I lived in Scotland, and your video brought it all back with tears in my eyes. I'm excited to see places I wasn't able to visit, especially Shetland. Thank you for taking us along with you.

    Reason for the 20 mph is so people will do 30.

    Have a great time, I know I am.

    Kevin, I am in complete awe of your beautiful documentary-but-more! Scotland is absolutely exquisite. I envy you absorbing this wonder all around you, and I am so grateful a small-town South Carolina, USA, person can see such a wonder with a good friend, not in a boring documentary. Cheers, my Friend! Can barely wait for the next edition!

    Didn't realize how much I've missed your videos until this episode. Your videos are very relaxing and bring me a feeling of peace with all the beautiful scenery and your calming voice and narrative.
    The last time I drove around the English countryside, I had to use a road atlas. I always got to where I wanted to go, but GPS is a beautiful thing compared to the old-fashioned way.

    • @CountryHouseGent
      @CountryHouseGent  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hi Kevin, really enjoyed the vid. It did take me back to the 1970's when myself and three friends did a tour very similar to yours, but back then no sat nav and many numb bums!, our bikes were Triumphs, Enfields, and Honda's. Never forgotten it, and yes we did get lost several times but all part of the fun, take care.

    Beautiful scenery! I've only ever ridden on the back of a motorcycle, short distances, so I can't imagine what it's like to travel that way. I think my concern would be traveling in bad weather. At least in a vehicle you've got shelter. But when the weather is fine, it must be marvelous! Very much like the opening music, nice and bluesy. Reminds me of the Allman Brothers. And certainly "Midnight Rider" fits here fairly well 😁 🎶.

    Brilliant. Not jealous at all….honest. People that have never been on a bike don’t realise how different it is to being in a car. Instead of looking at hedges and walls in the countryside,you are looking over them at the spectacular views. Loving it.

  • @MarkTheStoreman
    @MarkTheStoreman 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2
