    Your videos always motivate me to get on the road again. This was EPIC! And then I remember it's easier to watch a TH-cam video than it is to make one! The 5 hours in Birmingham after the overnighter was where I felt your pain the most. Nothing against Birmingham, it's the hanging about when you're exhausted that is the real killer. Well done mate! And to everyone else, be sure to click the thumbs up, the man deserves it :)

    My memory of Thurso is that of an extremely friendly and helpful petrol station attendant. We were on a drive through Scotland and he asked us where we are going, and we told him "John O'Groats" and he said "You know that is NOT the most norherly point of the mainland, right?" And so we learned about Dunnet Head.

    Another marathon bus journey, Scott! Inspired by your London-to-Sofia trip video with Union Ivkoni, I've booked myself to do the same trip home (to northern Greece, via Sofia) in August after a visit to family in the UK. Now in my sixties, it'll be interesting to see how I hold up! I did the London-Thessaloniki and vice-versa trip by what was then known as Magic Bus and later became Eurolines, 62 hours each way seven times, when I was in my twenties, so I have set myself the challenge some forty years on. Just so you know, you and your brilliant channel are an inspiration...!!! 😊

    Had some excellent good luck (great ex-marine truck driver from Tain to Lesmahagow) and some rough luck (waiting ages at Indian Queens on the return leg as the zombie sleepiness kicked in), but overall hitching used to be really quick until it vanished.

    I lived in Caithness from 1992 until 2006. Eventually the lack of trees and the poor weather soured my experience and I moved to Dingwall near Inverness. Was back in Thurso last year and I was shocked at how run down the area had become, as Dounreay runs down and with Norfrost gone along with Caithness glass there is little left to keep the young in the North of Scotland. It’s very sad.

      Manson and Gunn are two of the clan names that are synonymous with the Caithness area.

    19:01 Of course it is going to start raining as you approach Scotland. I forgot about that. Catches me out every time.

    Great video. Many thanks. In the old days when I used to travel around the UK for work I made several long trips including to Sumburgh and the airport to put a sticky label on some equipment and then all the way back to Kent in one day starting at 4am in a car to Heathrow getting back there and across London for the last train home followed by my 3 mile walk to my front door.

    great effort Scott ....if its affordable .here is a challenge ...
    its a train one...
    you have to take the longest journey on EACH of the railway companies...
    no time limits you can do it over time ..
    or you can do it as a timed challenge

    Looks like you were in the front pub bit of the Admiral Benbow. If you go back, try and get a look at the back dining room. They don't always open it but it's heavily themed like the inside of on oldie worldy pirate ship. Quite a site. And defo tick St Michaels Mount off the bucket list 👍

    Hairs on the back of my neck bristling when you talked about scumbags robbing your seat. edit to add: 5hrs waiting in Birmingham. I used to regularly do Brighton to Newcastle and this sort of wait is why I started hitch hiking instead of taking coaches. Digbeth coach station was a nightmare back then the modern day version looks much nicer.

    I too was in Thurso in 1986. I hitch hiked from Lands End to John O'Groats then kept going onto Orkney. It wasn't quick, I stood at the side of some roads for a very long time.
