British Isles cycle touring documentary: We cycled 4,700km through the British Isles for a movie date at Britain's most remote cinema! Our goal: to cycle tour from Steyning, West Sussex, to the Schoolhouse Cinema on Out Skerries, in Shetland.
2023 Update: These cycle touring videos were filmed back in 2021. As of 2023 Jill and I are no longer together and Jill is not affiliated with this channel in any way. Wishing her all the best for the future!
In this episode, we cycle along the South coast of England, and bicycle tour through the New Forest. We began adjusting to cycle touring as a couple, and to life on the road, and were already appreciating the kindness of strangers. The adventure was just beginning; neither of us had tried cycle touring in the UK, and we had no idea what lay ahead as we rode our bikes through the British countryside en route to the Shetland Islands. Cycling the UK, Isle of Man, and Ireland would take us way off the beaten track, and we'd learn about our home country and it's neighbours through the people we'd meet along the way. And that would be the real adventure.
CONTEXT:
In 2021, Jill and I set off on an adventure; a long-distance bicycle tour from Sussex to Shetland. Cycling so far would take us over five months and show us sides of the UK and its neighbours that we’d never seen before. We were headed for a movie date at the most remote cinema in the UK, on Out Skerries in the Shetland islands, the northernmost reaches of the UK. The perfect spot for a date.
Catch a train, a ferry, or a plane there? No, we’d been indoors for far too long. Why not hop on our bikes for over 5 months of fresh air, and 4,700km of pedalling through every country on the British Isles instead?
Cycle touring as a couple was a first for us, and would take us through England, Wales, The Isle of Man, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, finishing on one of the most remote islands in the UK: Out Skerries, in Shetland.
