First time riding on the continent today! At Dover waiting for our ferry. #motosky

If it’s a choice between cheap energy and a sustainable future, I’m choosing the latter. Anything else is unpatriotic and verging on treason. And that is exactly how Kemi Badenough should be seen. A treasonous, unpatriotic, self serving cunt.

I need to get a handle on my self confidence and self worth because right now, the lack of it is ruining my life. But I just can’t seem to be able to give myself a break.

Just saw a pair of common buzzards (Buteo buteo) talon-grappling and soaring together. What a beautiful sight!

Day 21: It's all come down to this. After 2,500 miles and 21 days motorcycle camping around Scotland (and beyond), I end things on a high by climbing Scafell Pike, England's tallest peak. #motosky #scafellpike #lakedistrict #hike #hiking www.youtube.com/watch?v=JetE...

Out on the volcaniclastic tuffs of Charnwood Forest/Charnwood Geopark today! I feel so blessed to live in a place with such a rich geological history. #geology #deeptime #charnwoodforest #charnwoodgeopark

New video is doing really well which I’m super happy about! But I’m not really able to convert new viewers into subscribers. On this video average view duration is way down. Wish I knew what I was doing wrong :(

Have I just successfully identified my first rock specimen?

My hand lens arrived :D

Day 20 is up! I set out for the legendary Hardknott Pass (via Honister) and instead found myself in a garage with a screw in my tyre. Still, the Lake District has a way of turning things around... #motosky #MotorcycleTravel #LakeDistrict #AdventureMotorcycling www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bl-...

So close to the end of the series now. 2 more episodes to go. Once done, it’ll be one the biggest projects I’ve ever started and actually completed.

Day 19: Fled midges in Scotland, saw a swooping Red Kite, then crossed into England & rode to the Lake District for a woodland walk. Ended the day scouting trails toward Scafell Pike! #MotoSky #LakeDistrict #MotorcycleTravel #MotoCamping #AdventureTravel www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VVG...

Flights booked for next year’s Solar Eclipse in Iceland :D

Day 18 of my Scotland moto-camping trip! ✅ Dropped the bike (oops) ✅ Fixed it roadside ✅ Rode the legendary Raiders Road ✅ Watched a lizard eat a caterpillar 🦎 Drama, dirt tracks & wild encounters — this day had it all. #motosky #MotorbikeAdventure #Scotland youtu.be/88Y58kKagnE

Day 17! From the rainy roads of Islay to the shores of Loch Lomond and onto Scotland’s most famous hike, the West Highland Way. Also featuring me making a complete fool of myself boarding the ferry 😂 #Motosky #Scotland #MotorcycleTravel #WestHighlandWay #LochLomond www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTps...

Haven’t ridden in like, over a week I think. Getting itchy. Hope the weather holds tomorrow!

Day 15/16! In this one we travel to Islay, following in the footsteps of Ron Swanson (Parks and Rec) and going to the Lagavulin distillery, and even recite some poetry while overlooking the ocean. #motosky #RonSwanson #islay #lagavulin #motorcycletouring #scotland youtu.be/MaEalj8Lg44?...

Day 14! Woke up in Glen Etive, rode some rough tracks into Scotland’s beaver country, then found a great spot to wild camp by the sea (sea shanty included). #motosky #Scotland #MotorcycleCamping #AdventureTravel #WildCamping #BeaverCountry #SoloTravel #Motorcycle www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4hC...

Out on the trail this morning!

Day 13 is up! A few blunders in the planning department, but my god, the wild camp spot more than made up for it! #motosky #motorcycletouring #adventure #scotland youtu.be/ICUo3AQn_k4?...

RIP Brent Hinds. Thank you for the music, my man. Keep ripping that Harley on the other side. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Due to a quirk in YouTube's algorithm, it killed my last video :( It initially did well with subscribers, so algo pushed it to a new audience, one that apparently doesn't resonate with my content at all. It's a shame really. From doing well, to dead in the water. The algorithm is so cruel :(

Day 12! A super interesting museum & a coral beach on Skye, a ferry back to the mainland and a ride to Strontian, the place where the element Strontium was discovered & a botanical woodland with redwoods and stuff! #motosky #motorcycletouring #scotland #skye www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZmT...

DAY 11 is out! Tackling Applecross Pass before I head to Skye to get battered by rain, wind, potholes and sheep shit. Met back up with James though! #motosky #motorcycleadventure #scotland #isleofskye #motorcycletouring youtu.be/R0n_3akTlyU?...

Oh, and stickers arrived for the bike!

Sitting among crickets and ruins today

Been such a nice day today, and due for one tomorrow, and I have no money for fuel for the bike 🥲🥲

Day 10 is out! Another incredible day, heading from my wild camp, seeing a couple of waterfalls, before carving up the famous Applecross coastal road, chasing a Mustang and Sylva. And then there's a magnificent stag at camp. #motosky #motorcycletouring www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNu0...

Day 9 is out! The best roads I’ve ever ridden, the best wild camping spot, and genuinely one of the best days of my life. #motosky #motorcycletouring #scotland #motocamping youtu.be/2oBQMtc8CnI?...

Chilling in the woods while away doing a cheeky few days motocamping. #motosky

Motherfucking wind farms…

New episode! Super interesting and the scenery is the best yet. I head to the Flow Country, Europe's largest peat bog, to see the ecosystem services peatlands provide. Also, a ride on the incredible road around Loch Eriboll, and Smoo Cave. #motosky #motorcycletour www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkFU...

I struck it lucky on the way back from #armchairadventurefestival People were riding off Dartmoor with headlights & rain gear on. For me, the rain stopped before I got to the moors & began again behind me as I rolled off the tops. I felt a bit guilty actually, but smiled all the way home! #motosky

After 5 years, I think I'm finally ready to entertain the idea of moving on from my ex. At least the idea of a partner doesn't fill me with disgust anymore. With that in mind, if you know any nice guys (gay, obviously) who are into nature and motorbikes and aren't obsessed with sex, hmu.

New episode 🙂 Visited Camster Cairns, Whaligoe Steps and John O’ Groats in this one! #motosky #motorcycletouring #motorcycletravel #scotland www.youtube.com/watch?v=k301...

At Rutland Water, chilling with some Kestrels

@thelongestjohns.bsky.social Hey guys - I just wondered if you allowed your music to be used in a transformative context? I wanted to use the outro of Mingulay Boat Song in an unmonetized video on YT, as I sang it while looking out over the sea on my tour of Scotland.

New episode is out :D #motosky #motorcycle #motorcycletouring youtu.be/mN0jj_2v8zc?...

40 minute episode dropping in 30 mins!

New video is out! Carving up the stunning roads of the Cairngorms and wild camping at Loch Ness. #motosky #motorcycletouring #motocamping www.youtube.com/watch?v=07e2...

Wow! So much activity on my alpine sea holly! #pollinators #bees #nature

New episode is out :) In this one I cross the border and head on up into the Cairngorms. #motosky www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbE5...

Majestic spot for today’s reading. #motosky

Episode 1 is out! In this one I actually set off on my journey from the Yorkshire Dales up into Kielder Forest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0hI...

The prologue episode (Ep 0.5) to my tour series is live :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHV0...

Last year, this riparian area was absolutely lousy with Himalayan balsam. I made it my mission this year to eradicate it, at least from this small patch, early in the season. Looks like it worked! Nothing but nettle and willowherb!

Bloody hell, 2 weeks since a post. I got back home safely from my tour. First episode will be released on Sunday. Can’t wait to start this series :D

Good evening from Islay
