TRUE ADVENTURE The sun finally came out and we were able to admire the green of this peninsula and the white farmhouses set against the cliffs. Some scattered sheep lay low in the grass to take shelter from the wind.

STYLE AND FREEDOM First impressions of Iceland. Although the sea was calm, the crossing was marked by constant rain... And Iceland’s weather forecast didn’t leave much hope! As a matter of fact we had to wear our rain gear as soon as we got on the ferry ... From when we disembarked at Seydisfjordur, and for almost two hours, all we saw were low-hanging clouds and pouring rain.

LONG JOURNEYS UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS
Ep. 7
The road surface was excellent and allowed us to make good time. The only danger was the sheep, which, startled by the sound of the motorcycles, would dash across the road unexpectedly. The sun finally came out and we were able to admire the green of this peninsula and the white farmhouses set against the cliffs.

SCOTLAND: AN INTENSE ROADTRIP We’ve been riding through England at full speed, on the highway for two days. We look forward to seeing the liberating sign announcing Scotland. Once in this mysterious and foggy territory, we will finally get off the “Highway” and enjoy endless curves and local tarmac.

A NORTHERN CITY Here we are in Glasgow, a Northern city, after many days of crazy and uninterrupted riding. The city is not very welcoming but we are happy to finally start our itinerary into the far north! The aim is to reach Tongue and from there follow the coast to Thurso and then descend to Edinburgh. We are expecting good weather to free camp along the way. Of course, we will stop and visit the island of Skye.

BEING CONNECTED
Ep. 8
The Isle of Skye welcomes us in all its splendor. The landscape is magnificent and we never cease to marvel at the beauty of it all. It is through detours and inquisitive looks that we finally find a camp site for the night. We stop in the middle of nowhere, after meeting some shepherds and some sheep. A mountainous peak overlooks us, the peat sinks under our feet. Tonight, we will have a natural mattress. #RIDEYOURLIFE
