00:00 The Outer Hebrides are a cluster of tiny islands
00:04 lying just off the west coast of Scotland.
00:07 Every direction you look just blows you away.
00:11 Over the next four days I'll be cycling from the Isle of Barra
00:15 to the Isle of Lewis and Harris.
00:18 And this adventure is all about entering the wild.
00:22 The Outer Hebrides are somewhat of a British secret.
00:28 And we have it all to ourselves!
00:31 Being so remote...
00:33 There is no one else around.
00:35 ...for a bikepacker like myself, you'd better come prepared.
00:39 I ran through quite a methodical checklist
00:42 and I asked myself, what could possibly go wrong?
00:46 I just need to flatten this space out.
00:49 I've never actually been fishing before.
00:51 I really hope I'm not sick.
00:54 Whoa! Bloody hell!
00:57 I don't have sea legs, I've got cycling legs.
01:00 We've got the Hebrides at its very best.
01:03 The contrast can be stuck in gale force winds with nowhere to hide.
01:09 Either side of me, I just can't see.
01:14 You've got no visibility.
01:16 I've gone on to the weather forecast
01:18 and it said that there is a 100% chance of rain all day.
01:23 You all right there, Kirk?
01:25 I'm all right, isn't it?
01:27 It's all part of the Scottish adventure, isn't it?
01:29 My ferry is due right now, but there's no boat.
01:35 We can't actually get off the island.
