The Man Who Cycled The World

[Brock]

I'm looking around the Scotland Outdoors website and I'm completely failing to find a link to last nights program ... yes I know - thick. Could someone post a link for me please.

It's here on iplayer summerdays.
And great stuff it is too.

Thank you - I was in the wrong place of course off to watch it now.

 

[yenrod]

Really gonna watch that later hopefully!

I've just watched the last leg of the trip. What an achievement! What an amazing guy! Well done, Mark.

There is a feature page here
and the iplayer is here. Oh, someone else has already posted the iplayer link...

I taped the last episode and just watched it. That was some effort, especially as after he'd cycled 15,000 mls or so then getting run down, robbed and threatened all in the same day

Only just noticed that Episode 4 is available (but only for 3 more days)

I guess the bbc must be showing them in rapid succession.

Monday and Tuesday this week and last, can't understand why it was only shown in Scotland, maybe the BBC think that only Scots are interested in cycling

Has anyone else found down loading from the BBC Iplayer pathetically slow?

 

[redfox]

Sometimes but, on this occasion, it was really quick. Maybe, being a peer to peer network, its just pot luck where it comes from.

Yuh cant say much about this effort, I liked the way the French gave him an escort in Paris very nice - at least they apprieciated the effort, what an achievement, its beyond words !

I enjoyed the whole series, as did my children - I would have expected a more "its mum's boring cycling again". I just hope its reshown on the whole of the BBC at some point for the folk who didn't even realise that it was on.

I would have liked to have found out which country or part that he enjoyed the most. I guess America would feature heavily on the part he enjoyed the least - winter/mugging/accident etc.

What does he do next?

I think I recall from a television interview that he cited Iran for his best experiences, and as you suggest, America for the worst.

Yes - a certain irony there, preffering the axis of evil to the land of the free!

Made it back from Malta just in time to download the BBC iPlayer runs of the last two bits.
So much familiar there. My legs were hurting in sympathy....
