Cycling 1,500km 🇬🇧 London to 🇪🇦 Barcelona
Carrying everything I needed on my bike. This is the full journey, no car, no support, just a camera, a mission, and a long road south.
I try to escape England to France, cross mountains through Andorra and Catalonia straight to the Beach! I slept rough, filmed daily, and pushed myself beyond limits, physically and mentally.
This is my biggest adventure yet, a solo bikepacking challenge across Europe.

this is really good but what you should do is split it into different episodes
Cracking video, real world bike packing/touring 👍
Proper adventure !!! Well done Alex
Great Effort, and great quality video mate, well done and thanks for sharing a great bike trip.
Wow crazy how you filmed all that on your own, mountains looked mad well done
Awesome video – proper bike trip – no cheeky cheating in McD's, Hilton etc etc. Can never spend enough time showing what you eat, where you bought it, how much it costs bla bla. Next to the actual trip cyclists love eating. Mechanique? non, cafe 🙂
I have just found your YouTube channel. I like your bright orange tent, which is a great colour to blend into the green background scenery!😮😂😅😊 I am thinking of doing what you are actually doing. I have got all of the gear? But need to build up my cycling fitness after prolonged injury problems!😢 I would do it at a more leisurely pace, though. I would want to take a few weeks to cover that distance, perhaps a month? As I am a leisure cyclist, I am not a road biker into speed. I would go from London to Dover though, and continue from Calais.
How long did this take you total?
Alex, its Chris from MS, i just want to say what an amazing video!! Go and smash it mate!! Hope all the leg exercises and strength in the gym helped carry you to Barcelona!! Looking forward to the next video!!
Good work fella. Enjoyed watching from NZ.
One of the best bike touring videos I've seen. It's great to see everything warts and all. Can I ask a delicate question, how did you manage answering the calls of nature, specifically no.2's.
France is lush init. Did the wild boar get you in the south?
