Let me come over there. Showers. Warm showers. This dayarmm. We second and a half day. Being very cold and very wet. There’s nothing better. Last night, Adam was saying, uh, what were you saying? He just sort of said, “You know what? I’m I don’t want to be inside. I’m glad I’m here at least.” And he meant it, please. After, you know, after you saw You saw, we showed you the weather and the cold and the situation. And even so, you genuinely wanted to be there. We We could have stayed in someone’s house. We were the most pettyable we’ve ever been. People look at us, they cry. But I do not want to stay in the house. I like I want to stay in the outside. I want to feel the slo. I want to live my life. Yeah. To the maximum until I almost die. So you can live no more. We’re We’re begging for uphills today. Some warm that little tiny uphill we just did. That was lovely. I enjoyed.

Oh my [ __ ] I cannot break. [ __ ] a [ __ ] [Music] It is [Music] done. We are legal. [Music] Ah, smashed out 24 miles without really stopping. Should probably have lunch soon. I’m hoping there’s a town in there cuz we also have run out of water. And uh what? 38 miles to go. Yeah. One and a half more of what we did. Wet but not cold and sad. Just wet. Yeah. All right. and stink, man. Like real wet. I don’t know where it’s coming from. I just keep getting whips. Smelly breast. Wet wet breast. Stinks of sour milk. Well, I need more showers to get. I know. And this hair. Yeah. Well, you join us at the lunchtime. [Music] Today on the menu is windy and wet, sadness, a hope for a better life, and a wind tunnel and also sandwiches. We come here. A nice shadow. And uh this is the only shelter, but it’s [ __ ] Ah, just dripped in my eye. It’s dripping a lot. And uh it’s just coming in from here. dripping a lot under here. And so we have well no safe space. We have maybe 30 cm of a dry space. More than out there though. Yeah. So we make coffee now. I’ve not felt so cold and wet for such a long time. No. Yeah. I don’t think ever. It’s fun. Yeah. We love it. Ah, softy body. We love it. We want more. Okay, so we were sat here me and all miserable in a happy way, of course. And I turn around and I’m like, look at it out here. We’re like, um, yeah, it stopped raining. Oh, but we’re still getting dripped on. Oh, and we just stayed in there. Didn’t turn around. Oh. Oh, it’s coming out. The clouds are moving. It’s um very changeable today. I would describe it as in an instant. There’s our misery cove. You can see the line of shade. We were sat in the line of shade and the chatau. Yeah, it’s nice. Looks a bit [ __ ] actually. Looks like a Disney shadow. [Music] takes him off. Oh [ __ ] If you told me 2 hours ago, Callum, you’ll be taking your pants off in 2 hours cuz it’s too hot. I’ll say no. It’s [ __ ] the [ __ ] weather. It’s really changed. Hot. It’s far too hot now. [Music] The scene is this. We’re in Alam. Seems like a bit of a [ __ ] place, but we are maybe just in the outskirts. Um, first big place that we’ve come across. Really unexpected. We’ve been smashing it. 46 miles 18 to go. We’ve stopped to have second lunch. Well, it’s what is it? 26. Second lunch. And I’ve for some reason decided now is the time. I’m going to check if my phone is working. Now caveat. It may need charging. I really hope it works cuz I don’t want to buy another [Music] phone. Good sign. This rice looks hydrated. This is the second most starchy my phone has ever been. Hey, look. There’s one in the charging. Okay. Will you do something? I just want to tell my mom I’m not dead. This is day three. No phone. And it’s been quite nice to be honest. It’s just that my mom will be worrying so much. This looks good. This is promising, huh? The rice. I’ve never done this before. I’ve never done this. And it always seemed like one of those strange wives tales. No offense to all the wives out there, but um you did well on this one. bonus. Not only is my phone working, but we got a load of free rice from the restaurant and a sousvid bag. Almost straight away we’ve stopped. But for once, it’s one of those rare times where the maintenance is not the bike or Callum’s fault. It is just to replace the brake pads. Yeah. Look at that. Look at those puppies. Can you see in this light? Yeah. Yeah. It’s gone. Wow. rubber is just just finished. Good night. Uh for reference, here’s what it should look like. Finished. Soon, my friends, soon we will be with you. We did it. Woo! Yes, we made it. It felt like a bloody biblical challenge these last couple days. We bloody did [Music] it. One thing I’ve noticed about Luxembourg so far is it’s a lot darker than [Music] Belgium. Luxembourg smells amazing. [Music] We have spent a nice relaxing two days here in Luxembourg. Staying with our host LA, which has been amazing saw the city. Very cool city. I think we got some B-roll on Callum’s phone, which we’ll run now. [Music] bought another drum. We went busking. Made almost 40 yos in an hour. Going to do a bit more today, but we’ll fill you in as the day goes. Hello. Hey, I’m Alah. Have you enjoyed it? Good. Yes. It was my birthday yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. We had a blast. It was cool. Today’s great weather. Let’s go get the bikes in the garage. They’re still there. Yeah. I hope so. Yeah. And we are off. Camp somewhere maybe like 30 miles away. We’re not in a big rush. We’ve got 4 days to do 130 mi. So, we’re chilling. Straight chilling. [Music] We bused for a long time. 20 4. It’s 420. 420. Bloody hell. We haven’t We’ve done 3 miles today. 3 miles. Going to do maybe 20 miles. See how far we get. Yeah. Couple of hours. Campisha. Ah. Now we learn German. Good. And that is the first thing we learn. Can we have some water, please? Useful. Useful. [Music] [Music] When we were busking, the uh eccentric old man, he offer gave us something. He said he found it under a bus. All right, just arriving at the warm shower toast for tonight. I know next to nothing about this one. Oh my god, is that Marlon? What are you doing? I’m gardening. Where are we? This is the sponsored content. Don’t worry, it’s sponsored by us. The best two for one you’ll ever get. You might not have realized this, but we quite like camping and we love festivals. But we hate waste. And festivals have a lot of waste. So, we decided to make some outdoor clothing out of it. And we know you like the outdoors. That’s right, you. We’ve been making loads of stuff out of old tents with plenty more on the way. So check out our website at ww.reclaimetentwear.co.uk. Nice. Um follow us on Instagram while you’re there cuz it really helps. Do it or else. Or else I’ll cycle to your house and I’ll make an advert out of you. How about that? Get him. [Music] [Music] It’s been incredibly difficult. Very slippy. Quite steep. Lots of obstacles in the [Music] way. I don’t like this bit. We’re in a big old valley, so everything is too steep, including the hill that we just pushed our bikes [Music] up. Get him off. Get him off me. No, not like this. I knew it would happen eventually. [Music] [Music] It appears to be a cloud. Looking forward to that sunrise. Good morning. Morning. Uh, do you have anything to say for yourself? Delicious. I’ve been protected from drips from above, but Oh, yeah. When the water just passes through the air. Um, doesn’t help to keep you dry. I’m wet. It is wet. Well, I’m not wet, but I’m damp. It’s damp, man. [Music] I’m not sure. Guess what time it is? It’s time to try and fix Gllum’s brakes again. What is wrong? Just very loose. Very loose. Making a almighty squeal last night. Have a listen to this. Yeah. Let’s shut up. Yeah. Neither of us know what we’re doing, by the way. This has never happened before. So, either of us I think the problem partly is that this cable is Callum. So, this cable is hella afraid to possibly dangerous level. Waiting for it to snap. Yeah, that’ll be fun. Then the squealing won’t be the brakes. It’ll be Adam when I crash into him like I nearly did here. Don’t. Oh [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] Adam, don’t turn. Don’t turn. There we go. Shout out to my Hello, my dude. And if Films, they didn’t give me the stickers. I bought them because I like their videos. [Music] This river on our left is the border to Germany. Currently it Luxembourg, but not for long. Over there’s Germany. And we’ve come out of the We were in a valley of trees and it really locked in those clouds. It seemed like it was going to be a pretty gray day, but we decided maybe 5 10 minutes and it’s like this. Speak. Oh, he started squeak sound. Yeah, I’m persistent. All good. Yeah, speak. Yeah. And brakes work. You feel better than ever? Nothing is ever going to go wrong again. It’s pretty quick, but it’s one of those nice times where you spend loads of times doing loads of time doing maintenance and it actually works. Yeah. So good. That’s good. Yeah. Do we did it again? We did it. Yeah. We always make it. We always make it in lovely weather. Always. [Music] Germany. Cool. So far so good. I like Germany. We ah fourth country. No, fifth country, including England. That’s pretty mad. We made it to Pari. Did we take a wrong turn? Jeon back in France. We definitely must have gone the wrong way. How is this? What? What? Huh? Yeah. I am the German man. I going to get my bus like any other normal day. What is this? Boo off. I’m doing me toenails. This is my bus stop now. Oh yeah. I’m just this German child. I want to go to school. I get the bus. It is a beautiful day. Oh no. What is this? [ __ ] off, will [Music] you? Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Massive, isn’t it? Never seen one of them so close, isn’t [Music] it? I mean, it’s like proper mud. Just been told that it’s half 8. Half past 3 and we’ve only done 15 miles. So, uh, probably going to stop filming things. Get moving. [Music] This is like textbook. Real nice feel to this forest. Yeah. And considering 2 minutes ago we’re right next to the highway. Yeah. I don’t get it. Pushing our bags over sandbags wondering where we were going to stay. Yeah, it’s lovely in here. Absolutely lovely. [Music] We’ve been Belgium. It’s raining. We’re welcomed into the country. Could you be quiet up there? Welcomed into the country with beautiful blue skies. And then the next morning it does a little bit back andas like it’ll switch back and it’s now raining for the next two days. We thought it would let up this morning so we were just sitting for a while but it’s not and it’s not gone according to the forecast. So yeah still going to pack up in the rain which is a new one I think. Uh yeah. Yeah. Uh not sure what to do with my I’ll figure it out. Make a copy. Yeah. But I’m happy. Yes, I’m happy. Okay, boys and girls, the GoPro isn’t charged and I’m not getting this camera out in the rain. So, next time you see us, we might be dry. Might be. I can’t wait for this transition. Let’s see what future has in hold. Future has in hold. Yeah, man. Future has hold me. Hold me, please. Hold on me. The future. Please hold me. [Music] Sometimes in other countries in Europe, not much changes as you go through them. But in this case, now we’re in Germany. Huge change. There is a McDonald’s gym. The McFit so you can eat your Big Mac whilst working it off at the same time. It’s so efficient. Oh, the German efficiency is out of this world. There’s the McDonald’s. The McFit Whirlpool swim. What’s cooking? Hello. This evening we have two different tartalis, some pepper, some spinach, and some pesto. Quick, simple. Just what the doctor ordered. Effective, which is very timely because we both feel super weird and tired after today. weird because tired. Um, it’s just been a slo of a day. Not much breaks and we arrived in the dark. Adam Adam didn’t like that. No, I got really did not like arriving in the dark. It’s one of my less favorite things. Spat his dummy out, but in a very calm and civilized manner. But he wasn’t happy. Sorry. Back to you. Mer. Okay. It’s a twoman show. Yeah. You got a military base over there. US Army base, I believe. Um, yeah. I don’t know. But yeah, we’re mashed. You’re in a hammock over there under a tap. My tent I packed my tent up soaking wet this morning. So, the inside was just soden. So, I’ve been wiping it down with my clean towel, but everything’s okay because we’ll be in a house tomorrow. Everything’s okay. Well, everything’s okay anyway. Yeah, we’re just tired. Absolutely mangled. We need this food in us. Yeah. So, go away. Yeah. Hello. Morning. Bright and early. Yeah. We’re sat in the same place except now the time’s different. This is an early start for us. I don’t want Adam crying anymore about dark arrivals. Yeah, even though we finished today at midday German house. Yeah, it seems like a very We’re surrounded by paths in this forest. It’s a very public forest and it’s next to a city. So, I guess people will be walking about, but maybe not in this weather. Don’t think I’ve told you what we’re doing, but I can’t be bothered at the moment. So, we’re going to Germany. Yeah, we’re in Germany. Yeah, there’s bits floating around in there. Brown liquid. Brown liquid. [Music] [Music] Nice. I told Adam that my ass feels better than ever, but it it’s unpleasant. I wish I put my sexy pants
