There's something about these behind-the-scenes videos, they're so authentic and down to earth, and very watchable! The 56 minutes and 48 seconds flew by, it's not often you can say that! Well done mate, another epic trip, thanks for keeping the camera rolling when I know it'd be the last thing you'd really feel like doing!
Great video, Scott. I made a note of the coach company's name, Peters Reisen in Wasbek, Germany. Unfortunately I could not make out the coaches registration number. I also took the liberty to send them an email complaining about the driver and pointed out that it is perfectly legal here in the UK to photograph absolutely anything as long as the photographer is in a public place. I did this, of course, in German.
Yeah, the Germans are weird with their privacy, OTT but probably down to all the shit they went through with the National Socialists and later the Stasi, can't have been easy.
Very enjoyable video, thank you. The reason you heard so many Germans in Cornwall was because of Rosamunde Pilcher OBE. A Cornish born author, whose sweeping novels were set in Cornwall. Her novels (which have sold over 60 million copies); were serialised by ZDF, one of the main TV stations. This series is hugely popular Sunday night viewing. The Germans love to see where the series is set. Rosamunde served in the Navy during the second world war. She has a Scottish connection. She married a naval hero (Grahame Pilcher, jute executive) and after the war they settled in Dundee.
I wasn't expecting to see Bristol here! If you're back there again, the bakery is UNDER the station and serves coffee etc. If you take the steps down when you come outside the station, you'll find it but it definitely isn't well signposted. It's called Hart's.
I can't explain it, but the PTE videos are far more satisfying and comforting than any Netflix series or traditional telly documentary. There is something truly wonderful about your uploads and i'm still working my way through them. How about (as some suggestions): "Van (Turkey) to Inverness: The Longest Possible Flixbus Journey", "Spending 3 days on back-to-back low cost airline flights", John O'Groats to Lands End: the long way" (i.e. you fly out/don't go through Britain and get the ferry back from St Marys), " Feel free to nick them!
I love these videos. I appreciate the planning you put in anyways but this elevates it. Creating captivating content takes a lot of work. Truly, we do appreciate it and love the videos.
I think you did the right thing by flying to Bristol, those CrossCountry trains rarely have enough carriages for the demand. Even with a seat reservation I've had many miserable journeys with them.
That was hectic and great to watch and I can imagine you were asleep right before your head hit the pillow, when you slept in your own bed! Untill the next one, thank you very much!!!
I stayed in the Queens hotel in Penzance, way back in 1971. Did the journey from Dorset with my parents, brother and a Cocker spaniel called Judy in a Reliant Regal.😊
Scott you are legend mate , please continue making videos , the content is great and you give help and information plus entertainment. I'm pressing that subscribe button now ! Keep doing what your doing mate ! God bless from Paul
What a great video Scott, you have such stamina! Definitely a thumbs up from us and marks out of 10 .... 11 🥰 well done and thank you for the lovely scenery and views
When I spent almost a year in the UK in 1994/95, I did some travelling, but I did not travel ENOUGH! So I now travel with you to compensate for that. To catch up in a way! Thank you!
The cafes at Temple Meads are mostly underground in the subway. There is a quiet waiting room on platform 13/14. There is also a Greggs, Spoons and a few other shops/cafes just 1 minute walk from the station, from a secondary entrance
Another fantastic vlog Scott, well done Sir 👏🏻👏🏻, it was a real joy to watch it all from start to finish, and always with a tale or two to tell, love it 👍
Your indepth knowledge of the travel industry. Combined with your Scotish miser attitude adds to the enjoyment. With the odd Blaire cameo. It makes it a most enjoyable watch. Also Looking forward to Mr Marsh and his pubcrawl in the most remote part of the world.
I really enjoy these videos. Wick has never changed. Last time I was at John O Groats it was run down looking and only an expensive cafe open. Glad to see it looks a bit better. I appreciate what you go though to make this content. Cheers Scott
Scott & Steve, i was in Bristol this weekend and spent 4 hours at ss brunel ship, fantastic time and lovely staff. Steve I went to pieminister after watching your video, was excellent I didn't go for the mothership though. Brunel was some man he is Bristol.
I recently drove from my house in Cumnock to Penzance just purely because I love driving lol. It took me about 11 hours with some stops on the motorway.
Thank you so very much Scott for this epic journey. You certainly put yourself out for us all and I for one couldn't appreciate it more. Looking forward to your next one. 😊
Hello from Helensburgh just down the road from you. Absolutely love this type of video Scott. Really shows how much work goes into a video. Funny I was thinking while watching the first video, he had to do Paisley down to lands end and back to Paisley again it's basically double the journey. Great video.
I love these behind the scenes videos, Scott! (I really enjoyed the Lands End to John O’Groats video, too. Lands End is so much more commercialized than when I was there in 1980 but the coast is still gorgeous.)
Hi Scott. Personally I loved this more than the original lands end to John o’groats video! It’s all the little bits we never think of that goes into the main video, brilliant!
"The hole in the wall" pub? You have walked a long way. The next time you visit Bristol Temple Meads station and want to have proper place to consume coffee, you can walk outside the side door of the station, then go pass the Meads Reach Bridge or Valentine Bridge, and you'll find some fairly good cafe within minutes of walk.
I love watching your videos Scott, been a loyal subscriber for years and love watching your channel. Your videos helped inspire me to travel from Munich to stoke on Trent purely by coach 😂 took me 36 hours but such an experience!
Thanks for this, both sides of the video were excellent 👌🏻 we are travelling by sleeper to the far north and off to John O' Groats and Orkney so all was of interest, well done on the trip 👍🏻
Dare I say it, Scott, but this video was even more interesting than the "proper" one..! Funny to hear you refer to "trucks" as well as "lorries". A little bit of Australia has stuck! 🤣
This was amazing Scott. What a punishment on your body and all in the name of You Tube. Watched both videos - I'd love to see Penzance but don't think I'd ever go there (or back) by bus!
Aw Scott.. amazing how you achieved this...we love coming with you...the longer the better🤩perhaps this one was too long for you...anyway scott...well done for completing your epic challenge..🍺🍩cheers till the next one...
St. Mary, Redcliffe is a gorgeous cathedral. The next time you're in Bristol.....You're eggs looked poached. When you got on the bus in Penzance there was someone behind you on the open section wrapping up against a monsoon. Seeing the sign Dangerous Cliffs - I expected a group of violent 1960s singers to come at you!!
Great concept covering the same trip, sort of, with two videos. I like the the alternate idea and you did it really well! Thanks for the great journey and for your insight!
I've completed now my Public Bus LEJOG I mentioned in a comment in the other video, and honestly, it felt a lot less stressful than yours! Really cool to see this behind the scenes stuff, having recently also killed a bunch of time in bus stations 😆
Great job Scott..you love to travel !!..that trip must of been more than a little challenging & exhausting..keep up the good work !!..Hope you had a good sleep in your own bed ! ..until your next adventure
You were shouted at to delete a photo of his bus, but the video of the bus whose privacy he so valiantly fought to protect is now on a RU-vid video watched by 28,000 so far. Classic.
For future travels, there is a cafe on platform 10 of Bristol Temple Meads, I believe. Or, when you were standing with your back to the station, there are two lovely cafes beneath you built into the arches. Great content as always, cheers scott.
Great video Scott. I do enjoy these behind the scenes videos almost as much as the real (um that will do) videos. Love the effort you put in to entertaining all of us. Thanks for the scenery and insights. I bet you enjoyed your own bed. 😅
Loved both your videos, lovely scenery at both ends and the weather was kind to you. Only problem is I now want fish and chips or that delicious looking Mac Cheese.😂
Very enjoyable video. Shows just how much preparation and planning Scott puts into these videos as well as having to watch the budget. As for being told you cannot photograph a German coach, I'm sure Basil Fawlty would have something to say about that. I like the spontaneous element - things not quite going to plan reflects reality.
Scott, your Behind the Scenes videos are at least as entertaining and interesting as your ‘real ones’. Please keep doing them. Lands End to John O’Groats is one of those to do journeys and your trip was brilliant. Incidentally, Coffee #1 is a small chain in the South West (think it started in Cardiff actually) that we always used to visit when we lived in Gloucestershire. Way better than the massive multinationals and they used to have tea-cakes the size of dinner plates which were delicious.
I cycled Lands End to John O Groat's in 2019, I must admit the getting to and from the start and finish was definitely the most trying part! Also I found John O Groats a great deal preferable to lands end, its touristy but atleast its not so tacky as lands end. That said I also visited Dunnet head which was gorgeous. Cool video thanks for doing these crazy things!
Here's something for next time someone asks you to delete a photo. The second you take a photo it becomes your property, to ask you to delete your photo is illegal as it's destruction of your property. They'd need a court order for permission and that can only be given if they can prove your photo is to be used for malicious purposes. I don't know if that's the law in Germany but it is here.
At the end you are pleased to be sleeping in your own bed understandably, but did you notice the other highlight at that moment - there was a Gregg’s behind you. 👍😂
