00:30We're coming round to meet you a long way on.

00:42Across 20 years and three incredible adventures, we've travelled to some of the farthest flung corners of the world.

00:48This is us on the road, Charlie. This is us on the way, man.

00:51Yet we've never properly explored the countries on our own doorstep.

00:55OK, here we go. Into Europe. Let's do it.

01:00So we're spending the summer riding a spectacular loop through 17 of our closest neighbours.

01:05Starting at my house in Scotland, we'll cross over to the continent, travel up through the Nordics and into the Arctic Circle,

01:12down to the Baltics before winding our way through the Alps and across France, returning home about two months later.

01:21And we're going to throw caution to the wind by doing the journey on temperamental 50-year-old bikes that have been given a new lease of life.

01:28My bike's making funny noise.

01:32Riding alongside them on the third motorcycle are cameraman Claudio and Max.

01:36And the guys will also be taking personal diary cameras.

01:40Russ and I will be following behind with a small crew and two electric trucks, only meeting up with the guys when necessary.

01:46So, this summer, Europe is our playground.

01:51Wow!

01:53And we're going to follow our noses and see what we find on the open road.

02:16It's so beautiful here.

02:23It's unbelievable the scenery we've seen since we got into Norway.

02:28The scale, I didn't expect it to be so monumental.

02:32It's Valhalla, you know, the land of the gods.

02:39We're well underway now, having made it from Scotland all the way to the Norwegian fjords.

02:44We want to reach the Lofoten Islands in the Arctic Circle in time for Midsummer's Eve.

02:50First though, we've got a two-day ride through the mountains, heading for the city of Trondheim, with an overnight camp in Fortun.

03:00This is a tricky old road.

03:02I'll shout if it can't count.

03:03It's very high up over this wall.

03:04It's a very low wall as well, I mean, you know.

03:05Just enough to catapult you straight off.

03:06I think the bike would be okay, but you know, you'd go straight over.

03:09When you never question the doubts in your mind.

03:10When the distance grows, but the other...

03:11Hey guys, look out, somebody's trying to overtake.

03:12Nutcase!

03:13What?

03:14Oh, f*** me, there's a car.

03:15Okay, it's coming.

03:16Okay, it's coming.

03:17It's coming.

03:18Yeah, it's a very low wall as well, I mean, you know.

03:19Just enough to catapult you straight off.

03:21I think the bike would be okay, but you know, you'd go straight over.

03:26Oh, f*** me, there's a car.

03:27Okay, it's coming.

03:28Hey guys, look out, somebody's trying to overtake.

03:29I'm not catapult.

03:30What?

03:31Oh, f*** me, there's a car.

03:32Okay, it's coming.

03:33Yeah, it's like overtaking.

20:20the painting is really interesting isn't it the way that's just painted on the wood like that

20:24beautiful not such a good view from these seats those are the real cheap seats over there

20:33this church was built in 1158 in the very transition between the viking age and the christian part of

20:39the middle ages so they've still kept a lot of their protective symbols from the viking ages like the

20:44dragon's heads that you see on the outside of the church to sort of protect them from evil spirits and such

20:54such a pretty place

20:58made me think of my sister it's always terrible when people die young you know my sister was only 36

21:05years old and we lead such busy lives and it's very difficult to sit still and you know have time to

21:14think and that's why i always when i do these trips with you and you have time to think and and um you

24:04morning was so um hard going over that hill over that mountain yeah it was fantastic fun yesterday

24:12but i'm excited for the rest of the trip we're in trondheim and in order to get to the islands for

24:18midsummer we're going to take a shortcut and travel by boat overnight all the way up here into the

24:23arctic circle this is going to be an exciting little while and uh yeah i'm looking forward to it

24:33i feel like a new man

24:45let's do it

24:48what a day beautiful it's like a whole new experience riding in the sun

25:02this bike shouldn't be so like platty it's really spitty and poppy energy

25:08see there it clicks into its normal sound there that's it there we go yeah the four of the trip

25:16it would always feel like this it would do that blatting thing

25:25there's our boat oh yeah look at that

25:29we've gone up that ramp

25:32that's pretty cool man

25:36at low speed it's like and then once you get up to you know fifteen one fifteen hundred revs or two

25:42thousand revs then it suddenly finds its sound so i think it's like slightly out something's off

25:56that's not going anywhere it's not going nowhere mate yeah all right let's go good

26:00over the next 24 hours two boat trips will take us and our bikes up the coast of norway

26:09whoo look at the scenery oh my god gosh the nicest day we've had is when we're not riding the bikes

26:17yeah yeah it's quite extraordinary it's not very hardcore it's not very long way round it's a bit like soft way round

26:24this cloud is sitting like about 50 feet above the ground

26:42the sun doesn't set here for two months so the summer solstice

26:46holds a special significance and has been marked since viking times with bonfires on the beach

26:54we're officially in the arctic circle now okay you're charlie after you sir

27:12first off we're heading to some traditional fisherman's cabins our base camp while we explore the islands

27:22now we're heading to the island so i'm so happy to be riding the bike again that was a lot of boat work

27:29yeah there's a lot off they'll love that tunnels holy moly

27:36Well, here we are, guys, a whole new world.

27:51Fishing must be a big business here.

27:53Look at all those boats.

27:54And one of these huts must be our bed for the night.

27:57Might be this place here.

28:01It's not nice to sound.

28:06It just sounds terrible.

28:09I just realised why my bike's making funny noise.

28:12That was close.

28:13Looks like a machine gun.

28:15Doesn't it?

28:17It's all coming out.

28:18Oh, wow.

28:22I've been looking at it.

28:24I was looking at it before.

28:26You were waking up the whole town.

28:28That's even since Amsterdam.

28:31I realised that since Amsterdam it's been broken.

28:33Because running around those little streets in Amsterdam, I was like, blah, blah, blah, blah.

28:38I was thinking, this isn't right.

28:40Oh, man, that's funny.

28:43I feel like almost like getting it off and taking it to a welder in the morning or something.

28:48Yeah.

28:48See if you can get it welded up here, that'd be fun, wouldn't it?

28:50Yeah, let's do that.

28:51Yeah.

28:56Oh, look, in here.

28:58There's two beds in there.

29:00Just every day a different place to sleep.

29:03Oh, I've got a bit of sea legs there.

29:04Did you feel that?

29:06I'm still, like, wobbling around a bit.

29:09I was a little kid the last time I slept up on something like this.

29:13You sure you're going to be all right up there, Charlie?

29:15Yeah.

29:16All right, mate.

29:17See you in the morning.

29:17Love you.

29:18All right, good night, guys.

29:19Good morning.

29:26It's beautiful here.

29:27It smells like the highlands of Scotland here.

29:30It's that sort of mossy, grassy, sheepy smell.

29:35It just smells so familiar and so beautiful.

29:37It reminds me a bit of Jaws, this place, like the town in Jaws.

29:40Look at these.

29:41There's shipbuilders everywhere.

29:42So we're going to try and find a welder or some metal worker who can fix my exhaust pipe.

29:49And we'll try and get that done before we get to the beach this evening.

29:52So, that's the plan.

29:55These islands.

29:56Oh, my gosh.

29:56It's so beautiful.

29:58See if I can be reminded of what they're called.

30:05Chaps.

30:06What are these islands called?

30:08Loft?

30:08Something?

30:09Lofteton, is it?

30:10Lofteton.

30:12Lofteton?

30:12Hang on.

30:13I'll just show you here.

30:14That's not right.

30:15Sounds very original.

30:16Sounds like Bridgerton.

30:17L-O-F-O-T-E-N.

30:20Oh, Lofton.

30:21Lofton.

30:22The Lofton Islands.

30:22The Lofton Island.

30:24Vikings made those.

30:26Yes.

30:28Is this a Viking piece?

30:29That's an early Viking painting of what they thought the future was going to look like.

30:34They were dead on.

30:35These are Viking artifacts?

30:36No, that's just cheap Ikea.

30:38But the Vikings invented the flat pack as well, because they sailed a lot.

30:44So, they had to, you know, make everything sort of fit in those little boats.

30:49So, you can't knock them.

30:51Your knowledge is amazing by the Vikings.

30:53I've always been fascinated by the Vikings.

30:57Good.

30:58Good.

30:59Great.

31:00Thanks for those words of wisdom, guys.

31:02Yeah.

31:03Wisdom.

31:04It's in the Book of Borman.

31:07Right.

31:08Off to a welder.

31:09Are we ready to heave ho?

31:11You ready?

31:11Yeah.

31:19Here we go.

31:23Oh, Jesus.

31:29I have no idea where I am.

31:32Going around the circles.

31:35Maybe like a clown boat.

31:40Okay, go.

31:41Come on.

31:48Why are you going like that?

31:50Because what?

31:51Don't pull so hard.

31:52Don't pull so hard?

31:53Yeah.

31:54Okay.

31:55Too much of a Viking.

31:56Too strong, man.

32:01On second thought, let's walk.

32:04Look, that in this case is...

32:05They might have a welder.

32:07Should we try this one first?

32:08Yeah, door open.

32:09Door open.

32:11Oh, my God.

32:12They look so tiny in here, don't they?

32:14They look so tiny in here.

32:17Hello?

32:18Can I ask a favor?

32:19I wondered if you had a welder that I could have asked to help me to just weld that back on.

32:24You do?

32:25How long have you worked here?

32:2622 years.

32:27No way?

32:28You don't look old enough to work here 22 years.

32:30Ah, thank you.

32:32That's good.

32:3422 years.

32:34And you work on all fishing boats mainly, or...?

32:38Passenger boats.

32:39Oh, okay.

32:40Yes, they're certificated there.

32:41Yeah, yeah.

32:42Oh, I see.

32:43Oh, we've been travelling on quite a lot of those, haven't we, one way or another?

32:53I love it.

32:54It's the international thing.

32:55Well, if it doesn't fit, we can just...

32:57Just hammer it.

32:58Just smack it.

32:58Smack it.

32:59Totally right, man.

33:00It always works.

33:02I'm quite excited to get it done.

33:03Ooh!

33:04It's going to be good, isn't it?

33:05Yeah.

33:06Such a good feeling.

33:09Don't look at the ark.

33:11Don't look at the ark.

33:12You still want to look at it, don't you?

33:14It ain't never coming up again, though.

33:15It's never coming up.

33:16Not in a million years.

33:18Okay.

33:19Okay.

33:20Perfect, yeah.

33:21Um...

33:22Woo-hoo!

33:24Right!

33:25Back on the road.

33:25My God.

33:26Thank you so much.

33:28Can we owe you some money for this?

33:30Are you sure?

33:31Yeah.

33:31Oh, thank you, brother.

33:32Thank you so much.

33:33That is amazing.

33:34That's great.

33:35Look at that.

33:35I don't think that's going anywhere.

33:36No, that's perfect.

33:37That's perfect.

33:39So...

33:39Ready?

33:40Moment of truth.

33:41Here we go.

33:49That sounds bad, doesn't it?

33:51Oh, yeah.

33:52Brilliant.

34:00And it's riding absolutely lovely now, at low speed.

34:04Oh, God.

34:05What a difference.

34:06Thank you, welders.

34:10It's nearly mid-summer, but before that local tradition, we've got time to check out another.

34:16Stockfish.

34:17An ancient Viking delicacy that they're still making here today.

34:26I'm Ewan.

34:27Hello.

34:28How are you?

34:28Nice to meet you.

34:29What's your name?

34:30Katarina.

34:31Katarina.

34:31Nice to meet you.

34:32Charlie.

34:33I can hear you.

34:33Charlie, hi.

34:34We'd love to have a look around.

34:35That's possible.

34:36Yes.

34:37I would just suggest that the stockfish has a nice smell.

34:40Ah.

34:41It's a good smell.

34:42That's a perfume, you know?

34:44Oh, okay, yeah.

34:45So we'll be wearing that smell for the rest of our lives if we don't wear this.

34:48Oh, okay.

34:48So we'll put this on then, sorry.

34:50Okay.

34:50For me, that would be perfect if it's okay for you.

34:52Okay.

34:55Okay.

34:57You see all these rocks?

34:59Yeah.

34:59It's for drying codfish.

35:00They're full in the wintertime.

35:02And then you can feel the smell of the fish in the air.

35:05We clean it, take off the head, and we put it on the racks for drying.

35:09We go into the stockfish house.

35:13Okay.

35:14Yeah.

35:14Wow.

35:15Wow.

35:16No wonder there's no fish left in the sea.

35:17They're all in here.

35:21Last week, we took all the stockfish inside, and now it has to mature inside this building

35:26for a month.

35:28Okay.

35:28Inside.

35:29Okay.

35:30And you don't smoke them, or it's just raw fish you hang up?

35:32No, they are naturally.

35:32Yeah.

35:33And why doesn't it rot?

35:35Why wouldn't they just go off?

35:36The climate here in Lofoten is special.

35:38It's the only place in the world where actually we can hang up this fish and take it down to

35:43soak it and make it become a natural product.

35:45Did you taste this?

35:47No, I've not tried it like that.

35:48You never tried it like that.

35:49No, I've never come across it in my travels.

35:50No?

35:51We prepared something for you, if you would like.

35:53Perfect.

35:53Yes.

35:54Okay.

35:55The stockfish was used also by the Vikings when they went around the world, and they

35:59used this because it was dry, it was easy to preserve, and it was a lovely taste of it.

36:05This is dried stockfish, you see?

36:07Nothing else has happened to it.

36:08Nothing else.

36:09That's really good.

36:11It's just nothing's happened to it.

36:12No processing, nothing, no salt, no nothing.

36:15Just hang it up, dry it, and eat it.

36:17Okay, we must follow the tradition.

36:19The Norwegians, they used the beer.

36:22This is without alcohol because you are driving, of course.

36:24Oh, good.

36:25Thank you very much.

36:26Okay.

36:26Chin chin.

36:27So we should do chin chin.

36:28Cheers.

36:29So nice to meet you.

36:30Lovely.

36:32It's just hard to believe that they hang the fish up

36:35in January, and it stays there till June.

36:38Yeah, it's up here, huh?

36:39On these rods, yeah.

36:41It's just funny, isn't it?

36:43You just think, it can't be, you just think we must be much more complicated nowadays,

36:48but still they're doing it this old-fashioned way.

36:50You just take the head off the fish, gut it, split it, and then hang it up.

36:59I got my fish.

37:00Thank you very much.

37:01Well, that's dinner sorted.

37:06Let's head to the beach.

37:15Well, a very moody place, isn't it, with these clouds?

37:18Look at that mountain in the clouds.

37:21Amazing.

37:22It's like a volcano that's spewing ash.

37:25Wow.

37:25I've not really seen anything like this, to be honest.

37:37It's quite a place.

37:39It really is, isn't it?

37:40Dramatic.

37:41Everything's that colour.

37:42Everything's red.

37:42Oh, mid-summer.

37:56It's turning to me out to be a real pig of a day.

37:59OK, so this is in here.

38:08It's quite the dramatic backdrop, isn't it?

38:10It certainly is.

38:11It's a nice beach, though, isn't it?

38:13Beautiful.

38:14Shall we go on the rocks?

38:16Oh, oh.

38:17Hang on.

38:18Oh, yeah, this is the...

38:19Second.

38:20You get dinner?

38:21My starter.

38:26Appetizers.

38:27I really like it, though.

38:28It is good.

38:30This is the peas of the sea.

38:34Anyone fancy a bit of a nibble?

38:36Go on, Tim.

38:37Have a bit.

38:38Here.

38:40I'll give you a few bowls.

38:46It's fine, isn't it?

38:48It's more the thought of it.

38:49Is it?

38:50Yeah.

38:50It's tasty.

38:52Look at that guy.

38:54Spoiling our hardiness.

38:57Well, it's actually not that cold.

38:59It's just quite windy.

39:00Go on, then.

39:01In you go.

39:02Come on.

39:03Surf's up.

39:04Back to the fire.

39:06Yeah.

39:09Woo.

39:10There's some heat coming off, isn't there?

39:11Nice, isn't it?

39:12My eyebrows are melting.

39:16Wow, that really is something else when the wind comes this way.

39:20I mean, I don't know quite how summer this midsummer moment feels, but...

39:26There's Charlie on fire, walking to the background.

39:32My head's going on the floor.

39:35As hardy as these islands are, the dark winters must be punishing, so you can see why they'd want to make the most of the longest day of the year.

39:52Oh, it's a lovely place, man. I love it.

39:55This is your place, is it?

39:58Yeah, yeah.

39:59It's my place.

40:00What's about this midsummer night festival? What usually happens on midsummer nights?

40:05I mean, summer night, you know, the family and the kids are out. We are having the bonfire, then you usually have a small, smaller fire on the side, where we have the barbecuing sausages, and also a porridge called rømmegrøt, which is sour cream porridge.

40:23Oh, sounds good. Sausage wouldn't go miss right now, would it? Oh, there's a nice dog. Husky, that's beautiful.

40:30What a place to have your campsite. Wow.

40:38This part of the Lughalton Islands is some of the oldest mountains in Europe.

40:44Oh, really? Do you know how old they are?

40:46No.

40:47Four billion and thirty-five years old.

40:49Four billion and thirty-five.

40:51It's very precise, the thirty-five.

40:53Yeah, yeah.

40:53Four billion.

40:53Do you know how I know?

40:54Why?

40:55Because when I came to Lughalton, they were four billion years.

40:58LAUGHTER

40:59That's so funny. Perfect.

41:04That was brilliant.

41:06Oh.

41:07Oh.

41:09The sky.

41:13Now we can, look, you can see the mountains now.

41:15When we got here, they were all covered in clouds, but it's beautiful.

41:19I know.

41:19Beautiful spot.

41:21And it's nice having a big bonfire on the beach.

41:23Well, happy midsummer, Charlie.

41:25Happy midsummer.

41:26We're heading to Svalbard, which is this amazing island in the Arctic Circle.

41:39We're here.

41:40We are at the top of the world and on top of the world.

41:43Here we go.

41:44Wow.

41:45This is quite exciting.

41:47Oh, look at that.

41:49It's a very much polar bear area.

41:53How do we do that without worrying about the bear?

41:55LAUGHTER
