London to Bangkok 2015 Video Blog
Hi Everyone,

In June 2015, I set out to ride to Katmandu solo, but I ended up going all the way to Bangkok.

This thread included my Vlogs (Video Blog) and a couple of photos.

Currently, the videos only cover up until Pakistan as I got separated from my hard drive along the way, the rest of the videos will be put up in a few months when I manage to get my hard drive back.

This map shows the original plan.



The first video covers from Brighton to Bulgaria, here are a few highlight photos.





And here is the video, please like on YouTube if you enjoy it.

Hi Kim

I watched your first video last night just after you posted it as an embedded video but (for me at least) i can't get the youtube links to play - i get a warning of an invalid url. I am using tapatalk so not sure if others are ok if they are doing directly via Hubb.

I'll be interested to watch.

Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy

Not sure why the links don't work in tapatalk, they work in a normal web browser.

I will see if it is fixable.

Kim, thanks for posting. Really enjoyed the video blog. Particularly interesting as my friend and I are planning a very similar trip for next year- Chiang Mai to London.

Glad you got back safely!
