I stumbled upon these little gems this morning!
Well worth a few minutes of your time.
There are actually 4 parts to this BBC Scotland documentary, but unfortunately I could only find the first 2. If I manage to locate the rest of it I shall update this post.
Filmed in 1971 it follows ‘mechanised tramp’ Bill Houston, celebrating 25 years of cycle touring.
Enjoy…
a far simler and happier time eh, and dangle cups aplenty !

Just a shame I couldn’t find the rest of the film! Absolutely fantastic little time capsule. I stumbled upon it whilst looking for the Ian Hibell book this morning.

I never got around to posting these vids to the blog, so thanks to Grass Up The Middle for doing it! π

Enjoyed those films. I had a Primus stove similar to the one in the second part which I would have bought in 1976 or 1977. I lost it in a house move in the mid 80’s.
