That's a great vid. I particularly like the bit where the editing captures the misery and madness of hiding under a bridge in the rain, sleep deprived, needing a crap. The guy is a beast for getting that done in 7 and a bit days. Took me about 2 months on my Remedy. Also appreciate the fully self sufficient ethos they are doing GBduro with now. Respect to all the competitors.
It also shows what a beautifully varied island we live on.
