Bike Tour Diary

This is a new series where I interview people with inspiring stories of adventure. To start the series, I interview the most interesting person I know (who also happens to be my girlfriend).Katie Hatton (Instagram - youve_got_to_wander) has completed a number of adventure that many would consider being "once in a lifetime" journeys. We met in Dec 2018 in China when she was cycling from the UK to Malaysia. After that journey, she walked the length of the UK from Lands End to John O'groats and then walked the Te araroa which takes you from the top of New Zealand to the South. Before this, Katie had run the Marathon des Sables, which is a multi-day ultra-marathon through the Sahara desert,  a race often labelled the most difficult in the world.In this episode, Katie and I discuss her journey from school to completing these epic adventures. We discuss returning from a journey and funding multiple journeys. If you enjoy this episode, would you please leave a review on Apple Podcasts  iTunes? It only takes 60 seconds and makes a huge difference.  You can follow my adventures on youtube: youtube.com/adamhugill

Link to my Alaska/Dalton Highway trailer on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MPBZ0t9LqNYA whole year on the road! In some ways it feels like this year has flown by. In other ways it feels like the longest, most full year of my life.In this podcast (and my diary) I want to be fully honest. I'm recording these episodes mainly for myself in future years to come but if it helps other peoplke understand what it is like to live life on a bike, that is also an added benefit.You can support the podcast, the filming and bike tour by becoming a Patreon and get a bunch of rewards: PatreonYou can also watch the accompanying videos on Youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/adamhugill

Leaving Lary and Lisa's after 6 days off the bike was tough but the bike isn't going to cycle itself. You can watch my journey on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/adamhugill 

I've just returned from cycling for 10 days from Prudhoe Bay at the top of Alaska the next town which was 800km away in Fairbanks. In this livestream I will be talking through my experience on the Dalton Highway, updates for the future and I'll be answering your questions in the live chat.This live stream was published on YouTube on the 8 July 2019. Here is a link to the livestream: https://youtu.be/YBJqjDToMTk

The Dalton Highway took its toll on my bike and body. I was super fortunate that one of my YouTube followers messaged me and offered me a place to stay for 6 days. It was an absolutly wonderful 6 days which included Salmon fishing, video editing and eating some amazing home-cooked meals.

I may be starting to go a little mad after 9 days with little human contact. The end is in sight.

The end of the Dalton Highway is within sight. Crossing the Yukon was another big milestone as I made my way south towards Fairbanks. Even though the Dalton Highway is remote and long, I still happened to meet some wonderful characters.

I approach the Yukon River and start to reflect on spending a week alone on the Dalton Highway. There are also some music recommendations towards the end of the episode.

A short one as I was camping near other people and didn’t want to disturb them late at night. https://youtube.com/adamhugill

Eating a burger and being able to charge my stuff. Coldfoot was a little haven on my route south on the Dalton Highway. https://youtube.com/adamhugill

Tough climbing but blue skies. The Atigun pass is the highest road in Alaska. The Brooks Mountain range is now passed and it should be downhill from here... https:/youtube.com/adamhugill

The last thing I needed to happen, just happened. Broken spokes in the middle of the remote wilderness and with a big old mountain range to climb. https://YouTube.com/adamhugill

I leave Spencer behind and continue towards the mountains as I cycle south from the Arctic Sea. https://youtube.com/adamhugill
