    Is the commentary.. sub-titled ? ( not being arsey)..just wondering prior to “signing up”..although I’m interested there would be little point in watching 3 episodes if I couldn’t understand what is being said ..
    Did some mountain biking on Harris in 2007..and would love to go back one day .

    Aye, it’s subtitled, well worth a watch as the scenery is stunning and they are two nice lassies as well.

    Definitely worth a watch.

    It is subtitled, but they do swear in English (well, Anglo-Saxon)

    Was a good watch, Know Kerry and a great ambassador for all of it.

    Watched the first episode ..it was ok but not too much to get excited about .
    I’m more looking forward to the next when they move on to Harris and perhaps spotting something that I have ridden on myself ..also in terms of scenery things should also improve ..

    That second episode was more like it ..and I had indeed ridden the first two tracks ..but spookily in reverse of how the girls did .
    The big white house at the end of the coffin road track at Seilebost was the one we stayed in ..but the literature & Christmas card that we still get 10 years later have explained that it is now the owners home / art gallery cafe ..it was only built the previous year when we rented it .
    The second track missed out a great trail through a wide but high sided valley and overall doing it in a clockwise direction to my mind looked better than the way they tackled it .
    That beach at Luskentyre also brought back memories as being the only people on it at 8.00pm in the evening ..just perfect !
    The last track is the reason for me wanting to return as I wasn’t able to fit it in ..we were on a family holiday at the time with my then 4 year old son ..but I was really grateful to get in the riding that I did ..even if it did mean that I had to take Gilly’s man & aunty with us!( only joking in the unlikely event that they will ever read this ).
    Looking forward to the last episode now..on the flat lands of Lewis.
