My second attempt at crossing Great Britain in a straight line.
Closed captions are available (and especially useful if you can't hear my support crew).
This time I won't be so easily stopped. In preparation my support crew and I scouted out parts of the line, visited rest stops and set up equipment caches. We tested waterproofing methods for my boots and stripped my rucksack down to the bare minimum. (A lot of this becomes very important later in the trip.) After all that work, the weather conditions turned out perfectly and I realised that this was the best chance I might ever have of completing the journey.
The line starts in the Firth of Clyde, just outside Helensburgh on the west coast of Scotland, and heads east. As much as possible it steers clear of population centres and the time of year was carefully chosen to avoid lambing, calving and crops. There is a "right to roam" in Scotland but everyone who indulges has to do so responsibly. Although I certainly pushed the boundaries of what is allowed during this mission, I took many precautions to minimise the chance of upsetting anyone or damaging the land. If you're planning a similar adventure then please do the same.
Part 2 coming soon!
In the meantime, take a gander at my first attempt if you haven't already (spoiler: it didn't go as well)

(At long last - 7 months and 4 videos later - I have a working GoPro again! I've also started using a wind protector and the sound quality is much better. Thanks to @GeoWizard for the recommendation.)
