Harry off-road - terrifying in places

[clive_candy]

Nothing better than self-indulgently spending a bank holiday morning catching up on Harry Metcalfe's back catalogue on YT.

Just watched his off-road trip from the Med to the Atlantic along the Pyrenees and - bloody hell! If you haven't seen it, do it now. Wonder at his fortitude. And I promise it'll make you think twice about joining one of those enduro-experience holidays.

Looked pretty straightforward to me!!
I dont think he prepped too well though. You can get bigger tanks and he should have done. Also, it is andora / spain / s of france... it is going to be HOT!!
Camelbacks, yes, but get a hands free drinker kit!! To keep concentration level up, you need to be pretty much drinking all the time, not water neither. Mix up your own electrolytic drinks and fill camelback with that.

I do extreme enduro races, 10 hrs plus. It's tough but fun. But keep hydrated. keep fuelled and it is much much easier.

I was expecting some exposed off road sections where you need a partner to watch you through the obstacles like this
