This was the lowest point. Too much heat. Not giving myself a break. The front brakes and handbrake on my bike failing. I'd had enough. No days off and pounding the miles. I rode around the southern coast of France unhappy and ready to quit the trip. I stopped properly filming, then even missed out Monaco after just not caring enough to even turn off the road. I had a bad night in a guest house in Italy, then got myself together. Doubled back, went to Monaco, and then changed my route to get me away from the scorching summer heat of southern Europe, by starting to head north towards the Alps. I end the video camping by Lake Como.

Welcome to my channel!
I am ClimbThatMountainUK, otherwise known as Jamie.
Follow me on my journey as I ride my motorbike to every country in Europe.
I leave from the Peak District in the UK, then head out into Europe from there. I have everything I need with me, including camping & cooking equipment, filming equipment, and a small acoustic guitar.
I'm riding alone, making it up as I go.
My bike is a 2016 Honda Africa Twin DCT (automatic gearbox), with aluminium Givi panniers. I'm wearing an RST Adventure suit, gloves and boots and an Arai helmet.
All the music in my videos was recorded into my phone on the trip and later edited at home.
Thanks for watching!
