Hopefully it manages to strike a balance between trying to turn every small event into some epic life and death TV moment and just being a dull vlog of a motorbike ride.

Just watching the second episode now, it quite interesting and a pretty epic adventure. The guy is clearly new to TV stuff and lacks a bit of charisma but he's not really annoying or anything. He defiantly should of used a camera with some kind of image stabilisation though.

Who held the camera for him?

He keeps mentioning somebody called Karl who is travelling some of the trip with him, but then you never really see any footage of karl or get any background of him. It's all a bit weird.

Someone is following with a camera at times anyway, not clear if on another bike or what.
The bike seemed to cope better than you'd expect through all those deep ruts and such - looks too heavy though. Glad I wasn't trying to lift it out of a bog while hardly able to stand on slippy mud.

missed this, can i see on catch up anywhere?

[Al]

The rest of the episodes will be on tv sunday at 7pm but the travel channel doesn't seem to have a catch up that I can see. Somebody might upload it to youtube or something I guess.

Travel channel may not have an internet player catchup - but they do repeat all of their own content very regularly. You can bet that this will be back on in a few weeks.
