Listen to a special message from Billy here:
Billy’s first destination is Australia!
‘A nice wee catch! Newcastle, Australia’
‘I’ve completed many memorable walks in my cowboy boots. In Australia, the first was over Sydney Harbour Bridge. The second was on the roof of Sydney Opera House. Here’s the full story’
‘Arriving in Adelaide on my purple Harley-Davidson three-wheeler’
Making waves in New Zealand
‘Fab bike jacket made for me for my World Tour of New Zealand’
‘Ever pissed off a biker gang? I have, and all because of my nice jacket pictured above. Here’s what happened’
Then it’s off to float in Fiji
‘Lie back and think of Scotland: July ’87 – five months before his marriage in Fiji – the bridegroom practises his favourite Kama Sutra position’
Next, he’s riding across the US
‘Route 66. A Rambling Man’s dream! Here’s the time I took it on, Easy Rider-style’
‘Whenever I was on the road I sent my wee girlies faxes I created’
‘Most people have a celebrity lookalike, apparently mine is John Cleese. Here’s the time I got confused for him in Manhattan’
Getting advice from the locals in Bali
‘Here’s a great snapshot of me with a puncture-fixing crew in Bali’
Then we’re journeying north to the Arctic Circle
‘Keep your bear spray handy. This is advice a Rambling Man may hear if he or she is doing things right on their travels. For me, it was in the Arctic Circle’
London’s calling!
‘Trading in my usual leathers for a simpler get-up in this London to Brighton charity bicycle ride’
And finally, home again
‘We’re going back into the mists of time with this clip, when I was only a wee boy in Glasgow with a banjo in my hand and the lure of adventure in my heart’
‘Ceilidh at home in the Highlands, dancing with Pamela’
‘Glasgow to Inverness charity bicycle run. Not sure why my mouth is closed.’
‘Is that Nessie??? Monster-spotting on Loch Ness’
