This is not a patch on Henry Cole's World's Greatest Motorcycle Rides prog on the subject. Just the usual Connolly vehicle. Too much of him and not enough of the road.

I've really enjoyed all three so far.
Even if you did a trip like this yourself you wouldn't get to interview and spend time with the characters you met along the way.He seems to put people at ease quickly and have a good laugh with them.

His researchers turning up weeks before with cash and promises having nothing to do with it of course?

Deserted place was interesting. Just like "Cars"!

Exactly what I thought; all it needed was a tatty breakdown truck.

Yup, could have made it into a few more episodes as, am sure they would not have run out of things/characters to cover.

Had to laugh at the "it's holes that separate men from women". hehe

A power-cut may have proved problematic, but yes, a fantastic place to spend the night.

I'd be frightened to touch them.
A seriously talented family there.
