'I'm surprised the bike stands up to it' 

"Oh, it doesn't"

Great wee piece of archive madness.

Love how the bottles have quite clearly been placed there 10 minutes before filming.

Worth subscribing to BBC Archive on YouTube as they have some great stuff on there.  Is Jim ever mentioned in those tedious threads about who invented mountain biking as he appears to be doing it in 1971 and on a British bike for British people to boot.

This just came up on my YouTube and it's brilliant. 3/4 a bottle of whisky, 4 pints, 22 miles and (spoiler alert) no one when he got there. All those whisky bottles stashed on the moors omg. Apparently he lived until he was 82!
