Goodwin is a 1977 Avon Searider, a tiny 4m rib. Starting in London we’ve been heading clockwise around the UK, four years later and we’re still going. With the hole in the hull all patched up we head out into the dangerous Scottish waters of the Pentland Firth. Passing Stroma and John O’Groats we finally start heading South along the East Coast of Scotland. We stop in at Wick, Berridale, Cromarty and take in the wonders of the Whaligoe steps.

In this Episode i’m joined by regular co-pilot Charlie. A very big thanks to the Support team for all the hours behind the wheel of the Renault.
Big thanks to Stephen Jardine on BBC Radio Scotland for his expert recommendations on places to go and to Wick Harbour master Ian for not throwing the camera cards in the bin.

Please tell us when you are passing Northumberland
We will come out to the shore with a huge picnic ❤
Loved the episode harry it was an cracker ❤
Did I somehow miss you coming up the West Coast? Past Argyll?😊
Another brilliant video Harry! I always find myself smiling while watching you and Goodwin.
Twenty three minutes in and everyone is waiting for Charlie or Harry to mention the word 'GIRDERS'.
Adventures you dream of as a boy. It may seem trite but to see you pursue this to close over the last few years is pretty incredible. Been watching since day 1 when you were hacking insulation out off that ship. Myself and my wife were throwing insulation into our old new home. Before our two delights came along. Love your channel , bless xx can't wait to see you cross the Thames.
@harrydwyer what coat is that your wearing? The White/Navy one? I want to get one !! 😀

I'm getting worried now as the final episode is in sight. What is the next adventure for Harry?
The man at Whaligoe steps didn't show you his backwards steering bicycle then?
Again brilliant!!! Thank you for sharing this great adventure of three cool guys!
Best wishes Ulrich
I don't know why but you make it look like you have all the time in the world. No work, no trains, no Tesco, no school runs; just camping, villages, bays, coves and the sea.
I am so glad I found your adventure from Ep 1. Its an absolute joy. A wonderful cast of lovely characters and Goodwin. Thank You
Utterly utterly JOYOUS 👌❤️
Another superb episode Harry, an hour of joy.
I actually laughed out loud of joy when i saw your video appear on my youtube thread 😂. I've watched every episode right from the beginning. Stunning content, great footage, and a fantastic story👏. All the facts and know hows and are great too 👍.
Thanks Harry and co. Already looking forward to the next episode.
i am impressed on how clear the water is .. and this coming from a guy who lives in Hawaii
Great video, as always! I am 48 now and loved those famous five books when I was a child. So much adventures.
High adventure…..understated. I really want you to make it, but I don’t want it to end. Top draw!
I find it bonkers I started watching this when I was 19… 4 years later I’m 23 and despite the huge changes in my life one thing feels the same. Sat watching Goodwin and its tales, and for that 30 minutes an hour however long it is I think about nothing but this!
I live near Cullen wish I knew when you were there. One of the only videos I never skip through😎😎
Portsoy lido will soon be repaired 👍
Love this series ❤👍
I wonder how far Goodwin has traveled ?
Awesome … been following the journey since the start. Just brilliant footage and narrative. I can only imagine the cold shudder when you realised you’d lost the cards … well worth a bottle of the good stuff 👍
Get it over with already
Incredible scenery. Love it when Charlie goes with, he's in through thick and thin. The dejection in your voice and elation later on. Wow, I actually found myself shouting aloud for joy when you discovered the cards were ok! Such a great trip.

Excellent! Looking forward to the next one
Eh, Odysseus aged out a bit by the time he completed his voyage too.
King of the castle is looking out thinking, that looks like fun. then yells out "Charles old mate, nick down and buy us a cheap 350 million dollar run about, i do say, that looks like marvellous fun"
Id have that trip done in a weeek

You never see Charlie in the same room as Jake Gyllenhaal. I'm loving following this adventure.
I feel such vicarious wholesomeness from watching your progress, Harry. Thank you for making such high quality content.
Another fantastic video Harry, any idea when you be back to London? ( also I say again this should be on TV 🙂 )
Fantastic video guys, and that means all of you, great footage, but unfortunate for you old drone lol loving this keep it up, I also followed the lifeboat Coxswain on his rowing expedition, looking forward to more 🙂👏👏👏
Absolutely love this series, Harry you are just so natural, I feel like I’m along for the journey with you, and the animation, drone shots etc make it so professional, tremendous work!
