About this episode

The episode covers Day 5 of the Recharging Round Britain journey, detailing the route and sponsors involved.

DAY 5 Today, Friday 17 July 2026, we continued with Day 5 of Recharging Round Britain, where we are trying to, as closely as we can, recreate the route we undertook nearly a decade ago. Hear how we got on today as we travelled from Inverness, via Wick, John o’Groats, Tongue, Lairg, Ullapool and hopefully ending up at Fort William. CHARGING SPONSOR Thanks to our charging sponsor, GRIDSERVE, They have an EV charging network that spans almost the whole of the UK. While you can just turn up and pay with a debit card or their app, you can also get 25% off charging rates at all 200 of their locations with GRIDSERVE Plus. GRIDSERVE Plus costs just £7.99/month and can be cancelled at any time, much like many gym memberships, and as well as the discounted charging, there are many other seasonal membership benefits such as EV heathchecks while you charge, pet portraits, and similar. Many people take out Gridserve Plus for a month at a time to cover a holiday or seasonal travel. There's more information at gridserve.com/membership/ VEHICLE SPONSOR Thank you to Hyundai, who once again have loaned us an electric vehicle enabling us to travel around as much of Britain as we can in six days…
