It’s a ukhammocks underquilt. Unfortunately ukhammocks is gone now so you can’t get one, however there are a good number of cottage company’s who could knock you one up. If you like this video I’ve just made another like this, but in Scotland instead
Great video again. To be honest fella I feel you could present tv programs for a living. There's a touch of the James May with your wit and you come across very likable. Purely my opinon:)
Aerial shots, nifty camera work, good descriptions and info, lapping water, stunning views, maps and even now a fancy schmancy animated logo 😃 One of your best for me, you can see how much you enjoyed yourself and made me want to be there. Why aren't we there you asked...WHY AREN'T I THERE I wonder?!
What time of year did you do this? I want to do the same trip but I hear whispers of an informal agreement with fisherman to stay out during the summer months?
Sorry I can’t remember, it’s was a canny paddle from the launch point to the castle. I looked up the loch and then went round it on google maps to find a park up. Sorry I can’t be of more help
Hay John! Great to see you back out and well done on your achievement. Sorry to hear the reason you have been away but glad things are slotting back into place. Life does have a habit of interfering at times but hopefully now you will get back in the zone. Look forward to your next video 🌳😁🌳
Thanks Mel. You know how much effort I put into this I just put too much pressure on myself sometimes. Hopefully the next video isn't another year away
EVERYTHING! You said that you want in a tent is EXACTLY the same things that I desire; because of this you sold me. I gave you a Thumbs up 👍. The price is a bit of a hard pill to swallow, but... if one wants a great quality tent with all the features and our same likes and desires in a tent. Then the price is just a one time hit, and then it's behind you. I too, am looking for all the qualities that you mentioned for my recumbent trike touring. Question... How small does it compress down to if you put it into a compression sack? Thanks again, cheers.
It’s a bike packing tent. So the size is very small. Like forearm small. Even the poles have an extra fold to make them smaller. The price point is wild, I’m with you. But buy once cry once I guess
Hi John were planning this trip hopefully for this year.. .great video I love the way you had the two coloured canoes on the map .and you gave your stopping point locations great stuff I've subd 😍
nice paddle, done many white water rivers but trying to do more flat water to chill solo these days. Did you have any access problems in lambton estate. The game keeper has been known to pick issues with kayakers.
I’ve heard about the game keeper issue before. I know company’s that run this route also avoid lambton estate too. I’ve ran this route twice went through the estate twice and I’ve not been stopped collared or in anyway harrassed on the route. Can’t say that you won’t though
hi guys. great video. im going to attempt the same trip myself but my concern is how far did you have to drag your gear from car to water and did you have any hassle parking overnight ?
Wild camping isn’t strictly legal. Also if your hiking long distance and you want to pitch were you are it’s better to be away from view. A massive orange tent on the edge of a farmers field is going to attract attention you might not want
i did this after we were allowed back outside after the coronavirus event. best trip i’ve ever ever done and would love to go back. we did it in september when the midgeys weren’t rife!
Great video! I'm just about to buy a Camino. How did the bike handle it? I'm also unsure about the "bomber" flared handlebars, cant decide to stick with what i know or try the flared version. Thanks!
I really like the Camino, I ended up ditching the drops and got flats in the end. I’m not a racer, I don’t have hamstrings I have bacon strings so the thought of getting into that racing stance on a bike is a big fat no. The extra hoop on the flats give me more real estate for the lights and things too. My C2C video has them in. Camino is great though, would definitely recommend it
Just on here looking at other people's experiences of this route as im planning on doing it this april/may, im also from the northeast just near tynemouth...anyways good luck for the next attempt and hope the weather is on your side 👍
Thanks so much for the excellent review. I had been looking at the Nemo Dragonfly but I think you've swayed me. I'm 5'1 and 71 years old so it should be super roomy and the lighter the better! I also like the extra storage you showed.
