Wales scenery reminds me a little of NZ albeit slightly tamer but better pubs I'm sure. Check out the Tour te Waipounamu Juliet, TTW#4 starts 25 January 2026.
How big are the biggest files you got from the X4? i would like to run it with a powered selfiestick for up to 4 hours roadtrip with the gps data in 1 file instead of many 30min, like on my X3. Tnx.
Miss Juliet. Thank you very much for a lovely video. I was really bummed out over the no swimming sign. I do love the tent. Looks roomy. Looking forward to your next post. Was on travel for my job and now playing catch up on videos
That water looks cold...! Great video - thanks for sharing! Are you clipping in to your pedals, or using flat pedals? I guess the latter is nicer when you have to walk sections, but clipping in is better for riding?
Nuclear power station... Not Hydroelectric. It is being decommissioned, and (I think) it will be buried in slate as this is cheaper than properly decommissioning it :(
I took an optional singletrack section on a bikepacking trip last week, and it was very muddy, rooty, and with a bunch of downed trees that we had to lift our bikes over. It was a blast, but definitely not what we thought we were going to encounter. It was a super fun trip! I can thank you two for inspiring me to get out there. Good to see you're at it again.
I like this apart from the camping bit, this old body 70 just cannot fall asleep on hard ground no more. 5 star hotels with a room too myself, sometimes I'll rough it in a 4 star.
Have you considered bikecamping Hadrian's Wall. You would have two big opportunities to dip in the water East side and finally the West side. there are videos of others who have ridden it and wild camped along the way just off the wall area. It seems a really cool ride. Logistics would be one aspect to overcome, possibly having a vehicle on each side. Anyway, just an idea. Your videos and experiences are great. Thanks for all your shared adventures :-)
Well… Laura said she’d rather be on a gravel bike due to the road segments. But that if you weren’t a mountain biker or confident, you could find the gravel bike tricky on some segments
Thanks for getting these videos out so quickly! Perfect timing for my trip this week. I think you had better weather than we're going to get though! Never mind!
Pro tip for such adventures: create a profile on your bike computer and leave out speed + average and just enjoy the ride at your pace. Then you won't feel preasure by numbers in your head. You can look it up afterwards... I found it made me much more relaxed and I'm able to take in the environment better. 😉
