I've done three trips to Dorset this week. Over 1,000 miles. I used my Honda NC750X yesterday. I reset the trip before I came home and rode back "making progress". It still managed 75mpg!

@ontheroadadventure 13 дней назад

Thats very impressive, More economical bikes do make sense, thats why the mid size bikes seem to be growing in popularity, people are looking for ways to keep the wheels going round

@johnimmins7302 12 дней назад

That campsite dinner looked great, I remember when you did your first camp & cook. How you have progressed, you'll be doing your own camp cooking program next! 🤣🤣👍🏍

@ontheroadadventure 12 дней назад

Yeah we knew we sucked at this when we started so the best way to get good at something is to go all in…. Sink or swim style!

Nice trip to the Island. Used to go there regularly, plenty to see and do and great if you have younger kids. You just have to remember it's a timewarp back to the 90s :D

@davidtomkins1514 13 дней назад

Always love it when you finish the day with a big plate of camp cooking. Sausage spuds beans and gravy best comfort food ever. On a personal level I'd swap the green beans for the baked variety but still with the gravy. Keep on travelling camping cooking and making me smile.😊

@ontheroadadventure 13 дней назад

Thanks Dave, We love food as much as riding our bikes, its all part of the experience motocamping... I think we enjoy the challenge of it all

@mrcintheuk4641 13 дней назад

Let's face it, it's just not the IoW that's past its best. I think you could apply that to a lot of England and possibly the rest of the UK. Those sausages looked absolutely delicious! 😋😋😋

@ontheroadadventure 13 дней назад

Sadly I think you could be right. Uk holiday destinations especially now suffer massively as it’s cheaper to fly to somewhere ice than to go to the uk seaside!

@steverussell9340 13 дней назад

Great presentation guys. Would be interested in a summary of the costs / mileage ,overall impressions of the adventure of your Spanish journey

@ontheroadadventure 13 дней назад

I’d say camping £30per night, one tank of fuel on the island will do you fine! The island is about 22 miles across. Ferry is about £30per bike each way. If you’ve not been before you should go 👍

Take a small G-clamp or rock/luggage strap with you for showers like that. You can then shower for as long as you like without interruption in flow.

Stayed 2 nights in Nowy Sacz, Poland recently. It was certainly different from anywhere else I’ve visited in the last 3 weeks on the road. A bit dilapidated and grey and that wasn’t just the people. Few people acknowledge you on the street. A different experience.🏍

@ontheroadadventure 12 дней назад

Interesting. Did you enjoy your tour to Poland overall?

@barrywaples8150 12 дней назад

@@ontheroadadventure It was only 2 days in & out because I was at the border. The scenery around the High Tatras mountains is fabulous whilst the standards of roads varied. Petrol readily available & generally cheaper than Uk. Never far from a Lidl supermarket with familiar foods at silly low prices. What’s not to like. Apart from the recent heatwave.About a week of mid 30c. Croc on 😎🏍

Currently in Croatia, which is hot with an amazing coastline. Backup through Slovenia and Austria to Czech Republic before home via Germany and the Ardennes, with a certain hotel in Bastogne being our traditional last night. Some great riding, great local alcohol free beers and superb sea food. Highly recommended. Ride safe, onwards 👍

@ontheroadadventure 13 дней назад

You recommend Croatia then? Its suppose to get mega hot and stormy in europe next week i think

@teneretraveller8980 13 дней назад

@@ontheroadadventure the Adriatic Highway is an amazing sight. But the big cities on the coast are too much for me. I like quieter, and it's less expensive inland. I think Slovenia is perhaps better riding, and of course Austria is fabulous as we all know. We usually lay over in Innsbruck for a few days. Great to loop out from. Can't pick the weather or we'd never travel. I'm addicted to big mountains. Ride safe.
