I cycled out to a fairly remote piece of woodland for a quick ovenighter. Packed very minimalist for this one as it was a "Last minute" planned adventure. No stove, Just water and a pork pie:)
For some unknown reason youtube is de subscribing some subscribers from my channel, this info came to me by a good friend who was subscribed then had to re subscribe again, not only once but several times!! So just check your subscription status and if your not subscribed then please do, without subscriptions and views and comments this youtube channel like any other won't survive, it will get pushed down the ladder whereas some other channels that seem to put out utter dross seem to flourish (just an observation). It's a bit like the TV where soap opera's did very well (to the detriment of the family and how people behave) instead of promoting healthy positive content. youtube have this dreadful thing called an algorythm and it has to be pleased unfortunately
The Bingley Wheeler has had this issue and thinx it's when people are watching on their tv's not their other devices or something. Some of the buttons are hidden.
That was a nice gesture from the lady who stopped to see if you we're ok Sandy 💛 A bit a of a clarty ride in though and beautiful footage 👌 well that pork pie scene had me salivating Sandy 😋 And the meteorological 1st of March ,, is my Birthday Sandy 🙌🍻👍👌
I'm just turning 77 years & I still so love my bicycle riding sir! My bicycle is my gymnasium & although it may take me twice as long to go half as far as I did 12 years ago it dont matter as out & about through the forest is good for the soul as well as body! I may not feel like going out sometimes but once I;m out I ride through my aches n pains , feeling so much better having done so ! Thank you for another video report Sir!
The kind lady who stopped to check on you is a Super-Star in my book! Thanks so much for taking us on another adventure and sharing your beautiful homeland and your beautiful soul. You're a great inspiration, friend... Cheers!
As a cyclist, I have often had other cyclists ask me if I'm OK if I've stopped by the side of the road for some reason. Perhaps it's partly because I'm female and of an age when they think I wouldn't be able to manage if something had gone wrong! But I think it's just a thing that cyclists do anyway - offer each other help. I think it's lovely. I have done it myself.
Another lovely adventure camp...come rain or shine Sandy will have an enjoyable outing and in the process spice it up with interesting historical things to see. Thank you Sandy for sharing👌🏻
I admire your pluck Sandy. I originally found your channel when seeking reviews of the Woods Walker stove. I have visited from time to time ever since. Your channel and "Simon, a Bloke In The Woods" are two of my favorites producing outdoors content from the British Isles.
Superb night stills from the Go-Pro! You're much better than me at seizing the opportunity to get out there I love pork pie's too 😊 Happy Springtime! 🌱🌿(...and by god, do we need it!) Thanks for sharing, Sandy
Hey Sandy ... Greath RESPECT !!!! ... for this journy .... i keep follow your adventures ... and i love it !! grtz. Janneman from Holland ( Eindhoven) ...
Hi Dan, I did hear a beep but didn't know who it was:) Hope your doing OK? I was heading out when I was stood by the fire station to Four mile clump, I know you have been there in the past too when you did a cook out on the folding firebox stove i think.
Nice adventure, another good video. I’m afraid to admit I have never had the opportunity to enjoy a real pork pie over here in the U.S. They sound delicious. Hope you made it home without getting a real chill. Downhill in the rain is nice if you’re heading home, but can really freeze you. Happy Meteorological Spring.
Enjoy your adventures, just read that you’re a Ham radio operator, So am I. I am Doug, KC5UUS. I’m able to work England some from Oklahoma,I just worked Ireland yesterday on20 mtr. Be fun to work ya sometime..
another evocative video - of old songs - maybe old trees. A movie Queen - Gordon LightFoot ( if i could read your mind) Through the Avenues and Alley ways (of Swindon) - theme tune from The Protectors - starring Robert Vaughn. i thought it was sung by Tony Monopoly but it was Tony Christie. That slime mud is called ' black peanut butter ' round here.
Really enjoyed this little ride out Sandy, puts me to shame it do! Well truth is I'm not much of a bike man I rather the walk, but I know you love your bike adventures. Great video bud as always , keep up the good work mate, and I'm convinced I'm going to bump in to on one of the bridleways or walks through Wiltshire one day. I spend enough time up there. I had a sneaky wild camp at Bradbury castle over winter once with a good friend of mine and that night the sky was stunning, I'll never forget that night. Look forward to the next instalment of the adventure of the Wiltshire man, Regards Moose P.S, Now where did I leave that pork pie ?
Bloody brilliant sandy, your vids are just awesome love them lots ❤❤❤ your face with that pork pie 😂😂😂 you would love it over our way. We have an amazing butchers and they have a deli which sells a 2LB pork pie ! You have to pre order as it’s made fresh on the premises as is their sausage rolls and scotch eggs. Not tried one yet but in the summer I’m definitely going in to get some things for a BBQ. ❤❤❤❤ loved last summer just a shame we were so busy trying to get sorted. 😊😊 love to all the family carmen and zeta 🥰🥰
I was going to say that all we have had recently is wind and rain, so you are lucky...until half 6 haha....sounded cold too!! You could have taken a flask of slurpy, or the means to boil some water for breakfast...a hot drink is a must [in my mind]. Welcome to spring. Life is good, and good gets better....
I did mis my morning Slurpy Bry but I was back home by 8AM and Manfy made me a lovely coffee:) Maybe take a small lightweight stove next time though. Yes Good get Better:)
It was lovely to be out Steve despite the wet and cold weather, Opportunities must be taken when the present especially as we get older! The Panniers have been a great asset to me:)
Great to see you out how many miles was that,nice drone footage I've brought one a dji mini 4 Pro only flown it once but looking foward to getting out on my harley with it
Hi sandy you speak a lot of sense every one needs to get away to chill out from time to time so I am going to Aldbourne for a night out all the way from North Devon really looking forward to it your video are so very enjoyable
The beautiful owl sound always tug at my heart strings, the music with drone shots was wonderful Sandy. Very muddy but well worth venturing out. Thank you for another lovely video. That lady was kind. We love pork pies but I’d have to have some chutney with me😊
I've gone in that wood numerous times, Sandy, as a rest stop (brew and cake) when I do a big 11-mile circular walk , always wanted to camp there.. And I swear your pannier dropped a foot when you plopped that behemoth of a pork pie in it.. Great watch as always, Sandy..
Cheers Joe:) It's a lovely woodland for sure and plenty of nice flat ground at the far end of the wood, ideal camping spots there. I don't tend to hike as much now due to a degenerative condition in the right hip but thankfully cycling isn't an issue, it's always good to get out. The Pork pie was lovely:)
I’m still subbed Sandy 👍 that was pretty minimalist ! I couldn’t go without my stove for a brew. It looked bloody muddy up in those hills , roll spring and some warmer weather . Atb Dave
Probably people don't appreciate how much stopping & starting is involved (retrieving camera) in making a vid.....I had a pork pie for lunch on sat, ruined it with small chunk chutney (very tart)....and to finish.....its nice the sound of rain on a tent, watched this vid @ 2.30am Sunday.
Another fabulous video, Sandy. I'm glad you enjoyed your pork pie 🥧 ,but it's definitely not for me, as I'm vegetarian. 🤢 I'm glad you enjoyed your bike ride. 🌳
You are such a “trooper” Sandy. The weather isn’t going to stop you from getting out into the great outdoors. What a kind lady stopping to make sure you were alright👍👍. Take care, stay safe, well and happy 💕💕. Judy🇨🇦🇨🇦
How wonderful Sandy that you have illustrated how our mostly lovely country is waking from it's Winter slumber, even if, with all that mud and flooding, it does seem to have had a bad case of enuresis this time around. Amazing where a Pork Pie will lead you....I wonder where a Cornish Pasty would take you? 😁
Yep all looks good my end bro, that's odd about your subscribers. Enjoyed this video too. Still getting nice days here which is a complete contrast to last year being mostly wet. Safe travels. Ken.
Nice one Sandy, good to see you're still fit enough to ride your Bootzipper. Ebikes and motorcycles only for me these days. Now its spring, really looking forward to some dryer weather, these past few months have seemed like nothing but rain, rain and yet more rain.
Wow I get to go on a camp about with you and get the results the same day! on YT Great! And once again our two locals link. (Jacob's Ladder) there an steep graded trail way here in Western Mas. Berkshire county in the town of Becket ma. is where Our Jacob's ladder sister location is. But its a paved road here leading to an Art Dancing School is it's claim to fame. Boy ! that Pie looked scrumptious! thanks for another great adventure Sandy es 73 CUDTL???? still waiting for our QSO. de Ellis WA1RKS
Just moved out to Wiltshire and got my Bootzipper a few weeks ago. Can't wait to find a localish spot to go cook some sausages and maybe do an overnighter!
Took some risks there leaving your camera on floor through Gorse Hill and Manchester Rd 😂😂😂 I was brought up in Gorse Hill so nice to see it. Great trip 👍
That's one we'll deserved pork pie Sandy. Crickey what a battle to get there! The weather seems to be relentles with the rain for months now,so I hope you get better luck next time. Take care. Best wishes, P & M .
Stand and deliver yon pork pie that i doth spy. You are a gun Sandy, thanks for taking me for a spin through familier territory even though 50 years n a bit has passed since last felt it n smelt it. Best wishes from Robert another Wiltshire boy in NZ
Shame the down town back alley is strewn with litter and that this isn't a surprise. Hate litter and sad so many think it's acceptable to leave places like that. The pitch for the night however...beautiful spot
Thanks for your hard work in making these videos Sandy, it must take twice as long having to go back and get the camera every time. Really enjoy watching and it takes my mind off these mad times we live in now.
Your camping videos are comforting regardless of weather conditions. The UK countryside and the way it’s presented really does the trick for me here in California. Roll on Wiltshire Man!
I tasted that pork pie 😂 taste vision viewing! I believe it was the wettest Feb recorded. There's nowhere left for water to go! Well done for camping and taking us with you.
i liked the bit of history of that road im like you i think of stuff like that what it would be like a hundred yrs ago interesting glad you enjoyed the camp as much as we did not long came off a wild camp up on ashhurst beacon by were i live in west lancashire and hey your a ham radio operator like me did you hear about poor bob heil he died yesterday i think i heared before arr we will miss him and anyway can,t wait to see the next camp 73 from m7byf 😊oh and when i go camping i go on my 50 mph e,scooter lol
Hi Austie, yes, I think it's very interesting to reflect on the people and what it was like in years gone by, probably a whole world different to today. Sorry to hear about Bob Heil, my activities are just CW only, I think Bob was known for the microphones?
Great video Sandy,they're medicinal,as others have said nice for the woman to ask if you were ok,pork pie=👑king of pies,just added one to the shopping list
Thanks, Sandy. Lots to enjoy in this first video of Spring 2024. That was some hill to ascend and descend! I admit to laughing when you lunged at the pork pie, but a good pie is a beautiful source of energy. I really appreciate how you capture the detail and the grandeur of the landscape. As to low light filming, there seems to be an emerging view that the Insta 360 out-performs the Go Pro by quite a margin.
Early season camping and fishing always means the best is yet to come. My weather here is like a yoyo Sandy. Down below freezing today then 75 F two days from now. Had hail big as marbles two nights ago. Looks like you are having some more wet weather too. I wonder what else spring has in store for us.
