Hi, thanks for the input of the video. I’m actually planning to hike the South Island NOBO in February. Do you have any notes of the content from the video or in general? Thank you so much! 💪🏻💪🏻
Amazing video & You are really doing well. But I noticed that the videos on your RUclips channel are not well SEO (search engine optimization). Your SEO score is low. That's why your videos are not able to reach a larger audience.
Wat to go Guy. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too. Next stop the Fred Whitton ride.
Thanks! It is on my list to do in 2025 😁
We as a people don't "like biking", we use it as a convenient mode of transportation.
Great job Guy. Tramping is not as cheap as it looks. I just subtracted your flight from the total and divided that by 60 and ended up roughly with 44 pound per day. More than expected but good to know.
Thanks! Yes NZ can be expensive in certain aspects.
Enjoyed ur video of the Nertherlands, I was there in 98, want to go back but haven't been able to... subbed..
Never knew the mersey went to manchester i thought it stopped on the wirral
Yes! It starts in Stockport and flows through Manchester. Not quite as famous as the Wirral / Liverpool part of the Mersey!
Stunning filming and storytelling man! Amazing work
Thanks mate! Your channel looks incredible
Yes, the Tyne is a very big and long river. I was surprised when I cycled the Hadrian's Wall cycleway this year. There's hardly any wall along the cycleway. I might do the walk next year, if only to meet all the cows and sheep.
Definitely give the walk a go! I may swap and do the cycle at some point then.
Will you be putting up any videos of your TA adventure?
Unfortunately there's only my YT Shorts for my TA adventure. I only started the long form videos since getting back from NZ.
Hi Guy, what a fantastic video, I want to tour next summer, approximately how much would it cost to hire a bike with equipment for a week, I won't necessarily need a Koga, cheers, Rob
Thanks! Very affordable, I hired the bike and panniers together for around £140 for 6 days. I used MacBike in Amsterdam
Did it up Helvellyn.
Great route!
Think I met you on the trip, Was going SOBO myself, stayed at a hunters lodge, can't remember the name but it was one of the largest lodges on the route... There was two, two other SOBOs, one of whom I played rock paper scissors with for a spare pole. The hunters went for a morning hunt but came back empty handed, and one of the SOBOs (the girl) just have had about 25kg in their bag! ( Including fairy lights) Remember those sandals gotta say!
Hahaha yes we did. I remember that clearly at the lodge with the hunters! Great memories 😁
love the stoic in you!
Best way to live!
Fantastic Guy. Looks epic out there
Thanks - it was!
Brilliant episode my friend! Simply amazing 🔥🔥
Thanks!
Thats were they made Robin Hood with kevin costner
Yes that's right!
you said Amsterdam... not Emsterdem... you made my day...
Great video! We go there often and have visited many of the places you went to. We take our own bikes on the ferry from Harwich which is very pleasant. The weather can be a bit dodgy in June (as you found :) July and August generally better. Friesland (where you went) is very nice and you can also pop over into Ostfriesland in Germany (very quiet and very friendly place). Especially nice to go there in July/August when it's often too hot in more "traditional" holiday destinations. Another good route is to go down into Zeeland particularly because you can ride over and marvel at all the infrastructure they have to stop their country getting flooded in storm surges.
Thanks for the tips!
Did you know the organisation " Vrienden op de fiets " you can stay overnight by people that cycle as well for not much money. Becomming a member is worth it.
Thanks for the advice, I didn't know about this at the time.
Funny thing is you DO look German to us Dutch...
Haha fair enough 😂
You pronounce the Dutch stuff very good and i am impressed. What a nice tour! You picked the best routes. Just go north of Amsterdam, then east to Friesland and Groningen and you'll have a fantastic bike holiday, i think.
Very glad to hear my pronunciation was okay 😊
love this!
Thanks!
Ooh cool to see! I got stuck in snow at Royal Hut! Hope to go back one day and fill in the gap!
You missed groningen..pitty 😊
Nice video. I've watched quite a few videos from Brits cycling in my small country: couples, whole families with their children and yes also single young men like you. Needless to say I'm very proud about our cycle infrastructure. Anyway these videos motivate me to join warmshowers as a host if it wasn´t that commercial. I think I join "vriendenopdefiets" even though there are quite a few hosts nearby already
That sounds great, thanks for sharing!
The cycle path along the Afsluitdijk opened up (for most of the way) just after you were there... 😐
Probably a good thing it was closed or else I would have had an even longer cycle that day haha
@@guyconlon It's a lot of fun to ride over it :) So long as it isn't raining.
Great route. Drenthe/ Dwingelerveld is a great choise. Also Gelderland/Veluwe is very nice. I like that you picked the routes away from car trafic. Also Kampen, where I live, is nice. Well done. I can recomend the weerribben out of season, otherwise it's to touristy. We also have a system called "Fietsknooppunt" It's a great way to find the better biking routes. Thanks.
Don’t wear a helmet mate, you look like a stupid tourist
Holland is i think one on the best for bikes.
Bro why did you get an american bike bro it doesnt look anything near any bike you see in amsterdam how did you not notice
The bike is a Koga which is Dutch made. It's a tourer, so it is a bit different from a classic city bike.
Excellent country to cycle. I cycled LF Maasroute in June. Maastricht to Rotterdam. Recommend. 👍🇳🇱🚵🏼♂️
in that hills the duinen is something inside ;)
Funny how someone with a helmet on tries to advice others how to cycle in The Netherlands... Its like someone from India telling you how to make a hamburger...!
Observations and discussion points don't necessarily equate to advice
@@suburbia2050 Likewise...
@@suburbia2050 When the video is called "a guide to.." it surely is an attempt to give advice, isn't it?!
Hey nitwit, he addresses this in the video.
We have this thing called recycling in Amsterdam, if someone steals your stolen bike, you steal an other one.
They think you are German because you look Saxon. And you are small.
Kroon with an oo as in go not an oe as in shoe Crown domain = royal forrest.
Thanks for the tip!
There is no sh sound in Fries land the land of the frees.
You love saying The Netherlands don't you? 😄
Thanks for correctly naming our country! It is indeed the Netherlands and not Holland. If you like cycling, our country is ideal. Flat and bike lanes everywhere. You would probably get blown of the dyke riding a bike.
I'am very pleased to hear that you enjoyed cycling in The Netherlands so much 😊👍Greetings from The Netherlands 🌷
Thanks for watching!
Nice video! I'm originally from UK, but now live in NL, and am always happy to see people enjoying cycling here. A couple of tips: 1. If you don't want to camp or pay a lot for accommodation, Vrienden op de Fiets is a good place to find cheap accommodation, a bit like AirB&B, but with a set price, and specifically for cyclists and walkers. (The web site is also in English.) 2. Not sure where to go? Try one or two of the LF routes, long distance cycle paths that follow scenic and interesting routes. My own favourite is the LF3 Hanzeroute, that takes you through all of the old Hanseatic cities along the river Ijssel - including Kampen, which I agree is a lovely place.
Thanks for these tips! Very useful.
Great video and very informative. Thanks Jeff
I'm living in Lelystad and I'm having 2 bikes: an old 14 speed road bike and a 8 speed Alfine tour bike for every day use. On my road bike I usually go like 25km/h, so I wear a helmet, which is custom in The Netherlands for that type of bike. A helmet in that case is not mandatory, but it is if you join organized cycling events. On the other bike my speed is about 20.5km/h average and then I don't wear a helmet. Usually I greet people when outside the city (situational: eye contact) and when people are walking on the path then I ring my bell well in advance, reduce speed and thank the people for making way: just normal politeness.
Thanks for this, it's useful to understand that it's more frequent to wear a helmet when doing 'proper' road cycling. Which of course makes sense!
@@guyconlon we call those 'racefiets' So yeah, Dutch people do wear helmets if they do sport biking.. either Tour de France style, or mountainbike, or BMX . they just don't wear helmets for daily commutes or other local errants
Thank you so much Guy! You have answered to all my questions and motivate me to go to Netherlands for a tour the coming year. Thanks!😀 Pavlos
Awesome! That's the goal of these videos. Enjoy!
Happy to have you pavlos! Just make sure to include provinces Gelderland and Overijssel (nice and green, lots of nature) Limburg (really hilly if that's your cup of tea).
Kampen is a very old city. Part of the Hansaetic league, that spanned across Northern Europe and the baltics. Nowadays it is small, but back in the later part of the Middle Ages it was a major trade center.
Really interesting, thanks for sharing! I did not know.
The South of the country is also very beautiful 😉
Maybe a future trip for me then!
Or the Veluwe
Nice to see this through the eyes of a foreigner. Likewise I enjoyed my cycling in the English Lake District 55 odd years ago.
Headwind what headwind😂
Great video Guy!! Thanks for sharing! You have a very positive attitude! I am planning to do something similar. Could you recomend a bike shop for renting a bicycle? Did you book yours on line? Thanks, Pavlos.
Thanks! Yes I used MacBikes in Amsterdam, check out their tourer bike. I'll be releasing a new video shortly talking about my experience, logistics etc.
@@guyconlon Thanks! That would be very useful because I will be travelling from Cyprus, so I have to be well prepared!😀
