Solo Summer Overnighter | Testing, Failing, Learning

- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- With the summer solstice approaching, it was time for my next solo bikepacking overnighter. Despite feeling stressed about taking time off with our upcoming summer-long departure and being behind packing, I decided to go for it. I added a little twist to the adventure this time, but it didn’t bring the experience I was planning for!

Many thanks Bella for sharing your ups and downs and errors. I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggles to get out there but once you have and done it the reward is worth it. ❤
Finally inner peace ✌️
Solo ride is the best 🚲 🌊
Thank you Bella, enjoyed your video...
Missed you and pray all is well..
Thanks😊❤❤❤
You have managed to turn a relatively modest objective into something so thoughtful and profound. I really really enjoyed this video!
Muy bien narrado, grabado y editado, enhorabuena Belén…una lástima los mosquitos que no te dejaron disfrutar de ese rincón increíble 🙄
Muy bonito el video, lograstes el objetivo, no como uno planea pero esa es la aventura de lo inesperado, no es facil, pero al final la recompensa es grande y ahi esta la satisfaccion. felicitaciones no te rindas. saludos
You're braver than I. I was a bit jealous of that swim :) Nice adventure and it's often the good memories that stick. Next time maybe a bivy tent/bug bivy is a good compromise to safe on weight and packing volume but still be protected from the elements/bugs? Good filming by the way.
What a really nice video, so relaxing, good narration and background music. I shall look out for your further adventures. Hope you manage to avoid the bitety insects next time .
Thank you Bella. Always a lovely and warm narrative and excellent imagery. This isn’t a failure at all. It makes sound sense to adapt to the circumstances when things change. Nothing is written in stone
Well done and I look forward to seeing more from you both very soon.
Anthony
Hello Belle. For mosquitoes try maybe a jungle formula or Avon skin so soft, it may help for mosquitoes.
First of of all I’m afraid of how much energy was spent for all the footage, all of those camera set ups, focusing etc. Great job!
And very, as you said, tranquilizing vibes. I enjoyed, thanks a lot!
P.S. F**k the rules, tent required, anywhere. At least, hammock with a net.
En esta ruta vas sola lo digo por el curro de preparación al grabar, es muy buen reportaje. Me encantas vuestros videos muy bien explicados, me encanta ver heroínas en bici y sin miedo es de aplaudir 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 para octubre quiero recorrer la sierra de Cazorla desde Granada pasando por el desierto de Gorafe y dar la vuelta por la Sierra de Cazorla y tus videos me animan, Gracias de ❤
Que guay! Me encanta la zona de Cazorla, ¡que la disfrutes mucho! Y si, estoy totalmente sola así que el trabajo es mucho mayor porque tienes que ir yendo y viniendo con el trípode. ¡Pero yo me lo paso muy bien! ☺️
Bug spray or español smoke for 🦟 mosquitos...
I use off 24hrs lotion
Pero Belén, ¿a quién se le ocurre dormir en la playa en verano?, jejejeje. Suele estar infestada de mosquitos, y si además, como es mi caso, eres propenso a sus picaduras y no hay viento la cosa se torna en un infierno. Buen vídeo, como siempre. Saludos desde la terreta.
Jajaja, ¡pues a mí! Pero contaba con esas posibilidad, solo que no pensé que serían capaces de picarme a través de DOS capas de textil: el pijama de lana y la funda de algodón. ¡Unas fieras! Pero nada, nada. A la siguiente me cojo la red de la tienda de campaña por lo menos.
Vivaquear en un pico de una montaña bien porque no hay mosquitos, pero en zonas boscosas y de mar... Tienda si o si. Aunque no esté permitido... Ya le explicaré al guardia que por mi seguridad es necesario poner una tienda.
Very enjoyable! Sorry to see that you had to cancel your overnighter in the end! :-(
Another great video Belén, it's always such a joy to watch them 🚲⛺🙂👍
Your videos have such a calming effect. The perfect content to watch after a hectic day at work. Thank you.
Ohhh, thanks a lot! I love it that even though I have to push a bike or run away from a bunch of mosquitoes, it still comes out calm! Hahaha.
@@BelleToscan mosquitoes love me. I swear every time I set foot outside during summer in Australia, it’s like giving a blood transfusion. 😂
I don't recall mossies biting through clothing before I came to live in Spain. Here they often bite me through lycra. I guess in the circumstances you encountered it needs to be Deet-all-over to repel the critters! A great video Belén. Thank you.
Yeah… The Tiger mosquitoes came to Spain about a decade ago and they bite through textile very easily! I just thought that a layer of wool and another one of cotton would be enough but… definitely not! It looks like they can only not get through the thick jeans. Quite vicious!
Malditos mosquitos ☹️☹️, con la buena pinta que tenía ese rinconcito solitario. 👏👏
¿Verdad? Nada, nada, a la próxima me llevo la red de la tienda de campaña!
Think it was tough of you to leave the campsite and cycle home in the middle of the night.A well deserved coffee👍 Your videos are so clear in every aspect- very nice!
Thanks a lot! I was feeling very frustrated and kinda alarmed as I didn’t bring my long lights, so I had to cycle only with the phone light and it was super bumpy but.. Eventually I got the hang of it and calmed down. Even enjoyed the peacefullness of night riding.
An unexpected buckwheat cameo appearance 🤣
Still from you know where! 😅
Oh those damn freaking mosquitoes. They are a issue on almost every camping trip I do. Mine are still itching after 4 weeks. But I think you are so brave to do this kind of trips. And you make a beautiful story out of it! X
Thanks a lot! They looooooove me too! And I was the only thing they could feast on that evening, hahaha. But still, I guess it was naive of me to think I could camp without a tent. I see so many people doing it but there’s so many things that could go wrong”wrong”. I’ve concluded I’d rather bring my tent! 😀
@@BelleToscan haha 😆 Or sleep next to small fire, the smoke will keep them away. But guess that is not allowed in dry summer season.
Hey Belle, how are you?
I've been doing my bikepacking trips for a while now, but I always find myself with a little bout of anxiety before I venture out on the bike. Do you feel the same? How do you deal with such a situation?
Hi there! I have exactly the same before I start a trip! And as soon as I'm on the road, it cools down and practically disappears until the evening. It's mostly the uncertainty and excitement, I'd say. The strong change you know is approaching... But I never give it much importance and just allow my rational thinking to direct. =)
Mosquitos 🦟😢 I didn’t even think of that. Keep the videos coming when you can - they’re great!
I did think about them! But not the fact that they could bite through my pijamas AND liner at the same time. I did think it would be fresher though, so I was also counting on sleeping inside the sleeping bag fully. Honestly, I think that a few hundred meters more inland I would have been fine but… it wasn’t worth setting everything up again to try. The beaches can be deceiving!
