Nice little break for you Sandy, bikes are such great tools for getting that little bit further in a short space of time than you could on foot. The invention of the bicycle literally improved the gene pool 200 years ago. When people suddenly went outside the village to find a wife. A most enjoyable watch.
I'm going to do some more bike packing this year Sam. The legs are getting stronger and 30/40 milers are within easy reach now. When I was a bit younger my longest day was 118 miles and my longest overall journey was Lands end to John o groats. Cycled in 12 days back in 1992 on my old Revell Romany. I still have that bike but I prefer the more comfortable ride with the atb with fatter low pressure tyres.
Very nice ride there my friend, and as always, very nice video of it. Thanks for taking your camera along and sharing it with us. Have fun out there in the outdoors.
New to your channel- this came up randomly in my RUclips “recommended” feed, and I’m so glad it did! You and your lovely environment and fun adventure were thoroughly enjoyable! Thanks so much for sharing! 💐
It is great the extra range a bike will take you whilst remaining semi stealthy without much noise. Nice adventure Sandy. Liked the bit at the end, Ive got my wife programmed to make the coffee automatically now without asking. Only took 6 years but she’s got the hang of it now. 😂😁
Bike's the way to do it Sandy..... fit panniers and get the weight off of your back, far more comfortable. I fit nearly all of my usual wild camping gear on my bike without going too lightweight. Can't manage without a small gas stove and coffee in the morning though! Great mini adventure, enjoyed joining you via youtube again. ATB Andy.
Cracking little adventure there Sandy - You got a stunning morning . Bicycles really are such a great way to get around and see so much . I'm almost 52 now myself and I've never been without a bike , long may that continue to be the case . All the best , Neil .
Really enjoyed that! Thanks for taking us along walked that old railway with my dogs. never gone all the way to Malborough though. I also have a bike but its crossbreed tyres are to thin to go on stony paths, I would like another bike so we can go on more paths.
We have so much in common, Sandy ! I also have a bike that I've had for years but no used as much as I should, but I do intend to. I really enjoyed your mini adventure. What a beautiful place Savernake is. Not many people could have identified the muntjac from it's call. I bet that would have scared the what-not out of some people ! All the best, Pete
Great film sandy. Iv'e had my eye on Savernake forest for a camp next time i'm cycling the K&A canal. its one of my faves and not been down that way for a while. Looks great for a camp, and that old railway looks handy for a possible link up with the Ridgeway. Thanks for the info. Gary,
Wiltshire Man very true, perhaps just a "landmark gradient marker" (my own term!) then or something like that used with mapping perhaps? would be nice to know tho!
I'm from Swindon , you're channel popped up in my feed , great videos I really enjoy them especially the bike packing ones. I'm cycling from France to Spain next year. Hence I'm always looking for tips in other ppls videos.
Another fine video Sandy. It was a pleasure to view. First time I heard a deer communicate like that. It was a great adventure. Also your editing was spot on. Thanks for sharing. Tony
With all the D-Day commemorations taking place this little mini adventure reminds me of those push bikes being dropped by plane and being cycled off down tracks and into hidey holes. Radios being set up sending messages back to Blighty or guiding in allied planes. Bikes are a fantastic much underrated way to get about. Maybe add panniers to your rack and take some load off your shoulders, could add a tiny stove then for some warm brew to go with your cold food. All the best Sandy, look forward to seeing more bike adventures!
Great stuff sandy. Love ur work mate. A man after my own heart. Love u like u was my kin.I hope that when your horse comes in that its a long shot and it wins. Cheers.
Did it Sandy, thanks to your inspiration mate. Epic night out in the Cairngorms, Bob Scott’s Bothy in my old army bivvi bag. Stags, red squirrels, eagle, shooting stars. 6 mile hike. Finished with a full Scottish breakfast in Braemar. Wonderful.
Another cracking trip you had there Sandy, really peaceful mate, apart form the deer ! Still it stayed dry for you which is always a bounce. Thanks for sharing Sandy, here's to many more. Hoora !
Nice 1 sandy . Your starting to see the enjoyment of bike camping. .I laughed when the deer woke you up as the same happened to the 3 weeks ago. 😂 I barked back as it gave me a bit of a scare. 😂 I tend to use my bivvi bag and tarp set up. Great video. 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi agn Sandy, another great video, its great that you are still healthy enough to pursue these adventures. and that we (the not too active ones!)can travel along with you. Just got thru working some cw on 6m opening here in the states, short but nice opening and topped it off with this excellent ride with you. Thanks for taking the time, and thanks for sharing it with us. 73 gud dx God Bless.de Ellis WA1RKS
Hi Bill, it's good trail food and cheap but will do something different on the next adventure I guess. Well you got me out on the bike after all the e bike talk we had on our recent walk. I actually made quite good progress even though no motor assist. Average speed was 8mph and max was 28 measured over 40 miles and yes the hills and wind did slow me but using the gears and it wasn't so hard. Didn't have any battery to worry about either. Still would like an e bike though:) Sandy

Nice to watch someone who isn’t constantly waiting for perfect conditions before starting living. 👍

Your welcome John. Thankyou:)
Hi Sandy, Enormous viewing pleasure in all your videos. Thank you for all your efforts to bring us interesting material. Superb.
Cool camping trip! That noise would have scared the bejesus out of me in the morning.
New watcher here from Arizona, USA. That looks like a lovely area to keep your mind and body healthy and energize your soul.
Haunting sound to be woken by with that muntjac. Beautiful spot tho, another great video thanks Sandy :-)
Very nice ride there my friend, and as always, very nice video of it. Thanks for taking your camera along and sharing it with us. Have fun out there in the outdoors.
Beautiful countryside, thanks for sharing. You've inspired me.
GREAT JOB! Enjoyed the video, cant wait for the next adventure!
Thankyou Gem
nice peaceful video, thanks for sharing.
just found your channel loved the vid, never too old to enjoy cycling
Another great video Sandy, that funny looking pyramid would have been a mile marker for the railway.
Nicely done, what a great little adventure...

Spectacular Sandy, good company good views good food ( that might be pushing it) ! Alb.... Cam
LOL. The food was "cool":)
Super, mini adventure & video Sandy, If you're not careful, your coffee maker will be grinding "YOUR" beans ;)
That would be nice Les. I would like that. Would make some pretty strong coffee too:)
;)
Again another inspirational adventure
Inspiring Sandy. I am thankful you take the time to share your adventures with us.

LOL it took me a lot longer. Been married for 32 years now!!!!
Very enjoyable video. Thanks

Bicycle freedom enabled adventure at its best!
Nice video, cycle trip and camp Sandy. Thanks for sharing. Take care. D.
Really enjoyed that!
Thanks for taking us along walked that old railway with my dogs. never gone all the way to Malborough though.
I also have a bike but its crossbreed tyres are to thin to go on stony paths, I would like another bike so we can go on more paths.
Hi Cider. Get on that bike and take it steady. It will do you good.
We have so much in common, Sandy ! I also have a bike that I've had for years but no used as much as I should, but I do intend to. I really enjoyed your mini adventure.

Hope you can get out on your bike to Pete.
@@WiltshireManThanks Sandy, Me too ! Got a few hills here in Cumbria but luckily I live by the sea and there's not much of a slope on the promenade .
Nicely done Sandy, great adventure.
Great film sandy.
Iv'e had my eye on Savernake forest for a camp next time i'm cycling the K&A canal. its one of my faves and not been down that way for a while.
Looks great for a camp, and that old railway looks handy for a possible link up with the Ridgeway.
Thanks for the info.
Gary,
Hi Gary. Definitely check out the sustrans route for the Ridgeway link.
What a lovely put together video great to see what’s out there shame about the food but hats off too you sir fantastic camp 😊
I will try and improve the food for the next one:)
Great bike “ride” and stealth overnighter. Enjoyable as always. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Sandy for a trip down memory lane, I grew up in Newbury & have fond memories of exploring Savernake . Matt from Australia
Thank you, Sandy...wonderful tour!
i think the pyramid thingie on the bike path was a navigation trig point. lovely views
Hi Geoff, It may have been but this was so much taller than normal trig points. So much so that you couldn't see the top of it!
Wiltshire Man very true, perhaps just a "landmark gradient marker" (my own term!) then or something like that used with mapping perhaps? would be nice to know tho!
Great micro adventure. I would like to have so wonderful places like that here in Poland. Supperb 👍
That’s chilled me out after a tough day. Thank you for the escape Sandy

Thanks Stan.
Nice video Sandy, nothing like leg power and easy to forget the great bike days out when we were kids. Arthur (UK)
Excellent mini adventure Sandy. I hope to be doing one in the near future ;) Good idea with the couscous and mackerel.
Cooking this way Paul and you will never run out of fuel:) I must say though there is something nice about hot food!
@@WiltshireMan You will come up with a super light system for the next one ;)
2nd video of yours tonight Sandy. Your a braver man than me, you've just gained another subscriber.

Excellent overnight trip Sandy. 👍😎
Always good to see you out n about Sandy. ATB Paul 👍🏻🚴
Right. I’m getting myself into the Cairngorms this weekend. You keep inspiring me to get out and do stuff.
LOL welldone Steve. Go for it. Get some fresh air in your lungs:)
Did it Sandy, thanks to your inspiration mate. Epic night out in the Cairngorms, Bob Scott’s Bothy in my old army bivvi bag. Stags, red squirrels, eagle, shooting stars. 6 mile hike. Finished with a full Scottish breakfast in Braemar. Wonderful.
That sounds great Steve. I need to get myself upto Scotland. Home of my ancestors:)
Wonderful video Sandy! You seem to be doing the things I always think about but never do. High time I change that.. ATB Marc - Belgium
Go for it Marc. Live the dream.

Nice 1 sandy . Your starting to see the enjoyment of bike camping. .I laughed when the deer woke you up as the same happened to the 3 weeks ago. 😂 I barked back as it gave me a bit of a scare. 😂 I tend to use my bivvi bag and tarp set up. Great video. 👍👍👍👍👍
Not sure i have seen you out on the bike before Sandy. What colours hey, lovely and green. I do envy that. Cheers to ya.
Good video Sandy. Just goes to show that some of us older ones still have it.
Looks like a good time!

Great vid, live very near there (Axford) and it was great to see you enjoy the area
Hi Tim Axford is a nice place. Been through it a few times. A friend used to keep bee's there many years ago.
Just a brilliant blog sandy, hope to see many more. Visiting workshops,.Hopefully, one of many. From your push bike. Cheers
Great film thanks.
Love how you keep your bike lid on when eating your scoff...👍
You inspired me to get outdoors! Took my seakayak for a 3 hour splash on this windy day. Thanks es 73s
I've been thinking of getting a bike for a while now. This further inspires me to do it. 😎 👍
Get a bike Damian. You can travel so far and see so much. You will love it.
Great video mate i am getting right into STEALTH camping now ,,

Bikes are great. ..cheers sandy
