    Juliet, I use a similar frame bag setup. I use one of those retractable badge holders to attach my hydration hose to my front loader, so I can just pull the bite valve up to my mouth and then it snaps back into place. Works great!

    Very enjoyable video! Can confirm that The Castle in Lydford is indeed a very nice pub. There's also some great wild swimming on the Lyd just a bit further up the moor from where you parked.

    It's great when mini adventures are about quality rather than quantity, riding alone for hours or days I do quite a lot so when I can coax my daughters and son to ride along, it doesn't matter about Strava or doing big mileage, it's the time that we spend together in the moment.

  • @kitkat5153
    @kitkat5153 3 года назад +3

    Lol, the last thing I’d expect when camping in a remote place would be a line of soldiers walking right past me first thing in the morning to go and stand in the bathing spot. 😂 What a fantastic trip overall!

    It’s worth the trip from Notts alone! 😋

  • @svphasetwo
    @svphasetwo 3 года назад +1

    Plymouth - ilfracombe - it's almost 100 miles to the dot... great pubs en route and doable in a day, but save some pasty for the push up the hill from ( I think it's ) Braunton... it's a killer

  • @lindy-loumaddock5979
    @lindy-loumaddock5979 3 года назад +1

    When I'm out, it's always when I'm changing that group of people turn up, even though we could be in the middle of nowhere! I was on a deserted beach, and a whole football squad came by on a training run! When I saw the soldiers, I nearly spat my tea out in hilarity!! 😁😉

    Hi Juliet, I was wondering. You are wearing the whoop band, would you from a "training coach, body battery, recovery"- perspective say that it is on par with an activity watch such as garmin / polar? I can't find anyone on the internet that has a definitive perspective on this. Everybody just talk about the price, and the fact is a fenix 6x cost as much as 3 years worth of subscription of whoop. Can't imagine anyone want to own the same product for longer than that anyway. Also, love your videos, as a novice it gets me off my bum to go out ride my bikes.

    Could you recommend to an almost 20 stone middle aged man, wanting to do more cycling, a comfy saddle. The one I have starts causing me so much pain after and hour it’s almost unbearable. Any help appreciated.

      I don't think I am wrong. Back I'm my mountain biking days I definitely remember being told off by a Dartmoor ranger, and he was pretty insistent that only BOATS and bridleways were on the menu. And anyway, that's a delicate ecosystem that is already under unprecedented pressure from increased visitor numbers that you're trashing under your wheels, so pardon me for saying that whether I'm right or wrong in the eyes of the law, riding on the open moor is irresponsible and you should stop doing it. There's bloody tons of places to cycle in the south west that aren't churning up irreplaceable landscape.

    • @Headin_South
