- Thanks Everyone for watching:)
I didn't go hungry on this one!
Thanks to Shane for the lovely food and beers shared:)
A simple Bivi Camp in the local permission woodland,
I used the RAB Ridge raider Bivi which I really like, I've had a couple of great nights in it now but not tested it yet in heavy rain, I'm sure the opportunity will occur sooner or later:)
I rode to and from camp on my Planet X Tempest bicycle which has a titanium frame, I am very pleased with this bicycle, it is light, nimble and sturdy.
Despite the high praise given to the bike, it still suffered a puncture on the way home. I always carry basic tools and a spare inner tube so it was just a 20 minute job to get things sorted and back on the road.
I've not looked into going tubeless at the moment but may investigate this later on. For the time being I will stay with the tubed option.

That was a very enjoyable and relaxing video Sandy, and what great and considerate company you had with Shaun, thanks for taking us along with you 👌👏👋
Hey Sandy and his hidden talents! “Here’s my meat that I’m gonna eat” 😂🤣😂
Excellent way to spend a summertime camp 👍
That was a very enjoyable video Sandy.The meat feast looked very nice. I Chuckled as you blew away the e bike with pure human pedal power! 😂
Thanks Sandy for a great video,Shane did you proud with his catering,can I offer a tip regarding the rucksack in the bottom of the bivvy,put a length of para cord on the carry handle & just use it to pull it out when ready to pack up👍,atb Colin P.👍
Getting around on the bicycle on your own steam and enjoying the healthy lifestyle in the natural world- it brings out our inner Pagan spirit- loved this! Thinking of trying a bivi one day soon , they seem like a practical way for us cyclists. Thanks for sharing 🌿🧘🏼🌱🚴🏼♂️🙏
Late Spring, Summer and Autumn a bivi is great
Great camp Sandy. What could be better Shane's excellent cooking and endless drinks from the beer tree🍻🌳
It would be great to join you on a camp as I'm working near Cirencester during the week.
You made me hungry, steak, pork chops, sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes. What could be any better. Must find friends like you. 😊😊😊
Your fry up lads looked lush, picked up a marinade tip.....
'Ull' east yorkshire.
I love watching your camps Sandy, with your gravel push bike. We have beautiful places in Wiltshire, of the beaten track, thank you for taking us along with you.xx
Excellent camping trip sandy! Wish I had a mate like Shane , he's a good egg. I think I'd be claustrophobic in a bivvy but would love to have a go. Closest I've been to that is I have a DD Travel hammock, which transforms into a waterproof bottomed bivvy with bug net, which I combined with my DD tarp turning it into a tarp tent formation. Great fun!
A great video Sandy and that wee BBQ is made by Eurohike. It's a great wee piece of kit. A shame about the puncture though, but at least the weather was kind to you. 🙂
I liked the design of Shanes BBQ Simon, He's had it for years. As for the puncture, sadly an inevitable event on a bicycle!!
Great advert for meat consumption boys ❤
He said gelert I guess all this gear comes under different names over the years most are under the same company these day's, what I do know is Shane likes his meat!
I enjoyed that nice camping spot Sandy. Spent Solstice at Avebury. You should do a wild camp near Avebury for the Winter solstice sunrise at the stones much more peaceful than the summer one. Worth seeing.
Lovely video sandy, Shane looked after you really well with the grub.
Absolutely lovely video Sandy! Peggy mentions you in this week's (Thursday) video 👍🚶♀️
That bacon breakfast made my mouth water haha
I'll tune in and have a watch. Can't beat bacon for breakfast :)
Wiltshire is a beautiful county, the bird song is excellent! A lovely feast! A mid summers night dream, Billy wagglepole of course lol. Ugh coffee, tea every time for me! Paganism yes there's some truths in it, but it seems to worship the creation rather than the creator, a simple religion for a simpler time. Quite a lot of superstitions are traceable to Paganism, still if it works,well & good, it can be a comfort in stressful times. Lovely adventure, so very relaxed I bet Shane has some good yarns to tell.
Your the first person to come up with the correct answer, yes it was Billy Wagglepointed pole shaped a bit like a spear:)
Just like to confirm that I haven't been UNSUBSCRIBED. Nice little camp that and always good to have a spare inner tube or two handy.
Thats good to know Robert:)
Another great one Sandy (of course:) Those woods that you camped in there appear to be the perfect place to be for a couple of friends on bikes just out to enjoy the outdoors experience. And then blessed with the famous and mysterious "Magical Beer Tree." It doesn't often let you down. I think that the bike and bivi are the perfect combination for a quick and easy camp setup. You will probably put lots of use into that in the future. Thanks for allowing us to join you, an inspiring experience my friend. See you on the next one.
The bike and lightweight gear sure makes for an easy travelling experience Terry
Still subscribed Sandy. Your channel isn't that small, you are getting very close to 50k subs.
Get Schwalb tyres!!! I have a tourer and it is nearly fifteen years old and I have never had a puncture!! A few innnertube valves have failed over the years, but no punctures. Someone in a cycle shop said he'd not had any punctures using Schwalbs for 19 years!!!😮😊
Well done shane what a feeast for two kings of the Forrest another perfect video 🍺🍺🚴🚴
An enjoyable video bro and co. Looks like both had a good time, well until all the air went to the top. Safe travels. Ken.
Nice one Sandy mate 👍
What a great camp 🍻🥩🍻
I was talking to my mate in Allcannings this last Saturday and he said the farmer who built the longbarrow there also wanted to put a load of earth on top of Milk Hill to turn it into a mountain 😂😂😂 Happy Days - all the very best to you 🍻🍻🍻
If he did that to Milk hill then it would definitely be the highest place in Wiltshire
Good Lord! That was a fest fit for kings. An excellent camp out. I’m off camping at capel military show in a week or so. Hope the weather stays fair for it.
Enjoy your camp at the event Andy
Another very interesting and entertaining video Sandy! I thought it was funny that you so easily lifted your bike over the gate, then opened it and walked through, having a go at Dave, lol! Good thing you had a spare tube for your tire, God Bless!
Haaa yes I'm sure Dave will have a laugh at that sketch John
Still subscribed. My friends are cutting hay. It's been in the 90's. I asked him about the old days of square bales and they would have 2000 or so on one field. We never had that much to cut for one or two cows. Now he does it with a tractor and lift with 900 lb round bales. Probably has 100 or so by now. Lots of cattle to feed. Another neighbor does sileage. About 17 acres of it. Tiny by farm's out west standards but he is pushing 80 years old. Stay safe.
Farming can be hard work, I used to work on a farm, all big round bales nowadays
Thanks for sharing the information, love watching your videos my best wishes to you from the Philippines ❤️💪👍😉😀😁🐑🇵🇭🏴
That has to be the most popular tree in Wiltshire. Thanks again, Sandy and Shane. 🏕️🙂👍🥩🍻
Hahaa Yes Brian, when the world goes to pot I shall go to the Wizards tree
Wow, that was a celebration feast and a half thanks to Shane! I really enjoy the variety and locations of your videos Sandy.
Happy Solstice to you all 💫
Bloody hell, that was a feast!
Love the slow-mo fire & cooking shots
Lovely dogs 🐾
(sub and notifications working fine, I just couldn't watch at the time)
Fabulous video, Sandy, with spectacular views, 🌳 🪴 🌱 🌿 🌾 🌵 I struggle after 10 miles on a 🚲 lol, but then again, I have had a transplant, but like you its good to get up, get fit and get outdoors. 🚶♀️ 🚶♂️ 🚶♀️ 🚶♂️ 🚶♀️ 🚶♂️
Simply superb,especialy the food and the company,thanks for this!
Add to the cycling list - You see so much more of the journey...
That’s proper camp grub Sandy , another good one. I never managed the solstice camp this year unfortunately.
Certainly lots of protein on the menu Dave:)
Still subbed. Thanks for another great video WM👍👌
You have the light camping kit all figured out Sandy. I keep trying to get my brother and his family to do a little light weight camping. I have not been successful in that yet. Maybe when I go back to Wisconsin in July we can give it a try. I like the look of a hammock setup for me. I have several and need to sleep in them a bit before calling it a setup. Weather is going a little crazy here again and keeps plans changing. Keep up the great outdoors videos Sandy I will stay tuned in.
It's now turned really hot over here Jim, just a bit too hot for my liking
Thanks, Sandy. Always enjoyable.
ThankYou:)
Sandy another cracking video. Because you are such a good video host and really informative to listen to would you consider doing a bit of "This Is Your Life" video it would be interesting to know a bit of your background.
Hahaa, not that much to say about me really:)
Brilliant camp buddy! Always enjoy your content! I use a flat pack stainless steel barbeque on my camps as well as alcohol stove. My barbeque could fit in an A4 sized envelope. 🫡
love them camping vids sandy
Nice one Sandy..... Thoroughly enjoyed that, and what a feast put on by Shane! KTF🙏
It was certainly a "Meat Feast" Marty:)
Good carnivore food there Sandy - I could get into that.
Also love the Beavertown tipple - I work 5mins away from the brewery. Beware of the Lupaloid (6.7%).
Really enjoy your woodland camps.
I'll be heading Edale way soon for an overnight camp in Mezzner territory.
Hahaa, yes this was big carnivore for sure:) Beware when "Up there" for Mezzner could well be on the prowl :)
@@WiltshireMan 😱😱😱 🤣
good vid on channel out on camping trip keep up the good vids on channel thanks lee
5 star camping that guys, what a fine pot of meat!
Nice video Sandy. I take your view of the Nature religion/philosophy. A couple of hundred years ago it was termed as Romanticism but with all the ongoing discoveries of the life sciences, it encompasses so many aspects in life.
Very neat bivvy but perhaps the easy answer for your rucksack mining is a long piece of string.
Not getting political but I shall reserve my vote for the party that promotes the return of brown paper, string and sealing wax! Great Britain will never regain it's world status without them! ;-) (A remembrance of simpler times).
We would get along fine Peter, I agree with removing plastic packaging etc and replace with something that will decompose like paper
That looked like a tasty cook up!
Great video Sandy really enjoyable 👍
Great video, love the BBQ so much have just ordered one from Go Outdoors !! 😊😊
I think I may buy one also
Top notch that vid sandy. Shane knows how to look after you and good news it looks like someone has replenished the wizards tree as well ❤ happy days indeed 😉♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
He used to be a chef Marcus, so he knows his meat:)
Hello Sandy, CC button is working at last. I'm very pleased for that so I can read while you're talking. ATB. Gabriel.
I've worked out how to do it now:)
@@WiltshireMan I appreciate so much, now that helps me a lot to better understand what you're saying. Thank you very much Sandy.
Good job on the video Sandy
ive had my channel losing sub as well than I get tham back. I don't get it. any way love your videos when your out and about on the bike. 👍🚲
As a lifelong cyclist myself, I think you look pretty fit on that bike, well done & good for you ( literally).
Thanks Ashley, I'm loving the cycling:) Your never too old to ride a bike
22:14 thats the way to do it 😂 I have the Elan i want to mod my BA goretex with a bug net and zip but that means buying a sewing machine lol will still be cheaper than paying someone to do it, all the best Sandy
Great video as usual, not so keen on the music though.
Me neither always enjoy the videos ( recently muting for the musical bits ) but maybe some people are unsubscribing because they can’t deal with the Ibiza beach party music🤔
Inner tubes are cheap as chips Sandy. Discard your punctured tubes and buy a bunch of new tubes, that’s the best way to go. No really need to ride on repaired tubes. That’s how it was back in the day. Not any more!
I'm a dab hand at repairing them, if you use a lighter to burn off some of the glue before adding the patch then it sticks rather well.
Hi Sandy, Subscription ok mate, been keeping an eye on it since you last mentioned it bud. As for comments on religions and belief's, I'm not one to conform to all of this and that. But I feel I'm a spiritual person, I think you should allow all to find their own path without persecution or interference. Also very much like you I believe in the total respect for the natural world and all that dwells within.
Good video Sandy, Big thumbs up mate.
Regards
Moose
Thats about it Moose, each to his own:)
Absolutely no lettuce in sight! .....food looks great 👍
lettuce is for slugs and snails:)
That steak was cooked just right 🤤 Nice little trip out ✨🙏✨
I wouldn't complain thats for sure:)
Was going to ask how the tyres coped puncture protection wise seeing you take that bike over all and every terrain. But didn't want to ask about punctures as that's like actors saying Macbeth 😂😂
Just a thought Sandy, I have a similar bike to you (Sonder Camino Ti) and have gone tubeless - I was dubious at first but wow what a revelation - the rare occation I get a puncture that doesn't auto-seal I have a plug kit (dynaplug racer) which is very easy to use. I also carry the light weight tpu tubes just in case; I use the tubolito tubes - expensive but I've yet to get a puncture that needed them. Anyway if you do go tubeless my tip is to put two wraps of rim tape on (don't ask me how I know ..).
Maybe I'll try tubeless at some point Colin
If you pull the pegs out at the foot end you can lift it up and shake ur backpack out to the head end mate instead of making yourself into a sock puppet 😅😅
I completely forgot that I have to tuck my trouser into my sock when I’m on my bike!!! Admittedly I do forget to take it out!
Why don't you use slime inner tubes. The puncture fixes itself 😊
Not that I would ever want to put a label on your beliefs Sandy. But feeling about nature as you explained, you might be what is called a Pantheist. Pantheists dont believe in deities, spirits or supernatural powers. In fact Pantheists believe that what is divine is right here on on Earth. In fact it is Earth. Pantheists central belief is that the universe, the earth, and nature are divine, and so they should be treated as sacred. Once again a superb video mate. Thank you!
That sounds good to me, I would say the Universe is devine
A few channels i watch are losing subscribers…RUclips has an agenda rather like MSM.
Nice camp 👍
I wouldn't be surprised
To achieve puncturality in repair - be prepared . . .
Nice wee wild solstice camp, do you have a link to Shane’s channel?
Shane doesn't upload any content to youtube as far as I'm aware
I dont have a channel...yet
@@karenshane3976 cheers for letting me know Shane, I got confused when you said you were going to write a blog about the solstice ( I’m new to this stuff) 👍😎
bAAps!😂
Great video! What groundsheet do u use?
Just a very cheap type of green plastic military ground sheet. Seems very durable
Why is it compulsory to have bacon for breakfast when you are camping 😋
Definitely isn't for me, I'm vegetarian 😀
Where's the Brompton
In my living room, use it when I go to the shops
Google AI the RUclipss new moderator seems a bit too over sensitive with unsubscribes and comments deleted throughout RUclips it would seem. It's worrying!
I think your mate's had too many BrewDogs he's burnt the bloody sausages and over cooked the rest.
It was all cooked to perfection:)
I think old sandy might be a bit of a miser, he likes eating crappy cheap food and now he's complaining about paying for petrol for his motorbike.
Pedal power is cheaper than petrol:)
There (youtube) un- subbing subcribers becos your in nature your advertising The creators/GIAS beauty ❤❤❤❤❤
They dont want you in nature..they want you lo ked up in ya houses using elecric and hooked up to screens!!!
Probably right
Musics awful Sandy… sorry..
Good job there wasn't too much of it then
Sorry sandy but that music is awful, had to turn volume right down. Your video's are good enough they don't need any music, totally unnecessary.
