- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Myself, Alan and Woodie spent two days riding around the New Forest, eating chips, talking to ponies and generally having a jolly old time of it.
This videos shows all the action or lack thereof from day 1. Day 2 will be coming soon!

Whether you do or not, thank you for watching, your support means the world to me :)
Aah, Poo sticks sailing.
Always a good passtime
Beaut scenery! Reminded me of growing up near woods in Pennsylvania. You guys looked like a group of kids playing around the creek and zipping through the woods, that's a good thing! Thanks mucho.
It is the best way to spend time :)
The day I am too old to enjoy playing in a little rushing river is the day I lay down and die.
I'd love to go back in the spring when all the leaves are coming out on the trees, it would be even more spectacular then
Woody, was in your South Wales video where you met him in the car park; so he could temporarily join your ride!?
I have got so used to your use of "Dude, where's my horse?" as background music to your posts; that without offending the composer or the composition; it has become subtle and unobtrusive.
However, in this post; where there are horses everywhere, even walking down the tracks and over bridges; the music seems almost..kind of ironic, in its choice and use..haha! Did you make that decision on purpose?
A pleasant, fun gaunt! An aimless (apart from the obvious aim towards the apartment) meandering/wanderings in the forest, of three amigos. It's what life is all about. Doing what you love, with the folk that you love! Perfect!
Looking forward to part two!Take care Jethro
Full marks for woodie identification.
The music is chosen with very little thought to be honest. i have my little library of tracks that I like and they just get dropped in based very vaguely on the pace of the video in question.
The horse connection was not a consideration at the time. I'm afraid I'm not that subtle 😉
Haha, very harsh indeed that wildcamp style
That was a hard night. Really roughing it there 😉
Epic relaxing journey. Thanks for the share.
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it.
kids at play, oh i wish i hadn't grown up 😊
Never too late to regress back to childhood. And no better place to do it than on the banks of rushing, forest stream.
Could link up with Mike and Julie of Wheelersatlarge from Bournemouth.
I don't think I've come across them. Is that a RUclips channel?
Living in the wilderness might soon be the best way to get away from it all Jethro. I'm sure you and Alan will sleep tight.🤣
Tell me about it. I sometimes think I should keep my camping gear packed and ready to go at all times just in case I wake up to sirens one night.
To be honest though, much as I love the wilderness, I dunno how long I'd survive there without 4G and a debit card ;)
The video was called, “Woody’s First Video With Jethro.”
Oh, wait, no it wasn’t,
I got nothin’.
This was 10-1/2 minutes of laid-back bliss. Eagerly awaiting Part 2!
Haha, good guess.
Glad you enjoyed it. Part 2 is coming soon. Though 'soon' is a rather flexible term when it comes to my upload schedule ;)
"2nd only to Great White Cows." Nightmares tonight for sure. :)
They are the stuff of nightmares indeed. Just imagine that single udder, cutting through the water towards you!
You can probably tell that I didn't really script this one in advance 😉
Winter. Deserted forest.
Not quite deserted but definitely quieter than it could have been in better weather.
It's a really great place to explore
Great vid , love that part of the world :)
It's great round there. I've not explored it much really but I'd happily go back again after this trip.
That looks Ike a great place to ride. I'm going back to the UK in May so maybe I can persuade my two sons to go out with me to The New Forest for a ride one weekend. Take care. I look forward to the second episode.
Its well worth it for sure, especially as the weather starts to get nicer.
I can imagine some parts get bloody crowded on sunny days though.
Always enjoy your videos stay safe
Thank you. You too!
Loved this - the New Forest is my home patch. You’re right to be cautious around the ponies, many years ago I saw one rolling over a cattle grid, they are cunning beasts!
Yeah they stand around looking all dopey and innocent but its a ruse. They are plotting all the time ;)
Its a great place for cycling though. You are very lucky to have that as your local spot.
Poney: “are you local? this is a local forest for local people “
Ironically though, absolutely packed with tourists most of the time.
That must be why they were so docile that day. They had already eaten their fill ;)
Lovely scenery- despite those terrifying ponies. 😉😄 My fellow Pennsylvanian previous poster can attest to our all too frequent encounters with black bears 🐻 on our public lands.
I probably wouldn't have been quite so flippant in my filming if we had bears in place of ponies. I'd love to see one but at the same time I really hope I never do
Plenty of stealth camp options in there 😉
Definitely!
Although a lot of it gets pretty waterlogged and I've been told that some areas are so wet that there is proper quicksand and bog that you actually need to be wary of.
Great place to explore though. We had a great trip and I'd definitely go back for more.
Nice ride along feel Jethro :-) If you want an accompaniment to those chips check out my 'Fish and chips in the New Forest' outing haha!! Any camping in part 2?
It was partly that vid of yours that pushed me to visit in the first place 😉
No camping on this trip at all I'm afraid. It was fluffy towels from start to finish 😉
I'll get back out in the tent soon though for sure
@@JethroJessop thanks for that, I'm glad someone saw it! 🤘as long as there's beer involved everything else takes care of itself 🍻
@@RoadyPacking-CyclingAdventures words to live by 😉
Ohhh Ive not seen Woody before
I like to keep things new and exciting ;)
He has featured in one other video, quite a while back.
Ah, good one. I have serious hopes for the snow to soon start shrivel up and disappear for the season, but realistically, I can probably get a ride in around easter.
How much snow are you still dealing with?
In the UK we barely even have winter anymore, it just gets a bit more grey and slightly more muddy
@@JethroJessop it is not much, I did use the ECR for daily stuff in similar amounts last year, but its more than I fancy doing training or small touring in. Woods are full of the stuff.
@@JensMHA Yeah, I love a bit a snow on the ground but it does make everything a bit more complicated.
I'm definitely a summer person if I had to choose. Warm breezes, green leaves, stopping for a swim when the opportunity arises. That's the life
@@JethroJessop Indeed, I am somewhat in the same boat, spring/summer/autumn all of those has their perks and benefits, but as I choose not to ski, the winter is rather dreary.
@@JensMHA yeah, one can only build so many snow men before the novelty wears off right? 😉
Ah ha wasn't Woodie in one of your South Wales videos a few years ago. Too Much of a Fan of the Channel perhaps haha. Six Bowls of Chips !!!
He was indeed, blimey, I didn't think anyone would remember that. 100 points well earned sir!
Nice video. It would be great if you could introduce us to your friends so we could get to know them.
I will try my hardest to get them both out on some more rides very soon. Next time I'll make sure they do a little intro to camera ;)
Yes, lovely place. So nice to see someone enjoying the wild (if you can can the New Forest 'wild') in a leisurely way, rather than careering down hardcore mtn bike trails and blethering about berms and drop-offs. Woody - as any fule kno - lit up Toy Story 1. Toy Storys 2, 3 and 4 were sadly disappointing due to the lack of bike-based Woody action
Definitely a place that lends itself to slow exploration with many pauses for looking moss and eating chips.
Woodie doesn't like to talk about the Toy Story days. He was young and foolish and needed the money when he made those films and now he really wants to focus on his new career as a human.
@@JethroJessop I'm sure he'll be fine so long as he waxes that saddle thoroughly
@@shinywarm6906 absolutely. Twice a day!
did he appear in the Last day of route 47 south wales.
He did. 100 points for you right there.

@@JethroJessop That's fine.I was just worried that I was going to be sat in the centre of an empty room and have 100 strangers point at me for a few hours or something. Death by 100 points.
@@oldscoolgaming.5040 I wouldn't inflict such on a fate on anyone 😉
Deconstructing Jethro by Woodie and Allan?
I'll take that for the title of this channel's companion coffee table book ;) In all good bookshops by christmas :)
Pardon my ignorance as an American, but what is the nature of the dirt roads you are riding? (Old rail bed? Gravel road open to cars? Dedicated new construction bike path? Old herders road?)
I'm not 100% sure of the details but mostly they are access for forestry work and also maintained for public access as the forest is a pretty big draw for tourism.
Some of the tarmac surfaced ones are open to cars but generally gravel is not. It's quite rare in England to find that amount of good quality gravel all in one place so it is really popular with cyclists.
Hi
Do you have a route map for where you went?
Not to hand. It will be on my Strava if you look there though.
I'll try to dig out a specific link later and add it here
@@JethroJessop thanks, will do
