I’ve watched most of your playlists so easy to watch and great quality, watched a German guys series on he and his wife on a 12 day trip to the lakes and Peak District then it hit me that all you foreign types have a greater appreciation of this country and are.better videographers than the locals, keep up the amazing work I’m learning some great out of the way places and I only lived here over 60 years you put me to shame I thought I knew my country well, I wait with baited breath for the next content regards Ray
@Invictus I just found your comment after long being online, as YT is not sending notifications for that. I'm really glad you enjoyed and yes, you are right about the appreciation and video quality. I think as a nation you are generally speaking great engineers and rock musicians but there are better classic composers, painters or ... videographers for that matter :) Not thinking about myself though, after a few years I think my old videos were pretty bad TBH. 😂🍺
Wow, what a blast! Even though I recognised a lot of the roads because I live just over the border, it made me want to get out there ASAP! When lockdown is over the Welsh Tourism Board should broadcast this video exactly as it is!
Superb filming and editing, and, as a biker as well, can really appreciate this film. Some wonderful scenery too. We’ve been across mid wales on the bikes, but not north. Spring hopefully
Lovely video. Can you reveal the actual route, road by road? I recognise much, but not all. I'd particularly like to know where you came across the highland cattle!
The cattle was on the road north to Nant-y-Moch Reservoir. Here's the list of all the trip day by day with maps ruclips.net/p/PLnboRFVT6r3hPlLCEGK-r8HDVHHqiZLAp and here is the whole route www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=17tbjDvDBsxvf2_wcJph4mN_xP8tuEfzY&ll=52.48089791769422%2C-2.822028000000061&z=9
Damn, loved the way you edited, but the first version with the sound of the engine was much better. What was the music you used in the first vid? Nice work, cheers!
You deserve a lot more Likes! . I invite you to go Route 40 Argentina great wether .Great Food . smile people that don't care about your accent but about who you are. Countryside have MANY different view colours and shapes. And is very affordable.You can rent a motorcycle there or in Chile. Don't get me wrong Wales are GORGEUS. Cheers!
Thanks buddy. I wish to go to South America at some poing. The only issue is that I hate renting bikes and I'm only riding my own. And shipping it to Argentina is a bit too expensive for me ATM ;)
Hi mate great vid! What roads did you take? I live in wales and got some friends coming from oxford and we want to do a couple days riding and camping. 👍
There are detailed videos on my channel from this trip with maps and all the details you need. Have fun there 🍺 ruclips.net/p/PLnboRFVT6r3hPlLCEGK-r8HDVHHqiZLAp
Wow! Piękna trasa, piękny motocykl. Świetna edycja i muza. Aż chciałoby się wskoczyć na motocykl i jechać tam od razu! Musiałeś przywieźć niesamowite wspomnienia. Ile kilometrów wyszło? Sam jechałeś? Ile czasu potrzebowałeś?
Dzieki za dobre slowo. Wrazenia owszem, niesamowite. Lacznie ze 2500km w 8 dni zrobilem, ale ode mnie to niedaleko bo mieszkam na wyspach. Do samej Walii mam ze 300km ale odbijalem prawie w kazda boczna droge, zeby zobaczyc miejsca mniej uczeszczane przez tlumy turystow.Pozdr
I posted the link in reply to a few comments here so it is somewhere here. And you can find some more detailed info in my series from Wales on my channel. Thanks for the comment.
Tak, mieszkam w UK. Co do latania po UK to mam nadzieje w koncu pojechac gdzie indziej bo w ostatnich 3 latach zjezdzilem co sie tu tylko dalo ;) ale pewnie znajac zycie znow cos pojdzie nie tak i jakis maly lockdownik bedzie :D

@@UncleLongbeard Really love your style of filming and editing mate. What drone do you use? I can’t wait to get back out on my bike again. Going to do another Europe bike trip once COVID is over 🙄 😀
@@Gmanxie I can't wait either mate but for now it looks we stuck here. I use mostly mavic mini and if I'm travelling with my mate Lukas his mavic air which is significantly better drone. But for it's purpose - just a few seconds of B roll on RUclips, the mini is enough. BTW - I usually list the equipment used in the description.
@@UncleLongbeard Ahhhh will check the description next time 🤣 - if you’re interested have a look at some of my bike trip across Europe. Nothing like yours but was nice to get some footage for the memory bank. Good work mate
My friend, this is absolutely spectacular. I’m planning a big trip this summer and I’m trying to learn how to film and edit in the meantime. This is EXACTLY how i want my work to look. Am i right in thinking you had a camera on a 360 ball mount on the bars for the shots to the side and front/side? Is that gimballed or is it software stabilisation? The shots, editing and colour grading are inspirational
Thanks for a kind words mate :) That footage is 99% from gopro7 with no gimbal. The ball mount is not the best for versatability - the chest mount works better if you want to move the camera to the sides often. Cheers
@@UncleLongbeard thanks for the advice! It really does look very well stabilised. I've only got a hero 3 at the moment, but I'll definitely look into the chest mount and maybe think about treating myself to the hero 7! Thanks again
@@iflipyofareal Well, the hero3 does not have any stabilization but that's not the only issue as your body with the chest mount is stabilizing the footage itself. At least a bit. But the other issue is the dynamic range of the camera. It's just way worse than the newer models. If you want to go cheaper than hero7 or 8 buj sjcam sj8pro. It will do the job
Depends where are you starting from and how many days in total as 1 week could mean even 9 days including both weekends... But you can check the weather before the trip and go where it looks more promising :D
Uncle Longbeard I am from Grenoble, French Alps. Then, weather is not a key point from my side, even if riding during the best season could be much more enjoyable. I have to take a look for the boat between the netherlands and Edimbourgh or France and Wales. And watch more videos as yours ✌🏼
AFAIK there is no good ferry connection up there. So coming from Grenoble it makes the most sense to go through the channel tunnel which will be the fastest option. So if you go to Scotland, the best case scenario is 4 days on motorways trying to reach Scotland and back but realistically it'll be rather 6 days. That would leave you with 3 to 5 days (if you'll have 9 free days in total) to visit Scottish Highlands. Doable but it's better to spend more time there. So... if I would be in your position I would look for a longer trip or would go to Wales, maybe up to Lake District if there will be enough time. Leave Scotland for a longer holidays.
