    Coconut rings from Aldi 👍👍👍 Not too much time for the dunk... literally just a millisecond dip, totally transforms the taste. 9/10

    • @barneysbimbles
      @barneysbimbles  4 месяца назад +2

      Yep I've had them too, really nice. I'd actually suggest that the coconut ring possibly works better with a coffee than a tea 👍

    • @BurtonOutdoors
      @BurtonOutdoors 4 месяца назад +1

    Ahhh great camp. Very relaxing. Jam and bread for me straight after school sometimes with a digestive in the middle mmm delicious Looking forward to your dunking clip rich tea biscuits for me with hot tea. Thanks for taking us along all the very best Pete 👍⛺️🚴

      Hi Pete, many thanks for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed it. Living your best life with your bread, jam and digestive combo! I might have to try that.
      Rich Tea have gotten a lot of love in the comments, which has surprised me somewhat. I will of course be busting them out for an upcoming camp. 👍

    Loved the Barneys Bimbles Biscuit Break segment - Gingernut dunk is the way forward!! Jacks (Tescos?) chocolate digestives are bullet proof when it comes to dunkin!! but obviously best enjoyed with a Darjeeling coffee ;-)

    • @barneysbimbles
      @barneysbimbles  4 месяца назад +1

      Cheers Rich, the biscuit reviews are here to stay. I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I've not had any comments from the ginger nut haters, I always thought they were a divisive biscuit! The Digestives are probably a video in themselves and I shall come to them in due course and give them the reverence that they deserve.
      I'll politely ignore your final comment! 🤬👍

    The Brompton got you to camp in good style Barney and the tent for a change seemed to work in the woods. A nice chilled evening it looked - warm as. As for pudding the bread and jam no doubt went down a treat. All in all a worthwhile trip. Mark

    Another enjoyable watch and good to see the Brompton on the trail too. Love the idea of a Biscuits and Brews feature - Ginger Nuts are a firm favourite (unless over-dunked, of course!), Go for it! 👍🫖🍪

    @BourneOutside 4 месяца назад

    I am taken aback by your Ginger Nuts, Barn. Really a disgusting biscuit may I say 😁
    Chocolate HobNobs or, Custard Creams would be my preference.
    The Schwalbe tyres. Are they made by the WEF and Klaus Schwalbe? 😊
    A pleasant looking night in the woods there, Barn. Funny a Scout group walked through though 🤣
    Looking forward to your next outings 😉👍🏼

    • @barneysbimbles
      @barneysbimbles  4 месяца назад

      Hello Tim, always a pleasure to hear from you sir. I'll accept that ginger nuts are an acquired taste. I like them and I don't care who knows it!
      Custard Creams though are most definitely biscuit royalty, very impressive dunkers.
      Blimey that Klaus Schwab comment was very niche, didn't have you down as an economist!
      Looking forward to seeing your vid from last week 👍

    i have to say, when i first clicked on your video, my first impression was " bahhhhh hahahaa"... as in....your bike, your setup, your build, etc.........BUT...now having watched it, KUDOS !!!! nice stuff, nice setup ( i have the originator to your oex bobcat tent ) and nice everything :-) you use the same pillow construction as me.. i also like to take that soft bundle and lay my micro fibre towel over it for a bit of skin softness :-)

    • @barneysbimbles
      @barneysbimbles  2 месяца назад

      Ha ha, glad you enjoyed the setup. The Brommy can seem like a bit of a clown bike, but it's a great bit of kit and really well made. Not so good on the off road trails in the wetter months though, but then again it has no right to even be going off road!
      Those stuff sack pillows are great aren't they, I honestly don't know why more people aren't using them instead of the inflatable pillows that seem to fail so often!

    Lovely biscuit friendly video Barney, great to see the Brompton out and apparently people go for a 39 or 40 tooth chain ring for hill climbing assistance, might be a good idea to put a lock on the bike if you can't get it in the tent as you never know ! Lovely breakfast, great tent and set up, thanks for sharing 👏👋

    • @barneysbimbles
      @barneysbimbles  4 месяца назад

      Hi, glad you enjoyed the video and that is for commenting. Yeah I think I'm definitely going to get a 39 tooth chain ring for the brommie. I live in a hilly area and need all the help that I can get.
      Fair comment about a lock too, generally the bike doesn't leave my side, especially when I'm commuting with it, but I have been known to tie it to my shelter when camping! 👍

    Deffo keep the biscuit review mate, choccy digestive for me 👍 I’ve just put a 39T chainring on mine and it’s made a massive difference. Glad to see how much gear you got in the front bag , I picked one up off eBay when I knew I was getting my brommy. Another cracking camp even if it was a tad warm.

    • @barneysbimbles
      @barneysbimbles  4 месяца назад +1

      Cheers Dave, the biscuit reviews will definitely make a return. I'm going to save the Digestives for a special video though as they need a bit more reverence!
      Yeah I think I shall follow suit with the 39t chainring, will do that soon when I change the chain. I don't know if you think this, but filming when on a bike is so much harder!
      All the best 👍

      I was expecting it to be a bit stuffy overnight, but I just left the door open and it was fine.

    Great video, got to keep the BBB reviews. Every biscuit is better after being dunked.There is always a bit of jeopardy dunking a Rich-tea as it may plop back into the brew. And Fig-rolls seem to be indestructible no matter how long they are dunked for.

    • @barneysbimbles
      @barneysbimbles  4 месяца назад +1

      Cheers John, glad you enjoyed it. The biscuit segment is definitely here to stay. I've had a few Rich tea comments so maybe they'll be the next biscuit of choice. The Fig rolls have also just generated a bit of conversation between my wife and I. I love a fig roll too, but are they a biscuit? It's like the Jaffa cake debate all over again! 👍

    Great video. I've just changed froma 44t to a 39 having been defeated by Bristol hills with camping gear. Off to the peak district to try it out later this week and I'm hoping to glide up hills!
    Can you sit up in the Bobcat if it was raining? To read and stuff?

    • @barneysbimbles
      @barneysbimbles  4 месяца назад

      Excellent, I'm thinking the 44t might suit my needs and the hills in Kent.
      The Bobcat is great, it's still only a 1 person tent so is not exactly a palace. But, I'm 5'10" and can sit up in it with no issue. It also has a very generous vestibule and a really clever door with four zippers allowing you to configure the door and vestibule area in multiple ways. I've not used mine in the rain yet, but I'd be content to spend a bit of time inside if the weather did close in. Hoping to get it down to Dartmoor later in the year 👍
