Great to see another video popping up Tom, it's always a pleasure to get a notification from HBS!
I really enjoyed the humorous narrative at the start, and what a stroke of luck finding sandwiches of your preferred filling 🙂
M&S chocolate... "we're not savages afterall, are we" 👏🤣🤣
Beautiful time lapse from 16:24 🌄🌫️
Thanks for another great video Tom 🚲⛺👍
Thanks Tony! - I thought I'd try a little humour... plainly not everyone finds me funny... infact the words infuriating and imbecile are more often used that funny but hey ho!!! - Anyway thanks again for your kind words - ATB Tom

Oh, I'm sure that you're joking about those descriptive words being used!
You have your own inimitable style of presentation, no need to change it 👌
Thanks again Tom 👍
What a great local adventure! Ticking another Corbett off the list is always an achievement. Your bikepacking journey in Galloway Forest Park looks amazing, especially with the beautiful scenery and the Dark Sky Park. Looking forward to see more of your wild camping and fatpacking experiences. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the kind words!! I've many more Corbetts to do and know there is zero chance in me getting them all as most are totally non cyclable but I'll take it where I can get them! Thanks again - ATB Tom
Wow, absolutely amazing landscapes! You are a true warrior to get the mighty Kona up there!
We now have established a drinking game and have a shot every time you say "anyway" 😝😝
Cannot wait to see your next tour!
All the best so far, and regards to the Mrs!

Ben&Sarah.. with my incoherent ramblings you must be in a pretty bad way about now... unsubscribe for the sake of your health!!! lol - ATB Tom
@@hikebikescotland9121 NEVEEEEEER😂😂😂
Nice one, loved it, great footage as always. I am moving back to Dumfries and Galloway, hopefully in the next few months, love the place
Its a fantastic place John it really is... I'm not sure my towns folk would agree but I recon the best thing about living in Ayrshire is you're not far from Galloway... I'll always have a soft spot for the area - ATB Tom
Nice wee adventure Tom. Cracking inversion in the morning 😎 No been down there in a few years. got 1 Corbett to do down there. Shalloch on Minnoch. Aye defo best way to get the rain to stop is to get the proofs oan. 😂
Cheers Kev! - Its not a bad area to be sure... fair old trek for most so I see why its missed out but handy for us! - looking forward to your latest vid that just popped up on my feed... ATB Tom
Thoroughly enjoyed this one, loved the shot at 22:28, the colours, the light and your riding/cutting through the middle with the score, superb little bit of amateur filming. Brilliant actually.
I wonder... perhaps the big camera is becoming overkill for this kind of work/content? I wonder if something like the DJI Pocket 3 could replace and release you from some weight burden. Or take the story telling to the next level and replace the big camera with a drone. Might be similar space/weight but your locations seem to really scream out for it! (and you might not have to constantly bike back to pick it up, set it to follow you, done! 😆) But I dunno much about drones...
Enjoying the banter too, looking forward to the next one 🙂
Cheers Eddy!!.. yeah I've been wanting a drone for a few years, there's definitely some good shots out there for that format. I've nearly pulled the trigger several times but I'm so tight it's quite unbelievable actually. I think the fear of popping £700 in a loch is real.. then I think we'll I could upgrade my main camera.. or get a replacement for the osmo action 1.. I get paralysed so close the browser and buy nothing instead lol. It will happen one day I'm sure 😃
@@hikebikescotland9121 Lol I do know what you mean. I often close 15 tabs related to a single lens I'm researching because it all gets too much and I really ought not to!
Lovely film (They always are). Glad to see you picked a nice easy flat route.
Many thanks Glenda.. I'll do some more sensible rides in the near future I promise!! I've been enjoying your recent videos as well especially the aircraft wreckage.. very interesting and poignant.. having served in her majesties finest some years ago I do take an extra interest in such things... Thanks again
I prefer the non sensible. Sensible is boring. I haven’t been doing any bikepacking of late. Dodgy wrists so I pay for long days in the bike. I’ve had an interest in lost aircrew for many years. I think it’s a nice thing to take the time to visit them and pay my respects. What did you serve in?
RAF, leuchars before it was mothballed
@@hikebikescotland9121well there’s a coincidence. My son is there now. He’s a Cpl in Scots DG. So he moved from Germany to there.
Ahh... I was about 20 years ago to be fair when they still had fast jets there.. good times and a good little area of the country
I have a love hate with Dumfries and Galloway, stunning in nice weather but foreboding when it’s crap just like soggy Ayrshire.
It was nice to see something other than gravel tracks for a wee change I could be enticed down for something like that.
haha lets be honest theres little fun to be had in the soggy stuff regardless!! - Although Galloway holds onto its moisture longer than most regions I'll warrant!! - love a gravel track but hate to be limited by them as well... hence the fat bike when the temptation to just go cross country is too much to resist!!! (handy in the snow as well!!) - ATB Tom
Yes I think that’s why my tyres are slowly getting fatter😂 47ms on gravel and now new MTB with fatter tyres. Who knows what next 🤣🤣🤣
I think we both know exactly whats next 🤣🤣
Just gave you a sub. I’ve camped over on Merrick before. Love the Galloway Forest
Thanks for the sub!!! - Just checked out your channel as well.. subbed.. looks right up my street!! - I've done Merrick a couple of times but never camped.. I do fancy the full range of the awful hand at somepoint but I need to get fitter!! then maybe I'd camp on one of the middle quieter tops.. thats the straw man plan anyway! - Thanks again ATB Tom
@@hikebikescotland9121 I’d always be down for joining anyone who wants a trip out, feel free to let me know. Love that area for creating wee adventures
Fat bike cool just subbed
Much appreciated fella!! - ATB Tom
