I love that even though you come from a country with incredible amazing and breathtaking scenery you are still happy to enjoy scenery elsewhere 😊

@@wanderinghonda7963 There's beautiful scenery all over the world, and it's nice seeing places I'm not likely to be able to afford to visit.

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed the series 😊 There’s a very short break in the channel with just a couple of videos from Cornwall then we’ve got some great series as we travel in Africa. Hopefully you’ll enjoy them 😊

Cheers Gùnter! I’m so pleased you enjoyed this series and hopefully you’ll enjoy what’s coming up soon We are loving Africa! 😊

Sounds like you have a fantastic stable of bikes and a gorgeous place to ride them in! Thanks for the lovely comment 😊

We agree. We still love ours 😊 I’m currently in Africa on a T7 and there have been a few times I’d wished I was on my 300! (Although I have grown to really enjoy the T7) We’ll be doing a 60,000km report on what’s failed on the bike as well as possibly a T7 comparison review

We did the same. We kept getting smaller and smaller with the bikes. We love the lightweight nature of the 300’s for travel. Although weirdly I’m currently in Lesotho in Africa riding a T7! I still love the 300 though 😊 We have the 80’s. We totally get what you mean as they are so expensive! Any of our videos (maybe the Portuguese ACT videos?) will give you a good idea of the size of the 80’s on the bikes (Steff has a lowered bike so it looks slightly smaller)

Aren’t those views amazing! We do get distracted easily though 😂

So sorry about the late reply. I’ve not had internet for almost a week (I’m in Lesotho Africa at the minute) Did you have a good trip? Sounds amazing

@@wanderinghonda7963 Wow, Simon, Lesotho. Remember hiking in the Drakensberge very well. Quite different from Friulia in Indian summer. 95% small and winding roads, very little traffic, amazing views. 5% gravel, not too easy. Likely to be there again next October. If you ever plan to ride there I'd help out with gpx. Enjoy Africa and Sani pass, Günter/Nürnberg

@enduromotorradtouren cheers Günter, we did Sani pass this morning, conditions were ok. Not too bad but still tricky enough! Glad you’re back from your trip safely. I think we’ll be taking a couple of months rest during the winter 😊

@@wanderinghonda7963 Taking a rest is important. Just a few training & tour weekends for me and a Portugal trip, then I'll be tired enough for winter ;-) Cheers, Günter/Nürnberg

@enduromotorradtouren looking forward to hearing about Portugal at this time of year! Ride safe 😊

Thanks so much for the lovely comments. We really appreciate knowing that people enjoy watching. It makes there hassle of recording our trips worth it 😊 We’ll check out your videos when we’re back! Hopefully you’ll enjoy what’s coming up on the channel even though it’s not Sweden. I definitely plan a return visit “up north”!

@wanderinghonda7963 I just checked out The Jammy gits also & sent them a text & Sub, Fun couple, jeez is everyone in Sweden just now haha..Well if you do get here again coffee & cake is on me & a hot shower haha Cheers

I’ll hold you to that! Steff will be with me and she loves cake 😂

First of all as I’ve mentioned to a couple of people I’m so sorry about the late reply. I’m currently in Africa and internet is very spotty where I am. I use Final Cut Pro 😊

First of all as I’ve mentioned to a couple of people I’m so sorry about the late reply. I’m currently in Africa and internet is very spotty where I am. I’m not sure which ferry you mean? Do you mean the way up north or the return? I’ve forgotten the return ferry but can easily dig out the information if you need it 😊 If you mean the ferry heading north I think it was Rostock - Trelleborg, the details are in episode one if you’re planning to go that way 😊

Thanks, I’ll have a look back through the vids and see what ferry’s you used.

@julescontrol my pleasure. Enjoy your trip it’s stunning 😊

First of all as I’ve mentioned to a couple of people I’m so sorry about the late reply. I’m currently in Africa and internet is very spotty where I am. I’m so glad you enjoyed the series! You are right the rain was a bit of a pain 😆 but the scenery made up for it. Thanks so much for your lovely comments during the series and I really hope you enjoy what’s coming up!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know its really appreciated 😊

It’s a date!!!

@@wanderinghonda7963❤❤❤

I can give you a sneak peek that it wasn’t as wet but it definitely had drama!

I meant to say it wouldn't be as wet! Look forward to seeing the next installment.

😆👍🏼

Definitely! We were quite lucky. I think we picked the seasons perfectly 😊

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. We’re so sorry any the late reply, we’re travelling and have been put off comms for a while Hopefully you’ll enjoy what’s coming up on the channel 🎉

I’m so sorry about the delay in replying I’m currently travelling. I’m so glad you enjoyed it and really appreciate the comment! Hopefully you’ll enjoy all the upcoming stuff 😊

We love that episode! It brings so many memories back. We still think it’s one of the best days riding we’ve had.

@@wanderinghonda7963 It looks like an epic day's riding. Excellent filming and editing it together - I definitely felt like I was along for the ride. Can relate to looking at an incline and being convinced that the bike won't make it but then being pleasantly surprised that it was easier than you thought.

😂👍🏼

We love the Pyrenees!

Yes it’s the klim arsenal. It’s exceptionally handy for me because I need access to a fair amount of various camera stuff while I’m riding and the storage is amazing There is a but coming though It doesn’t flow as much air as a standard rucksack when it’s really hot and there’s no getting away from the fact it’s a “strange look” 😂

@@wanderinghonda7963 There's always a "but" 😆 Fortunately, I'm quite accustomed to looking strange...

😆

So close 😂

@@wanderinghonda7963 It's always the way. The minute you think you avoided it, it seeks you out.

Thank you 😊

Thank you! I couldn’t agree more, they are such lovely places to visit but boy oh boy the weather 😂 I can’t blame you wanting to stock up on the sunshine before you go and visit! Hopefully you’ll bear with a few short gaps while we catch up with everything but the stuff coming should be awesome 🎉

Thanks, those dogs looked so happy! Very cute 😆

Thanks for the comment. It’s always good to get other views and experiences 😊 I think everyone is proving that Honda has a built an awesome little machine!

Thank you for your lovely comment 😊

Interesting! Thanks for letting me know, the charges make even more sense now.

They are a really lovely bunch 😊

😂 Steff always gets annoyed with how quickly I always want to stop for coffee

@@wanderinghonda7963 But... but... it's the *_elixir of LIFE_* !!

Glad you enjoyed 😊 We always keep our eyes peeled for any new adventures from you guys but life sounds busy!

@@wanderinghonda7963 a few more videos to edit, been working with @motoeuro on a couple, which was great! First off road on the Transalp coming up along with a Karoo 4 first impressions, motoeuro collab and a Transalp review. 👍 If I ever get time. I featured it motoeuro’s latest video about Transalp.. 👀😊

I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks 😊 I definitely missed Steff but in some ways it was nice to do completely what took my fancy whenever I felt like it! It was awesome to be reunited for Tanzania!!! Thanks for following along and commenting

Thank you for your lovely thoughts and comments. Really appreciated! Tanzania is absolutely epic. It should be a fun series. Can’t wait for everyone to follow along with us Thanks again Ride safe 😊

@@wanderinghonda7963 I’ll be watching 😊🏍️💨

Thanks for all your support during the series 😊 Enjoy what’s coming up 🎉

Thank you. What as lovely comment! 😊 Cheers 🍻

My absolute pleasure. The African travels are going to be awesome if you are hanging around to watch I really need to get my act together and be a faster editor 😂 Thanks for the lovely comment

@@wanderinghonda7963 I also follow the "Jammy gits" because i i´m itrested i TET and in the Honda 300 Rally. Loved the episode when you met eachother.

They are such a lovely couple! I really enjoyed bumping into them

Thanks for the comment! I definitely don’t hear that but it’s a huge compliment 😂 Thank you

Thanks 😊. That nav tablet is a Samsung active tab 3 We did a video with an in depth review of our set up and I think we went through the nav set up more in depth if that helps CRF300 Adventure Travel Set-up th-cam.com/video/qfA59o7PkjU/w-d-xo.html

It’s a stunning place isn’t it! It’s on a high plateau in the Pyrenees. It’s episode 7 of the Pyrenees series on the channel if you’re interested Pyrenees ACT on CRF300’s Ep7 On A Mission to find the VW T1 camper van (Pic Negre) th-cam.com/video/AtaB4-0_0hM/w-d-xo.html

We agree! On all our previous bikes we’ve had barkbusters and they are brilliant (as long as you are not running stock bars otherwise the bar will bend before the protection which defeats the point of having a sacrificial part!) When I was getting these bikes ready for travelling they simply weren’t available so I had to fit these 🤦🏻‍♂️ We’ve actually used acerbis on this trip in Africa we’re currently on and they seem to have improved in strength! Having said that they work, sort of 😂 They are quick to put back to shape and they protect the levers Definitely agree about the quality of barkbusters though!

😂 New episodes are published on Friday afternoons (UK time) Unfortunately as you go back in time our episodes are probably not as well filmed or thought through. The film making is certainly a steep learning curve and hopefully we get better with each series After the last Scandinavian episode on Friday there’s a small gap of a week or so then a channel update with previews of the awesome African adventures we’re having this year I wish I could edit faster 😂

The Pyrenees is a nice series to watch perhaps while you wait if you enjoy nice scenery

@@wanderinghonda7963 Cheers for the heads up. I definitely want to watch the Pyrenees and you said Portugal and Wales were where the more technical trails were. I see you take a laptop with you. How do you manage to keep it charged long enough?

Electronics are the bane of my life! I carry a lot of kit now when travelling and charging is a constant job I carry two large power banks and Steff (who you’ll get to know from other series) also carries multiple large power banks.

@@wanderinghonda7963 I have enough issue just managing my phone, earbuds, torch and headlamp (my torch and headlamp use rechargeable 18650 batteries). I'm forming a mental image of you stopping at a "Hoity Toity Hotel" for a night and plugging in a bunch of power banks and electronics to charge them up to cover the next couple of days on the trail.

A pleasure!

I think I’m going to have to try a hammock!

@@wanderinghonda7963 I started with a DD Hammocks Travel Hammock/Bivi with a DD 3m x 3m tarp, made a lot of mods to the system. Now I've got a Onewind 11' hammock and a DD 3.5m x3.5m tarp - the whole lot packs down smaller than my 3-person tent and it's a lot taller than the tent when set up, a lot more space under the tarp than there is in the tent, too.

Martha and Mitch are such lovely people 😊

It’s interesting you mention the layering because we’ve considered doing a video on it. Obviously different things suit different people and we wouldn’t want to say our system is the best but I wish somebody had advised us when we first started adventure riding, they would’ve saved us thousands of pounds spent on the latest adventure suits with all of the marketing that goes on behind them The system we use works from freezing temperatures up to 40°C temperatures with just a few simple layering tricks Your comment has probably motivated me to do a quick video with Steph when I get back on what we wear when we travel on the bikes. It might be useful for some people.

@@wanderinghonda7963 Yes, please do make a video on that. In my case, the layering came from my camping background - except that on the motorbike there's the option of an armour layer - it occurred to me (sadly, only a couple of years ago) that the principles that applied to keeping me comfortable while camping _in whatever weather_ could be applied to motorcycling. Prior to that, I periodically suffered whenever the weather was either too hot or too cold for whatever expensive riding gear I was wearing. As you say, no system is the best and everything's a matter of what suits any given individual, but a video showing what you use might well help some people. May just do one of my own, now.

😂

I really laughed when Steff got me that shirt. The TET elsewhere (Wales and Portugal being examples that jump to mind) can get exceptionally technical, however, not Scandinavia. Sweden in particular is wonderfully mellow (although in a later episode you’ll see it’s got the very occasional muddy section).

@@wanderinghonda7963 Yeah, the shirt's epic. I've seen the sentiment expressed before and pairing it with Animal is just brilliant. Thanks for the advice on the TET. I'll have a look at your Portugal and Wales vids after I've finished the Scandinavian series. Lovely being able to see beautiful places around the world.

Enjoy! If we were recommending any riding trail in Europe I’d say the Pyrenees is a magical place. That’s the one place we’re definitely going back to soon The scenery is stunning and the trails were amazing. Although from what I’ve heard about NZ I suspect it’s nothing compared to the beauty you have on your doorstep

@@wanderinghonda7963 Cheers for that. We certainly do have some stunning scenery here - and the advantage of it is that it's relatively *_close_* if you want to get to it from wherever you happen to be. And whether you want to go backpacking, motocamping, road or trail riding, there's something for you, and our road-accessible Freedom Camping areas are plentiful. Oddly, it's only very recently I've merged my two loves: camping and motorcycling. It used to be that camping was backpacking up in the Kaimai Range or on Mt Pirongia and motorcycling was riding around the countryside, taking long trips to visit family or faffing about with my trail bike along the river bank or an Enduro trail. Closest I did to "motocamping" was attending the Cold Kiwi motorcycle rally a few times, from 2006 to 2010. Now I'm transitioning from backpacking to motocamping - so my equipment is largely my backpacking gear (in panniers rather than in a rucksack) carried on my GSX250R - but I can now consider taking more because weight is no longer the limiting factor.
