Bike packing The West Kernow Way Cornwall Aug 24
We spent three excellent days bike packing the West Kernow Way. Camped in Penzance on the night before we started and then stopped off to camp in Porthleven and St Day.
Great route but there are a few sections of hike-a-bike on the sections that use "footpaths" particularly across the moors.

We cycled the South Downs Way over three days so we could enjoy the route. Had fantastic weather and stopped off at East Harting and Clayton near Pyecombe. Cycled on weekdays which meant the trails were very quiet.

While I was in Tywyn I spent an afternoon doing a mountain bike ride over a couple of mountains to get to Bearded Lake. Then dropped down to the beach that runs from Aberdovey to Tywyn to make a superb loop.
Cycling To The Source of The River Severn

We did a ride from home in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, to follow the River Severn from the Severn Bridge that spans the estuary between England and Wales to the source of the river that lies in the mountains of mid west Wales, near to the peak of Pumlumon Fawr. We finished the ride on the west coast of Wales at Tywyn. The ride took four days and we were lucky to have fantastic weather.

My cycle journey on the Carretera Austral. Started in Puerto Varas about 20 Km north of Puerto Montt. Got pretty lucky with the weather but got delayed by four days at Villa O'Higgins waiting for the ferry to cross to Argentina and El Chalten because of high winds. There's a separate video of that part of my trip to El Calafate. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/w8flmu45FBM/w-d-xo.html

An insight into the Eroica ride at the home of L'Eroica in Tuscany, Gaiole in Chianti. I travelled out with my friend rich and met up with our Italian friends Franco and Luca who showed us around and made the experience so much better. We had a really hot day to do the ride but the atmosphere and route were fantastic.

What a great ride. Did you get the train back ?
Yes we got a train from Tywyn back to Gloucestershire. Worked well.
Nice - I really must do this .. I grew up in Mullion so know all the places very well. Just got some bike packing bags for my Sonder Camino.
I’m signed up for the long course hope I don’t chicken out. Your film gave me hope
Absolutely MEGA! I’ve tried the hardest ascent a couple of years ago! Impossible. What gearing did you use? I had a compact and about a half mile from the top, my legs screamed no more.
Thanks for your comments, for your info I used a compact with a 11-34 on the back.
Nice work done this twice many years ago but always started at Eastbourne and rode back
Terrible weather but brilliant day. Thanks for everyone who helped organise and support it.
Can you see Long Man of Wilmington from the track?
Hi, it's a very short detour off the actual SD Way but very close. I didn't realise we were next to it so missed out on seeing it unfortunately.
@@doublebilly1 OK that's helpful- thanks.
Nice ride, I did cwm to tywyn this year, on an emtb. That was a gnarly climb there for you, never heard of bearded lake.
The Panorama trail runs from above Aberdovey all the way to Bearded Lake, superb views.
Great video well done to you both.
Thanks for your comment glad you liked the video
Doesn’t look too much fun on those busy roads.
Que buen viaje!
Gracias
Brilliant video, well done guys
Thank you! 👍
Nothing but respect for doing the long course - I did the 106km route and it nearly broke me
Steve is definitely a great guy, brother and brother-in-law!
He's definitely a top mam, brother and brother in law!!
congratulations! memories for life, what a ride this must have been :)
Thanks, yes it was fantastic and highly recommended
Nice one another adventure ticked off the list.🎉
Yep a superb weekend, plenty more adventures to get done
Great video. Inspiring
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant record of an amazing trip. Congratulations to you all especially my brother-in-law Steve 🎉😊
Thanks for the comment, a fantastic trip and Steve is a top man and brilliant to go on a trip with 👍
Great video very well shot. One for the list.
Thanks for the comments, really appreciated
Hey good video. I'm planning to return to my homeland NZ end of the year. I'll be on a road bike so I'm keen to stay on the roads and take it in stages. I'm mapping out a more scenic route - first up is the cape to my house on the east coast by Pakiri north of Auckland. I'm gonna take a coastal route so head towards the Bay of Islands and over to Russell then take the back road to Whangarei etc. I'll probably try the East Cape from Tauranga round to Napier after that. I've biked most of the lower north island as I grew up in Wanganui, so I might do the Ruapehu National Park to Raetihi and then on to Wanganui. South Island route has yet to be determined but I may follow most of your route. Thanks for the video 🙏
Thanks for the positive comments, glad you enjoyed it. Enjoy your ride through NZ
Looks awesome! I'm doing it in July. What model Garmin did you use for navigation?
Hi, thanks for the message, I used a Garmin Edge 1030, but also had a backup on my Ride with Gps app on my phone.
Hello, great video. Do you have a gear list of what you took? Or anything you took that you think you didn't need?
Hi glad you enjoyed the vid. If you send me your email I can send some photos of the kit and a few comments on kit. Thanks Dave
Good ride. I enjoyed that meander through mid Wales. Can't beat that part of the country. There's a reason why they call the Cambrians the last wilderness of Wales. Good going. Mark
Thanks for your comments, great place to ride.
@@doublebilly1 That's alright mate. 1 comment and no rapport.
Amazing bike adventure!!
I would love to get a copy of your gear list also. Am doing this with 7 other friends in Feb 2020. My email is libby.lyver@gmail.com Your video is great as it takes me back over many of the trails I have done and am looking forward to doing again but also shows me the new ones I will be doing.
Thank you for the great video. I've discovered a couple of new bands to listen too, Little Hurricane and All them Witches.
What bike are you riding ?
Hi, It's a 29er Lapierre Prorace 629. I used 2.25 tyres. Cheers
Great trip. Is it a designated trail or do you have to string individual trails together so you can to make the route? There seemed to be a fair bit of road riding at times. I remember going up and over the beautiful pass going by Cardona Hotel when it was a rough dirt track back in the early 1990s. Sadly now it looks like a proper road. The rain forests of the west coast of the south island and the lakes Wannaker, Tekapo were stunning. Did you stay in accommodation every night or did you wild camp some of the time? The guy Chris was a star for towing you. Wow! Definitely on my to do list but with the Old Ghost Road some how thrown in. Riding along the beaches at the start was epic. Thanks for making and sharing your excellent video.
Alex thanks for your great comments. It is a recognised route linking trails and bike routes together but there is inevitably chunks of road riding especially the last few days. I camped for approximately half the nights then used cabins etc on the other nights (not much price difference particularly on South Island). All the info is on the Tour Aotearoa website, hope you get to ride it. Cheers
@@doublebilly1 Many thanks for your reply. This autumn is looking the earliest opportunity but NZ has very strict travel restrictions at the moment. Sadly I don't think they are letting tourists in just now. Not sure. Useful info none the less. Thanks again.
Really awesome adventure :) I's inspiring in near future to cross this awesome country, cheers
Stay away from the main roads...its faar to dangerous...I went around the North and South Island...11 000km...thank god I survived it......
Nice work.....definitely a highlight of 2020. I watched every second.
Hey thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Did you see anyone riding with 28mm tyres?
Hi, most people I saw were using hard tail mountain bikes with 29er wheels so the tyres were much larger than 28mm. A few people were on gravel bikes so I guess the tyres on these were smaller but I would suggest that 28mm was unnecessarily small, although you'd be quicker on the road sections.
Nice video! Any chance of a gear video or gear list? Looked like you packed down pretty efficiently - did you take a tent etc?
Finn, I have photos of all of my kit so I'm happy to send them to you if you post your email. Thanks
@@doublebilly1 Thanks! barnett.finn@gmail.com
Hi dave. I send you a email Kia Ora Derek
Hi Dave I want to ride the tour in 2022 and am curious if you have switched everything off on your GPS (garmin) in advance and which overnight stays you have done. I am from the Netherlands myself and cycle about 11,000 km a year. Shall I give you your email address so that I can ask you more? Kia Ora Derek
Hi Derek, If you post your email address I'll get in touch. I'm happy to share any knowledge with you. Dave
@@doublebilly1 Thanks. derekniet@hotmail.com
Hi Dave, this is a great video, is there any chance I could get some info on your journey as well please.
James if you post your email address I'll email you and I'm happy to share info if it will help you.
@@doublebilly1 newton8851@hotmail.co.uk, thanks
I'm from NZ, awesome vid showing the journey! Any chance you'd know the make/model of your sunglasses? Looking to get something similar with a good wrap around the face, covering your peripherals.
Hi Aitken, thanks for the comments about the vid, appreciated. Unfortunately there is no makers name on the glasses, I picked them up from a small cycle shop in West Wales about five years ago when I was touring there, after breaking my previous pair.
@@doublebilly1 Damn! Suppose we'll never know. Thanks for getting back to me.
Enjoyed thank you for sharing Dave
Great vid mate👍
Thanks glad you enjoyed it 👍
Hi Dave, Thanks for a wonderful momento and congratulations on a great effort to get to Bluff. Loved "Hotel California" and the bungee!
