@sing_cycle_referee that weather reminds me how I started Wolf Way in May. You certainly need some good weather to get the best out of these tracks/ trails - best of luck next time you ride it 👍🏻

@@Gazzaivey yes

Thank you for the feedback, very much appreciated.👍

I used my garmin gps to follow the route. The route can be downloaded here- www.cyclinguk.org/route/rebellion-way-map-and-gpx-file If you do not have a GPS you should consider downloading an app such as strava that you can import the gpx file into. Google maps also accepts the gpx file but can't give directions as far as I'm aware. The best of luck on your journey, it's a great route.

Thanks, I've updated it. Please let me know if it's working for you?

@redo109 thank you. I used a Go Pro Hero 12, which has 3 batteries and was enough power to record the 6 days without recharging, 128Gb memory card. I also carried 2x 26000mah battery bank power just in case. My drone is a DJI Mini 4 which also has 3 batteries also 128gb memory card. I recharged one battery but again there was more than enough power... I had an anker wall charger that runs 3 x USB and could have used one of the places I stopped to eat and recharge. I'm new to editing so I really do appreciate your input.

@@ISF77 Thanks for the info Ian, pretty good battery management to last the whole ride. I have one 10,000mah battery I use to keep my GpPro 10 running on long rides might be worth investing in another. I thought maybe you were using an Insta 360 camera because of the smooth pans to the side and rear. I did some bikepacking about 20 years ago before retirement and would like to do some more now. Your setup looked nice and compact have you thought about a video showing how you pack everthing and what equipment you use for the trips. Cheers and keep up the good work Richard

@@redo109 The GoPro Hero 12 doesnt have any GPS so it doesnt drain the battery is reduced compared to previous versions. I have additional content planned to compliment the NC500 videos but will only release when I have more time to do a good job with them. I also have a few more "excursions" planned in the next few weeks so will see what I can do.

Hi kevin, if you're referring to the sign at 6:56 then this is part of the recognised route from www.cyclinguk.org/route/wolf-way (Google Co-Ordinates appx 52.134698, 1.508635). On the Open street maps it highlights this part as a local cycleway on the wolf way - www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.1416/1.4971&layers=C On the Rendlesham / Tunstall forestry commission plan (2021 - 2031) it has this part of the route listed as a "public right of way" listed as the "viking trail shortcut"; The viking trail is a recognised cycling route consult.forestryengland.uk/forest-districts/rendlesham-and-tunstall-forest-plan-2021-2031/supporting_documents/Rendlesham%20%20Tunstall%20Plan%2020212031.pdf. Also Strava sees this as a cycleable route (it wouldnt allow it to be plotted if you could not)I hope that this satisfies your concerns everything about this part of the route is above board. If not, then it may be worthwhile raising your concerns through channels to correct the above references and route, which might be worth touching base with the creators of the route at cyclingorg as listed above.

@@ISF77 they need to change the sign then, thanks for letting me know.

hell yeah :-)

You play slightly off the beat,did you notice that???

@alessandroventura1330 agreed. Still lots of work on points for this. I had the backing track in my headphones watching the video, so there was a delay and couldn't quite hear. I also had just sort of worked out the keyboard riff for guitar and not confident enough when playing it, but decided I needed to do something to help myself... I've probably over complicated it, and It's definitely not perfect. But for me it's something to improve on. There are positives in it's the first time I've edited using two cameras and two audio tracks and highlighted I need to practise!

@@ISF77 next time you will do much better,hard work pays off!!! Greetings from Italy

Thank you for your comment. If it was easy I wouldn't feel like I achieved anything, things like this are the reason I get out of bed. I've spent many a year riding different places and have nothing to show for it other some lines on a map and fading memories... hence this year I've started to document my adventures, which is something new and can be more difficult than the riding putting it together but something I'm enjoying. I'll certainly revisit Scotland in the not too distant future.

Thanks Chris it was a good day out on the bike

Thank you, I didn't want to leave it too long before filling in those gaps and really enjoyed it..... as you well know the sand is a very small part of the route (I wouldnt need to put on my sand face if I didnt use my top heavy bike) ;-) plus I like a good grumble now and again, this is when you know I'm at my happiest. The tranquilty and changing scenery is what makes this route special... the more technical surfaces are short lived but the memories last forever (I stood under the tree at Dunwich Friary for over an hour to get my drone up, stopped countless times to watch animals, clouds, flowers..... time was irrelevent and thats how this route should be tackled). I'm looking forward to seeing what route(s) you guys come up with next! All the best Ian.

Thank you for the feedback, I intend to do a full length of this series, maybe in a few months and I'll hopefully get it right then.

Not all jokes, but you certainly added colour

Thank you for watching 👍

Thank you very much appreciated 👍🏻

I'd need to have shopping trolly trailer 🤣👍🏻

David, I think I preferred the Rebellion Way, that said I've ridden the parts of the Wolf Way this past weekend for the bits I missed (Orford/Aldeburgh/Dunwich>Southwold>Beccles). I'm currently editing my last episode of the North Coast 500 so it might be a week or so until I release this, but might be worthwhile you considering doing the East Wolf (Coastal Areas) then looping back your own way as there are some descent roads.

@@ISF77 good idea - I was looking at the East Wolf as an option if I had less time.

Thanks for the feedback, duly noted... I have the issue no body can hear me on a normal day with no music hence the AI voice for the overdubs. I'll see what I can do in the future.

Apologies for the delay responding I've been on another little adventure. Thank you for the info it's very much appreciated... the original plan was to eat breakfast at the Store Cafe but they opened up too late - there will be a next time!

I tend to stay seat on hills, just grind up them.... with living in Suffolk there is very little chance of me getting in hill practise. I've shared all of my Strava data so you can see what sort of efforts I am putting in, I just stick to an output that I am confident of keeping to. The gearing I had was GRX gravel group set 46/30 x 11/32 which was perfect for me. As you mentioned seems like the recumbent might be your best option, as long as you have you plan for charging. The only real steep bits were on the Belach Na Bah, Ep 4 at 4:40 and Lothmore... in that order for difficulty, each of which were not for too long. You can only give it a go.

The bridge features on the next episode which is Invershin bridge, to avoid this ride further south about 5 miles and you will be able to cross Bonar bridge and rejoin the route. I wouldn't recommend trying to go over Invershin bridge on the recumbent. The road is quite wide but is a main road A836 but time it right and you should be good.

you're too clever for your own good buddy :-)

There is alot of sun in Scotland , it is just hidden by thse blo?dy clouds.

@@ISF77 Everone loves a smartass

👍🏻17 - 22 May.... we've been rained on enough this year 😆 but we're certainly treated for those few days.

@@ISF77 thank you it looked great.

Thanks Barry, you get a mention in a future episode so watch out!

Your guess is as good as mine! but the evidence is there 💥🐺

lost my sense of smell with covid, so no need to change jerseys for at least 3 weeks` or until they can cycle themselves LoL

This made me smile, many thanks for watching.... I'm off to look for the sticker now 😆

Thanks for the comment. I started these videos keep the memories alive.... Fort William 🤔 might have to add that in next time 👍🏻

Thank you once again... Next episode will be a few days yet - it's got a lot of content and time consuming to make.

@@ISF77 I really appreciate it. Take your time , I will look forward to it whenever that may be.

Thank you very much appreciated.

Thanks for watching and your comment it's very much appreciated 👍🏻 next episode is currently being put together

Many thanks - really appreciated. With Episode 1 there wasn't too much to document but much better things are coming.

It was great fun, thanks for watching 👍🏻

Yep you're right.... Unsure tbh too long ago for me to check..maybe not as it uses more battery. I never intneded to keep any footage at the time of recording and did not use any software to correct on this one.

Thank you for your kind words. The coastal areas we are very much familiar with but will be going back to fix that gap... but certainly agree with you. Wolfy, who I rode with certainly enjoyed his beer in the brewery! This documented route will hopefully give some an idea on what to prepare for, and those gems not shown will be more worthwhile when others tackle the route.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. It's the original version, I think, from Mr Tabs. I recorded a few days ago alongside this solo. th-cam.com/users/shortsVUCkEv0GF5E?si=DZ5q-EKWE-yJKMft

Thank you 👍🏻

Thanks for the feedback. It is very much appreciated. The sound is through my PC (Amplitube) ....how technology has moved on from when the original was recorded. 👍🏻

We need to go back and ride the North side... sounds like a camper van job though 🙂

Absolutely ✅️ 👌👍

Not just yet, I'll get to it when I can dedicate some time to it.

Thanks Ian 👍🏻

Thank you Chris, not to everyone's taste but glad you appreciate it 👍🏻

Thank you, sometimes I can over play or be repetitive but when parts that stand out then I'll learn from them. 👍🏻

Thank you much appreciated 👍🏻
