Thank you very much ! Let me know if you do them :-)

Sorry only just seen this comment. Mate , the dog has regular stops with water (you will notice the water cannister on my waist) . It's just the way I've edited it pal.

Sorry yo hear you broke your ankle too. Bucky back out riding again . A group of us just got back from the pyrenees!

Yes mate definitely. Nothing really rocky

Really appreciate the comment Jason. Makes the shooting and editing wirth it knowing people appreciate it .

Nothing like a new bike day ! Hope you have some amazing adventures .

Thanks Michael for your nice words. There's probably a lot more signs up now than there was 20 years ago. I think I came across only 1 junction where you weren't sure which way . Such a beautiful ride !

Thos links hopefully will work !

July buddy . I'm gutted really it started raining as the last 3rd of the route is pretty much downhill if you go west to east and could of completed it in a day rather than the 2 days

​@MarkSawtell we are planning around the 18 May and streching it to 5 days. West to east. Taking it easy as we are a group of pensioner's 😀

@mbrylewski not far off a pensioner myself lol Let me know how you get on and any videos you do send me a link . It's a great ride , not too hilly and plenty of places to get a bite to eat . Will look forward to hearing how you got on !

@@MarkSawtell Would you mind sharing any accomodation information that you could recommend along the way?

@mbrylewski we stayed at a mates house that lived close to the route., but I did have a quick look for you and think you might find this website useful 👇 cycle.travel/route/c2c/stay

lol probable pluging them in every 50 miles

Youre not far wrong , we did this on 2 charges

I really wanted to gey that shot but it was exactly that , we wanted to crack on as was dodging sone pretty nast rainy clouds lol thanks for your comments :-)

Thank you and always welcome to join us on one of our adventures! Look me up on fb under marksawtell and send me a friend request

@MarkSawtell wow that's amazing thank you 😊

Thankyou !

Hey Ash. I got lucky with mine , got it off market place from a guy that moved from the states and had only flown it indoors. The issue you have now is with them not making them anymore rhe prices have gone up . There's a guy called Steve ambrose in the skydio fb groups who did have a few new ones . I've bought spares from him in the past and he's a legit guy . I think the cost though is about 2k for a new one from him . If youre gonna be using a drone for following you on a mountain bike I don't think any other drone comes close and I've got 4 other dji drones.

Another good one is the 100 mile south downs ride from Winchester to Eastbourne. Go west to east though as the winds are predominantly from the west lol

Ha ha i lived that downhill section. Thanks for the nice comment ...

Yeah we made a list minute decision to take a route of komoot that someone else had done and clearly they got lost lol. I need to get back up there as enjoyed the riding and scenery 👍 thanks for the comment pal

@@MarkSawtell let me know when you are planning on going back & I will see if I can meet up & show you around.

@yanmills that's very kind of you pal. Will do!

Yeah you need a spare battery as we did . We were lucky enough to have a friend who supported us in the van and met us at various points . If I was dping it without support., I'd of found a pub to dump the batteries at. If you get about 40 miles you probably need 3 tbh or break it up over 2 days with 1 spare battery

Nice meeting you pal. Thanks for taking a look at the channel. Was some mad trails in that ride lol hopefully see you again on another

Thanks for the kind comment . That seems strange. Mine keeps following regardless . It only hovers when you stop obviously . Has it got you in plain sight ? You're talking about the skydio 2+ right ?

Oh actually looking at the date of the video, you're talking about the air 2s. Even so it should continue to follow you regardless unless it loses sight of you

No its a bit of a con on there and doesn't help tbh . Best bet is just keep hitting tons of fb groups uve found is the best way but obviously takes alot of investment in time

Come to the dark side, you'll love it lol I got knackered knees from hmag gliding and they really help with hills . I've had a kidney transplant too so have to be careful with the stomach muscles as keeps splitting but ill keep riding till they cant patch me up anymore lol

@@MarkSawtell canyon strive ON delivery last week 💪

@phantombigballs8165 very nice !

There is quite a bit of it on roads to be fair but very quiet country roads and hardly saw any cars . As you go along you get offered an alternative off road section . I was amazed how well signposted either section was . You could do this pretty much without a gpx although there were a couple of sections where you could turn left or right and no signpost to confirm but if you didn't see a sign within a few hundred yards , you probably made the wrong choice lol. Thanks for the comment and yes deffo go do it 👍

Thanks for the kind comment phil 😊

Beautiful part of the country mate . We have made a few friends riding up there and try and get up there once a month . I've been a bit slow on edits due to other commitments (learning cad software for 3d printing and European trips ) but hope to be doing regular visits up there again!

Thank you for the kind comment

@@MarkSawtell Hi Mark, not seeing the GPX in there

​@stuover73 sorry stu , wrong link lol try this: drive.google.com/file/d/1_xnnr9zmdECINwcwNmm67d0msJcBQv5k/view?usp=drivesdk

@@MarkSawtell Thank you!

Thoroughly recommend it pal . Nice easy ride tbh and the scenery is the best

It was amazing and chips or ice cream at the end . What's not to like 🤣

Thanks Steve for the comment

We do too mate. Won't be long

I'm getting my hair done those days 🤣
