Cheers mate 👍🙏

Cheers mate, thanks for the invite & hospitality 🙏 great weekend 👍

Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you 🙏 thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Hi, I’m using a 6 speed flat bar Brompton so I think in 2019 it would’ve just been called an S6L. Ive since added titanium fork + seatpost + mudguard

@@self-propelledfun thanks for the info. Very useful. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos 👍

@andrewroche2815 all said, the new G line 8spd will be the way forwards as it’s designed to be used for this situation. We’ve always just made the Brompton work for this purpose because there was no folding alternative. Exciting times - Thanks for watching 👍🙏

Haha thank you 🙏 things are busy at the moment but I’ll see what I can do

Thank you 🙏

Thanks for watching! Yeah they were more surprised that I’d actually told them than anything else. I just didn’t want a crew to launch because someone had seen someone on the island and called it in

Thank you very much - very kind words from you 🙏

Thanks so much mate 👊

Thanks! That’s high praise indeed 👌 cheers for watching 👍

Cheers mate! 👍 three main things outside of the Brompton itself (and I appreciate there’s a couple of £100 here but I don’t own a car and this is my thing): * MSR Windburner Stove - anytime it’s windy and you don’t have shelter this is the best * GoPro Max camera - everything that’s got me in it from a distance near or far * iPhone 12 Camera - all the other bits * Aeropress Travel - compact espresso / coffee brewer, absolute must. * Espresso Coffee - no compromise on espresso, normally Lavazza

@@self-propelledfun Perfect! I was interested in the stove because anytime ive tried boiling water outside in any sort of wind it required several objects (or mates) surrounding it to get it to boil in a decent time haha. Look forwards to the next one.

@traderbean-btc485 yes mate, used to have a trangia, tried pocket rockets and they’re small + light but if you want a brew in the wind then MSR Windburner 👍

Thanks Jay 👍🙌

Thank you Paul 🙏

Yep, you got me, been a bit slow of late - but with the smell of spring cut grass I feel alive again. I’ll get on it. Cheers Paul 👍

Cheers Sion 👍

Haha, yes time’s flown between videos and yes at this age it’s very much use it or lose it 😂 dropping in on vert is hardcore, I did the same as you when I was learning many years ago. Missed the transition and landed on all fours from 12ft. I feel your pain 🤛

Cheers J 👍

Cheers Stu, hoping to avoid A+E 😂 hoping you’re all good

Haha, cheers mate you’ve literally made my day! Very kind of you 👍

👍 thanks mate

Thank you Greg, thanks for watching 👍

Sounds ominous! Glad I didn’t hear them before my stay 🤣

Thank you John, much appreciated 🙏

It’s a Hilleberg Akto you’ll find them online. Expensive but quality for years of use in tough conditions

Wales for trails! Hope you find it, enjoy!

Thanks, yeah horrific in reverse on the climb though 🤯

Ha! Thanks @zoemac74 that’s cheered me up! I bought before the new lines in 2019 so I’ve got an S6L (flat bar 6 speed + added the mud guards afterwards)

Yea a GoPro max 360. Although for most the phone camera. Hope the gimbal works out for you. Thanks for watching 👍

Cheers Stu! Hope you’re well? Will be playing catch up on your vids soon

@@self-propelledfun I’m good thanks and hope you are too. I’ve just got back from a very wet hike up in the Scottish Borders which will be the last for this year I expect. More time for the bikes though 👍

Thank you Geoff. Yes a GoPro Max 360. Great for capturing everything but a lot of editing even before film editing. I use a smartphone for all the static shots though. Glad you enjoy Brompton outings as much as me

Too true! Thanks for watching 👍

Cheers mate! Hope you’re racing well

@@self-propelledfun it's been a good year of racing for me.. bagged bronze at the European cross duathlon a few weeks ago 😁👍 .. will I see you at Afan Extreme in November?

Congratulations mate, that’s an awesome result! Taking a break from racing and see how it goes

👍 thanks very much Paul

Yep 👍

@@self-propelledfun yep there's two tracks side by side each other, that lead down from the top when you come off the gravel track, if I remember rightly. I took the track to the right tearing down the steeps into the deep woods. Came out at the bottom onto the concrete cycle path, and picnic tables on my right, and the railway pub just up on the left.

Thank you Robin 👍 much appreciated, thanks for watching!

Ha! That’s the one! 👍

@@self-propelledfun I literally went for a site visit there a few months back. If you go past it next year, look out for the new entrance gate house below the yellow stair tower, should be finished by then

Thanks for watching! I do not like the sound of bears 😳 luckily there aren’t any In this country unless they’ve escaped from somewhere.

Thank you so much Miriam! Much appreciated and thanks for watching 👍

Thanks mate, until someone else pointed it out I didn’t realise how close I came to losing it in the sea. Glad you enjoyed !

Thanks Hollie - yep I’m always learning and mostly the hard way! Likely used three times the fuel leaving it so exposed. Yes the views, solitude and a fire make it special. 👍

Thanks very much for watching! Thanks to the Clyne riders we get to hurt ourselves up there. How’s that thumb today?

@@self-propelledfun thanks for your kind response. I was up there on Friday just gone, less than 10 minutes from my home in mumbles it is. I was walking with my missus up the trek just having a nose about seeing where I went wrong (got to be around it see). Nice to walk it slowly the different tracks and see how dangerous it is, lol. Yes my hand is in plaster temporarily. Should be coming off in about 10 day's time. My ADHD impulses see compel me to peddle faster than I should, my fear levels as a neuro-divergent are a lot less lower than neuro-normals. I still get the fear of going to fast downhill, round the burns, over the jumps etc. But it's a lot lower than normal people. The process of that fear and the conclusion could be nasty accident, I get about 5% Whereas a normal would get after the conclusion of the process of fear about 80% That's why I end up doing crazy daredevil shit, Ha 🤣🤣🤣 lol. As a child I wanted to be a Stuntman, in a strange kind of way I ended up one, lol,my missus is the same with her ADHD and the process of fear, she wanted to be a stuntwoman as a kid to. Though she's more of a BMX flatlander, tricks on the pegs etc. Bless you.

Haha, thanks Paul - I did a lot of swearing and sped the video up so it can’t be heard. I now carry a tent peg with me if I’m recce-ing a site to test the soil depth 😂

Cheers mate! Good to hear from you - I’m not deliberately trying to make you homesick with each video 😂 lucky to have these places to go to. You’ll be back soon visiting I hear?

@@self-propelledfun haha, yea, every video is bitter sweet! Back at the end of July for 6 weeks. Can’t wait mate. Hopefully I can catch some of that nice weather you’re having!

Thank you, thanks for watching!

Ah thanks so much Stu, it’s only just dawned on me that it would’ve been game over if it’d gone. I’ll definitely use your mooring method next time. Yeah, it’s important to show the bits that don’t go smoothly. Thanks again as always 🙏

Thanks very much Stu. 👍 you’ve been quiet, you good?

@@self-propelledfun Yes all good. I’m setting off soon to hike Hadrians Wall coast to coast so I’m looking forward to that. It will probably be my next TH-cam venture and it’s a week where all I have to do is put one foot in front of the other. Perfect.

That sounds like an adventure! Great stuff 👍

Thanks very much 👍 much appreciated

Thank you, there’s more than I included - a machine gun position used to cover the causeway in WW2 from the island too. Thanks for watching 👍
