You do live in a splendid area sandy 👌 All those lovely cottages and beautiful countryside 👏👏👏🇬🇧 My wife had a good chuckle , when you commented its better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission 👌👍
@Wiltshire Man push the boundaries ( push the button ) have you seen my latest post on insta Sandy ( sugar babes push the button , 61 and counting down 🤷♂️🙈👍
Great to see you finish your vlog in Marlborough. I was born 68 years ago in the cottage hospital at the top of the hill. You and your friend did a really nice ride around the beautiful Wiltshire country side, I certainly saw some good places to visit. Thanks for all your efforts in bringing this vlog to us all. Phil S. 🇬🇧
Great video! I had my hip replacement 7 weeks ago and I’m back cycling and lifting weights in gym. Going on a canoe trip in Easter holidays. If your hip is bad, get it done it’s brilliant. Great inspirational stuff from you, Sandy 👍
Great video Sandy, and well done to you and Tony for completing the trip. It's great to see the some new (to me) places and some that I recognise. I don't usually make New Years' resolutions, but I resolved this year to wild camp at least once every month, so I bivvied on 27th Feb. Cold night, but fine with my Nordisk sleeping bag and down jacket. Maybe you were out then too?
WELLDONE Steve, a noble thing to Wildcamp once a month and thats something I shall try and do also. I got my dates wrong on this video, we actually set out on Wednesday and got back today (Friday) the 3rd of March. It will soon be Spring. The Ortleib panniers are fantastic:)
In 20 years or so when I approach your age, I plan on keeping strong through biking like you. Very inspiring! Biking kept me healthy in my youth and to this day and it will when I retire some day as well!! One of my favorite things, clears the mind as well.
Thank u for taking me along, I’ve longed to visit England, my mom, daughter and sis have, I use as well, until that day I enjoy beautiful England vicariously through videos like yours, and oh, I think the goggles look cool!
Your videos inspired me to bring my wife to Swindon for a few day's holiday. We accessed the downs to the South, the hills to north and went north west . It was a really nice part of the UK to take time out. Thank you Sandy.
While I am hardly a fan of suburban, let alone urban environments, I do and have always enjoyed pastoral scenes. Enjoyed this video and gave it a thumb's up Sandy. Steer clear of the cars as much as possible; cheers!
It’s so heart warming to see you with your vintage bike, brings back childhood memories (57 years young), none of this TH-cam/influencer electric bike freebies working on the wrecked health of a generation of Congo child lithium miners!
That was an extremely beautiful and interesting bicycle excursion Sandy. You are so fortunate to have such interesting and historical terrain in locations that are so near where you live. I think that this ride would remain very interesting and inspiring even after being repeated numerous times. And I am very pleased to see that you are still putting the old and nostalgic bike that you have in service every once in awhile. It appears to be a grand old machine that deserves a little occasional highlighting. Your sixty years old legs propel that 40 years old bike along very well my friend. As always, thank you so much for sharing your time with us. See you on the next one.
Brilliant video Sandy. I really enjoyed seeing your tour. There are some lovely villages around there. You must be fit as a fiddle covering that distance, very impressive. Thanks for the film.
Wonderful vid. A lovely tour around a lovely county. We are so lucky to have it on our doorstep. I know it hasn’t got the mountains or the coast but it has got plenty to keep me happy. I shall now seek out Crumbz cafe. Thanks
Ah splendid sandy, I’m laying here just having had my wisdom teeth out. I’m very spaced out & not allowed to do a lot as I’m still feeling the effects of conscious sedation drugs. Finally something good to watch. By the way Biggles didn’t look a plonker in his goggles, he looked an Ace!
Wow Sandy, the way you described Swindon at the beginning of the video it sounded like you were talking about Detroit, MI, or innumerable other urban places here in our dear USA. Yet, what I viewed seemed quite clean and civilized!
What a beautiful county Wiltshire is. I really enjoyed the video Sandy, thank you. The description of Swindon made me laugh, have to say that having been there many times I agree with you 🤣🤣
That was awesome sandy, really enjoyed that vid 😊 and a guest appearance by funky prepper out of nowhere 😂 what more could you want ? Ticks all our boxes 😉😳😂👍♥️
Bike ride, wild camp and cake, what's not to like! I've just stumbled across your channel and have subscribed. Thanks for sharing your trip and I love the glasses. A good friend said when he first saw me wearing mine, ' I like those, they make you look very intelligent! We're still friends 😁
Thanks for the Marlborough cafe recommendation.I rode there today on the Honda 500 cbx after doing a few great roads in the area, particularly the B road which picks up Hackpen Hill and the lanes over Pewsey Downs.Lovey coffee and food.Great vid! Ride safe.Richard Bristol
Good to see you using your Romany. I like all your content Sandy, but like your cycling and camping videos the most. I love motorcycles too everything two wheels, but if I could only keep one of them it would be my bicycle, but which one! It would be like choosing which of your children to give up. I think it would be my Brompton. Simply the best machine I have ever bought. ATB.Already looking forward to your next video.
Poor old swindon, it had some lovely buildings in the past but they knocked them all down, now it's becoming a ghost town with closed shops every where
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. Some beautiful places along the way. Great footage too from the handle bar camera. Must be a good one as no vibration!
Those were all very nice spots. I tried all types of glasses before I started wearing a full face helmet on the motorcycle. Goggles worked best and never came loose or off. I didn't care if my friends made a little fun since they would look like they got hit with pepper spray by the end of a long day and I didn't . That last cafe stop looked like a slice of heaven.
Hi Ho ! Sandy! great adventure, and once again. you take me thru or near namesake towns and villages to here. I"m only 18 miles from Shaftsbury vt here. and I have an Aunt that lives in Salisbury Ma on the atlantic, and Avon Ct is not far from here. Once again all familiar names to me. guess that's why we call it "New England" huh!. seems like all of your neighbors of old came here and started all these name sakes good show!. still waiting for our CW Qso! but I"m a patient Man but keep in mind pushing 80! (next Month) so for me time is of the day and even the hour. tnx agn Sandy and God speed. de Ellis WA1RKS
Another great video sandy , would have loved to see more though, i think you could have easily done 4 videos on that route and uploaded them individually at @30 min each. Keep up the good work
A pleasurable tour Sandy and Co, recognised and been to a lot of area's, Hungerford Castle has a daunting history behind it, Clay Hill back in the 80's was the best spot in the country for the sighting of UFO's, apparently, Salisbury Cathedral was built using the stone from the Cathedral William the Conqueror had built at Old Sarum, he moved down to where Salisbury now is, his Castle and Cathedral remains are still there on Old Sarum Hill Fort, he paid his generals there for invading us in 1066. Enjoyable video mate, all the best to you and Mandy.
Love my Ionosphere, I bought mine about a year ago and I've used it quite a bit. The worse weather I tried it in was late November in a yellow warning storm with wind 50+, it was rock solid and totally dry, great tent.
Hell of a distance to cycle Sandy at any age, but at 60, well done young man 👏👏
Your cycling videos are an absolute joy to watch Sandy, only problem is they never seem long even😁 thanks for taking us along.
Thanks Susan glad you are enjoying the cycling videos, I shall be doing more as the year unfolds
You do live in a splendid area sandy 👌 All those lovely cottages and beautiful countryside 👏👏👏🇬🇧 My wife had a good chuckle , when you commented its better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission 👌👍
I think we should all push the boundries a bit now Martin!
@Wiltshire Man push the boundaries ( push the button ) have you seen my latest post on insta Sandy ( sugar babes push the button , 61 and counting down 🤷♂️🙈👍
Brilliant
I can now cycle 100 miles in a day if I have too but I'd rather not have too:)
Sandy, as always it’s such a pleasure following you on your adventures.
Great video, and I loved the little musical interludes.
Great to see you finish your vlog in Marlborough. I was born 68 years ago in the cottage hospital at the top of the hill.

Thanks Phil :)
Really enjoyable video, nice and chilled.
"Once youve visited Swindon anywhere else will be lovely" Cracked me up did that Sandy.
Haaha, sad but true, it doesn't have much of a soul these days
Sandy, I found it humorous that the guy was playing at the beginning of the video "On the Road Again". Wow, great trip, thanks for the video. dit dit
That was a happy coincidence I reckon:)
Great video! I had my hip replacement 7 weeks ago and I’m back cycling and lifting weights in gym. Going on a canoe trip in Easter holidays. If your hip is bad, get it done it’s brilliant. Great inspirational stuff from you, Sandy 👍
I've got a dodgy hip Dave, but fortunately cycling doesn't cause me any problems
A nice trip with your friend Sandy…. As you say it will be great when the warmer weather comes along ☀️
It's always good to have good friends!
Tony's Alright :) He makes good desicions...most of the time:)
Ahhh that was really lovely, thank you for taking us on your journey. Salisbury Cathedral old religion and new. I know which I prefer, Christianity.
You will love this YT video Anne th-cam.com/video/64K7HmLM54Y/w-d-xo.html
cracking video , most enjoyable, many thanks for sharing 👍👍👌👌
Thanks both, we enjoyed that immensely. J&A&B&T
Careful Sandy, you are really whetting my appetite for cycling again - you could be the death of me 😂😂😂
Happy Days Brother 👍 🍻 🍻 🍻
Haaha, go for it, just keep breathing and don't overdo things
Great video Sandy, and well done to you and Tony for completing the trip. It's great to see the some new (to me) places and some that I recognise.

A Wonderful choice of music
Loved it Sandy, just loved it.......
Thanks Sandy. Another great trip. And so nice to see the snowdrops in flower. Living here in Spain, we never see them. Cactus flowers instead😊
In 20 years or so when I approach your age, I plan on keeping strong through biking like you. Very inspiring! Biking kept me healthy in my youth and to this day and it will when I retire some day as well!! One of my favorite things, clears the mind as well.
You won't go wrong if you regularly cycle, it will keep your body and mind working
Thank u for taking me along, I’ve longed to visit England, my mom, daughter and sis have, I use as well, until that day I enjoy beautiful England vicariously through videos like yours, and oh, I think the goggles look cool!
Thanks Trooper there are still some lovely rural parts of Olde England still too be found
Great effort, Sandy. Hope the goggles did the trick. I think you carried them off pretty well. All the best.
Your videos inspired me to bring my wife to Swindon for a few day's holiday. We accessed the downs to the South, the hills to north and went north west . It was a really nice part of the UK to take time out. Thank you Sandy.
While I am hardly a fan of suburban, let alone urban environments, I do and have always enjoyed pastoral scenes. Enjoyed this video and gave it a thumb's up Sandy. Steer clear of the cars as much as possible; cheers!
Hi Will the further away from the beaten track and the hustle of modern life the better:)
That was lovely to see all those villages again, thanks guys.
It’s so heart warming to see you with your vintage bike, brings back childhood memories (57 years young), none of this TH-cam/influencer electric bike freebies working on the wrecked health of a generation of Congo child lithium miners!

Thanks Terry, the old bike did very well and I reckon it is good for many more adventures in the future
Huge respect Sandy
Lovely video sandy much appreciated thanks for all your efforts putting it together .
Hey sandy brilliant video really enjoyed this one keep up the good work we love Wiltshire loads of walks n stuff
Too bad that monk didn't have a para -motor Sandy. I admire you for making a trip like that. Love the villages and the buildings.
Thanks for another great video Sandy! They are always brilliant!
Thanks for watching Allen
Thanks for posting Sandy, many places I knew in my youth that you went through.
Brilliant video Sandy. I really enjoyed seeing your tour. There are some lovely villages around there. You must be fit as a fiddle covering that distance, very impressive. Thanks for the film.
Bloody hell it looks nice Daz and they were very accommodating at the cafe.
👍
Hi from Ireland.. Great video, we really enjoyed it. We often visit the Cotswolds area in our campervan..thanks again.
Hi from Ireland again.. I found what I was asking you for on Wiltshire Council page.. Thanks.
I really like those goggles Sandy. Wouldn't mind some like that. Nice video thank you.
Thanks Graeme they saved my eye thats for sure
Wonderful vid. A lovely tour around a lovely county. We are so lucky to have it on our doorstep. I know it hasn’t got the mountains or the coast but it has got plenty to keep
me happy. I shall now seek out Crumbz cafe. Thanks
There's still a fair bit of hill climbing to be had in the south of the county Steve
Ah splendid sandy, I’m laying here just having had my wisdom teeth out. I’m very spaced out & not allowed to do a lot as I’m still feeling the effects of conscious sedation drugs. Finally something good to watch. By the way Biggles didn’t look a plonker in his goggles, he looked an Ace!
I know the pain of wisdom tooth extraction and also dry socket. You have my sympathy Andy
Wonderful trip, I have a love of old bridges, and those old stone bridges are wonderful, imagine the stories they could tell.
Wow Sandy, the way you described Swindon at the beginning of the video it sounded like you were talking about Detroit, MI, or innumerable other urban places here in our dear USA. Yet, what I viewed seemed quite clean and civilized!

Brilliant well done Sandy and ya pal 👍🏻👍🏻🚴🚴
Bike ride, wild camp and cake, what's not to like!
I've just stumbled across your channel and have subscribed.
Thanks for sharing your trip and I love the glasses.
A good friend said when he first saw me wearing mine, ' I like those, they make you look very intelligent! We're still friends 😁
Thanks Colin, I am very happy with the googles, now I can cycle in relative comfort:) Thanks for subscribing
I really enjoyed this

I love my Brompton, it's the bike I ride the most
Thanks so much for taking this trip on with your friend in midwinter - great to watch as always! 👍😃
Lovely tour and a great video! I enjoyed watching, why is it when we're younger we all rush about, looking back it seems foolish. 🙂👍
I like the goggles! Interesting journey.
Nice spin that Wiltshire is a beautiful County. Salisbury Cathedral is spectacular, tallest spire in the country.
I do love your videos Sandy! Please continue sharing them with us as long as possible!
Brilliant. Your reason for why everyone should visit Swindon made me laugh out loud. Thanks for another great video.
Poor old swindon, it had some lovely buildings in the past but they knocked them all down, now it's becoming a ghost town with closed shops every where
Lovely - I recognised several areas. Great videography, nicely edited 👍
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. Some beautiful places along the way. Great footage too from the handle bar camera. Must be a good one as no vibration!
Thanks 👍
Very nice spring trip! I feel like going somewhere! Greetings from the Czech Republic!
There is always that one constant with your travel videos Sandy and that's cake. 😀
Haa thats true Simon, the good thing with cycling is you burn calories and that means I can eat more cake:)
Those were all very nice spots. I tried all types of glasses before I started wearing a full face helmet on the motorcycle. Goggles worked best and never came loose or off. I didn't care if my friends made a little fun since they would look like they got hit with pepper spray by the end of a long day and I didn't . That last cafe stop looked like a slice of heaven.
The only problem with the gogles Jim was I can't wear corrective glasses under them
Fair play to you Sandy . You keep doing them things i can't ! ✊
I hope I can keep on going for a few more years Stina:) Still feel quite young and fit even though I'm over 60
I admire your stamina Sandy. 🥸
The plonker and the dented bike . Great stuff keep it up bud
Haaha, thats right:)
Great video as always! Really enjoy seeing this scenery; it’s like seeing living history in real time; very much enjoy it!
Yes it is like living history your right

Ready to go on 20 meters for when you want that sked Ellis?
Well done Sandy. Great video.. :)
Very much enjoyed the video, looked like a very interesting route. I'll be sure to visit Krumbz next time I'm in Marlborough too.
Another great video sandy , would have loved to see more though, i think you could have easily done 4 videos on that route and uploaded them individually at @30 min each. Keep up the good work
Sandy you are a true gentleman.. love to watch these videos mate.
Thanks Pill
That was great, Sandy! Really enjoyed that adventure. You've inspired me to get out there on the bike and see what there is to be seen.
Thank you again for these trips, Sandy. 😀🙂👍
Thanks Brian
Brilliant thanks for sharing your adventures keep them coming please
Sandy i actually like the goggles. They look fine and if they function to help your eye id say happy days. Ive seen plenty of cyclists wearing similar
Plonker IS as Plonker does eh .. Well done Sandy. Thanks.
Always a pleasure to tag along with you on your adventures, Sandy. And that Funky can pop up anywhere, at any time😂
Just what I need right now Sandy. Thank you. Boy I need to get riding again. ❤
Hi Graham
I hope your starting to feel better, there is no doubt about it a good ride does clear the head and make us feel better.
Thank you for sharing your adventure! Thank you for taking me along, Sandy. Cheers!
Many thanks Dan and glad you enjoyed the journey
@@WiltshireMan You're very welcome, my friend!
Good trip Sandy perhaps we’ll do the Shaftbury leg on the motorbikes on a warmer day!
I'm up for that, infact we could ride the whole route in one day
Great views of Wiltshire and great viewing as usual Sandy.
A lovely tour😊thx
Really enjoyed this. 180 miles is not to be sniffed at!! Keep up the great videos of your journeys, they are brilliant.

Thanks for taking us along. Such a delightful and historic county.
Just subscribed total enjoyment
Excellent, Thanks Mark and welcome to my channel:)
Good effort old bean, some beautiful countryside and buildings. Just need the leather flying helmet to finish the look.
It was a great ride Si, you would love it :)
Thanks for the time and effort you have put into this, my motto at seventy-one years of age is, to use it or lose it.
Thats a good motto:)
Hi Sandy, nah the goggles look good.
much better than my glasses^^
U are my motivation! Great ride there!
Thanks, Glad to know you have enjoyed the video
A really enjoyable video, thanks!
Great trip, thanks for bringing us along.

I think I shall use this tent quite a bit during the spring summer and autumn too
