Hey Peaky Biker. Thanks for watching and your comment. Its a cracking place to ride around. I will be back there in October for a weekend as I am test riding an Africa Twin so looking forward to taking that beast around the lanes and roads. Cheers. Billy

Nicely done with the sheep too 👍🏻

Great video,I’ll be heading that way very soon,beautiful place…ride safe.

Did the track around the reservoir last week, fantastic isn't it 👌
Ah mate, its a really nice track to do. Great to hear you did it and enjoyed. A cracking locating. Cheers. Billy
I was there a week ago absolutely stunning and some good roads from Staffs, 👍👌
Nice one Simon. I am sure you had a good a time as I did. Thanks for watching. Cheers. Billy
Billy, stunning and a well needed pick me up. Keep going mate. You're doing great! ATVB
Hi Gary. Thanks for watching. Was a brill in many day. An amazing place to explore. Cheers. Billy 👍
Wow what a ride, been to wales a few times but not done that area, thanks for the video, will definitely do that this summer!
Thanks for watching and your comments. Much appreciated! Defo do it, it a great area to explore. Enjoy when you do it and let me know how you get on. Cheers Billy
@@BillysBikeAdventures might let you know at the ABR if I spot you amongst the thousands of bikes!
Great video showing off a terrific location, I was there only a week or so ago on the GSA. Well done and thank you for sorting that sheep out too, many people would have just ignored it and not realised that they cannot right themselves once they are on their sides. 👍👍👍
Hey Planet GSA. Great to hear you have experienced the same. A great location. Could not have left that sheep lying there. I was anticipating a bit more thrashing about but sheepy remained very calm. 👍
You and I seem to have the same Ideas about riding our bikes. Its not just the ride, or the destination, but the awesome views to be had along the way. and I also say.... Hey! I wonder where that track goes, then follow it.
We also seem to have the same ideas about our bikes as well. I also ride a 2020 Yamaha Tenere 700 (XTZ690) Blue Ice (fully modded) and a 2017 BMW R1200GS Rallye. AND both fitted with the Garmin Zumo XT GPS.. WTF?
I was starting to wonder if there was going to be any trees in this area.
Great video mate.
Keep them coming.
Have a great Day!

Hey mate. Thanks for watching, your comments and support! Great to have a kindred spirit all the way on the other side of the world! They are both great bikes, so good to have the choice of which to ride. Stay safe. Billy
Cracking weather
So you like the yam😳👍🙈
Hi Nigel The T7 handled itself with honours. Was a little uncomfortable by the end of the day but had such a great ride out. Has inspired me to do more with the Yam. Really enjoyed it 👍
Cracking ride… plan to do this tomorrow.. any nice satnav-ish locations to enter to get to the “top gear” roads at the end..?
HI Kal. Get yourself to Claerwen Reservoir. The dirt track that you see at the reservoir crossing point is the track I did at the end. About 6 miles long, brilliant. Thanks for watching. Cheers. Billy
Billy, you're lucky to see such beautiful sights. I want to go there too and enjoy the view. Can you tell me the three locations you go through the small rough road? My English isn't very good, so I apologize if I don't express myself well. Thank you.
Hi and thanks for watching. The two small tracks before the long one next to the lake are on National Cycle Route 81maps.app.goo.gl/NowvZaWjhqSfdBAw6 and the other next to the lake is here maps.app.goo.gl/5DVaCsP9pE2ttmw36. Hope you get to ride these locations. Cheers. Billy
That’s awesome great weather for it as well I went back to Shropshire Hills over the moors over to the border of wales got to close to the edge of the mountain near wales the bike got in a rut thought I was going over the edge jumped off dislocated my thump black eye big bruise on left leg that bmw SOS 🆘 I couldn’t answer it police ambulance mountain rescue people came what an episode knocked the GoPro off my helmet I waited for an hour for the pain to ease then carried on no footage of the incident somehow it was in photo mode shame would of made a good video. Bikes ok me thumbs still sore but getting there.
Fantastic place where your riding 👍👍👍
Mate Degs. What have you been p too. Glad to hear that bike is ok and that you are not to damaged. Could have been worst but thankfully not. My trip no where near as eventful as yours. I really enjoyed it and picked a great weekend. Stay safe mate. Billy
@@BillysBikeAdventures hi it happened Sunday just gone last year I was going to do the reservoir with a small bridge going across normally people take photos on that with there bike and a bit of drone footage really does luck and great adventure you had there 👍👍👍🙏🙏
This is the best video I've seen of the elan valley by far! I'm planing this trip in June.ive been using outdooractive ,viewranger.can you tell me if possible where is that byway where you stop on the bridge for a few seconds looking left and right? I think its the bridge in the thumbnail,
I need to ride that road! It looks awesome. Great series dude.
Hi there. Thanks for watching and your comments. Greta to hear that you liked the video and the content was helpful! Link for the location of the wooden bridge on the road called the National Cycle Route 81 goo.gl/maps/MzNTiLQyhxMxtNNR6 It unfortunately does not go very far but its worth the ride. Not sure if you watched all the video but toward the end there is a 6 mile byway that runs along one of the reservoirs. That on its own is definitely worth the trip to get there! Cheers Billy
@@BillysBikeAdventures oh yes I know that byway well that runs along side the reservoir...thank you so much for taking the time to post and for the information, hope you have a great new year and your adventures continue. All the best dude.
You're welcome. Happy New Year, have an amazing adventure through 2023! Cheers. Billy
Hi billy just bought my t7 what phone Mount are you using great vid hoping to go up there soon lucky for us live in Cardiff ride safe🏴
Hey MrSuperdoop. Thanks for watching and your question! Great bike, so welcome to the T7 club. The cross bar on the T7 runs with very high intensity vibrations so I would not recommend using your phone mount on that. What i have found is that the handle bar is the best place, in the middle between the bar clamps. I am currently using a quadlock mount on my GSA for this. I will send you the relevant deets for that mount as Quadlock offer different ring mounts o fit the differing handle bar widths. Cheers Billy
we dont need to do it you do it, . thanks for helping the sheep, he just fit in that gully. ha ha
Thanks for watching and your comment 👍 cheers. Billy
Hey Billy, very epic, most especially the dirt track routes (I really want to do the one that goes into the horizon), can you please share the GPX file?
Hi Caronte Cycles. This is a track off National Cycle Route 81. Its a no through road but goes for a bout 1/4 mile quite nice but does not lead anywhere unfortunately. Here are the Google map coordinates 52.346857, -3.649011 for where the track starts. :et me know if its this one you are talking about! Cheers. Billy
🤔 it’s a good ride out all be it not exactly epic .. its not over a particularly big area although there are some good views on the circuit
Hey, thanks for watching and your comments. 'Epic'.. depends on the viewer so for me brilliant place to ride especially the off roads bits . Appreciate its not everyone cup of tea. Cheers. Billy
Please send me the file! 😮
Have you got these routes available as GPX file downloads??
Hi David. I did not plan a route for this one more a trip of exploration. I can pull something together this week and send across to you if that helps? Cheers. Billy
Have you not got the gsa now Billie.
Hi Eric. Yes still have the GSA but added the T7 to my garage 😀👍
