- A Film By Barry Godin - A Welsh Adventure - Day 2 Bikepacking up Cadair Idris
After spending the morning at the Coed Y Brenin, which in case you didn't see it find part 1 - • Riding the first ever ... , We back our bags with our camping kit and set off up Cadair Idris. As per usual we were behind schedule, so when you crested the col two thirds of the way up it was dark. So we decided to camp there, and then leave the camping stuff behind a rock and summit in the morning and ride the top section with lighter bags, and grab the kit for the rest of the descent.
We woke to the most spectacular morning and the weather was sublime, fluffy clouds drifting over the summit. We did meet at the top the most friendly sheep we have ever met, who rapidly became the most aggressive sheep we had ever met. Whilst Andy was trying to came a Chorizo bab, he started ramming him and finally grabbed half of Andys sandwich and run away, most entertaining
Tune in for Part 3 for when summit Snowdon
Thank you for the maps!
Haha, I do listen :-)
Yet again, another Barry banger. What an adventure. We were certainly lucky with the weather.
Yes buddy buddy!! What an adventure this was! Loved it
What a marvellous ride, beautiful scenery and great filming as usual! Enjoyed watching it!
Thank you so much
Wow Fabulous Barry, another great video brilliantly filmed too thanks for sharing, I’m looking forward to part 3 🙏😊
Thanks so much Tim! You are going to love Snowdon! Will be out on Sunday :-)
sorry for being late to watch this video. as always cool shots and amazing adventures with stunning views 😇
Haha, you are never late :-) Thanks so much, it was such an incredible trip
LoL that sheep.
Haha, he was soooo aggressive, actually rammed in Andy when we was trying to make a sandwich and managed to steal a good bit of chorizo off of him , hahaha
Great movie Barry and yet again well done with the drone footage. The clouds did add something extra as too normal drone shots. Looking forward to part 3.
Thanks so much Riaan! Yeah magical clouds :-) You will love part 3, be out tomorrow
Holy cow, this video is beautiful and wonderful
Thank you so much David! Wales did most of the work ;-)
@@barrygodin7538 I think some credit goes to sunny blue skies, something very rare in upstate NY in February
Walked up Cader a few times when I was a teenager cycle touring. Remember reading a book that said:
"Anyone who spends the night on the summit of Cader Idris, wakes up next morning, either a madman or a poet !" Well, enjoyed your poetry, with such nice views. There used to be a small wooden hut on the summit, probably been gone many years. Great videos. All best, MS ( Scotland Bikepacker)
Haha, I think we are a little mad already to want to camp up there :-) Yes there is still an emergency shelter at the top, no door, but more than enough if it all went horribly wrong :-)
Amazing video my friend as always!!! I’m looking forward for the part 3 . Well done, keep going 🙂🚴🏼♂️
Thanks so much buddy!!! Oh yes you will love part 3, coming out tomorrow, Snowdon here we come ;-)
Just playing catch up Barry - stunning film as always and I'm looking forward to Part 3 very soon!! Cheers buddy and keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Paul!!!! You will love Snowdon in part 3, came out today :-)
@@barrygodin7538 - yes I'd had a notification and will be watching very soon... the little snippets at the end of this one looked brilliant!!
Absolutely stunning place. Your filming is outstanding . Would love to ride down that mountain, fair play to you and your mate for getting to the summit.
Thanks so much! that is a huge compliment! Yeah was an amazing ride down, also a great length descent, for once equal reward to the effort of pushing up :-)
Awesome. I love the drone footage in the clouds. That is mystic. You went up the same way we did. And that descent…I loved all that loose shake up there. Riding that is a state of mind. Possibly my favourite film in you growing catalogue
Hey Robert! I am so glad you enjoyed it that much! Yes rather proud of some of those drone shots! Yeah that top section was incredible to ride, super big boulders to smash through, was more pick a line and hang on :-) But you wait until tomorrow, my Snowdon film will be out, you may have a new favorite :-)
Certainly struck lucky with the weather, I’ve been up there half dozen times over the last fifty (!!) years, never seen the view. Thanks for taking us along.
Haha, oh yes we were, and we knew it, so appreciate it even more! Particularly liked breaking it up with the camp, gave us time to sit and watch, so beautiful
I've ebiked up that..at 45 I just couldn't do it on a normal one....well I probably could but I just couldn't be bothered 😅
Good effort 👌
Oh wow! Must of been a much better way to get up there! Is a rather long drag!
Great to see some warm and sunny weather, a world away from outside the window right now. I think cloud and a crowd often feature at the top of Cadair Idris. Looking forward to part 3.
Haha, yes those glory sunny days :-) we really lucked out with the weather for September this trip! Yes the crowd was rather vast at the top, I think we had 2 seconds on the summit before the queue pushed us off
What stunning views guys - as Andy Shiach said it makes a welcome change from what's out side at the mo!! Inspiring me to add Wales to my list, I'm still a newby at this bikepacking malarky!! Many thanks for uploading and I look forward to watching more :-) Subed
Hey! Yes I am very aware, had a trip panned this weekend which I have sensibly postponed. Oh yes wales should defiantly be on your list. And if you are a newbie then do watch my BG tips series and hopefully that can give you some top tips in what to carry, I am brutally honest on what works ;-) thanks so much for joining the adventure
@@barrygodin7538 Will do Barry - i'm 2 years into this malarky and can't get enough!! Still refining my gear etc so will definitely check out your BG tips series, always learning :-) All the best :-)
Great little film BG, you guys were well lucky with the weather! looked amazing over there - drone footage was epic through the clouds at the top, coming down looked fun, good to see yer man Andy smiling all the way through :) cheers, great Sunday morning viewing - makes me want to grab the bike and get out into the hills right now!
Thanks so much! Yes we were so lucky to have that atmosphere, never got a drone shot of coming out of a cloud :-) Soo Epic
Thanks Barry for another inspirational film. I need to get planning some adventures! p.s. where are the chairs from?
Hey Neil, thanks so much! Yes now is the time of the year to get planning :-) My chairs are Helinox zero, cost a fortune, but as they are so light and small, I actually carry them, rather than just having them and not using them. But they are expensive
Where you been Barry? Hope you’re doing well.
