- Bikepacking in Pembrokeshire - A Film By Barry Godin
This is a very different kid of trip for me, the pace slowed down and it was a week just indulging and appreciating the stunning coast line of Pembrokeshire in Wales. We wild camped all 8 nights in some of the best ever camp spots. The weather did help this trip with such stunning sunsets and warm days on the beach.
With the wild camping, we would pack down the tent very early and tidy up, but then just stay in that spot till midday or early afternoon, painting and relaxing, but most of all just looking and enjoying the incredible place and views.
This trip the bike was a vehicle to places rather than being the adventure its self, and made a beautiful change to my usual type 2 style journeys.
So sit back and relax and be transported to Pembrokeshire and please do let me know what you think :-)
I am in Pembrokeshire for two weeks. Beautiful
Oh wow, have a wonderful time!
English waters......that should be Welsh waters, good film, the art work was stunning, spent a lot of time diving around there in the past, usually out of Little Haven 👍👍👍
I know I know, sorry :-) thank you so much! Bet the diving is spectacular there, such clear waters!
@@barrygodin7538 👍👍👍
Great film Barry. Look like a nice area to visit in the future. Keep doing what you love and showing the world a different side of a country. Enjoying seeing new places everytime.
Thanks so much Riaan! It is such a beautiful area to explore
I love watching you trip films, again very nice and pls. keep sharing!!
Thankyou so much :-) plenty more adventures to come
Awesome video Barry. Share your love of the coastline.
Thank you so much David! Yeah I love being by the sea, especially camping by it :-)
I’m nearly ready myself for my first bikepacking adventure. You should be very proud of your channel and what you have achieved so far!
Lovely film of my home county ❤️ one thing tho ..not English waters
Thank you so much! Yes I know I know, only realised my mistake watching it back :-)
Awesome video Barry :-)
Thank you so much Matthew
Gorgeous film and a lovely trip. Pembrokeshire is a real gem so shhhhh, don't tell anyone 🤫
Haha, oh dear, making a film doesn't help haha. It really is so stunning there!
stunning film Barry, what amazing weather and locations -really well filmed, the seals were a bonus! nice chilled out trip before the journey back to London! cheers
Thanks so much! Yeah the seals were incredible, we over heard some people talking saying there were pups there so we had to go and see for ourselves, so glad we did, many hours passed just watching them
What a wonderful holiday diary. You can’t deny that when the weather is on your side there’s nowhere more diverse or beautiful than Britain. Thanks for sharing that Barry. And respect to Mrs G. It must be truly wonderful to do that trip with your missus
Hey Robert, yes that is the prefect way to describe it, and holiday diary. I was worried at the time how to film and what story to tell, but then we totally relaxed and the trip took a different path and hope that this film shows it. Don't worry many more bike riding films to come, but this trip used the bikes as a different way and I loved it. To do it with her is so wonderful to share those experiences and have the momories together. Amazingly she still want s to come touring with me and have two trips planned this summer together. Thanks you so much Robert :-)
Worry??? Not me mate. I’ve ridden most of the visitor centres and plenty of wild rides out on our wits and skills. I’ve nailed fort bill DH course and done a few trips to the alps…so, in short I’m no mug when it comes to Mtb’ing but videos of people riding those steep gnarly technical trails are 2 a penny on TH-cam and frankly a go pro video does no justice to a steep trails anyways. Your Pembroke vid is fit to be a Welsh biking holiday information film. All your films bring a little taste of the joy and fun to be had getting out on a bike. Loved the drone vids too but I have to be honest Barry…that Snowdon vid…you’ll be lucky to get a higher mark from me for any drone footage after that. I said it when you posted it. That is and probably will remain one of the best bits of drone footage I’ve ever seen. I still watch that bit regularly. Keep trying though. Just coz I said you might never better it you’ll have fun trying and I’ll still enjoy the films. That’s a win win situation right? 😀
Thankyou Barry. Loved it. Wanted to say a big Thankyou for all your help and inspiration. BG tips was so helpful and thanks for replying to my message about the Msr Hubba Hubba. We bought one! Now all kitted up and off for our first bikepacking trip next week - Cambridgeshire and Norfolk using Icknield and pedldars way and the coastal path. Should be nice and easy since we are used to riding in the Peak District 😃. Have a good week.
Hey Jane! Thank you so much, this trip was using our Hubba Hubba and isn't it great! I love the MSR tents and this one is plenty of space for two. I recon that is why she survived 8 nights wild camping in a row, haha. Your trip sounds great, did a similar route with my girlfriend a few years ago, is sooo beautiful and great riding, have an incredible time and let me know how you get on :-) Happy Pedalling
Barry-wonderful video-I think it may be your best to date-the music, the drone, and great you could share it with your special one❗️🍀Thank you.
Thank you so much Oliver! Yes I spend hours and hours trying to find music to work, and this one came together very nicely in the end!
Superb, lovely shots of the seals with their pups, and no anthropomorphic commentary!
Haha, I did have Mr Attenborough In my mind at the time :-)
Great video. Marloes Sands is the best beach in Wales. But as a Pembrokeshire boy I quite like the fact we're still under the radar!
Oh yeah! and to get the chance to see it with the tide totally in in the evening with the sun hitting the ocean, and then to wake up and see the tide recline and the huge beach unfold! Spectacular!
What a great trip. Pembrokeshire is such an amazing place. Another brilliant film too.
Yeah loved exploring it, so many beautiful hidden spots
great film, can't believe the constant good weather had - well done.
I know what you me re bikes on a train ... every train company is different which adds to the hassle.
paintings by your lady friend are rather nice too :)
Hey Chris! Yeah it not every trip, in fact, never have I had such good weather and skies! Spectacular sunsets every evening. Thanks so much for the compliments!
what a great film and fantastic weather! I'm on my first international bikepacking trip right now in Scotland and clearly I should have picked Pembrokeshire instead 😛
Oh Wow!!! How is the trip going???? Where are you??? What are you riding??? Hope you have not too midged
Brilliant film mate, looked an amazing trip👌🏻 Really enjoyed tagging along and looking forward to the next one😄 Cheers! Mark
Thanks so much Mark!
I bet you were popular that you got the train departure time wrong and it had already departed ...................
Haha, it was sooo bad and I was soooo cross with myself she took it easy with me haha
Hi Barry - just catching up as always!!! Loved the film - stunning and I WILL watch part 2 very soon! Cheers buddy and keep up the great work!!
Hey Paul!!! Thanks so much matey, yes this film came out nicely :-)
Great video diary Barry ! If you're over in west Wales again try starting your trip from Carmarthen and take in some of Carmarthenshires stunning land and seascapes.. peddle down to Dylan Thomas country .. Laugharne.. then around Pendine and Amroth and into Pembrokeshire. It really is stunning ! Thank you for your excellent vlogs.
Thank Martyn! That is a great tip! Will have to look at routes around there and in Carmarthen! Will start to research it :-)
Freezing "English" water???? Hope you enjoyed your last trip to Wales, there will be a price on your head now 😂😂😂
I know my mistake now, very very very sorry ;-)
I loved this one, such a relaxed vibe. What beautiful weather and photography. Thank you! Another spot I must visit. I want to do the exact trip!
Haha, I wish I could do exactly the same trip again! Was so good. Thanks you so much David
My part of the world and you just underlined how lucky I am. Your train problem does put me off using trains, bring back guard vans! Talented lady.
You are incredibly lucky to have that on your door stop! Oh yeah bikes were so easy before to travel with
Well Barry, that has to be the best film you've made. Just brilliant. Funnily enough we are heading to St Davids in July, get some riding in. Thanks Barry. Oh and love the art too. She is a clever girl
Thank you so much Graham! Very lovely words! Yes this one I am very happy with, the shots I think really worked, and took an absolute age to edit (hence the huge gap in films) You will love it over there! Go and camp on some cliff tops (message me for any tips)
@@barrygodin7538 haha, I will
Great video. Really chilled. (Except for the train trouble!) 🚴♀️😎
Haha, yes was a telling off for being soo chilled the whole week :-)
Excellent Vlog Barry, I really enjoyed it thanks for sharing mate 😊
Thank you so much Tim!
Thank you for sharing the video of your adventures Barry, wonderful!
Rich
Thank you so much Rich!
My 14 year old daughter, who rolls her eyes at cycling films, sat down and watched to the end….high praise indeed
Wow! Best Praise yet ;-) So glad she enjoyed it, one day she will be there
Thanks Barry, stunning photography as always. I must get out and ride it.
Thanks Neil! Yeah not a place to do hundreds of miles as so much to see in a small space, but a great place to take it easy and explore
Really enjoyed that. The wife and I loved every minute.
Wales is best see on foot or bike.
Thank you so much! Yes it was the perfect pace to bike and then explore more on foot
Your films always inspire me to get out bikepacking Barry. 👌
Thank you so much :-)
Fantastic as always Barry - nice to see someone taking it on the easier side as we also often do... I feel inspired to do less 😀
Yeah this was a super take it easy trip, and I am not used to them, but it relaxed into it fast enough haha.
Great vid @barry. Where I can find GPX's of your adventures?
Hey Radek, I sadly do not release my routes, as often alot of suffering and wrong turns are taken, do let me know if you want to know where a place is
Fantastic video. It’s a good reminder of just how nice Pembrokeshire is. Mini trip coming for me I think!
P.S. Did you forget your suncream? 😆
HAHA, yes I am like a lobster in this film :-)
@@barrygodin7538 But a HAPPY lobster! If you ever need a suncream-carrying riding partner, shout!
Guessing 2021 as the combine harvesters were out?
Yes it was, but how do you know? the season was late last year?
Atmosphere and great music,Pukka.
Thanks Stephen
You know when you're notified of a new Barry Godin film that its time to relax, unwind and forget about your own problems. This film was just stunning, exactly what i needed right now. Your artwork too! 😍 Blessed with this film today, thankyou Brother. Keep on adventuring...🙏
Haha, yes this one is a nice relaxing one :-) it was such a wonderful trip, a very different pace to my others
Wonderful, thanks Barry!
Thank you so much Alex!
wow looks amazing
Thanks so much!
Chapeau what a great film. What no rain !
Haha, I know!!! Not a single drop! Don't worry I paid for that the next trip in Scotland :-)
Barry is back with a banger
Thanks matey
Great stuff Barry.
Thank you so much Paul
Beautiful.....
Thank you so much matey, was a beautiful trip :-)
A spectacular and inspiring film! Great watercolor portraits, too. I like this kind of relaxing trip very much. Thank you.
Thankyou very much Marco! And thanks so liking the paintings, was a beautiful way to sit and enjoy looking at the landscape
Great to see you back with a new adventure! Your films are a delight and inspiration sir. Thank you.
See you have gone the 🪑 carrying route - likewise myself recently. Heaven eh?! For painting it must be a yet greater revelation (if that were possible?!).
Haha, yes the Chair has changed every thing, from ruffing it to luxury :-) It also meant you didn't have to rush off in the mornings. Pack the tent away and then just chill there, making breakfast having a paint :-)
Great to see a new video from you Barrie, and what a lovely little Ode to Pembrokeshire you've created. So glad to see our Welsh weather treating you kindly, you've certainly earned it after some of the shockers you've endured in past videos.
Haha, thanks so much Jon! Yes I did deserve a trip with good weather and was soooo happy it was the trip with her! Made such a difference, and then a few weeks later I went to Scotland and had 8 days of rain haha
God bless you Barry I could see you were kicking yourself, never mind the good memories are the ones that you laugh about as the years pass.😄
Haha, thank you so much Gerald :-) Yes it was one of those moments, but we solved it in the end, most things do, we loved that trip so much and had been soo smooth uptill that point :-) x
finally!!!! I missed your bikepacking adventures
Ahh, thanks so much! lots more to come, have a few videos edited to release now :-)
Thanks Barry, you’ve blessed us again as the Welsh weather and wildlife blessed you both. ❤️
Thank you so much Darren, yes we could not of asked for more, but best of all at the time I knew it and ravished it haha
Another beauty from Mr Godin!!! That seal pup 😍
Yeah we were so excited to see the seals, and the noises the pups were giving off. We watched them for a few hours that night and a further few hours the next day! That seal shot is from flying my drone down to them :-)
Very much like Cornwall without the crowds, stunning, and great to enjoy a shower pace and indulge other interests as well. TMI beg to do aBG tips drone special and that and unit editing just seems to get better. It of interest how do you rate the lady's pizza rack? Something I've toyed with in and off for years, but can't make up my mind.
Hey Andy! Thanks so much, it was such a wonderful trip. Rather proud of these drone shots and how this one came together, yes I should do a filming BG tips, will put it in the pipeline :-)
She loves the pizza rack and that huge bag which is flat is soo accessible and great storage. But on my tiny bit of trying it, the weight is far forward over the axle so makes steering hard, but sure you can get used to it.
Nothing like Cornwall..thank god ,no croweds and I hope this beautiful place stays off the radar
Yessss, another Barry bike trip. Spectacular video again.
More, more, more.
Thanks again
Haha, thank you so much! You will be happy to hear I have a small group of films edited ready to release, and working on more :-) Lots of adventures to come!
@@barrygodin7538 great news, looking forward to seeing them
Great video as always Barry. Looks like you got lucky with the weather. The rail network in this country for travelling with bikes seems a big mess. And I work in the rail industry.
Pembrokeshire always seems to dodge the worst of the Welsh weather. Fabulous place
Thanks so much! Yeah I think we did sooo well with the weather, made up for the other soggy trips, haha. Yeah bikes on trains is crazy hard, but still the best way to get about
