I live in the New Forest and horses, ponies, cattle and pigs are free to roam the WHOLE of the New Forest not just a few villages so keep your wits about you on the roads. Also Burley is the classic tourist trap, as you found out 😉 And finally, come the Summer, particularly at weekends, the roads are rammed with grockles including loads of cycles. It's pretty but there are far quieter places to ride a bike ..... but I won't let on here 😂
@@ontheroadadventure I'm being a bit of a typical New Forest resident and, having lived in and and around the Forest all my life, sometimes forget how magical the place is, my apologies for being a whinger. Feel free to drop me e line when you're next this way as there a couple of independent camp sites near me and a lovely tea rooms ..... and of course plenty of wildlife ; )
We are all guilty of this, not appreciating just how beautiful our own door step is… We live in Devon and some of the local coast line is stunning yet we take it for granted
I lived off Army compo for 9 years and after a while you get used to the taste, especially the bacon grill😊. Eat it from the bag, easier and no washing up. Remember, these meals are designed to give an active soldier sufficient calories, not good taste 😂😂😂. Love the vids guys, ride safe....
You are like us, never plan ahead 🤣. Fair play to you camping this late in the year. Crying laughing at the yogurt tasting / Croc near miss 🤣🤣🤣. Your channel has everything from biking, travel, camping, food tasting 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you both 🙏🏻 another great video. Safe travels sending love, peace and good energy ❤️🙏🏻
Another good video when it gets too cold and you can't ride everywhere and camp, you could always do reviews on motorcycle gear from home. All of us need gear. Whether it's helmets, gloves, trousers or jackets. We all need it. Be nice to see some reviews on some of the ones you can get from sponsors maybe. I used to love army rations. Best thing to eat after a long yomp through the countryside on training exercises And then deployments where you got nowhere to eat. Definitely what I'm going to get for camping.
@@ontheroadadventure I'm the same, ride all year round. Just bought the honda rebel 1100. Should be fun in the winter. I found beans and sausages the best. Or the stew. Pudding wise, fruit salad. Your lucky your not eating what I had in the early 90s. Biscuits browns, bacon burgers, and dead fly biscuits. Oh yummy! 😂
Very entertaining as always! Yep, totally agree about tat and cashing in.....I remember seeing a poorly painted stick in a shop window in Totnes years ago being sold as a wand for about £20 - and the most lethargic person I have ever seen try to sell me energy crystals from an arm chair in Glastonbury, I did suggest that he wasn't really showcasing his wares! (Had he been offering his lumps of rock as 'chill rock' then it would have made more sense). I guess that we all need to try and make a living. Cheers.
New Forest is a great place to ride and I do so regularly…. Burley is, however, the place to avoid.. far too busy. Lovely run is down to Milford/New Milton and a stop in at Sammy Miller’s where not o my is the motorcycle museum but also a good cafe..
You guys...to me, you guys are true Motorcycling heroes; going out camping end of October 2024... No freakin' way I'd do that, so I will have to salute you! Carry on soldiers, I'm curious to know when you're Motorcycling Camping Season will end ;-)
Our wedding anniversary is end of October and when we were your age we were still camping. When we woke up in the morning there was snow on the ground. So noe problems camping this time of year. Yes the horses do come up to your tent or caravan in the New Forest. The witch could have been a white witch. If you were in the Army (as I was) in jungle or the plains of Driffield that food would be nectar. Love your channel you are both so inspiring. You make me feel as if i am young again.
Thanks,always connect the positive first and be prepared for a spark when connecting the 0 volt reference. May I suggest anyone look into diatoms in dark field microscopy,Klaus Kemp could introduce you better than I. Just in case any of the wonder has worn off looking out into a clear night and realising we're actually relatively massive. Happy days from sunny Devon.
@ontheroadadventure My random sounding post was supposed to be in the comments of the relevant channel. The Bingley wheeler. Oh well, I'm subscribed here but it's probably not of much interest.
Have been travelling to Burley for many years . My aunt lives in Bournemouth and I travel down from Manchester . Not a lot in Burley but nice little town and yes horses walk anywhere they want. Hope you visited Sammy Millers place between there and Christchurch 👍
You two eating food just cracks me up I eat my army ration packs cold bloody love them best thing for travelling on bike just got back from Spain and Portugal when nothing is open they are fantastic carry on
Used ration packs for over 40 yrs, always hold them with some gloves and easy from the pack, no washing up reqd- simples😂 think I've still got some in my shed dated 1986, used some from this year last year on a canoeing trip lovely😂
Nice one Ewa!!! I’m still laughing my head off, the look on your face said it all as you handed Rich that fruit pack to try 😂😂😂😂😂😂 love the New Forest 👍🏼 Thank you both for such entertaining content!!! Keep it up guys 🏍🏍
(10:53) we start our winter camping around November to March, at all the state parks here in the states. Most of the RV parks are already booked by people that stay the entire winters, (our Canadian friends) from up North. So, it's state parks or KOA campgrounds, for daily to weekly stays
What does a nights camping cost you in the States? Are people allowed to live in Vans all year there then? Here there are rules to stop you doing that on campsites
The rations are graded depending on the level of work to be carried out. Or it was back n my day. No idea how the British army rations are now but I always remembered swapping with the American army who had MRE's which were really nice to have.
I know burley very well.ive done delivery's to wiches and wickens. Also wild camped in the new forest..bit naughty but follow the leave no trace..if u wander round the back lanes where tourists don't go keep an eye out for broomstick in porch.
😂 love the trepidation about those ration packs. To be honest, I haven’t had one that was totally inedible but you do need to keep expectations low as they’re practical rather than haute cuisine. If it’s only the main meals you want, it’s often worth looking out for the deals in Go Outdoors where they do buy one get one half price, which can make them cheaper than buying online. They’re in a fancier packet but basically the same thing. Just don’t eat too many or you won’t 💩 for a week 😂😂
I'm a member of the camping and caravan club, I'll go and look into this legislation malarkey, sounds like a load of ol bllx to me.... or some New Forest thing. Last camping trip I did to North Wales in late Sept I parked on a camper van pitch and put my tent on the grass. The owners didn't mind and it worked well for me. Ewa's dinner looked....erm, interesting!
@@ontheroadadventure I've just done some searches on the CCC site and the majority of club sites in the South West are now closed, including the site at Verwood. The legislation you were told about may be more to do with wardens living on site, and could be more of a planning permission thing. I know that properties designated as holiday homes, can only be occupied for around nine months of the year, possibly that was the reason.
Hello from up the road, Burley isn’t as good as it used to be, so very commercial now, but the Queens head is a lovely pub. lol sage or rosemary will keep the mozzies away! Definitely get some mead! Sybil Leek is a hugely famous as being one of the first witches to come out in the open after the repeal of the 1735 witchcraft act in 1951. Gerald Gardener is another well know Wiccan author. Sadly, yes all the new forest campsites shut down end of Sept/Oct. There are a few great sites open all year, glad you got into Hurst View, they do loads of things throughout the year. Also Longthorns by the Tank Museum, open all year and fab! Have a great time 😊
Thanks, we sort of suspected some sites would close this time of year but didnt think it would be that problematic... But its these things that make the adventure!
You miss a touch not getting full menu we used to get dry biscuits soft cheese in a tube , condensed milk a tube of jam and a small bag of boiled sweats and our main coarses were dry you had to add boiling water yum yum .
I've just off the Santander to Plymouth ferry tonight... not big news on the face of it. But! ..a group of UK bikers were in one of the bars on board last night and sat right by us. I heard one of them say "they're on Africa Twins" ... and yep...they were talking about you two! All good too!
Try surviving on Army ration packs continuosly for 9 months, it makes you appreciate 'real' food. lol. We used to eat it straight from the bags to save water on washing up. What you can't see makes it taste better. Love the videos
If you want odd people, have a day out in Glastonbury town. My mate and I were chatting to a woman who was pushing a purple dragon around in a shopping trolley, she told us she was walking up the meat isle in whatever supermarket is there and Knight walked around the corner in front of her, fully dressed, sword and all!! Nobody bats an eyelid. Perfectly normal for Glastonbury 😊
A great fun video👍......you must watch a lovely comedy called 'Nuts in May ' a short film made for tv by Mike Liegh, I think you two will fall of your chairs when you see the similarities!
Love the New Forest we staying in lyndhurst earlier this year. your brave camping in October...!! Have fun...!!! As I'm New in to Adventure Bikes 🏍 if you guys ever visit Kent, I'd love to meet up with you guys to say hello and a chat and maybe a photo 📸 👍👍🏍🏍🏍 Keep up the Great vids 👍
Its odd really, I especially hated it at first but it has grown on us, Maybe because mostly it costs so much less than hotels and we can make our own food and have the bikes right next to us at night
Brockenhurst is a nice village and the Buttery is a good place to eat also has a BMW and Royal Enfield dealers and a ford to ride through on the way out of the Village Sammy Millers and Beaulieu Meseum and Village are also great
Another brilliant and enjoyable vlog. I see your back in your original tent. Do you prefer that one? I’m thinking of getting the lone rider tent for a few adventures next year travelling solo. What’s your recommendation? Richard
If alone I’d recommend the smaller adv tent unless your particularly desperate to have your bike inside and are willing to carry the huge bulky tent to do so
I hope you pitched near the toilets after that dinner. I stayed on that campsite just after the Covid lockdowns. They had a chip van come round on certain days but I guess not in October.
The tent might work on Everest, but the ride up may be a bit of a bugger🏍️💨💨💨💨🏔️⛺🙀...used to run campsites (not C&C) in the 2000s and rules for c&c were strict and irritating when it came to euro motorhomes (door on the wrong side). Toured Irish Rep. And found that most sites wouldnt accept 'bikers'... because we're trouble🤬
You're spot on. I can't imagine why anyone would swap winter camping this time of year fir a centrally heated, winter discounted Premier Inn with a bar, hot shower and cooked breakfast. Some people just baffle me. Carry on. Ride safe 👍
Thanks for another great video. I've stopped camping until next season. 😁. Rich, can I ask. I watched again your video you made on the Tracer 9GT plus and how much u liked it. What made you choose the Africa Twin over the Tracer?
Honestly.... I cant be trusted. The Triple in the Tracer Engine just loves to play, its happiest at high speeds. I find that now when riding at sensible speed more of a frustration as il want to ride much faster than i should be. I loved my Tracer when i Rode alone, but now i have Ewa and she keeps things sensible!
I know what u mean. I have a Tracer 9 gt plus. I absolutely love it. I always ride on my own. It is a brilliant bike. And it sure does want be ridden fast. 😅
Boil in the bag is called that for a reason 🤣🤣🤣🤣 . Needs to be high calories as soldiers do lots of hard work in the field on deployments...... It is also made to..... Bung you up a bit as urinating and defacating are not wanted whilst in battle conditions. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Did you do a comparison video for the 800mt against the African Twins?
Dont know if its still open but Darts Farm (exeter) used to have a camping shop with some serious gear...you could go and have a look....and try the fish and chips from the fish counter while you're there...... We can live vicariously...its less fattening🥓🥞🍔🥩🍟🍗🍻👍🏍️💨💨💨💨💨
Hi guys not to be cheeky but can you get enough payments through YT adverts and reviews to pay for travels I’m thinking of trying to finance travels down that route
I’m guessing everyone’s journey is different but we are about two years into our TH-cam journey and we are not even close to breaking even with costs. You need to do it because you love it not to try to make money
MRE's (Meals Ready [to] Eat), military rations and anything else you can keep for 10 years or more and still "eat".. Are all just so disgusting that even bacteria and fungi are like: 'No mate, I'm having none of that!" My parents took them on mountain hiking trips.. For me those were a reason to just not eat for 3 weeks, just when I got hungry, see and smell the "food" and that pretty much fixed my hunger for the rest of the day... At some point they switched to canned meals, that tasted exactly like the tin they came in... I think you're better off just cooking the meals like on the Europe trip.. Just go to a local supermarket and get some nice local stuff.. It's a bit more work, but I think it's definitely worth the trouble...
12:38 hey guys, that guy that walks behind you ye when your putting your tent up, isn't he the same guy in the public car park, bloody polterguiste ye.
Hi, Burley is only a few miles from where I lived when I was in the UK. Sibyl Leak was a well known character who's husband ran a very small 'junk shop' in Ringwood, my uncle knew them both very well and always said that she told and showed him a she'd found a book on magic and that was how thing started as she took to It like a duck to water. She would appear on the local TV news programmes from time to time back in the 1060's and before going to America she had a normal/common accent of the area. However on return to the UK she had put on airs and graces somewhat. Yes there was and no doubt still is a local coven of witches and most likely wannabes as well. However during WW2 when the Nazi's were contemplating invasion of the UK the local coven held a 'mass' at the Naked Man tree deep in the forest to stop it, it must have worked as the Germans never did invade, but unfortunately one of the members died afterwards. A human sacrifice? make of that what you will. It's amazing how the village seems to have changed in the 20 plus years since last visiting it. At least the New Forest looks the same, when I was young you could camp anywhere for free but would be pestered by the cows and horses plus pigs this time of year let out to eat the acorns.
@@ontheroadadventure Oops, looks like I hit the 0 and not the 9 for when Sybil was on the local TV, it should have been the 1960's. Put it down to old age and senility on my part, plus the keyboard on my latest laptop is smaller than the previous one and I'm always hitting the wrong button.
It’s a man job he says, and promptly makes it into 3 jobs 😂😂😂 Wiccans are a real thing in the UK, aligned to nature and the elements. Absolutely no difference from any of the other belief systems, apart from a whole lot less hate and exclusion 🧙🏻 Google how Yule, Samhain, Mabon and Ostara were all pinched by Christianity and turned into Christmas, Easter, Halloween and Harvest festivals… "An' ye harm none, do what ye will" Having said that a spell or two cast on Mr Angry Welshman might not go amiss 😉🧟♀️
Rich & Ewa. Not sure you managed to sell the gourmet ration packs to me! I presume you took the precaution of locating the tent close to the toilets?🤢 Suggest you stick to a cheddar sandwich and Scotch egg! Would be interested to hear your thoughts about how you now compare the AT to the Voge you recently reviewed now you’re back on the AT? Given the price of the latest AT in MCN it’s hard to reconcile paying such a premium when the Voge seems (on the face of it at least) to offer more spec for less? Can you see yourselves being tempted? Keep up the great videos.
We loved being back on our twins, we do love these bikes they are great for our needs but I do wish they were lighter in weight at times. The voge offers amazing value for money without a doubt. I don’t know, there’s so many amazing bikes on the market it’s almost impossible to choose just one!

I live in the New Forest and horses, ponies, cattle and pigs are free to roam the WHOLE of the New Forest not just a few villages so keep your wits about you on the roads.
Also Burley is the classic tourist trap, as you found out 😉
And finally, come the Summer, particularly at weekends, the roads are rammed with grockles including loads of cycles. It's pretty but there are far quieter places to ride a bike ..... but I won't let on here 😂
Perhaps we came at the right time then off season… still very beautiful and we enjoyed our ride here
@@ontheroadadventure I'm being a bit of a typical New Forest resident and, having lived in and and around the Forest all my life, sometimes forget how magical the place is, my apologies for being a whinger.

You two are so connected breath of fresh air xx
Thanks ☺️
U guys find the oddest places that are definitely worth a visit 😊👍🏍️
Thanks ☺️
I lived off Army compo for 9 years and after a while you get used to the taste, especially the bacon grill😊. Eat it from the bag, easier and no washing up. Remember, these meals are designed to give an active soldier sufficient calories, not good taste 😂😂😂. Love the vids guys, ride safe....
Yeah we failed to bring the long spoons with us this time so had to tip it out...
You are like us, never plan ahead 🤣. Fair play to you camping this late in the year. Crying laughing at the yogurt tasting / Croc near miss 🤣🤣🤣.
Your channel has everything from biking, travel, camping, food tasting 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you both 🙏🏻 another great video. Safe travels sending love, peace and good energy ❤️🙏🏻
Thanks so much guys! We try ration packs so you don’t have too 😂
Another good video when it gets too cold and you can't ride everywhere and camp, you could always do reviews on motorcycle gear from home. All of us need gear. Whether it's helmets, gloves, trousers or jackets. We all need it. Be nice to see some reviews on some of the ones you can get from sponsors maybe.
I used to love army rations. Best thing to eat after a long yomp through the countryside on training exercises And then deployments where you got nowhere to eat. Definitely what I'm going to get for camping.
The Rations seem to be a bit lucky dip, some are good, some are terrible. It has to be Ice on the floor before we stop riding...
@@ontheroadadventure I'm the same, ride all year round. Just bought the honda rebel 1100. Should be fun in the winter. I found beans and sausages the best. Or the stew. Pudding wise, fruit salad. Your lucky your not eating what I had in the early 90s. Biscuits browns, bacon burgers, and dead fly biscuits. Oh yummy! 😂
Very entertaining as always! Yep, totally agree about tat and cashing in.....I remember seeing a poorly painted stick in a shop window in Totnes years ago being sold as a wand for about £20 - and the most lethargic person I have ever seen try to sell me energy crystals from an arm chair in Glastonbury, I did suggest that he wasn't really showcasing his wares! (Had he been offering his lumps of rock as 'chill rock' then it would have made more sense). I guess that we all need to try and make a living. Cheers.
This made us laugh! We love to visit these weird places and have our minds entertained 😂
Great video. I just love you two. You make my night so much better and smile .thank you.
Our pleasure! Glad we can all have a chuckle together
New Forest is a great place to ride and I do so regularly…. Burley is, however, the place to avoid.. far too busy. Lovely run is down to Milford/New Milton and a stop in at Sammy Miller’s where not o my is the motorcycle museum but also a good cafe..
Yeah we are glad we have been now though

Love the new forest was camping their a couple of weeks ago ,I used to have army packs but a just get some food locally now they are ok in a emergency
Yeah we were just curious to try them really I think…
Good video ... a daily Probiotic should sort out the need for Rennies ... Cheers.

Have been travelling to Burley for many years . My aunt lives in Bournemouth and I travel down from Manchester . Not a lot in Burley but nice little town and yes horses walk anywhere they want. Hope you visited Sammy Millers place between there and Christchurch 👍
That was class Ewa " oh lovely " . Rich you wanna try living of that spoil in the bag for
any length of time .🤣
lol I don’t think I fancy that much
You two eating food just cracks me up I eat my army ration packs cold bloody love them best thing for travelling on bike just got back from Spain and Portugal when nothing is open they are fantastic carry on
Oh no... I cant imagine trying to eat that cold! do you buy the whole menu or you have learnt whats good and whats not?
Yeah buy the full 24 hour pack and eat everything apart from the spoon carry on
Just fantastic entertainment 🙏
Thank you ☺️
Used ration packs for over 40 yrs, always hold them with some gloves and easy from the pack, no washing up reqd- simples😂 think I've still got some in my shed dated 1986, used some from this year last year on a canoeing trip lovely😂
We must remember the long spoons!
Rich the camp sight are sensible lol 😜
This could well be the case!
Ewa loved your poker face, when Rich tried the fruit yogurt stuff, i thought it was quite funny. 😅

Its odd really, I especially hated it at first but it has grown on us, Maybe because mostly it costs so much less than hotels and we can make our own food and have the bikes right next to us at night
Chocolate pudding with chocolate sauce is ace, potato & leek soup also very good & I don't like soup much !
I havent found that pudding yet..
Get a couple of long reach titanium spoons and eat out of the bag. Go cold for extra rufty tufty biker mode
Yeah we forgot the spoons so we had to pour it out the bag
How come, Eva tastes all the food first??????? Eating time is always a laugh with you two.
Safety measure 🤷♂️😂
Rooky mistake, never pour it out of the bag! Eat it out of the pouch with your eyes closed.
LOL thats great advice! Sadly though we forgot the long spoons so we had to pour it out
Always cut a patch in a circular shape. If you use a square, the corners are much more likely to lift.'
That makes allot of sense, if it lifts il do that again in a circle. Cheers
Brockenhurst is a nice village and the Buttery is a good place to eat also has a BMW and Royal Enfield dealers and a ford to ride through on the way out of the Village
Sammy Millers and Beaulieu Meseum and Village are also great
Sammy Miller's is fantastic, it's just a shame the riding in the new forest is not that great
Theres allot to see around here. We just need better weather!
My favourite part of the UK. Ironically I was in Brockenhurst on Monday with my 15 year old daughter as she was on a 2 hour hack through the forest...
Even on a rubbish day in October the New forest provided such a nice ride
@@ontheroadadventure I can highly recommend Roundhill campsite in the summer (Brockenhurst).
We will defo come back in better weather
I’d have expected a mention of the 2025 Africa twin with a supercharger 😂😂😂😂
I wonder if they fix the oil leak from the stator wire at the front of the engine? Same fate for the AT bikes, NT1100 and rebel 1100…
Another brilliant and enjoyable vlog. I see your back in your original tent. Do you prefer that one? I’m thinking of getting the lone rider tent for a few adventures next year travelling solo. What’s your recommendation?
Richard
If alone I’d recommend the smaller adv tent unless your particularly desperate to have your bike inside and are willing to carry the huge bulky tent to do so
I hope you pitched near the toilets after that dinner. I stayed on that campsite just after the Covid lockdowns. They had a chip van come round on certain days but I guess not in October.
No we were not lucky enough for the chip van sadly...
military meals are really good and the puddings 😊, yours must be out of date 😅
The cakes were good but the meals were rough lol
The tent might work on Everest, but the ride up may be a bit of a bugger🏍️💨💨💨💨🏔️⛺🙀...used to run campsites (not C&C) in the 2000s and rules for c&c were strict and irritating when it came to euro motorhomes (door on the wrong side). Toured Irish Rep. And found that most sites wouldnt accept 'bikers'... because we're trouble🤬
Madness, it’s amazing the petty rules people come up with
You have to admire the forces personnel if they have to survive on those rations at times
They are tougher than us!
You're spot on.
I can't imagine why anyone would swap winter camping this time of year fir a centrally heated, winter discounted Premier Inn with a bar, hot shower and cooked breakfast.
Some people just baffle me.
Carry on.
Ride safe 👍
I am with you on camping.......to old for that
Its madness we know but what can we say... We love to go adventure!
It aint all bad.... Honest..
@@ontheroadadventure to each their own! You carry on. I'm just off to the bar for cheeky little cherry leffe.
Ride safe 👍
Very nice too! Enjoy sir
5 mins down the road from me its wired seeing you so close to us
We get about! Say hi when you see us out and about
@@ontheroadadventure are you going to Sammy milers?
Not this time
Yeh! First 😁👍
Beat me today!
Welcome! Glad your with us
Better luck next time
Rich & Ewa if your like me I’m august gone summer gone lol 😂
All year Bikers we are!
I'm a bird man i hef to parats they are walking around in the House i had also dutch army dry food it dont taste bad it's better than hospital food
We like birds, they are great pets when tame
Can’t beat rations lol I spent 19 years eating this things lol .
Rather you than me!
What happened to the lone rider tent guys ? Keep up the great vids👍
We still have it but its not as good as the MSR
Tat shops make me wonder who buys enough to keep um running.
Yeah right, especially when there’s 6 of them in a village!
Thanks for another great video. I've stopped camping until next season. 😁. Rich, can I ask. I watched again your video you made on the Tracer 9GT plus and how much u liked it. What made you choose the Africa Twin over the Tracer?
Honestly.... I cant be trusted. The Triple in the Tracer Engine just loves to play, its happiest at high speeds. I find that now when riding at sensible speed more of a frustration as il want to ride much faster than i should be. I loved my Tracer when i Rode alone, but now i have Ewa and she keeps things sensible!
I know what u mean. I have a Tracer 9 gt plus. I absolutely love it. I always ride on my own. It is a brilliant bike. And it sure does want be ridden fast. 😅
My belly is aching from laughing at you both 😅 but I bet your bellies will ache more after eating that shite 😂😂😂😂
😂 We shared a gaviscon and went to bed
@@ontheroadadventure 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What happened to the Lone Rider tent, the new Forrest is expensive for camping. Watch you food in the morning the horses nick your sarnies
We paid £28 to camp at this place. No horses though
@@ontheroadadventure 👍 did you prefer the MSR over the lone rider
Oh yes, no question
Note to self, always eat army rations straight out of the bag and don’t look at it. 😂
A fine plan!
Boil in the bag is called that for a reason 🤣🤣🤣🤣 .
Needs to be high calories as soldiers do lots of hard work in the field on deployments......
It is also made to..... Bung you up a bit as urinating and defacating are not wanted whilst in battle conditions. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did you do a comparison video for the 800mt against the African Twins?
No we haven’t had access to any CFMoto bikes as of yet sadly
You’re camping 😳
Oh yes! 😂
Dont know if its still open but Darts Farm (exeter) used to have a camping shop with some serious gear...you could go and have a look....and try the fish and chips from the fish counter while you're there...... We can live vicariously...its less fattening🥓🥞🍔🥩🍟🍗🍻👍🏍️💨💨💨💨💨
Yes we go to that camping place they will order in allot of good quality kit for you
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
You enjoyed that one then! 😁
Hi guys not to be cheeky but can you get enough payments through YT adverts and reviews to pay for travels I’m thinking of trying to finance travels down that route
I’m guessing everyone’s journey is different but we are about two years into our TH-cam journey and we are not even close to breaking even with costs. You need to do it because you love it not to try to make money
Thanks for info safe biking
MRE's (Meals Ready [to] Eat), military rations and anything else you can keep for 10 years or more and still "eat".. Are all just so disgusting that even bacteria and fungi are like: 'No mate, I'm having none of that!" My parents took them on mountain hiking trips.. For me those were a reason to just not eat for 3 weeks, just when I got hungry, see and smell the "food" and that pretty much fixed my hunger for the rest of the day... At some point they switched to canned meals, that tasted exactly like the tin they came in... I think you're better off just cooking the meals like on the Europe trip.. Just go to a local supermarket and get some nice local stuff.. It's a bit more work, but I think it's definitely worth the trouble...
We think you are right! They are ok to carry for when when you’re out of luck but you can’t survive on these
Why is it called the New Forest as not many trees!! Are they waiting for them to grow?? 🥴 p.s “next level village idiot”! Back to comedy 🤣👍👍👍
Maybe they growing a new forest next year 🤷♂️
Because it used to be Henry viii personal hunting land , unfortunately since then people ruined it
@@kathcoats6048 Oh that’s interesting, what a playground it must have been for the Tudors
That food looked horrid 😮
Your not wrong!
12:38 hey guys, that guy that walks behind you ye when your putting your tent up, isn't he the same guy in the public car park, bloody polterguiste ye.
No idea, i need to go back and check now!
bikers park together safety in numbers 👍
i think you stitched ewa up rich on the army rations 😂🤮
LOL She picked her own poison this time...
@@ontheroadadventure 👍🤣
Hi, Burley is only a few miles from where I lived when I was in the UK. Sibyl Leak was a well known character who's husband ran a very small 'junk shop' in Ringwood, my uncle knew them both very well and always said that she told and showed him a she'd found a book on magic and that was how thing started as she took to It like a duck to water.
She would appear on the local TV news programmes from time to time back in the 1060's and before going to America she had a normal/common accent of the area. However on return to the UK she had put on airs and graces somewhat.
Yes there was and no doubt still is a local coven of witches and most likely wannabes as well.
However during WW2 when the Nazi's were contemplating invasion of the UK the local coven held a 'mass' at the Naked Man tree deep in the forest to stop it, it must have worked as the Germans never did invade, but unfortunately one of the members died afterwards.
A human sacrifice? make of that what you will.
It's amazing how the village seems to have changed in the 20 plus years since last visiting it.
At least the New Forest looks the same, when I was young you could camp anywhere for free but would be pestered by the cows and horses plus pigs this time of year let out to eat the acorns.
A very interesting place
@@ontheroadadventure Oops, looks like I hit the 0 and not the 9 for when Sybil was on the local TV, it should have been the 1960's. Put it down to old age and senility on my part, plus the keyboard on my latest laptop is smaller than the previous one and I'm always hitting the wrong button.
No worries happens to us all!
It’s a man job he says, and promptly makes it into 3 jobs 😂😂😂
Wiccans are a real thing in the UK, aligned to nature and the elements. Absolutely no difference from any of the other belief systems, apart from a whole lot less hate and exclusion 🧙🏻 Google how Yule, Samhain, Mabon and Ostara were all pinched by Christianity and turned into Christmas, Easter, Halloween and Harvest festivals…
"An' ye harm none, do what ye will"
Having said that a spell or two cast on Mr Angry Welshman might not go amiss 😉🧟♀️
lol That’s standard man work, make more problems, fix some of the problems, call that an overall result and move on 😂😂😂
@@ontheroadadventureso very true 😂😂😂
Rich & Ewa. Not sure you managed to sell the gourmet ration packs to me! I presume you took the precaution of locating the tent close to the toilets?🤢 Suggest you stick to a cheddar sandwich and Scotch egg!
Would be interested to hear your thoughts about how you now compare the AT to the Voge you recently reviewed now you’re back on the AT? Given the price of the latest AT in MCN it’s hard to reconcile paying such a premium when the Voge seems (on the face of it at least) to offer more spec for less? Can you see yourselves being tempted?
Keep up the great videos.
We loved being back on our twins, we do love these bikes they are great for our needs but I do wish they were lighter in weight at times. The voge offers amazing value for money without a doubt. I don’t know, there’s so many amazing bikes on the market it’s almost impossible to choose just one!
