Suilven: Escape The City And Explore
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ย. 2019
- Adventurer Alastair Humphreys has form for taking Brompton bikes to remote places - we first came across him 8 years ago following his trip to Muckle Flugga in the Shetlands with a Brompton which inspired us with the possibilities the bike offered.
So when it came to testing out the new Explore Edition, we knew exactly who to pick up the phone to - did Alastair have any ideas for an adventure that could start in the city and show how you could get into the great outdoors with a Brompton for the weekend? Of course he did…
Bugging him since the first time he saw it, the summit of Suilven had been tempting him to the Scottish Highlands for a while. So with filmmaker Tem, they headed off and this film is the result.
Dear Alastair and Brompton I have returned to this video time and time again during lockdown, it’s honestly kept me sane thank you. I can’t wait to be able to cycle freely across counties and countries without having the worry!
This was absolutely beautiful, well done! Got to say though, even out there in such an isolated place, I couldn't just leave my Brompton behind without constantly worrying it'd be stolen.
Haha. Same thought to me. Beautiful landscape but worried to go home without Brompton. Lol
I laughed out loud, it's so true damn
I’ve watched this SO many times. Completely inspired me to Brompton wild camp and start a channel. Amazing, thank you 🙏🏻
Me too😂😂
We just need a Brompton that turns into an inflatable boat 😂
A masterpiece....and an inspiration...very well done!
Yes!! Please make more of these types of films! Love multimodal bicycle touring with the Bommies.
These videos are so well done. So beautiful , that they bring tears to my eyes . Thank-you .
Was anyone watching Brompton while you walked up mountain ?
I LOVE THIS VIDEO. I could do things like in this video. I USED to do things like in this video. I want to do them again. I am only 73, and the new heart valve is working fine... at the moment....
Stunningly well produced, guys. You really got to me. Thanks. (Wipes eyes).
Don't give up! Better to die with a gusto than linger on in pitiable misery, anxious at every move.
Take each part as it comes, as you can, then remember them all together.
Get out there, sir! You can still do something that excites you...
Lets do it. You can sir
Mee too, I want to around the world. Someday.
Wow. The quality of this video is amazing. So beautiful and interesting. Thank you.
Great, excellent! Took me away from the hospital during lunchtime.
So much to inspire here. We CAN still find adventure and peace. It is there for us if we dare to dream. It can also tread lightly with the right travel ethic. Beautiful story, told humbly!
Really really enjoyed that, great job from an epic trip.
Fantastic film... great work!!!
Great stuff. Exhausting and relaxing at the same time
I've seen images of Suilven before but your film has made me want to go there. It's amazing that you can fit a Brompton and an inflatable boat into your rucksack.
Sin duda el mejor video publicado por Brompton Bikes, realmente espectacular. Mis felicitaciones.
Amazing !!! Give us the inspiration for nature travelling !! Thank you
I love that poem.
What a fantastic video.
What a beautiful film. 👍
Captivating. That is the word I would use to describe this video. Like the last commentor, I am in my late 50's and used to love doing things like this. But alas, time catches up to all of us and now our dreams are realised by You Tube and memories......
Why? I’m in my sixties and recently did LeJog on my 3 speed Brompton, also Way of the Roses and other tours of the UK. You mustn’t let age get in the way!
Great color, great bike!👏🏻
Beautiful!!
What an amazing video. Loved watching it. X
Amazing video, fantastico adventure. This is very inspirational. Thanks for sharing!
Both of you are awesome 👏 👍🏻 👍🏻
Beautiful and inspiring! Thank you for creating it
I love this.
Beautiful video 👌
Touched my soul - deeply - to tears
Just bought a Brompton C Line. Loving it. Big fan of Al H too. #microadventure!
amazing, good video n good experiences. top class
Such a well put together film and superb cinematics throughout. Makes we want to make films, and ride a brompton!
Really wonderful film. So many of us aspire to do a trip just like this, unless we already have. Nice!
Beautiful. My kind of an adventure i wanna do one day!
Subscribed because of this video.... Stunning!!!
Great video! Inspiring, I enjoyed it, thank you.
Being a New Yorker, I was more worried about the bikes left behind, than with them climbing a hilly mount.
Haha
I was thinking the same lol
😂
beautiful video
Amazing and inspiring
this is beautuful, thanks you for this video!
Amazing video!!
The clip is so professional from the music, screen to your voice. It is really calm and intrigued clip to keep watching until the end.
We really appreciate that 🙌 So much top quality work goes into these videos, thanks for noticing!
Awesome.
Amazing !
Great video l love it, HK
Inspirational video
Very inspiring ❤️❤️❤️
what a beautiful and inspiring movie!
I've actually visited a Brompton dealer today, planning to purchase 2 bikes. The waiting list though is currently 1 year! 😳
Nice work.
Wonderful ❤️
Adventure pure!
Very cool indeed!
Mi avete fatto sognare. 🙏
really excellent
Love it. Broke back mountain on Bromptons.
This is always beautiful
Very cool trip
Genial !
Beautiful Video
An inspiring adventure on a Brompton and public transport.
So beautifully shot and executed trip. But the video feels like a commercial being too short. We need the feature length film. The planning. Arguing. Gear ideas. Etc. More!! 😬
After watching this ad, I tell myself I want one of this.
Love it
Looks like an amazing trip
Buddies, beautiful scenery and Bromptons! Yes, an amazing trip indeed. Thanks for watching!
masterpiece ..true explorer
Amazing
Nice promotion video of the boat. Great job !!
What is the make / name of the boat?
awesome videography!
I enjoyed this. A good idea, a micro-adventure, available on our doorstep, without jet travel. The most “dangerous” species to worry about up in the North West Highlands of Scotland are the midges - they can drive you mad.
Wow. Nice escape
Өте керемет видео 👍 екі жігіт жақсы достар екен 👍 өте тамаша 👍
beautiful video. and i would love to own the explorer one day
Such a beautiful little video. Subbed.
Tremendo!
impresionante
greetings from Spain
Nice life cool live...!!
Por eso tengo una Brompton, me encanta y a mucha gente le llama la atención
Outstanding work! I love how you avoided overtalking in this piece.
Beautiful video and history!!!
Amazing what inspiration a bike can trigger.
Wow!
I've been up the Marsco which is somewhat Suilven-like
Love the ideas this is putting into my head. Strip away all the "stuff" you don't need and travel light, really light. Wonderful. Thank you Brompton for the pictures in my head and the plans already forming ...
Pootling along I have decided on doing the same, started selling stuff I don’t need and want to ride my Brompton to more remote locations. This is inspiring.
Classy
Been on Suliven many times & cut out the long hike in by using my MTB.The rough track in would be no place for a Brompton so smart move with the rafts.Today i collect my first Brompton so the next time i do Suliven :)
Great
very nice video so beautifully shot. May I know what bag you use to carry ur cameras during cycling? I was afraid the minor vibrations will spoil the camera eventually
When I was a college student fifteen years ago, I took this train and slowly took it. Speed is inversely proportional to romance, sometimes we don’t need too fast high-speed rail
Really enjoyed your video thanks 🎸 what model brompton are you using please, and did you upgrade it?
Hi Which route did you take to use the packraft? Thanks Jc.
Who worked the drone & other cameras?
Should've carried the sage Bromptons up
and _ridden_ them down.
Are you ever going to make Explore Editions again? Love to have one
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤩🤩🤩🤩
Wish I was there;)
Currently listening to his audible book Biking around the 🌎
how tf did you manage to take such good scenes ?
also how much all this filming material weighs ?
where did you put the bikes during the climbing ?
extremely beautiful video, thx
I suppose they didn't climb at all, as the mountain wasn't too steep. And they had a film crew so they personally carried nothing aside from their own gear.
Which Train / Bus do you take (Inverness-Ullapool ? or ... and then ... to start the cycling/walking...) to do this beautiful trip ? It is incredible, I try to climb Suilven more than Thrirty years ago and I can't because an insect go in my ear and I come back to Lochinver to extract it from my ear... Your film is inspire me a lot. Thanks.
