We love wales, we stopped in a small village pub where some where speaking welsh, is it common then or do people generally speak English all the time? I’m assuming your local there, do you know any other amazing places we should visit in wales on the motorbikes?
is the welsh language still alive there?
@@Freespeach123 We believe so, we heard a few people talking Welsh in cafes and pubs when we were there
Great Video, I hope you both enjoyed yourselves. A word of caution to others who will take the Devil's Staircase, it's located in the Cambrian mountain range which is to the west of the Brecon Beacons.
Thanks yes we love wales and will be back asap!
I forgot to ask you both, where is the link for your tee shirts
Hi thanks so much, you can buy t shirts from the shop here buymeacoffee.com/ontheroadcx
I really envy you on the devi stair case,I live not far from there, but I have never been up or down there.
My wife had a nasty fall and in a wheelchair at the moment, so I can't get my 1960 triumph thunderbird out for a ride.
I'm glad I got you two to watch every night. A big thank you to you both you make my day.
Hi David, best wishes to your wife and her recovery, get the thunderbird up there when you can. Ride safe bud
Thank you, will do
Looks like a great ride that. Some great camera angles and drone work too. I wouldn’t mind riding that route myself actually but struggling to find exactly where it is in the BB. I don’t suppose you could add some satnav route waypoints to your future ride vids could you? That would be super helpful. Cheers.
Thanks so much, you should find it easily enough on Google maps etc just search devils staircase wales
Why did you go out when it was sooooo wet??😮 no fun at all
lol we don’t let a bit of rain trap us at home, we live in the uk so it’s something you if learn to deal with or you miss out unfortunately
Hi your intercoms sound perfect! Which are you using ?
Great vid again 👍🏍️
We were using Sena in this video but we found they were not good in the rain and failed us so now we use Cardo
The cattle grid tip great, the other thing I've had to learn is how different the bike feel traveling downhill on those narrow roads, the weight effects the front end dramatically.
Yes, this matters even more when fully loaded up. The Devils staircase is a must see though when touring wales, also the Elan valley dams.
Gorgeous scenery!🏴.
Be in Wales soon🫶
Amazing place to ride!
Did this road, brilliant by the way, and was looking up for the jet fighters before realising they were below us. Tregaron start is the easiest if your a nervous rider.
You were lucky to be there to see the Jets, I’d love to go see that. Is there a way to plan for this, to know when they will be flying?
Great little video guys. It’s a plan of mine for 2024.
Thanks for joining us, we have a good few videos in wales on the channel of places to see and ride bud. Winter is great for watching TH-cam and putting together the upcoming tours!
Do you know the name of the road please
Live not far from here, did this on my Iron 883 love rising around this area.
Wales is amazing, one of our favourite places to ride
Wales is soo nice, and not to far to go either, Lovely ride
Yes we have visited a few times this year, so many good roads to ride and places to visit
Hi adding it to the list excellent just got be done .
We like to save places to a shared Google maps between me and ewa and when we find out about places we want to go to we save it on the map. That way when you want to ride there is always suggestions waiting for you
Nice to see some drone footage of the area. Cheers!
It’s a stunning place to film at 😀
Myself and my brother will be doing snowdonia and brecon beacons in july cant wait
You will love it there, we have lots of videos in wales of that area, make sure you stop at baffle Haus sand this is another must see area th-cam.com/video/Tv-jGaw9M9w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lsiDUPJz0VYeiz2_
Don’t forget to see the elan valley of course th-cam.com/video/ZYvNWohggNk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=53euCIwaYWfUYjU_
Just found this. Can show you a much better route. Come to wales again and both karen and i will show you what is here. Accommodation at ours should you need
Thanks, we really enjoy wales we have a few videos here and may take you up on that one day. We may well organise a social event of some kind in south wales to meet subscribers etc before the end of summer. Keep an eye on the FB group On the road adventure riders group
Sounds good and a way to move the channel on. If you ever want to tour morocco give us a shout
@@irideforlife Thanks bud
What are the road surfaces like always wanted to go but have mt09
You’ll be fine bud, just ride with care on the single track lanes. Go slow and see more is my advice, but most importantly…. GO!
It’s over described I’ve done it on many bikes. Not difficult at all
I do love it there absolutely beautiful, ironically a big percentage of development miles on the tiger 900 was on those roads , another good watch 😎🤘🙏
Wales is one of those places you can just keep going back too and still find roads I’ve not travelled before
The only phone box i know with out books in it😊
Great location though! Very random, we loved it
Hi guys, Me and the wife did the devil stair case two up last may for a long weekend and all over wales for the first time. It was bloody boiling the weather was brilliant and wales is stunning 🤩 👍. Definitely going back next year we loved it.
Awesome! Wales has so much to offer and some great biker stops too Have you been to Woodrow’s MC? th-cam.com/video/O1rfbqSh5oo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=v7txk7iMqynPQGo3
@@ontheroadadventure no never been looks a great little place. We called in at ponderosa cafe on the way to Wales 🏴. They are so many lovely place to ride on the bike in England 🏴. Wales, Scotland, Yorkshire dales and the Peak District where we live. We love Cornwall and Devon we have been there in the car many times on holiday. And it’s a place where we would love to spend some time on the bike 👍👍
Excellent roads around ponderosa cafe. We will keep filming Devon and Cornwall for you, you’ll have loads of ideas on where to go on your next trip here
This is added to next years route 👍🏻🏍😊
It’s very close to the Elan valley which is a absolute must see th-cam.com/video/ZYvNWohggNk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=p9vBRpDnZS25Qg4y
Great video loved it thank you guys 👌💯👍
Great place of the world wales, seriously underrated if you ask us!
was on auto pilot one day and came down there in a curtain sider lorry
Did you get all the way done devils staircase?! Impressive if you did!
@@ontheroadadventure yes
easier gowing down.
Always 👍
Awesome! We went to Scotland last July and we went to a place along the river Findhorn close to Daless, it was called the Valley of Raptors, a good place to spot the Golden Eagles, anyway it looked identical to where you travelled along the Devil's Staircase! I love your video's, beats watching the sh*t on TV 👍
Wow did you see any of the birds? 🦅 I’m going to add that place to our map of places to go…
@@ontheroadadventure No unfortunately we didn't see any Eagle's, apparently they stay high up on the cliff sides and only come down to hunt, we did see lots of other wildlife though, including Red Squirrel 🐿️ the first time I had seen them in the flesh!
@@Hinckley_Biker well now we have to go!
where is the best town to start from and what's the heading thanks
You could start from Llanwrtwd wells and do devils staircase and on towards Tregaron or the other way round. Put Devils staircase into google maps and you’ll see the road through the nature reserve
@@ontheroadadventure Many thanks
@@ontheroadadventure just about to leave Llandovery to ride the staircase thanks
@@andygreggs awesome, the top gear black mountain road is nearby too!
Did you find it?
Nice vid; another tip for the DS is that if you see any signs of show on the sides of the track regardless of the tarmac being clear the very top of the DS is likely to be iced over as its in the shade...that's a day I will remember for a long time and not for good reasons but just about made it without coming off but it was very very close😮Richard ( Bristol 500 cbx)
Thanks bud, Sounds like you learnt a lifelong lesson that day! But these things are what give us the stories to tell, Glad you came out shiny side up! We were in the alps a few days ago and we’re getting a bit worried there! You can follow us there soon on the current Home to Rome tour 👍 th-cam.com/play/PLAbzmvTdb3d2AMq92OcugOQF9x_EJ6C3J.html&si=9gJslQoz9WqNKKzD
“Signs of show”…..explain please
Sorry I’ve figured it out…..I’m a bit dim maybe!!
@@neilurquhart8622 you lost me on that one?
@@neilurquhart8622 SNOW
I thought this was going to be footage of the devil staircase in New Zealand haha. Good watch nonetheless.
Glad you enjoyed it regardless! Il now have to look up the New Zealand one!
There seems to be a Devil's Staircase almost everywhere. 😊
do you know of more then? Sounds like a challenge is emerging....
My favourite run. Last time I was up there I was on my Fireblade going up the hairpins - definitely more difficult than coming down. Some of the best scenery in Wales.
We think wales has so much good stuff to offer, we have a few videos there already but would like to do more. We haven’t done the coastal areas yet, is it worth doing the coast all the way around?
@@ontheroadadventure the coast is a great run, especially the stretch from Aberaeron to Aberystwyth, though some of the inland routes are as good if not better. The A44 from Llangurig to Aberystwyth is amazing, reminiscent to me of riding in Scotland. Then there's the Black Mountain road, the A4069, about 12 miles, it's the one Top Gear used to film on, another interesting run is the military road which is in the Brecon Beacons, runs over Mynydd Epynt, another is the Gospel pass in east Wales You'd need minimum of a week to get some of the best roads in.
@@roblane6368 The top gear road is 40mph average cameras now I’m afraid
@@ontheroadadventure it is, unfortunately our Welsh Government loathes motorists and tries to make their lives a misery, this includes motorcyclists. That road is still a great run, you never could do much more than 40 anyway unless you had nine lives.
Funny you say that! We said something similar when going over the road… il see if I can find the video for you
Done it a few times as its local to me , certainly an interesting ride on a 1200 bandit
Fantastic choice of bike - do you have the Faired version or naked? i once had the 1200 S in Silver. Great bikes
@@ontheroadadventure it was a naked version, did 90000 miles touring in Europe so sadly looked a bit tired but never let me down , I am past it now but had nearly 50 years biking so cant complain
@@davian68 We love to see bikes like this with huge miles on and scrapes and marks that each have a story! That’s what it’s all about!
👍
Thanks
I love that road from Abergwesyn, through the National Trust's Abergwesyn Common, on the side of the hill alongside Afon Irfon, then across the three Irish bridges to the bottom of Devil's Staircase. Have you ridden the road past Llyn Brianne to Llandovery?
I’m not sure, I’d have to look it up on the map, we could visit wales again and again we love it there
@@ontheroadadventureTurn right at the junction before the Devil's Staircase (12m 40s in the video) for Llyn Brianne.
@Rickman_CR yep the llyn brianne road is fantastic down to Llandovery 😊
We will be looking for this one very soon!
Nice video and sheep have a higher value 😂😂😂
Thanks bud, Glad you enjoyed it- we have added allot more now too
I thought that this was going to be a different Devil's Staircase to the one I did last year but it looks like the one we did although I'm sure that it's not in the Brecon Beacons.
Richard
I promise you this one is in the Brecon Beacons, there are a couple Devils staircase routes around though
@@ontheroadadventure But it looks just like the Devils Staircase which runs from Abergwesyn to Tregaron which is in the Cambrian range and is definitely not in the Brecon Beacons. I'm confused.
Who knows you could be right here!
@@richardsutton01 You're correct, it's part of the Cambrian mountains and it runs through the upper Tywi forest. Many good riding roads in the Brecon Beacons, notably the Black Mountain road from Brynamman to Llangadog.
@@roblane6368 I actually rode it again a few months ago, going the other way this time. We saw a lot of bikers this time so it's obviously pretty well known. 👍
Bannau Brycheiniog yw'r enw newydd ar y Brecon Beacons
Surely, Bannau Brycheiniog is the OLD name for the Brecon Beacons. 😊 As someone who was born in Merthyr Tudful, I don't care what people call them - Bannau Brycheiniog, Brecon Beacons, The Beacons - just don't call them "The Brecons"! 🤬
@@rickmancr Jordan Thorne, the man behind the newly rebranded Bannau Brycheiniog, previously known as the Brecon Beacons………
Did this change go ahead in the end?

I wonder if it will catch on?!
I can attest to the steepness. When riding for my former club - Pembrokeshire Velo, we cycled from Kilgetty on a round trip up the staircase. I've ridden up it twice ( opposite direction) and it's an absolute challenge for a large sprinter such as me.
FairPlay to you, you did this on a push bike?!
@@ontheroadadventure yes indeed, as a junior. The worst bit was up from the staircase proper, in amongst those pine trees where it just drags on and your legs burn.
I've since ridden up el teide.. 3 hrs ascent.
@@billyskoda6839 Good effort! I think il be sticking to my motorbike though!
@ontheroadadventure I miss mine, I had a 748R and i loved it.. the hundred of St. Briavels is not the place to own a motorcycle however so i stick to 4 wheels or pedal power.
@@billyskoda6839 This is in Gloucestershire? How come you can’t have a motorbike there?
