This was at the end of the lockdown, since then the world and its cousin have come here on holiday, so Cornwall is now back to its usual summer bursting at the seams! I'm a Cornishman, born, bred and lived here all my life, which is nearly 70 years - normally from Easter on, it's impossible to find anywhere near the sea that's not absolutely crawling with holidaymakers - so these scenes were truly a once in a lifetime event and will probably never be witnessed again.
Haven't seen your channel before, it's so nice to see someone being genuinely happy on the Internet! Not to mention a great advert for me to set off for a long ride. Thanks dudio
I was so jealous watching this one. Just hop on a trail and go. I miss visiting the UK. Not many trains in Canada. More stories like this I can definitely watch. Thanks.
I just started riding more and its often by myself which I dont mind since I go where I want and at my pace. Seeing you doing solo bckpacking is really inspiring to try it out someday. Very glad I found your channel. Thanks for great videos!
Good for you, Juliet. You've reminded me of a camping trip I did on a fixie across Dorset, Devon and Cornwall, back in the early 60s. I was loaded up with a tent, etc. on the handlebars, a saddlebag, things strapped to the top of the saddlebag, and panniers. On the climb out of Polperro, passengers were sticking their heads out of car windows, shouting encouragement. From across the pond, I do miss the Cornish pasties and clotted cream.
@@JulietElliottsChannel At least you can get a Devonshire cream tea. :-)) A supermarket here sells clotted cream under the "Devonshire Cream" label, but I've heard that it's not like the real thing. Maybe it's like Guinness - tastes fantastic in Ireland, but not so good elsewhere.
Absolutely brilliant vlog Juliet, I’ve literally got my first bike packing tent yesterday and gathering all the bits I need for an epic adventure. Thanks for being such an inspiration 🤗👍🏻😀
Just watched the movie, “Fisherman’s Friends”. Took place in Cornwall. Lovely place, lovely lady, living the wonderful simple pleasures of the riding life. I can’t wait to get out of the USA to ride England. Look forward to more great rides and adventures.
I've just finished a 4 day bikepacking trip from South Wales to The Lake District. My first multi day ride and I loved it. It was hard going sometimes but it's an amazing feeling of freedom travelling with all you need on your bike. Cant wait for the next one now 🙂
Can only echo your thoughts on lugging gear around. I just completed a x2 day trip round Dorset border. Wild camped near golden cap. Used stove once, but hey it was great to get out and speak to cows again. Love the vlog. Well done.
I live in Cornwall, I’ve just bought a mountain bike ( my son’s influence on me!!) as I need to get more fit. I love the Camel trail, there are many trails to go on too which I’m looking forward to doing. Love your bike. You have encouraged me more to do this. ❤
Even if you don't end up using the tent, it's still the option that gives that sense of freedom. So much adventure one can have on a two day trip, highly underrated. Being bold & asking for a camping spot on peoples property can be surprisingly good fun.
Beautiful ride in my favorite country. I must say, I can't wait until we can visit from the States. Looking forward to some great scenery and fish and chips.
I just moved to North Devon and I CAN NOT get over how much great riding there is here! Definitely going to be arranging some trips when my new bike's built.
What a great video. It's looks lovely there. Cornwall tourist board will be pleased at your showing off their county. Also, really liked the music! Good vibe, thank you!
Nice scenic ride. Biking through the small town and seeing the town’s port area had a nice personal touch. Always impressed when you take one hand off the handlebars to do moving bikes selfie‘s. I believe at one point you were no hands. Many years ago I could take my hands off the handlebars and do fine. Now, if I did so I am confident I would immediately crash.
Getting a pushbike next week. I'm already a bushcrafter and hiker but I really want to try bikepacking your videos been awesome it looks amazing haha 😂
Really enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing. Cornwall is beautiful and you portrayed it as such. I remember spending 2 weeks there in June years ago and had to put the heating on almost every day, so I understand your dress code!
You have just been cycling where I live to where I grew up and where I ride my bike so much! 💕💕💕 it’s so lovely to see someone as amazing as you riding the same places, although probably a lot faster than I could 😂
Awesome, that beach after Veryan was where I had lunch on the first day of my first ever tour! And I remember being amazed by the colour of that sea too after dropping down the hill. Wows all the way :-D great video!
@@JulietElliottsChannel if you're into gravelbiking, and camping it is a must! The Danish have these lovely shelters dotted around the countryside (literally hundreds of them) usually with a designated campfire spot and BBQ gear. In my opinion it is the best country to go bike packing in Europe, especially with kids. Plus you get to go to Legoland!
Great video Juliet.Next time please wild camp the coast to coast from Plymouth to Ilfracombe on the NCN 27 as I am planning this and would like to see what the route looks like
Sitting here sweating like a hog, half-naked in Italy watching your video. A horrible sight (me, not the video). Flying to the UK in five days time to do some bike packing. You can't imagine how great it made me feel seeing you standing at the campsite with a puff jacket on. Bring on the cold.
I loved your adventure! Your scenery was beautiful! You have been so helpful in my new love of biking! Thank you! I’m going to plan a bike trip to San Francisco soon! All of your tips will serve to be quite useful.
Cornwall is highly underrated for travel. I remember my college days in and around Penzance. Porthcurno Beach is probably THE BEST in all of the UK :-)
Agreed. Many good nights in Penzance. I was there in the early 90s. Barn Club, Club Zero, Winter Garden. Burger's and chips at Wimpy when it's all done.
Just come back from bikepacking in the pyrenees. Started off with a fixed route and then blew all to the wind..just went where I fancied on that day..tbe best way. Would love to do cornwall when we can travel more freely...I live in Spain, so wasn't far from home, but Cornwall looks more relaxing as far as hills go!
I did a bike bivvy tour of Cornwall in June, before the end of lockdown 🙈🙉🙊..... and I loved it for the same reason, no bloody tourist ruining it 🤣 I slept in a hut next to the sea in minehead, I wasn't aware of the immediate climb over exmoor the next morning... good job or I'd have lost sleep. Got my biggest climb on strava that day 445 meters, full camping gear. Good memories Good vid👌 Go Scotland next... camp anywhere, and its beautiful
Ahh missing the uk watching this lot, we moved to the USA Massachusetts in December. From Gloucestershire but live in Cornwall for 8 years or so. We are thinking for moving back there or Devon one day. Enjoyed watching this just been out on my bike boiling hot here 35-36c. Nice one go steady
Brilliant love the make it up as you go attitude. Who needs over planning. Thanks for the inspiration. Just comp!eyed first bikepacking mini trip with my teen following same principle. Learned hard way always carry share inner tube. Had a sp!it at value....saved me from continuing and getting nail.ed by thunderstorms...silver lining
I could watch this episode over and over again. It makes me want to travel to Cornwall by bike, too. Thank you for providing such positive content. I am always in a good mood after watching one of your videos :)
Juliet, next I think you should head back to Wales. How about going from Swansea Bay, heading over to Llanelli onto the Millenium Coastal path and on to Pembrey. You could then come back that way and take in Gower and its beautiful beaches..
Hello Juliet, greeting from Argentina....beautyful places...Nice day and a half trip....I´ll do that too in spring or summer this year, to see what it feels. Keep on travelling and share the videos with us. Kiss.

Love the lack of planning. Some people freak out if they don't have a timetable or itinerary. Great little trip.

Great fun going where the wind lifts you. I love following the open road with the freedom of no restraints. This is a true adventure. ♡
Well said!
I was so jealous watching this one. Just hop on a trail and go. I miss visiting the UK. Not many trains in Canada. More stories like this I can definitely watch. Thanks.
wow not often you see a bike trip like this. Great to share the freedom.

A lovely video. I just adore the 'go where the mood takes me' carefree approach.

I should have had a cream tea, that was a real oversight!

Wow! That is gorgeous coastline and pretty villages, too!
What a fun video thanks for posting it enjoyed the scenery. Cheers for cycling there's nothing like it.
I love your you Spirit. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
this bickepacking series is so much mor fun to watch than all the fixi vids. Im back, watching you flicks! tnx!

that was so nice and relaxing. Thank YOU for taking us on your adventure!
Another fab video. Love your comments so inspirational
Thank you
I love starting bikepacking trips with the train. Makes it so much better especially when you don't have to drive. Cool video.
Hotel! Well played! Enjoying yourself is the best choice
Ah, Cornwall. The ancestral homeland. Beautiful scenery and another great video!
Beautiful ride in my favorite country. I must say, I can't wait until we can visit from the States. Looking forward to some great scenery and fish and chips.
Had to watch again. The color of the sea and the small harbors are so so awesome!
This looks like lovely countryside and terrain!
Very enjoyable and exhilerating trip with you in ol blighty, feel quite relaxed now. Thanks fellow traveler.
Such a cool trip/ride! Thanks for sharing!
Great as always thanks
Very enjoyable. Nice scenery. Thank you so much-you cheer things up a lot. Bright Moments!
Hi, I'm new to your channel, and I really enjoyed the vid. This is what cycling is all about, the adventure! Thanks!
Thanks so much!

Great video and looked like a nice little trip the music was good as well 🚵🏼♀️

Greetings from Atlanta USA. Loved the video. Gorgeous scenery. Nice gravel path. I may need to come visit Cornwall when this annoying virus goes away.

Brittany! and use the Voies Vertes(Green Lanes) you'll love them!!
What a gorgeous break!
Great video Juliet! You are a great ambassador for the SW of England. Maybe you should come up to Scotland when things get back to normal?
Thank you! I would love that, been hoping to for a long time
What a fun, impromptu trip
Simply wonderful 👌🏻
Getting a pushbike next week. I'm already a bushcrafter and hiker but I really want to try bikepacking your videos been awesome it looks amazing haha 😂
Enjoy!
Such a beatififul place!
Really enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing. Cornwall is beautiful and you portrayed it as such. I remember spending 2 weeks there in June years ago and had to put the heating on almost every day, so I understand your dress code!
I really enjoyed this video. The scenery and all of the beautiful colors! Thank you so much really made my evening.

"Eat, ride, beer, Freeeeedom!" great motto.
Good enough to put on a T-shirt!
@CouchToCafe me too!!! 😂
What an amazing landscape
Thanks for sharing. Love the seaside views and watching the adventures.
Awesome, that beach after Veryan was where I had lunch on the first day of my first ever tour! And I remember being amazed by the colour of that sea too after dropping down the hill. Wows all the way :-D great video!
Great vid once again👌 hope the thumb’s healing well 👊🚴♂️🏴
Very nice, my boys want to go bikepacking in England next year (just back from Denkmark). Cornwall looks like it's just the ticket!
Nice! I’d love to go bikepacking in Denmark

That looks like so much fun. I’m enjoying your videos. Very inspirational motivational.

Great little trip! 👍
Really enjoy your posts, only got into cycling last 6months, now become my new obssesion ❤️
Love the nomadic style of this video

Great video Juliet.Next time please wild camp the coast to coast from Plymouth to Ilfracombe on the NCN 27 as I am planning this and would like to see what the route looks like
Awesome, beautiful scenery. Grear Vlog 😀👍❤
Port Gaverne camp site is the one, no dual carriageway, just chickens and the local pub by the beach. Great stuff 🙂

Super cool mini trip, I'm going to do that..... thanks for sharing.
Wonderful, wonderful vid Juliet!
Had I known about gravel bikes and bike packing ten years ago, I would have never left the UK and went back to Poland... Awesome...
I think your brave ! I hope you had a safe journey and had a fab time!
I loved your adventure! Your scenery was beautiful! You have been so helpful in my new love of biking! Thank you! I’m going to plan a bike trip to San Francisco soon! All of your tips will serve to be quite useful.
Enjoy! I love San Francisco
Cornwall is highly underrated for travel. I remember my college days in and around Penzance. Porthcurno Beach is probably THE BEST in all of the UK :-)
Many a good nighout in the 90s in Penzance. Locals were a bit like you.or don't like you. Beaches are nice
Agreed. Many good nights in Penzance. I was there in the early 90s. Barn Club, Club Zero, Winter Garden. Burger's and chips at Wimpy when it's all done.
@@iup247 The club.up the top of the main street I used to go to, had two levels. Was a bike shop a lane back from the main street.
Well sadly they're all long gone. Yoof don't have anywhere to go out at night.
Just come back from bikepacking in the pyrenees. Started off with a fixed route and then blew all to the wind..just went where I fancied on that day..tbe best way. Would love to do cornwall when we can travel more freely...I live in Spain, so wasn't far from home, but Cornwall looks more relaxing as far as hills go!
Dartmoor to pricetown yes looked a nice ride I ride plym bridge to Yelverton fun route too enjoy your videos thanks juliet

Go Scotland next... camp anywhere, and its beautiful
Great videos! Thanks for including info about your gear and gadgets
What a nice route and places you visited. I wish we also had such routes here.
Loved the music on this one! Thanks
Stumbled across you and must say your style is refreshing... You got me keen on bike packing now
Thank you. Well that’s only a good thing, enjoy!
thanks for taking us along on your vacation!
I love your bike and spirit
Ahh missing the uk watching this lot, we moved to the USA Massachusetts in December. From Gloucestershire but live in Cornwall for 8 years or so. We are thinking for moving back there or Devon one day. Enjoyed watching this just been out on my bike boiling hot here 35-36c.

Nice call Alan...same in NJ. All those people would make me nervous too Juliet. So jealous of your holiday getaway. 😁

Learned hard way always carry share inner tube. Had a sp!it at value....saved me from continuing and getting nail.ed by thunderstorms...silver lining
Great watch...great attitude...makes me want to get a trip planned.... thanks for sharing, Juliet👌💯
We rode that Devoran to Portreath gravel route on Bromptons last year. A bit sketchy in places, but all rideable. And rode back again...
Loved it as always .
Thanx for the tour. Beautifull
That's it!!! I am swapping to Zipp's for gravel/adventure!!!!
I could watch this episode over and over again. It makes me want to travel to Cornwall by bike, too. Thank you for providing such positive content. I am always in a good mood after watching one of your videos :)
That’s super nice to hear, have a good weekend
That was brilliant, you should come to Australia 🇦🇺 and cycle around here!! Your welcome here anytime Mate. Love from Alan 😘🌏
I’d love to!
Juliet, next I think you should head back to Wales. How about going from Swansea Bay, heading over to Llanelli onto the Millenium Coastal path and on to Pembrey. You could then come back that way and take in Gower and its beautiful beaches..
Perfect! The freedom and joy of random adventure cycling. You do your ‘thing’ well.
Dreamy! Looks like a great little trip.
Beautiful part of the country
Hello Juliet, greeting from Argentina....beautyful places...Nice day and a half trip....I´ll do that too in spring or summer this year, to see what it feels. Keep on travelling and share the videos with us. Kiss.
How beautiful was that 😱 my kind of ride, just wing it 🤣👌 an amazing ambassador for England 🍻😁
Love your videos Juliet - can't get enough of them - keep them coming please and happy pedalling 🙏
Great little video, thank you Juliet!
