- You can keep your tourist hot spots - We can't get over just how good this trip and Anglesey is.
Hello and welcome to the Great British Biking Adventures Coast Series. In this series we are travelling around the coast on our motorcycle, a Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer.
A lot of our viewers are bike enthusiasts but this series will appeal to a wider audience. Why? Because there’s so much more to the Coast series than motorcycles. There’s the challenges, the journey, geography, history and people. You get to travel the entire coast of England and Wales with us, see how we did it, share our ups and downs, experience English culture, the history and hear about the people that made Britain ‘Great’!
What’s also good about the coast series is it doesn’t matter when you start watching, it’s like one of those open top bus tours - you can get on at any point and just keep going until you arrive back where you started.
Who are we? We’re a husband & wife living in an unremarkable coastal town in England. We’ve been married 35 years and were brought together by motorcycles. One day, Esther’s Honda Melody broke down and she brought it to Jarrod’s motorcycle shop - the rest (as they say) is history.
One cold February day, we started riding along the seafront and just kept going. We wanted to record the experience to have something to watch in the future - the TH-cam channel was an afterthought. Take a look at those first few episodes to see just how novice we were, cobbling together what little phone footage we had to try to make a story. To make up for our amateur recording and shyness we added information in the editing. This set the tone and style of our videos, we hope you like it. We like to think we’ve improved and hopefully you’ll agree, take a look, compare our earlier videos with the later ones and let us know in the comments.
There’s also the filming and production journey. When we started we knew nothing about filming, video and audio production, editing, TH-cam and the like. We’ve learnt loads and spent loads in time and money along the way but it’s been almost as enjoyable as the journey itself. You’ll hopefully appreciate how far we’ve come.
But what’s with all those bible verses we hear you say. We know some of you don’t appreciate this aspect, one or two have told us in the comments! That’s fine - it really is. All are equally welcome here, believers and unbelievers. It would be a pity if you enjoyed everything else but just stopped watching because of the Christian references but we completely accept you’re free to do as you please.
Our faith has prompted us to include a bible verse in our videos and sometimes a Christian perspective on the things we talk about. The channel is not about Christianity but our faith cannot be separated from it. We hope and pray that it will make you think, inquire and even bring you into a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
I still haven't the words to describe how good these videos are!!!! What did the Romans ever do for us🤣? You two deserve some sort of medal,each week i'm blown away by the history and coastline. Enjoy your weekend and many thanks for sharing. See you next Friday.
Thanks John, as always really appreciated. We're learning all the time and hopefully, albeit slowly getting better. I've just discovered what a 'pinned' comment is?! I hope you don't mind but I'm going to 'pin' your comment now!!
I don’t mind at all and your welcome.
Love the Anglesey episodes! I lived here all my life and you've put a lot of interesting points up that I didn't know. Please please please tho look into the pronunciation of the place names..... ouch!
😀Hi Steve, thanks for commenting and thrilled you're enjoying our Anglesey parts of the coast trip. As for the place names 🙄 we looked up the pronunciations and tried our best to say them. I think some of the pronunciations we discovered may have been at fault but I suspect most of the 'butchering' is down to us. Sorry about that. Unfortunately, the Welsh tongue doesn't work well in the English mouth! You'll have to see how well we do with Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch next week!!!! Be sure to let us know.
PS - Any place names in particular we got wrong?
Wonderful videos and I'm quite enjoying the Scripture quotes. Thank you both.
Thank you Paul, always good to hear from viewers. "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” - Matthew 4:4.
Blows my mind it takes 100 years to decom a Power Station. Just checked the half life of Uranium and it's 700 million years, so quite a bit more than 100 years 🤯 You should stop distracting me with your brilliant videos, my Honda heated grips have just arrived for the X-ADV so I should be out fitting them 🔧😉 "Prison & war lover" 🤣😇 Yikes, those Druid Women were real scary 💀 You may not have been in Spain but it certainly looked like Spain, the weather & roads are amazing there.😎 Shame you missed the light house, I love a good Windmill & light house. Thanks GBBA 👍
I used to work at a motorcycle shop near an old power station that the national grid still used. I wondered what went on there. And then one day got chatting to an old boy who brought his C90 to us for servicing. He'd worked there all his life shoveling coal into the furnace until it stopped but then told us about how they stored uranium rods that he had to handle. Thing was, despite a very hard working life in possibly the most hazardous and toxic environment we were always struck at how healthy and fit this guy looked in his 70's!!!
You mean to say you haven't seen the old video of our Spanish travels? Check it out before you get stuck into those heated grips - th-cam.com/video/-v3OGFMpWkk/w-d-xo.html
Another great and interesting video, Anglesey certainly has more to offer than I imagined.
We just went straight to Holyhead to get the ferry to Dublin.
And it's just along the same road for you!
