Patreon. The Husky project series finally got its proper run out. We rode a lap of Snodonia, camped in the cold and loved every single second. The trails we better than video can do justice to, the scenery was just as good and we didn't eat a proper meal in three days because every restaurant for miles was full. I wouldn't have changed a thing.
Thanks as always for allowing and facilitating videos like this. They are the work I always dreamed of.
I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now and just realised your dad is Si P. His Dakar series with Charlie B convinced me to buy my first bike. Love the channel even more now 🙌🏼
AWSOME video. It’s got to be the most coolest thing to have these types of experiences with your dad👍🏾
It's pretty damn cool 😊
Wow that's cool for me to see your dad. I remember watching as a youngster "the road to dakar" and he was on that show.
What an incredibly cool thing to be able to do with your dad! Bless you both always! Stay safe and have lots of fun! Loved the video man! Loved it.
Watching this makes you appreciate just how talented Si P is on a bike and to also see he's actually human and makes mistakes to. Awesome vid.
You are incredibly lucky to have a Dad who is so capable and enthusiastic on Dirt bikes.
Hope you really appreciated the time you both spend together, I am pretty certain that you do, take nothing for granted and live for today!👊
It's frickin awesome. I appreciate 100%. It's given a lot of joy in life 🙂
I have to disagree with you...I think that does deserve an Oscar! What a beautiful piece of film! Thank you!
Huge thank you for posting the location in the corner. I will enjoy the easy trails responsibly. I'm from London and hardly have any trails there.
So if you go on the Trans Euro Trail website you can find most of this route 🙂
i would to love see you guys take a 890 adventure r and a tenere 700 through those same trails, it will really interesting to see what gets better and what gets worse.
beautiful beautiful video though, thank you for taking us along for the ride.
I'd be up for doing that 😁😁
Truly AWESOME video Llel, the soundtrack was spot on, well done!! Also amazing to see you riding with dad and creating lifetime memories! 👍👍
All of the above.
The story, the scenery, the footage, music.
So good to see you and your dad getting some miles together. The trails look amazing. Diverse riding and fun.
The camping? Well, cold yes but I wonder if it was as windy as night 5 in Mongolia. 🙂
I'm sharing this clip with my two kids to show them the magic.
Thanks for brightening our days.
It wasn't that windy but I was camping with way worse kit 😅😅That was a shit night 😭
What an awesome Dad and Son adventure, some thing all parents and their offspring should do at some point if they get the chance as time flies and precious memories give us reasons to smile when are no longer connected with loved ones..
Brilliant. What an adventure and so nice to see some UK based content of this kind. Stunning views, great narration and video editing....I could go on. Thanks for sharing the experience.
Nice! People think they have travel abroad to enjoy themselves when it's all at our doorsteps! This made me want to pack and go. Brilliant.
Class! Cheers.
Sleeping bag; light, warm, cheap. Choose 2.
Great video. Always fun to rib the old man.
Paul
Right on! I was hopeful and it'd be rad if it was good enough. Maybe a silk liner would be a boost but I still think not. Was stoked on the pack size though 😂
Awesome story! Loving the location titles in the corner. Now to go ride the easy ones! 🙌🏻
Do it Dan!! That was a request from our Patreon members 😁
Beautiful video, great company and live commentary was just a joy to hear. Thanks for putting this one together 🤘
My pleasure. Had a great time every step of the way 🙂
I must concur - this is a beautiful video! You're doing an awesome job with the editing and storytelling, let alone the footage. I am a bit younger than your dad but would love to learn how to ride enduro trails like these :)
Go for it Florian! I can highly recommend it
“You don’t have to be defensive, we all make mistakes” 😂😂😂 You are a good son.
😍😍😍😍 The scenery is amazing. Great riding, great video.
Thanks!
Stunning! Great video, looking forward to more like that. Thanks Llel.
Thanks!
Looked like a great ride and with your dad too makes it that much better too. Nicely editted.
Thanks man! It was really fun!
Amazing stuff Llel. Really enjoyed the spectacular sights and your hilarious commentary
Cheers Josh! 🤣
dont tell everybody . a decent insulating airbed is a game changer for sleeping for me I use a ultralight exped no more comfortable than a £10 job but much much warmer about the size of a stella can and pretty light and dont have to go in the panniers. Wish I could get up bastard steps like that.
An amazing video, one off the best off road UK based videos I've seen.
Thanks Del!
That was the most awesome trail ride I have seen on TH-cam. I had a blast coming along with you!
The video editing here is really worth a comment. Well done, this is up there with Ryan F9.
Thanks so much Robert. That's high praise. They're motorcycle royalty in my eyes.
Fantastic vid! Really inspiring. Appreciate all the effort involved.
Thanks!
Absolutely stunning countryside,brilliant episode, thanks for sharing!
Incredible! Loved that vid, thanks. You’re bloody ace riders.
I wish I just had half the skill you guys have on these bikes. Fantastic view, great bikes, fantastic riders, what else can you ask for?
Fantastic video and very inspiring!!! Did think that the sleeping bag would be an issue - can personally recommend Alpkit - they do some great well priced down bags that will keep you warmer and pack up small too
Thanks Rob! We had a pretty sudden temperature drop at night that killed it. The nights had been around 15 the day before we left but dropped to around 5. Noted, I'll take a look!
Great Video, some great memories being made!!.
Thanks!
Really great video. Special time with pops.
One of your best vids. Great shots. Good fun👍
Thanks Jason!
Edit was spot on! Great film!!
Thanks man!
Awesome!Maybe your best Video Ever!!!I enjoyed it tremendously !
Wow this scenery! 😋
It was!
Riding overgrown and rarely used trails and hills with Simon are what excite me most in Portugal, sad not to have done it for a while.
Great video, and nice to see a bit of home 🏴
Amen. How ya doing man?
@@BrakeMagazine 👍🏻
Great work. More like this please.
I'd make more if people watched them 😭
What an amazing place, and thing to do with your Dad. I'm planning on buying a bike soon so i've been watching your mini tip Monday vids for homework.
Let us know what you're planning on getting!
@@BrakeMagazine my budget is super low so getting a Chinese built Kurz fs250, several hundred pound away from buying yet.
Brilliant video! Wales looks amazing!
I could watch videos like this all day.
Awesome! Not many people watch ours 😅
@@BrakeMagazine As a TV producer I can say comfortably that your content is some of the best shot and produced on TH-cam.
@@Helmettime High praise indeed. Thanks Shawn! What kind of TV do you produce?
@@BrakeMagazine I'm an executive producer and have produced all kinds non scripted TV from Cooking shows to Tattoo shows. More recently I have produced shows for the history channel here in the states. Pawn Stars. a Show called Forged in Fire
If you ever want to come ride and /or shoot some content surrounding the LA area hit me up. I can help with that.
Loved it
Long time since i have ridden in the UK
Now watching from a very sodden Qld Australia
Sorry to hear about that. Hope the flooding isn't too bad 🙏
That hill climb @12:14 onwards made me anxious listening to your throttle modulation , your line and distance to your dad! Lovely stuff
Thanks man! What made you anxious about my throttle modulation?😂 I really only ride that close for the GoPro and then make my lines up to work around it 😅
@@BrakeMagazine it was nothing technically wrong with your riding (nor would I begin tp critique it over a bloody video!), it was just the music, the scene, the engine rumble and my "c'mon on get up there - no foot-down" feeling that made myself anxious! Like I said, lovely stuff! ~ Peter
@@peterdclark Ah, I understand 🤣 honestly, it was my favourite trail of the whole three days of the reasons you describe!
Awesome video! That was magnificent
Great ridning and great video!
Thanks Kalle!
Epic on the big screen, Wales is beautiful. I know your pain of sleeping in all layers and a toque. 0C bags are for indoors. Performance dual sport makes the best content.
Your short films are absolutely outstanding. Really love your story telling. Top work - Thank you 🙏
Thanks man! Working hard on being better 😁 Our hobby deserves better stories!
@@BrakeMagazine no, thank you. You are giving WAY more than you realise. I hope that me and my 8 year old boy can have the bond and adventures that you have with your father.
You are inspirational for me 🙂♥️
@@BikingWithCraig Your words are too kind. 🙂
That was a bit of nice riding ! Glad you both enjoyed it!
Thanks Steve! We really did!
love the video, we're going in June, can't wait to share the experience :)
You're gonna love it!
Great film Llel. We're hoping to do a similar trip with some buddies in May
Loved it Llel! 😍 The trails, the riding, the scenery, you riding together with Si, the camping. Really enjoyed watching it 😀👍🏽
Miss you and we should do this once in Sweden (bring a proper sleeping bag though 😉)
Awesome trails that is didn’t even know they existed there thanks for sharing this 🙏🙏👍
No problemo! :D
Nice! So glad it worked out. Definitely the best trails in the UK. 🤘🏻
Mate, so damn good. Thanks for assistance!
The next time you and Simon need a drone pilot let me know buddy!!
Also the video was really inspiring!! Loved it!!
This is amazing, some of the best UK trails I've seen. Do you pretty please have a GPX file available? 🙏
That looks like a hell of a lot of fun.
It was!
Merino wool - YES! 😁 Use it year round here in Norway.
Same here 🤣
Awesome to ride here in Wales
I'd love to see more videos with this flyweight adventure bike, it looks awesome and that's a great luggage setup for these trails.
Now I'm looking at how to slim down my overkitted DRZ400E and 40L of luggage 🤔
This looks amazing but wouldn't know where to start . I'm from wales and this type of riding is right up my alley
Google the Trans Euro Trail. You'll love it.
Amazing Locations and Seriously great video production!
Thanks Michael 🙂
Thanks for finally putting this one out. Really beautiful video, and it’s quite special to see you and your dad sharing some really memorable experiences! I definitely think you have the wrong bike and a crf300l would have don’t everything but in more comfort and with less chance of a breakdown haha but I get that this series is about showing what a slightly modded race bike can do when it’s not on the enduro circuit.
Sorry it took so long! It was a hard one to edit I to something watchable 😭
I'm pretty stoked we get to do stuff like this together. It's rare 🙂
I reckon you're right. I love riding dirtbikes and they're ripper at a lot of stuff but I reckon you'd get a 300L through most of it fine. There are quite a few bits that are messier than they look and the ground clearance/suspension would make it a bit tougher but on the balance its probably a little better suited 🙂
I have a CRF250l and ride in North Wales, I’m not sure the CRFs are better? Yeah on the road and packing camping gear definitely but off road you really feel the difference between the CRF and a full on enduro bike. After riding the CRF for a while then trying out an enduro bike it feels like your somehow cheating! Maybe if your skilled enough you might be ok but the lack of suspension, ground clearance and power make it really hard work.
@@iangriffiths9930 I live around mid wales and ride most weekends anywhere from south of the Brecon Beacons up to Newtown in mid wales, and I must admit having owned two ktm exc’s previously and now a CRF 250L I find it way more suitable and I think it’s daft that so many people who just ride green lanes use enduro bikes when they have snappier throttles, ridiculous service intervals, and are generally less reliable as used enduro bikes will often have had much harder lives when they were new, than crf’s. When compared to the fact that CRFs are much cheaper both new and used, they are very beginner friendly having low power, they are a bit comfier and they have bells and whistles like abs and a fuel gauge which people dismiss, until they’ve had them and realise how handy all those small things are. The low seat height is a godsend on difficult terrain as you can easily flat foot and dab where most average enduro bike riders might drop the bike from not being able to get a foot down etc. Granted the CRF like any bike is not perfect and it’s low ground clearance is it’s main shortcoming. I have only ridden one lane where I met an obstacle which my ktm would have not even have noticed, but which stopped the CRF dead. Easily overcome by my fellow rider and I lifting the bike over the obstacle, and we were off riding again. I have to say that in my experience for south and mid wales lanes, which some people would regard as the perhaps some of the best and trickiest in the country, the CRF is almost the perfect bike. Plus you don’t need a trailer or van to ride 20 miles to a meet location as you can ride the CRF there. In a nutshell I used to spend my rides on the ktm’s never feeling comfortable because I spent the whole day wondering if/ when it would break down (and it often did). Whereas now I am way more relaxed and enjoy rides more because I know the good old Honda will not let me down and if i ride it somewhere beyond it’s limit, I can just turn around and go back.
Oh and I should probably say, my CRF is heavily modified (rear shock, fork springs, adventure spec parts, heated grips, etc etc) so in fairness what I say above would not apply to a factory stock CRF as they do need modifying to get them to that point.
I agree with all those comments 100% but the point I was trying to make was that it’s far easier to ride an enduro bike than the CRF off road. I’m not saying enduro bike is better or worse but for me when I’ve had the chance to try out a full on competition enduro bike it was so much easier! I wouldn’t swap my crf though 🙂
Argh, makes you just wanna get out there - and then he says it's cold - lol
The days were lovely and my sleeping bag sucked 🤣
Wonderful video again. Great work. Interested to know more about Si's choice with the Sherco.
For sure. We'll cover the whole thing in our upcoming pod episode!
We riding that in April or May from Rhondda valley and back or the tetty trail then going up to barmouth and back on some 20 year old yam tt600r's 😆😅 looks like it's going to be a sweat fest 😂😆
Some of it will but most of it will be lovely!
You want some proper coffee for that pot-you let me know!
Now that is adventure bike riding.I know you love a GS but there's know way you'd have that much fun on those trails on one of those fuggers things. And being cold is the choice of an idiot! Great film, thanks
It would've been different fun 🤣 I find a lot of enjoyment in the struggle 🤣
It was a poor choice. I took one for the team 😅
Amazing trails,enjoy them while you can,the fun police have really stepped up this time with the landscape consultation☹️
We'd better get on with answering that questionnaire then!
Class video ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!!
Love the videos… awesome
Thx for sharing
Thanks Mike 😁
Went away on a 5 day trip trail riding in north Wales last week!... fantastic riding sadly broke my shoulder on day 3 when my foot got court on some old fence wire and got ripped off the back of the bike going at a good speed 😭. I will be going back next year I hope 🤞🤞.
Great video.
Jesus man. That's so unlucky! Good luck with the recovery!
That looks like a tough TET. If it puts the legend Simon Pavey on his backside on a 450, what are we mere mortals to make of it? I'm having a go next year, on an FE350, with minimal skill, just enthusiasm. With mates of similar talent and enthusiasm. What could possibly go wrong?
I watched alot of your Videos, but this one I definitly enjoyed the most! Do you have any tips on how to setup your bike for panniers? I run a very simmilar setup (FE501, panniers like yours, around 10kg)
This is your best video so far! Could you please talk about how this bike compares, for this type of travel, to other bigger bikes in terms of carrying stuff, handling etc. on your next video?
Yeah, for sure. We're also going to do a pod about it on Patreon 🙂
LLel, crashed the drone again. Please, tell me you have NO plans to get an actual pilots license. 😂
Sheesh 🤣🤣 Defo not. Tbf, this crash was in tracking mode.😅😅
So good chap! Am suitably inspired to do something similar this year! Although perhaps not quite as gnarly ;-)
Cheers man! We need to get out together this summer! I reckon it'd be tricky on the big ones. 😅 Be worth the story and you could always camp where you get stuck 😭😅
Great video, enjoyed watching 👏🏻
Thanks Peter! Is that a 690 is Spy?
@@BrakeMagazine Yes it is, it's ticking all the boxes at the moment Llel, but I'm liking the look of the ultra light 350 vibe
Love this man :)
Thanks for the kind words 😁
So Good 👏
🙏🙏 Thanks for the kind words 🙂
GREAT music selection at 10:14
Thanks Michael! I like that track too 😁
What a great video. Love the scenery.
I wouldn't try it with a GS but I have done some rocky washout with a Versys 300. Bought a klx250 for this summer.
Thanks! How do you like the Versys? We haven't got the 250 in the UK. Massive shame.
@@BrakeMagazine No 250(300 now)? You're missing out.
I thought the Vv300 would be good for rough trails too but not enough ground clearance and too heavy. 400lbs with luggage. So going to prep the kawi for those rides. Check my channel to see.
Don't get me wrong. It's a blast in the twisties and on gravel roads with 2 extra teeth on the rear sprocket. My driveway ends on gravel road. K-miles of them here. Asphalt here is 55mph so 65 is a nice cruising speed for me...until the road twists, then it's Chubby Checker time.
Cheers
Wow I just found your channel today, love the tips and tricks but this video was great aswell! The idea of doing a trip to the UK with the bike came up when I watched your videos, and this one definitely moved the UK more to the top.
A question for you but also anyone else, just want some opinions for what tent to get (Just have a heavy 2P tent and a superlight tarp system, I don't really like it though)
What tents do you guys have or recommend? Also, freestanding or non-freestanding (but lighter/more compact)?
I would not use a tarp in the UK. It's often windy cold and exposed. I have tried and it sucks.
Any smallish, light two person tent will do. I generally think free-standing is better, but in the UK, the ground is soft and camping is easy to get your pegs in.
Dang. Just watching the rocky bits, my backs hurts, I feel bruised and need to take some IB. :P If I had been along you would have buried the body and kept going..... :D
🤣🤣🤣
Lovely stuff.
If you need a FPV drone pilot. Let me know. :)
Brilliant - woluld you be so kind to share the gpx file
It's just the Trans Euro Trailm
Somehow I’ve only just seen this. Cracking work Llel, you and the old man are pretty talented riders eh? I also appreciate the gate opening shot - that’s a must when in Wales.
Quick one dude, how do you record the audio when riding? What’s the setup? Ta 🤙🏻
Glad you enjoyed it! I dunno about that but we get around alright. Ain't no Graham Jarvis!
The gates ruin me man. Horrendous. For the GoPro audio I use a Drift microphone. I velcro/stuff it inside the helmet by the cheek pad. Use the little stupid GoPro audio box velcro'd to the outside of the helmet. Works decent enough.
@@BrakeMagazine Yeah man, solo would be a gate nightmare. Always ride with a mate! Haha, there's not enough sheds for two of Jarvis...
Thanks buddy, although I was hoping you'd say you had a better solution than that 'cause I also find that audio box a PITA. DM'd you on insta too buddy 👍🏻
Great! Thanks for this. I want to do it too. Can you share the route or even just a list of lanes? Looking forward to the final part for your recommendations
Most of it just the Trans Euro Trail from Aberystwyth North. 🙂
Great footage, really enjoyed this episode, can you tell me what you were using for your gps navigation/speedo?
It was a Trailtech Voyager Pro. Check out Episode One or the upcoming Episode 4 for more. I can't recommend it enough.
Is this all filmed with a GoPro? I mean, the editing is fantastic, and there's great drone footage. Beautiful.
Not all. In this video I used a DJI Mavic Air 2S, a GoPro and a Canon R6. 🙂
Always regret not having a bag rated at least 0 for any UK night, waking up at 3.30 totally freezing is just grim.
Yeah. As I said, I was hopefully but I was wrong...
Was there ever a part 3 ?
You should do a video about those additives you used. How long oil change intervald did you do on that trip?
Pretty normal interval still. Around 15-17 hours between the change. The additive won't really make it last longer I don't think.
This was absolutely fantastic. Are most of these on the Welsh TET, or is there a GPX available?
Mostly the Welsh TET 🙂
Brill video will you share the gpx file for the route ? Happy to donate ££
You can get 90% of it from the Trans Euro Trail Route heading north of Aberystwyth 😊
Brilliant vids. Can you share this 3 day route with me on a GPX file?
Want to try the and the wild camping on my Beta390rr
Download the Trans Euro Trail route for the UK. Start near Aberystwyth 😊
@@BrakeMagazine cheers.
I have the TeT downloaded and have got around south wales to Strada Florida. Looks like the next section is a winner then.
I just wasn’t sure if your vid had some additional bits you and your dad know of
@@bigjonakasilverback532 It has a couple. In and around Barmouth there are some trails marked council road. I don't have GPX of those sorry, but you can find them on the Council Maps. They're not on the OS Maps sorry. Some are in Coed y Brenin and some are around the forest on the north side of Barmouth. Hope that helps!
@@BrakeMagazine legend. Thank you.
Great vids and look forward to more
Great vlog👍👍I currently ride a 690 for TET riding and such like. Toying with the idea of swapping to a lighter option. 350/500.
Definitely more fun on the trails, less fatigue. Better for uk riding in my opinion?
Wales, Cornwall, Lake District and a few parts of Yorkshire yeah definitely. Everywhere else the 690 is probably a better compromise based on the amount of roadwork on the TET
-my opinion only as someone who owns an exc350 and wr250r. In the aforementioned places I'd take the exc, everywhere else I take the softer, comfier, better mannered WR
Mmm, depends a but I think. Better for some stuff, worse for others and depends on your ability. 😊
Cool - how do you find these trails ?
