  • This is the story of when Katie and I went on a bike touring adventure, following the West Kernow Way, around the Cornish peninsula. The West Kernow Way is a 230km route that takes in some of Cornwalls most beautiful gravel roads and bridleways as it loops around the Cornish coastline. Neither of us had a great deal of bike touring experience so it really was a chance to try something new and embrace life in the saddle.
    As always it is a pleasure too have you come along for the journey, I really hope you enjoy this one, a bit different from my usually style. Any comments or questions please just ask below, I love to hear from you. Have a great week folks!

    Great movie, breathtaking Nature. If nothing goes wrong I will visit Cornwall with my Camper and my gravelbike in July. Wish you all the best 👍

    That's a lot of cycling. I'm no cyclist and my ass hurts just watching this. Kudos to Katie for giving it a shot and adjusting the trip as necessary. Day 3 looked a bit rough for cycling though!. I really liked how you interspersed the conversation between you and Katie throughout the video - I thought that worked really well.

      Haha yer padded shorts are a life saver!Katie is a trooper, she always finds the positive and makes the most of things. I didn’t know if it would work with the conversation, so lovely to get some positive feedback, much appreciated. Hope this week treats you well Seth, think I’ve a few of your previous videos to catch up on still!

    Digging the flowers in your friends helmet Betty. After your friends injury this was a great ride. You did say about the weather and you got some - but you were both real troopers. Nice one - hats off. Ha ha, 'The Castle and Cat' would make an awesome pub. An impressive place it must be said. Well, we all have to part at some point. Well the weather persisted but a reprieve on the last day. Just popping in to wish you, your partners and al happy new year and a great 2024. All the best. Mark

      Hi Mark, lovely to hear from you. I hope you've had a good start to the New Year, what's been your favourite outing so far? Which video of yours should I watch first? The weather here has been hit and miss between storms so getting out when we can. Yer Katie was a real trooper, what we didn't know was that she was actually pregnant! She has now had the baby, but it explained why she was not feeling very well. Hope you've had a good weekend, all the best. Betty

      @@TheGirlGoneNomad Hey, Betty. Yeah, pretty good start. Well, I kind of started up in the Cambrian sin storms but that was super cool. My last outing was best - a great hike and super sunrise camping - in your own time old mate. Ah, wow a brand new little one. Good on her and the baby. 'Welcome to the planet. I hope it's a happy and healthy one for you.' That's what I say to new babies. My weekend? Swimming training - getting faster. Well, I hope you guys have had a good one. Peace out.

    Fantastic movie, very well done. Loved the gorgeous scenery (subscribed)😊. I noticed your a pedal rider rather than cleats (I prefer my gravel bike with pedals) Just wondered what your thoughts were re the pedal vs cleat debate?

      @TheGirlGoneNomad  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you Andy! Great to hear you enjoyed watching 😊 I am with you on Team Pedal, particularly on the gravel bike. I have dappled with cleats in the past, but fell off one to many times stationary, unable to get my foot free! I think I would be more inclined to try them again on my road bike, but otherwise I like foot freedom on when off road. What about yourself?
