Video

What did you film with excellent footage

Could have made a great vid , lots of human interest but this is mostly a go pro on a back wheel ,shame I was looking forward to a informative video

How long is Koko Claims?

Hi great video can I ask where this is at all please

Theres incredible places to ride everywhere in wales, where i live at least

Fair play! I felt tired just watching .

Where was the gravel

Just confirmed with Adventure Cycling, Koko Claims Pass is part of the racers route on "Tour Divide". It is not mapped on the ACA Great Divide Route for us regular touring cyclists riding the Great Divide Route. Skip Koko Claims Pass and you're still on the original route.

Nice

From a fellow 2023 Escapader Jim, congrats! I had to stop at Stonegate on the morning of my 4th day from total exhaustion and lack of food intake. You made that look easy. I got cooked on the South Downs Way in that blasted headwind. My full frame bag was like a sail and made me nearly blow over! I'll be back in 2025 to attack it again. My own video diary of the failed attempt... czcams.com/video/EMwZlbLwrIs/video.html

I get riding with flashing rear lights on the road (i do ) but on the trail ? that would have me pissed off following al day ,just saying .

That motel looked cosy after all that wetness ….the timber motel 🥳👍🏻

Can i please ask the name of your waterproof trousers?

I don't miss that cold, soggy rain! But into a Divide ride, a little soggy rain must fall. :)

Very cool will follow

What month was this filmed, please?

Looking forward to your Day 4 video!

So good! I miss that brutal epic! Another great video, Jim!

Great video as always. Jim!!

Looks like an incredible, unforgettable experience. Thx for the video.

Kit breakdown ! What did you take 😀👍🏻

I like riding a bike. I just dont like sleeping outside 🙈 Congrats on the ride 👌

Glad you never killed yourself and made it to the end=)

Great video. Kevin and I have just watched he was blissfully unaware you were recording 😂

Ahhh, Koko...Did it when I was 67 years old, 2017. Compared to the old Flathead route through Sparwood, I much prefer doing neither! I do look forward to it again next year though: Being what we call in the bikepacking trade as a 'slow learner'. Good on ya for the video.

Was that a bear around 5:20 when you stopped ?!

That bear encounter would have made me 💩 😅 loved how the huge logging truck slowed down for you, and even tooted his horn!!

Holy moly indeed Jim 😮

A bad day on a bike is still better than a good day just about anywhere else

You did well negotiating that steep, loose slate section down to the footbridge on the last day, especially with it being wet (and being on gravel bikes!) Must admit that I had to walk down that section (and a few others!).

Looks like you missed the best trails down to Dovey Junction

What’s best for the trans Cambrian way…my Gravel bike or my full suspension mtb ?

Jolly nice trip squire ! People have said it’s hard to wild camp in Cornwall....but I’d say that was not the case...stealth stealth stealth...do you have a video of the kit you used? 🙂👍🏻

Great tour dude! Lot's of ups and downs :-) Many thanks for sharing...... are you just using your phone? It's a good picture, what are you using if you don't mind? Just getting into this bikepacking malarky too :-)

Hey Jim, cheers from Germany, amazing film. England looks pretty wild. I love cycling and filming myself, I was with my wife, our son and dog for 3 weeks in Denmark by bicycle. I uploaded a few videos about it on my channel. Maybe someone wants to check it out, I would be more then happy, it is even with english subtitles. Take care Volker

Thanks for the video Jim . What tyres were you using ? Thanks

I Enjoyed that Jim! Thanks for sharing :)

Great video, did the Trans Cambrian several years ago (pre CZcams 😩), was a brilliant trip, probably the most isolated I’ve ever felt cycling in the UK.

So beautiful, there is no place like the grand canyon and the best way to see it is by bike : )

Brilliant thanks

That is one epic trip, must have taken a lot of planning. 👍

The wessex way creature could be lurking in those woods

And winter camping makes summer camping SOOOO much better! Bivy on!

Love you Brits. Hope to ride with you guys in 2021.

Good job dude!

Good on you for taking your time over it - refreshing to watch someone do it without huge mileages and some rest days.

Your video reminds me just how much I hate coming across bears in B.C., amongst other dangerous wildlife. I would recommend you staying away from the colour red in your kit or clothing. A black bear usually has better things to do, but not a cougar. You don't want to confuse a cougar with something (you) that may appear to them as blood on a deer. It is one way to protect yourself from a stalking predator. Travel with a mate, bear spray, make lots of noise along the way and handle your food with care. Very nice video. Thank you.

Hi, i'm currently in training for this now. Do you know if the Tim Woodcock's MTB coast to coast route is the same as the Wainwrights coast to coast route? as the Wainwright one is the one I've planned to do and it's known for hiking. This is also the best video I've seen so far on mountain biking the route. Cheers.

Didn’t inspire like your other vids Jim
