Добрый день! Где выпускают такие палатки?
China, but in the same factory as MSR & Big Agnes tents are made.
I’ve had two for 4 years the motor should say 250W de restricted they do 24km but the cable brakes may not stop you.Its a heavy bike at arms length 30kg. The rear suspension has some adjustment.There should be a 5mm bolt hole just below the shocker for a mud guard you need fat tyre guards. The derailleur is level entry shimano the arm bends easy if it goes inside the rim it was rub a grove in it. I upgraded to Altus.After four years the batteries are still good. The battery stops assisting after 24 klm the motor is not regen there’s little difference between 1 2 3 settings. They’re fun and I doubt you could get much more for your money. Although I paid £700 each
By the way, Dan Durston is from British Columbia, Canada😉

Hi Thanks for a great and informative video of the Coleman Chimney Rock3. I have planned to buy this tent and take it with me on a motorcycle holiday around Europe. What I'm interested in is how big is the bag with the tent when it's packed? The size of the pack is important when traveling by motorcycle. The dimensions listed on the Coleman website are one thing, the reality is another. I have tried in every way to find a picture on the internet of this tent when it is packed in its bag. Unfortunately I can't find a picture. You do not have the opportunity to post a picture of the bag with the tent, if you have the opportunity to include something else in the picture that allows you to reference the size with the bag. Really appreciate if this would be possible. My Best!
Hi, I've measured the pack myself and I make it 26" long x 12" across x 10" high. I have taken a photo of it with a size 10 motorcycle boot on it but CZcams won't let me attach photos. If there's any other way I can send the photo to you (email?) let me know. It is quite a hefty tent but I'm sure you're ok with the weight. Hope it helps
@@oldmanwalkinguk6969 I cannot leave a message with an e-mail address in the comment field. Do you have any suggestions for a solution so you can send me the picture?
I can't leave my email here so what to do?
@@peterandersson8000sorry,I'm not that technically savvy. The only thing I can suggest is something I did on another site. I spelt out my email address one letter at a time leaving a space in-between each letter and don't use the symbol,just put 'at', with spaces still in-between the letters and see if that works. If it doesn't, I'm at a loss I'm afraid lettesr
dont think im fit enough ha
The hike we did at Edale was harder!
i was been funny pal(joke
great job ally
Thanks
Stunning loved this walk, thanks for sharing that one,
Glad you enjoyed it
That was great and a stunning route. Was up there last year. Thought the video was really well put together also 👌
Thanks a lot!
Brought back many a memory of happy times spent out there on our running club's annual Turkey Trot ... the happiest bit invariably in the pub at the end of the run obvs! Also of field trips to Eyam with young uns, exploring the history you outlined but without the context of recent times of course, given that was in the 80s and 90s. The ring in the rock? Your earlier footage perhaps provides a clue - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bull_Ring_2023.jpg Time seems to pass at a more respectful pace out there don't you think?
For anybody interested in buying one I bought the solid 1P (of durston website) and bought the groundsheet and extra guy rop and it come to £300, then once it landed in the UK I payed £90 in custom/handling charges so £390 all together.
Beautiful nature places and hiking. Video Like 👍
Valley and Peak sell them, although they are all sold out, and they add around £100 to the price 😮
It costs about £140 to import them yourself ...
Great video. Very interesting story of Eyam. I researched that some years ago as stayed around that area last year. Nice mixture of filming - no idea what those hoops are 🤷🏻♂️
Shouldn't a footprint be the same size as your base? otherwise water will seep underneath!
my understanding is the footprint is to protect it from rocks when not on soft ground. I don't bother with my footprint when in the UK hills. i use it when in Europe in the summer..
How long did it take to arrive?
Just over a week
@@oldmanwalkinguk6969thanks
No
yes
@cuprajake1 Well that's just like, you know, your opinion man
@@rbreiff73 I just replied to your no with a yes lol. Messing about.
@@cuprajake1 It's a Big Lebowski quote lol
got the same footprint. Excellent fit.
i will have some available next month the 1 person ones £315
where?
@@spare9434 my friend was bringing some over from America but they never arrived in time so it’s likely I won’t get them now till September I’ll have five to sell at that time
@@st1ffee well I'd rather find something my early September at the latest
Thank you 😊
Can you sit on a camping chair in the porch?
Yes you can. Could probably fit 2/3 people in the porch sat on camping chairs
one year no police attention, thieves you should watch out.
first thing I did other than bin the limiter was change the brakes to some cheap cable hydraulic versions, and then replaced the rear shocker with one I got from Amazon same as the brakes now looking to get some mud flaps for the guards as they don't keep the water off you otherwise a great fun bike.
Where did you purchase it from?
Its a great awesome bike mate i got fiido m1 pro as well 😊 done 420 milles
I've changed mine to a hydraulic brakes. You can get them at their site and it comes with the brake sensor. Highly recommend it!
Thanks for that, I didn't realise you could change them for hydraulic brakes,I'll take a look!
Palatial. Not sure the blackout feature would suit me, but I know some folks struggle with light in the morning. Does it have a footprint underneath the sleeping compartment?
No it doesn't come with a footprint but I bought a cheap one roughly the size of the sleeping compartment just for a bit of added protection
Nope your wrong you can have a throttle on an e bike in the U.K. as long as it doesn’t go over 6mph 👍 I’ve got the m21 had it about a year so far it’s been great but I’ve changed a few bits to suit me better. Nice to see Fiido finally shipping these out with the T1 pro tyres 👍👍
My apologies,yes you are right, I was just going by what other people had said on videos. Thanks for the correction.
I don't agree with lights on helmets. They should be on the bike only as it shows the direction of travel.
Oooo, pretty! I like! Charging by USB presumably? And how heavy is it?
Yes, usb charging and weighs 410g so not too bad
Hi, thanks for the first look of the tent! I see different graphs for the measurement. What is the length of the inner tent, is it 2.00 meters or is it 2.20 meters?
I like the window, you could easily fashion up a little flap to cover it, I'd just like to be able to see outside without having to open the door. Thanks for the great review, pity amazon aren't selling them at the mo.
I'm asking can Can be used for the very hot summer days ? Or the Star river 2 Can be better ?
I don't get why they put a window that you can't cover. Anyone can see you inside the tent and what you're doing. Who knows... they might even film it.
I agree, it's the only thing I don't like. It would have been better being a vent
Naturehike only shows a 2 or 4 person version now.
Thanks for posting this. I really liked your video style. You had a great day for climbing the Ben. Last time I walked WHW (2017) I’d planned to go up but wasn’t able. I’m still hiking so maybe in the future. Happy trails.
Thanks for the kind words
Great video, some really good shots in there - what camera and editing software are you using? I have just released a new video would appreciate if you could check it out and leave any feedback. Keep up the good work! I’ll make sure to subscribe 😊
Cracking series of vids, providing a useful flavour of what a walker on the WHW might encounter. 👍 Only one question remains. What's next?
Got several multi day hikes in mind for next year,mainly in Scotland but also been looking at the Everest base camp trek!
Mightily impressive achievements sir. Well done indeed! Went in the Grog and Gruel for our evening meal on one of our rides that ended up i n Fort William. Good choice of beers if I remember correctly? Can't believe how busy it was up the Ben! Don't think I saw that many people during the whole of my week away!
It's over 30 years since I was up there, but was the mountain you were wondering about one of the Buachailles?
I think it's called Stob Dearg and yes it is part of the Buchailles
Tyndrum stations: Lower on Glasgow-Oban line, Upper on Glasgow-Fort William. Must have been near Tyndrum when I was travelling home at the end of a bike tour, that a certain M Portillo joined the train. He wasn't with a film crew and it was before his TV progs really took off. The train was quite busy & he had to stand for quite a way. Nobody bothered him; no fuss.
"Who's seat is that? Is it one of ewe?"
Two days in, partly along Loch Lomond and no encounter with the wee beasties?! Nah, dinnae believe it.
There have been midges all the way but not too bad. Been using smidge and seems to work a treat!
Very similar in shape and size to the Vango Tornado I've had for a number of years ... and that's been a good un. I like that full mesh door on this one - good for ventilation. Never sure about mesh walls and especially the roof of the inner though. Don't you get condensation dripping through the mesh when the temp drops a bit?
I've got 3 tents all with mesh inners. Yes they do get condensation on the inside but never had a problem with it dripping through the mesh on any of the tents
@@oldmanwalkinguk6969 Wait I thought the inner is also 20D and not mesh? Oh it also has mesh I see
Why didn't you fly the drone down the plug holes?
Great video! Such lovely views . Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Nice to play around with a drone. I use mine regularly and it's a good change of view to the normal camera POV.
Good one...wouldn't have thought that was your 1st attempt 👏. Liked the 'fast forward' mode...some music might help. Also some fading on your photos. Excellent job 👍
Thanks for the comment and also for the suggestions, I'll try some on my next video, still trying to get used to this newfangled wizardry lol
