Video

Glad they are still of use. Hope you did a better job of following the directions to Balloch than I did 😉

I'm good thanks. Since lockdown I'm doing more more cycling, but less filming of my rides and I've still got the inverness leg of 7 to edit, 7 years on ugh. Thankyou for the kind words on the videos. They look pretty shakey now, stabilisation technology has moved on so much since I did them, but glad they are still useful 🙂

Thanks for the kind comments. As for the music, what can I say, it was free. If I ever get round to editing the final episode, it will be better, I promise. (BTW its kinda strange noone mentioned the music on any of these for the first 6 years, and suddenly there's a lot of music criticism. Tastes change I suppose). 😉

@@SartorialPictures I guess so. Great videos though and they're giving me a lot of inspiration to come and do these rides when I'm collecting British Cycle Quests. Keep up the good work.

I did this just two weeks ago, but North to South. Thanks for these videos. I watched them all before going and they really helped planning.

Thankyou so much. That's exactly the motivation I need to get that Inverness leg finished 😎

Och I know, it was the best I could get at the time. But even Beethoven is repetitive 😎

Thankyou. Sure, just follow the guidelines in the description and credit.

Yeah, I go that way a lot now and back up the canal to Maryhill. I keep thinking it's so obvious and don't know how I missed it for the video. I think I should have done dry run first 😎

Well the Bowling part is now a lot better with the 'bowline' flyover that skips the road crossing.

@@SartorialPictures just updated the post and tagged you !

Good to know. What version are you on now?

@@SartorialPictures I'm on the newest version before they really screwed it up. I had to email them and demand a refund for the latest version. Hahaha its like a whole different software, and much worse

@@mikksup thanks for the warning. I'm still on 13. It works 😅

@@SartorialPictures DO NOT UPGRADE!!! haha, seriously

The music was very fashionable back when the video was made, just like the unstabilised gopro footage 😉

Station Road Car Park on the North side of the town/ main road. It's a big car park with toilets.

@@SartorialPictures Thank you 🙏

It was a specialized tricross, so a bit like a modern gravel bike, 32mm tyres, but I run it with 40mm tyres now.

Hmmmm... only thing I can think of is to check you are in advanced edit mode (buttons top left of screen)

Thank you for your kind comments

No, nothing modern like that :-). It's well signposted though and if you need it for your computer it's an easy one to generate.

How long did it take you round trip please?

It's tough, no doubt. Toughest stage on the route by far. A Ben Nevis amount of climbing and pretty rough too.

@@SartorialPictures Yes. I like your videos as you give information on surfaces etc which really helps when using a road bike

Thanks!!! You helped me a lot..

I last did the route exactly 1 year ago, and I'd expect no further change since then. So the only update from the video is the addition/improvement of tarmac from callander to the forest holidays park. That covers what was the muddy falls of Leny section. However, the other rough sections remain (1) the strathyre hairpins ... it's short so you can walk that in 5 minutes and (2) the descent into Killin. This is longer and is a bumpy land rover type track. I did it in 23mm tyres in the video so if your road bike is more modern than my 2008 allez and has say 28mm tyres it would be more comfortable than I found it, so long as you take your time.

@@SartorialPictures thanks for the update, I’ll bare that in mind when I go up to do it

Thank you so much. I know What you mean about rewatching ... I keep watching the gcn video of the North coast 500. Amazing scenery, it's how I'd like my videos to be. Hoping to get the Inverness one out soon :-)

Thankyou. I agree. I need the music often to cover the wind noise, but some of the free stuff is not the best. Better music planned for future ones

Och i know, still haven't done the edit :-(

@@SartorialPictures Ha ha, just so long as I hadn't missed it somewhere. Have watched all of the others this morning in a bit of a NCN7 fest, your films are very enjoyable and easy to watch, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the last piece when you get round to it! :)

@@pootlingalong8928 Thankyou. I've left it so long now that some of the route has been delisted/downgraded out of NCN7 by sustrans as part of their network review 😎.

@@SartorialPictures Ah! Interesting, and thanks for the update. Hopefully they'll tweak another way for us one day :)

Hi there. You'll find the answer in the title, the description and its the most duscussed subject in the other comments;-)

@@SartorialPictures in what minute did you use the rode videomicro?

@@jalisco1800 The two interviews were done on the video micro.

@@SartorialPictures Nice, thanks for the quick response.

Oof, I've been avoiding anywhere I reckon might be 'popular' recently. Sounds like that's wise.
