    Hi Graham, thanks for posting. I was trike camping this area early September 2014 :) You make good speed considering all the gear / trailer with you. I use a CF Y but not for touring. Depending on dates we may even have been close! Hull-Boston, Boston-Horning via Kings Lynn, Horning-Ely then North again. Good weather. Is that a trike tandem in your avatar? Bit small to tell. I met someone in Norfolk whose parents have one. Ah - edit, found the Greenspeed :) the one mentioned above was an Ice.

  • @ericteela

    Thanks for filming the ride, it's neat to see the english countryside and the recumbents.
    I would give the video a 👍 if the edit were tighter. Having audio overlap the still images is easier on the ears. CZcams has a stabilization option now if your video editing program does not.

      The intro music is loud enough. But the voice is quite low.
      I use my Samsung S5 most of the time. And the volume is adiquite for most all CZcams vids.
      Which leads me to a question,,, and I have never uploaded a vid to youtube, so I have no idea of how to do it. But how do you know how loud to make the volume before you upload the video?

      Hi Nice to hear from you, and well done, I hope you are well
      I would think a trike will be better than walking, but that
      depends on where you are going.
      I have a sprint 9 speed that I have totally rebuilt and it
      has a new back end complete all running gear new and a lot of spares around
      £500 worth to go with it
      I am after £2000 for it, it’s the one in the video, it has a
      rag top as well to go with it, and there is some one interested in it but first come first gets it , it’s ideal for
      touring long distends it has three new wheels and two sets of tyres and a
      newish set on the trike. If interested let me know asap[
      And well done again on the walk

      Hi
      Graham
      I was looking at the whike sail bike at first but they are not responding well. (very slow )
      That has now given me time to look around at other bikes ie ICE i have contacted them in Falmouth.
      Now i will arrive in Madrid on the 26 of April As a long time( MAN CITY FAN I COULD END UP WITH ALL THE CITY FAN as we have just beaten PSG)where i will see my first RECUMBENT TRIKE
      They have a few different type there to
      Now i am finding there is a lot different ones so it not going to be so easy to pick the right one.
      As for you secondhand one i would say that could to be a possibility to
      I will not have much time to make up my mind
      I am sure which every bike i pick i will be rebuilding it on the way
