100% agree with you bloody kids lol
Welcome to the grumpy old man’s club 🤣🤣
Love the Isle of Wight
You will enjoy he next few episodes then....
the campsite stokes farm ir good me and my uncle set up a campsite my uncles dead now but me and auntie have got old and tired started to put motorcyclist down as far as possible my brother was not interested in taking part i running it a lot of motorcyclist tend to tell us they know better then us even though i traveld 40 years and 1000 rallys round the world haven't been on a long camping trip since losing my wife to cancer and my good job that's why i set up a campsite and the some motorcyclist treated us me and my auntie we not buying our food and milk and beer we got me and my late wife did tho isl of white a year for over 10 years
Sorry to hear of your wife, hopefully our videos will bring you happy memories and joy
It shows how much you both love this camping lark…especially after being away for a month.
Any decisions on the next big adventure !?
Ever done the big Scottish loop? Think they call it the 500?
Hi Steve, yes the NC500, I have done it Ewa has not yet, it’s an amazing route but getting the time of year right is crucial to avoiding rain and midges!
Come on rich. Engage with the youngsters as they are all that will keep alive. By the way, helmet is a shoei and the bike goes 150 as says 150 on clock, so faster than you mate!
Its ok, he knew ewa was the soft touch lol
The fire maple kit is simply a Chinese copy of the Trangia and no wind protection for the flame whatsoever I won’t be swapping for my Trangia kit 😂👍
Well that is fair statement lol However If you didnt already own the Trangia would you buy the Firemaple version at a third of the cost? We do agree though the Trangia wins this one by a small margin
Hi R+E. Love the show and really enjoyed the European tour. That's what got me into the chanel. I have a F750 GS and do a lot of camping with it. Have you seen the AMOK?... Worth a peek. Thanks again. Xx
Hi Thanks for Joining us, Whats the AMOK?
@@ontheroadadventure it's a brand. Norwegian Hammock. It's a transverse lay lol, so your hips point at the trees, not your head and feet. Nice to be off the ground sometimes. Xx
Oh i see, Never thought about a hammock
Hi both, lovely place great childhood memories ( 66 now omg) you’ve racked up some miles lately. Do you service the bikes yourselves or a dealer. How are the bikes holding up. I know u getting married but is ewa getting maternal. Werent u the same rich as a kid
Yeah we do get through the miles! 22k last year. Ewa’s bike is under warranty so she has to go to the dealer. Mine is not so I can do the servicing myself unless it’s valves then I take it to the pros
Hi guys. Is utube your full time job now.
I'm with you Richard i could see bugs flying around it in the tent 😂
Sort of! Full time work but we pay it lol. We love doing it though so much, and will make videos for as long as we can afford to do it for you. It’s our usual sink or swim approach 👍
@ontheroadadventure just keep it like your doing it, cause it works.
Thanks bud, fingers crossed 🤞
I like watching Adam Riemann, too. Glad Ewa seems to enjoy him as well.
Cool, that you were out on another camping trip. Seems like I really have to get on one now, too. Just want to do it with someone else but my best friend is not a camping guy and I don´t really know other bikers. So probably have to look for some solo camping tips on CZcams.
Tomorrow we will do our first trip together, though. I still need to pamper the 1300 until the first service but we will do a 390km/240mile ride tomorrow. We will practice a couple of weekends now until we go for our 7 day trip from southern Germany to Tuscany and back at the beginning of August. Mainly trying if our intended daily trips are not too much or too little and how well Calimoto and the intercom work. Plus tomorrow we should get 32°C. Good test for my new riding gear and if it is a wise idea to use it in Italy as well.
Start small and build up your trips especially with the camping, enjoy the process. Thanks for joining us, may you learn from our mistakes
@ontheroadadventure at least I have learned about quilts already 🤣. And that MSR tents seem to be indestructible 😁. But on a serious note: yes, your videos help a lot. I'm really interested in how the firemaple stuff will do.
We really rate the fire maple stuff, the trangia is good to as a perfect all rounder all though more expensive. We have always promised that we will never market crap, if its crap we either wont feature it or we will tell you its crap
Been there a couple of times on my quad with the family, and I'm going again in August with my daughter on the back.
We love the place ❤❤
Oh thats cool, its great you can do it with your daughter on the Quad
Bet you love cheese with Avacado and Onion too 😊Cheese always makes me feel better Gromit....
Cheese makes everything better!
Love your videos, they are addictive. Nice to see you visiting our Island, shame we didn't bump into you both.
Glad you like them!
So agree with eva about the distance to the toilet!!
Its the biggest annoyance when camping, getting up and going for the long cold walk to pee
Pity you didn’t get a chance to have a beer in the Spyglass Inn( where the lad on the pushbike was). One of my favourite IOW pubs. 👍🏼
Cant do it all i guess, a good excuse to go back sometime though
You could see the bugs flying about the repeller lamp
Yes.... Now we are always honest about these things which is why that was not edited out... We are not convinced on the Repeller or we simply were using it wrong, we would be interested to hear other peoples opinions. The Flextail pump is amazing and we liked the light feature but that does ironically attract the bugs!
@@ontheroadadventure go to a chemist and get yourself some Avon Skin So soft cream it's what the US army use to repel bugs, it's what people use in the Scottish highlands and swear by it
Yes we have some of that from our last trip to Scotland, works well 👍
I've never been to the Isle of Wight, it does look really nice, we had Belgium white chocolate cookies too! Tesco's finest 😋
Tescos finest! nothing less will do
Wow, Rich and Ewa, this video was an absolute delight! It seems like there are various magical places on your side of the world that one has to travel to by ferry. Out of curiosity, does this make traveling to these places more expensive? And if it does, how long do you normally stay in these places where you have to travel by ferry?
How was the coffee on the ferry, by the way? 🛳☕
Rich, asking Ewa what's on the menu is definitely the way to go! Can't wait to see what culinary delights you two whip up next. Rich, avocado and onion for dinner? I can't wait to see how that turns out! 🥑🧅😂
Rich, red squirrels... seriously? I hope there's some footage of them because I've never seen or heard of a red squirrel before. 🐿📹
I went on Google to get more details about the place you're traveling to. The Isle of Wight sounds incredible! Beaches, vintage beach huts, dinosaur fossils, and those iconic Needles - it all sounds so dreamy! 🌊🦖🏝
Here are some must-see free Isle of Wight sights for you and Ewa:
- Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary
- The Sir Max Aitken Museum
- Northwood Park
- The Garlic Farm
- Coastal walks
- Brighstone Museum
- Quarr Abbey
- The Needles headland walk
The campsite looks huge and the grass is so green! The benches at Freshwater Bay look so inviting. I can just imagine you and Ewa sitting there, enjoying a breathtaking sunset. 🌅
Ewa, you go girl! The admirer on the bicycle. . Rich, what was going through your mind in the distance at that moment?
While watching this video, I realized it doesn't seem like there's much traffic where you were driving. 🚗✨
Rich, about the FlexTail - I think, putting it outside on a separate video by a "disgusting place" where flies and mosquitoes are having a party would be the ultimate test to see if it really works as claimed. 🦟🦗
Love the cook setup with the Firemaple! It looks similar to the Trangia you used. Just wondering, do the air holes on the Firemaple make it use more fuel in windy situations? The pot and pan grip looks big and uncomfortable - how was it to use and clean?
Thanks for another fantastic adventure, guys! Can't wait for the next one. 🌍✨
Hi, the ferry is only about £30 but it’s a short way off of the mainland. Coffee on the ferry is expensive so don’t worry until you get off.
We didn’t get to see any red squirrel this time but I promise you they are there!
Fire maple was great to use, it’s a much cheaper option to trangia but it is a bit bigger to carry
We were there last week for four days on the GS, had a brilliant time, plenty to do. Loving your trips guys.
Great weather for it, long may it continue
Love the IOW. Spent a few times touring it. Btw spotted the two of you in Cheddar yesterday parking up by the cafe. You looked busy so didn't want to interrupt.
Hi, you should have come and said hi! 👋 Cheddar is a lovely spot, we like to come here
I did mention you on my channel today, especially about the sleeping bag!😂😂😂
Great Vid as usual!, Love the IOW!, Been going there for years!, Next time your there check out Waverley Park , East Cowes!, Fantastic site with great views over the Solent with amazing sunsets !👍🏴
We discovered east Cowes and all the amazing ships going by…
Military road is as smooth as silk.
and the views Epic..
Great video guys ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
It was Nice to meet both of you on your way back on the Ferry to the mainland 👍
You too bud!
If you ever come back down this way I will get you discounted tickets 😉
very kind bud, cheers
Super duper footage guys are you ever afraid you’ll lose that drone in the sea … lol I have to say I get a bit anxious for you 😂😂
Thanks, yes im defo more skilled with it now than when i started it but yeah i always tell people to insure the drone as a mistake is expensive! Birds are the biggest threat, they will attack it mid flight if your not careful and knock it out the sky
Just going to say use the quilt the right way round.😂. Won't mention it again. Take it from a man who made the same mistake 😅
Hi Pete! Glad to meet someone as daft as me! How did you come to find out?
I’m surprised you risked camping so close to the trees after Spain 😅
Whats the chances it could happen twice?!
Not quite ready for parenthood then Rich? They're great, actually. Trust me.
I can see sidecar family outings looming in the future..
Ride safe 👍
Lol i cant see that happening but who knows what comes next?!
I only rode a sidecar outfit once and ended up going right over a roundabout! Never again (I was a yoof at the time though!)
Nice one guys 👋🤠👍stay safe
Thanks, will do!
I've been to the IOW a few times over the years, mainly for work. I was doing bits in the 2 Morrisons on the island (Newport and Sandown). I found the place quite frustrating because of how slow and laid back it was.
As I was traveling in a LWB van the price to cross was crazy expensive.
Yes i believe per mile the Ferry is one of the most expensive out of the uk. Traffic can be very busy near the main towns for sure
Love the IOW we go to the scooter rally every august bank holiday weekend for the last 15 years. Great places to visit and the military road is a great ride. Love Ventnor enjoyed you video as always 😊
We have never ridden Scooters, Ewa loves how the vespa looks, we need to look for a chance to ride some somewhere
@@ontheroadadventure come on a scooter rally with us this summer. There is one in Devizes end July 🛵
Love the Isle of Wight....are you ever not on holibobs? 🏍️💨💨😸👍
We got a responsibility to keep you guys entertained now!
What a coincidence for I was sat opposite the Lymington ferry terminal on the quayside today enjoying an early lunch before heading off to Swanage. Incidentally on my way to Lymington on my trusty Honda NC750 (I decided to use it instead of the ZZR1400) it returned 108mpg. Staggering.
I ended up doing 340 miles and on the way back I dropped in to what I reckon must be the biggest bike night of the year, at Cassington near Oxford. There were literally thousands of bikes there.
Those NC750's are amazing, how on earth are they so economical?!
@@ontheroadadventure I'm redoing the whole day again on Wednesday, but this time on the ZZR. I can't wait...
Bring ya wallet then bib!
@@ontheroadadventure Never mid the wallet, I make sure I bring a flask for those necessary stops. Ironically I find the ZZR way more comfortable for long-haul trips on the motorway. If it's really hot I park the bike at Lymington ferry terminal and go across as a foot passenger. If you're back in the area again the bakers in Brockenhurst are one of the best I know (super delicious and super-sized cakes).
Yeh-Honda NC’s are seriously underrated bikes; perfect around town and for general touring.
our small group have been going for years but wife and i decided to give it a miss this year.
The military road is a great ride.
Visit the propeller inn at Bembridge they do great sandwiches for lunch and watch all the small planes land and take off, Its a nice ride there as well.
if you like plenty off coffee stops with not to many miles the I O W a great place to visit.
How come you didn’t go this year?
@@ontheroadadventure The wife just fancied a break from it after quite a few years on the trot. Will go again though for sure.
Thats fair enough, its good to go experience something new
Hi Guys. Enjoying your videos, especially the drone footage. What drone are you using? 😃
Hi thanks so much, we use a DJI drone, i think they are all good these days after a decent price point
Brilliant don’t blame you while the sun is shining and summer is finally here. I loved the fire pit you had in your last episode. Just wounded if you order one do you get charged import taxes to the uk? You have expired us with your camping trips and we have bought a tent and camping gear for the bike for some cheap weekends away when we come back for are tour to Ireland in 3 weeks time can not wait 👍 we love your videos 👍
Hi Andrew glad to have inspired you to motocamp, when the weather is good its just great, we now prefer it to paying a hotel £100 for a room... We havent paid any additional taxes for delivery's. Enjoy Ireland, may you get many sunny days there..
I’ve never thought of going over to the Isle of Wight, didn’t think it was very big or worth visiting… as usual you guys make it look like something I want to do now
Oh yes, the coastal rides are beautiful as is the countryside in land
We had a brilliant trip over there. We rode the proposed IOW TT route, brilliant.
Well worth a visit, I still go back and watch our videos from when we were over there
Such a shame that Road race plan fell to the wayside
@@ontheroadadventure Certainly was. Some of the route was really twisty and there are houses right on the bends that you could imagine all sorts if they lost control there.
Hopefully they'll look at it again🤞
Yeah sadly allot of risk comes with this type of racing
As soon as Ewa open the oils I thought the exact same thing. A bunch of condoms, but they look small for you, right!😅
Of course 👍😂😂
They whare thinking about using the iow for a similar race like the iom but nothing heard 😢
Yes thats right, it seems to have fizzled out now, shame would have been great for the island
Can i ask did you guys use your sat nav on the N2 in Portugal!!!!
Hi, yes we used the sat nav as a guide, i dont think we had it on anything but having it infront of you will show you the road names so your aware approaching roundabouts etc which turning youll be taking. It is often labelled EN2 on the maps
ps we shut the campsite down and we rent it to a farmer to graz cattle lovely animals
Just a no no for me end of
Your not a fan of the IOW then?
@@ontheroadadventure yeah but not a fan of camping but I love your videos 👌💯👍
Fair enough, we completely get it! If money was no object we would be in a nice hotel each night but camping just makes it possible for us to travel for longer on a small budget. We don’t dislike it tho, we enjoy it more than we thought we would provided the weather is good
