  • Did a fantastic 4 day bikepacking tour of the Cairngorms in Scotland, wild camping 3 nights. Tough going with beautiful scenery and largely benign weather - it's Scotland so there had to be one bad (half) day.

    Really enjoyed that Gareth, great slow TV and I'm pleased you enjoyed your 'summer' adventure! My tip for you - get a gravity water filter like the AlpKit one; I had a small pump at first and it killed my wrist and a few litres.

      I'll have to check that out, thanks Marek!

    Nice film. One on my ever expanding bike wish list. Looked like the gates were the biggest challenge 😂 Well done for completing 🎉

      Ha - there were a couple of corkers, but not enough to spoil the fun!

    Brilliant video, thanks for sharing.
    I hate having to pass cattle, got chased once many years ago and haven't trusted them since, even though they're usually docile and timid.
    Subbed 👍

      GoPro didn’t record the section where 12 of them were lined along that bank staring at me 🐮 🐮🐮🐮 😬

    Thanks for sharing buddy. Great video. We are taking this on in just over three weeks so it's good to get an idea of the terrain we will be facing.

    Looks like a great route, but I think I'd tackle it on my MTB (even though I have a Camino).

      I've learnt to embrace 'hike a bike' - having a fancy name for it helps!

    Fascinating route Gareth, if it’s beyond your skill set it is definitely beyond my abilities. The nearest we will get to the off-road section will be parts of the Spay side way in September.
    Shame about the musical bed drowning out your audio this time, not sure if you have listened back to you it.

    • @GriffKane
      @GriffKane  Před rokem

      I dropped the music for the important bits - rest is just me wittering!

    • @bimblingabout
      @bimblingabout Před rokem +1

      It looked a great route though, we will be popping on and off bits of the badger divide in September, which will probably be our limit.

    Congrats on a great route ticked off. Nice video, looks amazing (and tough!). Too breezy for the midges?

    Nice video showcasing the route but I’d personally drop the accompanying music, I listened with the audio off

    Looking at your other comments about the accompanying music, i would just like to add that it's a deal breaker for me. Also 6 advert rolls in a 25 min video is excessive. Please listen to your feedback as you have excellent content and personality to grow your channel.

      @GriffKane  Před 9 měsíci

      Sorry Andy, I have no control over the adverts.

    Another fantastic adventure, thanks for sharing. Looks like you have an Alpkit Gravitas jacket. Are you finding it's barely waterproof? Mine is horrendous.

    Great video but the music was too loud and the wrong genre

      Four different tunes in there - which one didn't you like?
