Had my Brompton with me, so why not ride it home - 700km Sweden & Denmark, train to London in 1 day
After spending summer together with my husband in Sweden, I was heading back to England. I had my Brompton and my tent with me, and saw that you can go by train in a single day from the Danish/German border to London. So I decided to ride a new 700km route through Sweden and Denmark, exploring two big, wild Scandinavian regions I had not seen before, and then fold up the bike, and hop on a train home.
I did the journey over a couple of weeks in early September, camping wild all the way. It was fabulous - glorious autumn days, misty mornings, golden sunsets.
There are going to be two films about this adventure - this film is about a week cycling across Sweden, on tracks and trails, camping wild by wind shelters and at wild swimming spots and just at large in the forest. The second film will be a week riding north to south all the way down Denmark's Jutland peninsula, using the fantastic Danish "primitive" wild camping network again, and then zooming by train to London.
Hope you enjoy the film!

Bromptons, trains & buses - Dad is back! a summer cycling holiday in Norfolk
Переглядів 11 тис.3 місяці тому
This was a holiday using Brompton folding bikes, combined with trains & buses. We used trains and buses to get out of town, and cycled in the country lanes hunting out places we wanted to see. We both love history "treasure hunt" type holidays, and cycling is such an enjoyable way to get around. Planning a holiday like this is not hard really, but it does take a bit of research. The trains were...
I've never been as lost as this!! Bikepacking on my Brompton in Sweden, into Småland, wild camping
Переглядів 17 тис.3 місяці тому
I cycled and camped wild through the far south of Sweden, four days of gravel tracks and lovely quiet lanes. This film is the second part of this two-part series, and covers the ride from Skåne through the borderlands and into Småland. It was a brilliant journey! But on this section, I made a big mistake and got very lost! So, this is a sort of "how not to do it" video... It did give me a feel ...

I took my Brompton on another cycling and camping adventure, this time in southern Sweden, with my trusty Hilleberg tent and little old Trangia stove. Responsible wild camping is legal here, and is a beloved part of life that everyone is encouraged to enjoy. There is loads of space. It's a joy to pitch quietly by a Swedish lake or in a wood, and sit there and listen to the birds and the wind in...

After ten days and 700km of cycling, I crossed into Denmark on my Brompton. Yay! I was just loving this whole journey, on a long-distance cycle tour again, free, and happy. I rode across the Danish countryside, camping "semi-wild", discovering Denmark's brilliant network of simple camp spots. This was my first time cycling in Denmark, and I really enjoyed it.

I cycled to Sweden on my Brompton last summer. It was *brilliant* to be able to do a longer camping & cycling adventure again. The idea was to ride and meet up with my husband in Sweden (he is Swedish). This was the second section of the journey, through Germany. For cycling and camping, Germany was very different from the Netherlands. There were far fewer proper campsites in Germany, and I had...

In August, Dad and I thought we'd do a cycling holiday, and test out using Bromptons combined with local buses. Dad took up cycling in his 60s, doing local trips by bicycle instead of by car, hopping on the bike pretty much every day to nip the shops, or see friends. Now he's 87, and he's still out every day doing local errands by bike - riding 20 mins or so - as well as heading out on longer l...

In May, I took my Brompton and my little tent and cycled through the Peak District, to go and see my Dad. There were a lot of hills - and quite a lot of inquisitive cows - along the way.

    Hi Susanna.... love your Brompton adventures and have posted on your brilliant videos before.. this is not a bike query, but I've also downloaded some of the great background music you use .. and particularly like Houses on the Hill.. what a brilliant band... that first album is great and Ebba's vocals are just so good... I thought at first they must be mainstream (I'm an old man and very out of touch). I thought they'd be all over online but they weren't... then I tracked them down to Stockholm but there's nothing about gigs and whether they tour. I'd be grateful for some more info about them and if there's any chance of them coming over here... anyway, great to see you keeping up the good work 👍.

      Hi Mickey B! oh that is nice yeh Houses on the Hill seem to be a brilliant band. I don't know anything about them actually - I found them on Epidemic Sound, which is the music library I am using. "World Goes By" is my favourite track of theirs. I love the sound and I like the lyrics too. I used that one in the film I did about riding through Germany on the way Sweden... ua-cam.com/video/yKOi_pVoSok/v-deo.htmlsi=F5R5th4OjIooPaVg Ahhhh I just watched that film again myself as I was thinking about it! I love trying to find music that matches how I felt when I was there, and of the whole experience I had. I love that. Anyway, thank you for watching!

In China things have modernised massively over the last 15 years. When I saw Josh Reid's film of riding a similar route recently, it made me kind of laugh looking at some of the smooth roads and things. The other thing that is massively different is the internet. I had no smart phone GPS map type stuff at all. Just paper maps and pointing and asking the way haha - it was kind of the last moment before everything went digital, a whole other world that is hard to remember now almost. @Josh-Reid Josh's great film is here ua-cam.com/video/Mmdxs_0yYwc/v-deo.html&pp=ygUYZHJvbmUgY3ljbGluZyBmcm9tIGNoaW5h

    Hi Susanna, really love these gear vids, especially from someone with as much experience as you and who's not trying to sell something. On that note. I have a three season down sleeping bag as I live in and go bike touring in southern Spain. However, the older I get the more I feel the cold at night but certainly don't want to buy another sleeping bag. You mentioned a sleeping bag liner a reactor lite I think from seatosummit, seems like the perfect solution. Would you recommend it? Which one have you got? I note also that you use a self inflating sleeping pad. I've lost count of the sleeping pads I've bought that have failed but I just cannot justify to myself the extortionate cost of leading brand pads. I too therefore am going to buy a self inflating pad which should be rather more robust and reasonably priced. Cheers, happy riding.

    • @susannathornton
      @susannathornton Місяць тому

      Hi there! just sat down and saw your message so will answer before I start the next thing! yeah sounds like your sleeping bag is similar to mine, 3-season down, many years old in my case so mine prob has lost a good bit of its original loft or whatever. But still a great bit of kit. Anyway yeah to avoid needing to buy another sleeping bag for winter, I bought a SeatoSummit "Thermolite fabric Reactor" liner a few years ago. On the little bag that comes with the liner, it just says "Regular". Looks like they have changed the product names a bit since I bought mine - I looked online just now kind of quickly and they now seem to have liners called Standard, and Extreme ones as well. FWIW my Regular one is dead simple black bag no frills made out of quite thin soft stretchy knitted fabric. I am OK down to about zero if I use it inside my sleeping bag, and if it is even colder I do that plus I spread my jacket or something over the top of my sleeping bag. Actually I use the liner in summer too on its own as a thin summer sleeping bag, with my sleepign bag opened out as a quilt, and that makes a really nice combo for warm weather. Anywaway, hope that helps! Hope you get a good self inflating mattress too. Best wishes!

    Hi Susanna. I just wanted to say thank you for making your videos about Brompton cycling trips. My wife and I do a Brompton tour every year, usually abroad but sometimes in Suffolk and Norfolk. I use your videos as inspiration to get out there and explore new places, We don't camp (yet) on our tours, but I really appreciate that you record your camping places and particularly your meals! Lots of ideas there. Thanks again. Chris

      Next year we are planning a trip on Bromptons to visit my German penfriend of 53 years (we started writing when we were 14) in northern Germany. Just watched your video cycling to Gothenburg. Excellent detail on wild camping campsites and cooking. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

    This looks like a really peaceful place. Thanks for sharing. You have a lovely pace to your videos. And I always enjoy seeing what you’re cooking. Yes I know what you mean about navigating out of towns - I find it’s rarely straight forward! 😊🚲🌿
