I was lucky on this occasion because someone I knew was on holiday in the Lake District so we all crashed at their rented cottage for a couple of nights! Less wind would be better! I couldn't believe the difference in the weather conditions that day!

    I'll leave you a relevant comment as well... That bike does look really good for under £1K. I'm still using my 4 year old Merida XT, which I also got for under £1K. It's only a 10 speed, and the forks aren't half as good as yours (Suntour 100mm), but I love it. I'm thinking about modifying it now, as I've already got my moneys worth with how much I've ridden it. Might get some better forks and definitely need new tyres.

    Hi Karl 😃 My neck of the woods’ish ❤ Higher Slack farm 🙂 I was trying to zoom in to see if I knew certain areas, cos there’s a perfect dry stone wall up there that I love, then at 1:04 under the exclamation mark’s dot, I noticed what looked like a ruck sack, on zoom up, you didn’t leave one did you or it could be a jumper! Anyhow, brilliant video again, thanks for sharing 🌈✝️🕊️. I also heard some activists let some lynx free many yrs ago too, they could be anywhere in the U.K 🤪 My husband was bit by a dog on a lead once, as the owner walked past him with a long lead! And one ran to our youngest son and bit his hand, which then put our children off dogs and walks for yrs! IF we made it out, we had to pick them up every time we passed a dog! They should make paths around farms and houses ..better for us all that way, I don’t know why they don’t! I think they want all the land so they try to put farmers off in anyway they can ..they as in the powers that be. I hate going through their gardens which are a public way, but have to currently cos there’s no other way! Love Julie x x x

      Well there is nothing wrong with your eyes! To get the drone shot I needed to leave a few things behind. I went back for them. It's such a shame about the dogs. We had an awful run in with a dog walker when my boy was just turning 1. It's not nice. We have a dog and if she went for a chiid I would be mortified. It is odd going through peoples gardens. I have to admit. I did even record a bit about how I feel bad for farmers. They are targeted by criminals a lot these days. It didn't make the final edit. Nice to hear from you. Hope you and the family are doing well. Karl

    Soon as Maven, Litchi or Dronelink work with the Mini 4k you will have both optical active-track and GPS follow-me. Take it from me, GPS follow-me is more usable most of the time. You can position the drone in view in front or next to you and see what it is doing. Maybe you should have gotten the Mini 2 (not SE) as it already is compatible? People thinking only optical tracking is any good just don't have a clue. Now I'm not saying optical tracking is useless. It's a great feature. But it is not a replacement for GPS follow-me! A good drone should have both.

    • @driewiel
      @driewiel 18 днів тому

      The Neo would have been great with a small cheap wireless controller you can use in optical flow mode. Because that makes it very fast to get it in the air. And that's something drone manufacturers and reviewers don't understand. If you have to connect a phone, do calibration, wait for satellites, it just takes too long and you are not going to bother 10-20 times a day. Even better a split controller left/right on your handlebar! Won't need any auto features if you have full control. As for GPS follow-me, it's not only to get video, but also to keep the drone near in between shots. Since the Neo does have GPS that is a matter of a couple lines code. The cheapest GPS drone can have a perfect follow-me. Unfortunately very few are programmed correctly. To prove it's not the price, my L109 Pro was 130 Euro and does everything right. Compass type follow-me, I can put it anywhere, use the sticks anytime. And it even auto-updates homepoint so I don't have to race back like an idiot if RTH kicks in! That's the last thing you want! But the Maven app is done right. A little better than Litchi. Has a nice big update-homepoint in the middle of the screen. So that's the one to check for updates. Or you could try swap your Mini 4k for a Mini 2 if you don't want to wait until DJI releases the SDK for the Mini 4k.

      @driewiel 18 днів тому

      @@BikeTrekkingwithKarl On my channel I have videos of the Fimi A3. The most accurate follow-me drone ever made probably. If I move 1 mm it moves. I can have it fly half a meter from my face and it will never hit me. Or 100 meters away and it will never lose me. It will always stay in compass position to me no matter which way I turn. But I can use the sticks whenever I want. And because I can put it in front of me I don't need obstacle avoidance. That's the problem with optical tracking. It more or less only works from behind. And I don't have eyes in the back of my head. Staring on the phone screen is not an option. Whole point is that it is a press of a button and that's it. Again I love optical tracking especially with obstacle avoidance. Or the way the Neo precisely follows your path. My problem is that the Neo is almost like a 360 camera o a stick. You can't get those epic landscape shots. And it you use the controller and active-track, you have to go to all the settings and use the touchscreen. It takes too long. I mean try use that inner outer circle thing in DJI's app while riding bike. Impossible. And even with obstacle avoidance you keep turning your head like Regan in the Exorcist. The reason why nobody uses it in real life. The footage even looks amateurish going all over the place left right up down. What I do like is how 'point of interest' can be used with a moving subject. It takes time to get the shots you want. But they are dynamic. This said, if you use follow-me and tie the controller to your handlebar they shots could be even better. Soon you let loose of the sticks it will keep following. If optical tracking loses you you have to stop and ride back etc. Gets annoying very quick.

Singing is a sign the soul is happy again 🌈✝️🕊️😇😘🥰😍 x x x I am always happily surprised when I find myself singing after sometimes months of not doing x x x My eldest son sadly didn’t make it past a heartbreaking split, aged just 23 in 2010, with the mother of his two babies, then 3 & a half (his son) and 16 months old (his daughter), with four pints of alcohol still in his system, he jumped off the north bridge in Halifax 😱🤯😭😫 on his way to work as a bus driver around 5:45 am, and a post man saw a blur go over the bridge and checked then called the police. I met this post man in the ring-o-bells pub in Halifax 6 months later, wanting to see the last human to lay eyes on my son before his death, we got on great and hugged and when I got back home in Rochdale from meeting him, I found out my Dad had just hanged himself that day in his shed! 😱🤯 Relationship splits are a grief, and I remember Peter Andre saying he blanked out when he saw a photograph of his children on another man’s shoulders. My sons last words to me the night before he died were that he was worried another man would be around his kiddies and I tried to reassure him as best I could that I’d that did happen, God would have made him strong enough to deal with it by then. So heartbreaking that in such grief of the split, they can’t see any bright future ahead 💔 Anyhow as I said, thanks for sharing your story and I’m glad you made it through to continue to enjoy life when you can x x x I have Gods peace beyond all understanding over my son and Dads deaths and had visions of them safe in His arms 🌈✝️🕊️ Love Julie x

    Frederick Gibson was a gardener at chatsworth and he met Harriet horn there who was a maid there. They got married and later moved to Lyme Park where they worked then, and Frederick became Head gardener. There is a life size black and white picture of him there. They married near chatsworth in Edensor in 1891. They were at Lyme after that. They are my husbands grandma Fells grandparents. Grandma fell’s dad was born at Lyme, Walter Edmund Gibson, their son. Grandma Fell is still alive aged 91. At 3:19 there is a van parked with the name Gibson on 😃🌈✝️🕊️😇😘🥰😍 x x x I see things like this as God joining in for a laugh 🤪 Another anecdote on this is…whilst in Greece last Oct 2023 we were at the temple of Poseidon and I overheard a talk about the Duke of Devonshire taking a pillar from there back to the U.K. My husband told me that was who owned Chatsworth when his 2nd great Grandad Fredrick Gibson was there as the gardener. How unbelievable to think that we just happened to find that out whilst at the temple of Poseidon near all the other pillars, and my husbands 2nd great Grandad would have seen, even cleaned the missing pillar from there 😯. How amazing ..and God connecting us all like a jigsaw 🧩 I also watch a vlogger called By The Curb, by James and Helen, and James went to Chatsworth recently and took his parents who are disabled, and Chatsworth wouldn’t let him drop them by the door without paying £35 even though he wasn’t parking there! This was the other day (his vlog) so his viewers were saying they’d all boycott it 🤣😂🤣 and now here you are at Chatsworth too 🌈✝️🕊️ I’ve never been! But we did go to Lyme park on a heritage open day when it was free, and as we walked into the grounds, there was the life size photo of my husbands 2nd Great Grandad 😃 Frederick Gibson 🌈✝️🕊️ how amazing. (I’m only at the beginning of the video 🤣😂, I’ll watch the rest now) love Julie x

Now you mention the 'By the curb' incident I did have a rude interaction with security there. They stopped me stopped me in the middle of the road and then proceeded to tell me off for stopping in the road. It was so random. My wife and son also had a rude interaction with them.

    How do you all feel about your bikes? Love them? Or are they just bikes.. I didn't go into a lot of detail about what is wrong with the bike.. The bike is over 15 years old. The rear hub is shot, the cassette is shot, the rear break doesn't hold its pressure for long and every bearing probably needs replacing. Could she be fixed?.. Yes she totally could be, but at this point it is more economical to get a new bike. Also bike tech has changed a lot in the last decade and a half... so there is that!

    I started a cycle at 4 am from Odiham to do the Basingstoke canal to the m25 and back. I have a paralysed arm and a fused ankle but as a keen cyclist I thought I'd give it a go. I did 3 miles and turned back, was shitting myself about falling in! The water was at least 3 foot down the bank and I thought if I go in I'm fucked. The path was uneven and over grown and I wasn't having it. Went home gutted, next week I cycled from Guildford to Shoreham and back on the downs-link......much safer!
