More from our trip to Scotland. We left St Andrews and headed out on the Coast Path. It was just one days walk and one days wild camp. It was interesting to pass by the Caiplie Caves, just after Crail. Caiplie Caves - 56.243332°N 2.647271°W We walked on to Cellardyke and Anstruther in the morning to find a coffee. Here by the coast there was no midges so it was good to for wild camping. Timesta...

Goodbye Motorcycle

I am going to sell my good old bike - a 2010 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic. I'll miss it - so I made this video to help me remember what it's like to take this for a spin. The angle is bad and the audio is worse but - good enough. I'm going to take a break from biking - actually I crashed that scooter I rented in Corfu, that was my first 'crash' in ten years or so riding motorbikes. I was going round a...
Isle of Arran - wild camping, ancient sites, wildlife
Переглядів 1955 місяців тому
We spent a few days exploring the Isle of Arran in Scotland. We drove to Ardrossan where we picked up the ferry which takes us to Brodick. It was windy and wild feeling, but luckily it stayed dry. A gannet flew side by side with us for most of the crossing. It was the last ferry of the day and it was late when we arrived so we found a campsite and pitched our tents. The next day promised to hav...
SW COAST PATH ⋆ Pt 2 - HELSTON - FALMOUTH ⋆ Wild camping/backpacking/bivouac
Переглядів 2,3 тис.6 місяців тому
For the second stage of our coast path trip we were walking from Helston - Falmouth. The weather had improved which made the backpacking much easier. The bivvy bags were easy to dry in the sun so it wasn’t so bad that they got damp from the dew and rain showers. Helston - Gunwalloe was just a short stage for the end of the day. It took much longer than I expected to walk out of Helston. Would h...
SW COAST PATH ⋆ Pt 1 - ST IVES - PENZANCE ⋆ Wild camping/backpacking/bivouac

Phoebe’s first time on the SW coast path. For me, the second. When I was younger I took a backpack, an army blanket and a bivvy bag and walked from St Ives to Penzance. I remember I was so cold at night because I had such inadequate gear - no mattress and no sleeping bag. Nevertheless, I persevered and walked hard and long days to make it Penzance. Now I have much better gear so it was relative...

Autumn mushroom hunt with Phoebe

Hunting for mushrooms in Wales. It should go without saying - do not eat any foraged mushroom unless you are 100% positive they are not toxic. We don't consume any mushrooms because we're not confident enough we can correctly identify the species.

Hi, how many kilometers does the tank last?
The fuel tank warning light had a mind of its own so I never could tell.
That was fun.
Fantástico. Pura esencia. Quiero hacerlo este año en mayo (el año pasado hice el francés desde SJPP). Voy solo. Me ha parecido ver muy poca gente, también en los albergues. Gracias por las notas sobre el equipamiento. Ha sido todo muy minimalista. Posiblemente el mejor video que haya visto del Camino Primitivo, sin duda.
Really helpful thanks.
the bird sound is awesome. real time audio? too good to be true #asmr #walking
Спасибо 👍
About to attempt this mid feb same route to meet my mom in Leon march 1st to carry on the rest of the way 🥶 looks wonderful , was it pretty easy to find a place along the way during March ?
Sounds good, I wish I was going again. Yes it was easy to find places spontaneously. We never booked ahead, stayed flexible and were never without somewhere to stay. If I remember correctly, before mid-march not all albergues are open so if you plan on deviating from the 'stages' and were aiming for a specific place/albergue, it's perhaps worth double checking it will be open. I'm sure when you're walking you will meet lots of friendly pilgrims, hospitaleros and locals who will help if you need advice on the next destination. Buen camino
@ sounds perfect 👍🏻 much rather be surprised there than book everything in advance -thanks for your help !
Walked Camino Frances this June, loved your video, makes everything come back, considering Primitivo way for next year.
Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for commenting. I'm sure you'll love the Primitivo. Buen Camino.
Great video. I just finished the Primitivo as well.
Thanks for your comment. Buen Camino.
Very impressive but at 15.17 i can see you are walking in sandals. Wow, could not do that myself. Just loved it. Thanks
Haha, a lot of people are shocked by her sandals - they're unorthodox but actually very practical. 'Teva Hurricanes' have good tread, are light, breathable and they dry off very quickly. Thanks for watching mate and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Ah the trusty Berghaus Arrow 💪
If you know, you know 💪
Congratulation!!! Great video. Santiago de Compostela is always in my dream since 15 years ago. The journey I really want to do it before my end. I'm in my mid sixty and I have to do it, before too old and couldn't walk anymore. I plan to do it in 2026, if there is no such thing up front. I'm going the Camino Primitivo also. Your video really made my spirit up. Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey. 🙏♥
@@gunw58 thanks for watching and it was so nice to read your comment. You’re going to have such a good time when you walk on the Camino!
Enjoyed that , new sub here 👍🏕
Nice one mate🙏
Such stunning views! You’ve really captured the essence of these landscapes. Incredible videos! 👍6
@@KhurshidsChannel thanks mate, I appreciate your comment. Scotland is incredible isn’t it.
Top👌
I don't understand how you can be videoing yourself - surely somebody is walking behind you with a camera?
That’s right, I am walking behind Phoebe with a camera.
This video is amazing! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful experience! 👍7
Thanks for watching man, it was a great experience for sure.
Inspirational…
🙏
this is fantastic - so serene ! what camera do you use, out of interest ?
Thanks mate, -Sony A7C, -Sony 35mm lens - usually set to f/2.8 -ND Filter -DJI RS3 mini gimbal
Serious, there is no reason to change the o-ring. Only the crush washer.
Drop the exhaust system for access. To change the copper exhaust gaskets I found it really easy to drop the entire exhaust system off the V7ii. Remove the four exhaust nuts. Remove the two Lambda. Remove the two silencer bolts. Pull forwards. The system will drop, an assistant might be handy. If you have not fitted the centre stand, do so, maintenance is so much easier.
The various V7 marques use different amounts of oil - do check your book. The spark plugs often come out of the box at 0.9mm gap. I have had a garage fit them at that, and they misfire. They must be set to 0.70mm as the book says (this is the normal gap for electronic ignition). The "0.70" to 2.d.p. means 0.695 to 0.704, exactly 0.70mm.
What’s the name/ make of your tipi tent? 😊
Hi there, It's a GoLite Shangri La/Hex - It's quite old now I'm not sure they make them any more. I love this tent though.
really enjoyed this, the sights, the sounds, the silence.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed my video. Thanks for your comment.
Walk, eat, sleep, repeat. The simplicity is a meditation itself.
Absolutely.
🐝thanks for the great video🌻
Enhorabuena has plasmado el espíritu del auténtico camino ese camino lo hice en 2011 y quiero repetirlo como ya te he dicho anteriormente en 2025 también en mayo
Thanks for saying so, I appreciate it. Buen Camino for 2025.
Qué tal el camino de alojamientos quiero hacer el año que viene en mayo
Who's filming?
That would be me.
@@robinfrench1914 Wow, that's impressive! I wonder how you did that. The footage is very cool.
@kayasper6081 thanks very much for saying so. I use a small gimbal and a mirrorless camera with IBIS to try and get as steady a shot as possible.
Your video was a lot of fun to watch. I also hiked the Primitivo in May for the second time (2023 as well) so watching made me feel like I was still there walking. You were lucky on the Hospitales as it was covered in heavy cloud on both of my hikes. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed reading your comment.
Ambient sounds, great views, no inane wittering to camera and definetly no plinking plonking background music! Great vid,Top job, Nice one!

Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍9

What beautiful shots, and how nice you enjoy just walking and filming in peace and quiet, I’m inspired to get out there again thank you Robin !😊
That’s great to hear. Thanks for watching 🙏
You got some nice weather , sometimes you can forget how Beautiful England is 😊
Yeah I was happy when the sun came out. Camping is a lot more fun when the weather is good. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment.
Great content! Are you interested in working with us?

Halcyon days, you will remember that walk for ever, and the sound of the waves of course.! A great video, thankyou.
I’m sure you are right, thanks so much.
Amazing video. Enjoyed watching it. Thank you for sharing. sub and 👍60
Thanks man, I appreciate that.
Absolutely a atmospheric vlog. Silence is golden. What a different way of showing us a superbly filmed adventure 😊😊
Thanks so much 🙏
Thank you for sharing. What a great walk I feel I am walking with you. I like that there’s no commentary too 😊
Glad that you could join us 🙏
great walk
Tiene muy buena pinta el entorno del Camino Primitivo. Hace unos años hice el Camino Francés, y me encantaría hacer algún día el Primitivo desde Oviedo hasta Santiago de Compostela. Enhorabuena por el vídeo. Un saludo desde Huelva. 😊✌️
I'd really recommend to walk this route - we both loved it. I hope you get the chance soon. Thanks for your comment my friend.
It would be cool to take a pet goat with you
I'll see what I can do haha
@@robinfrench1914 lol pls
sweeet
What a beautiful place.waves,birds sounds are nice.thanks for showing us.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment very much.
Nice one. In June 1998, after many years of walking segments, I walked the whole SWCP. The St Ives to Penzance stretch is so special. The memories of scenery and especially wildlife remain: juvenile adders basking; a three-legged fox; a v. elderly badger taking a daytime nap on the path itself; peregrine falcons; thresher sharks (possibly) off Bosigran; and so much more. Was that a jackdaw grumbling at 2:57?
Must have been great to walk the whole way. One day maybe I will do the same. It’s a real challenge though I imagine, not just the distance but the consistently difficult terrain. Think that one was a jackdaw - they were keeping an eye on us for a while. This section was very wild feeling. I thought I saw something large and dark jump out of the water but I couldn’t make out the silhouette. Perhaps a seal but there is the possibility it could have been a shark. Thanks for your comment it was nice to read.
@@robinfrench1914 When I finished the walk (I added on the Isle of Portland) I wanted to turn around and walk back, retracing my steps and viewing a completely different perspective. As for the thresher sharks below Bosigran, some have scoffed but local fisherman mentioned that they (the sharks) sometimes have an odd social gathering inshore. Once one gets into the 'zone' on remote walks it becomes almost a spiritual trek.
@@wills681 yeah it's hard to stop when you've been walking so long. I agree it's easy to connect to something spiritual when you're making these journeys through a landscape - for many reasons.
I did that same hike in September 2023. I'm glad you like Galicia (it's where I live). Greetings!
Yes Galicia is particularly special, nice one
Good trekking. I'm sorry your sensor got dirty, but it doesn't matter, because the video is nice and relaxing. Greetings from Spain!
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching man.
Good old UK weather
Oh yes …
