Be More Outdoors
Приєднався 25 січ 2015
I grew up in Mauritius and moved to the UK a couple of decades ago.
As a child and adolescent, I competed as a swimmer and runner. As an undergrad, my aunt and uncle bought me a new bicycle to get around and I (re)discovered the freedom and exhilaration it brought.
But, while I have always spent considerable time outdoors, I recently realised that I wanted more… I want to connect with nature and, in so doing, define myself and my place in the world.
So join me on my journey to build a relationship with nature, stumbling my way through new skills, failing and, hopefully, picking myself up again.

Flashback Friday. Been doing a little housekeeping and came across this video of when I cycled the North Coast 500 in July 2023.

Taking the opportunity of visiting Swanage to walk along the local section of the South West Coast Path (SWCP). Footage along this walk was meant as a training 'exercise' but it was such a lovely walk that I thought I'd share it with you. I used the Amado Brave 7 camera set to 4K|25fps but be trying to reducing the resolution to increase the fps next time. Credit Music from #Uppbeat (free for C...

Walking along the Kennet and Avon (K&A) Canal from Bradford-on-Avon to Bath on a freezing morning. This video is an introduction to this stretch of the K&A Canal. It has plenty of interesting sights with its aqueducts, bridges, wharfs and locks to list but a few. I used the Akaso Brave 7 camera.

Awesome first upload.
@@workingtravelingover50 Thank you. Hopefully improve with each video 🤞🏾
Relaxing place for a walk.
@@workingtravelingover50 it is and accessible from Bath city centre too.
🎉🎉
Very good. The background music very much appropriate. Keep it up.
@@HJ-dq2ej Thank you ☺️
Well done.
@@ambaljeanne602 Thank you very much.
Great solo hike with beautiful sceneries ❤
@@khanbabatraveller Thank you
Your video was good. But why don't you optimize your video SEO? It increases your views and subscribers. If you are interested I give you some suggestions for increasing your views and subscribers.
Good going old mate. Yeah, I agree it doesn't have to always be the views - I love a good mist-filled mountain. The cave served its purpose - kept secret of course back in the day. Well, have a great weekend ahead. Just subscribed on account of the fantastic vibes. All the best. Mark
@@WyeExplorer Thank you for watching and subscribing. Sometimes ‘bad’ weather is subjective and can be really beautiful.
@@BeMoreOutdoors Alright there - a pleasure. I totally agree with the great bad weather. Peace.
Very nice. Eerie and calm.
Great!!! Very pleased with the video. Very courageous
@@RajenChellandee thank you ☺️
Good have improved your video.
@@ambaljeanne602 Glad you think so.
Beautiful hike my friend! Area looks so atmospheric 👏👏
Brecon Beacons didn’t disappoint! Thank you for watching.
Very good video. Your production skills are coming on a treat.❤❤❤
@@stephenwilliams8728 Thank you. Been practicing 🙂.
Great.❤❤❤
@@HJ-dq2ej thank you
Great ride and lovely video. It brought back a lot of memories 😊
Thank you.
Just watched your UA-cam. A much better video. Right choice of music. Vary a little bit though. Ambient sound recording could be done when recording the water flows. Probably not the winds 😌. Your bicycle looks cool. Aerial recording is indeed professional 👌 👏. Views are stunning as are the scallops!! 254 km in 2 days 🤠. Lloyd is untalkingly the great architect behind the video. Congratulations 🎊 👏

It's good to see you enjoying Scottish weather! I recognise the cows at 9:27. I live in Durness and wondered if you'd ever been here when I saw your Ullapool video. In your South Cotswold one you went through Nailsworth where my brother lives. Sometimes I wonder about the algorithm.
@@grahamjones25 The weather just makes it all interesting… if sometimes only really appreciated once home and dry 😜. Algorithm or small world?… or perhaps both.
It's much better than the last one, but less explanation .❤
Lovely ride. I'd love to do it on my electric bike. Perhaps for my 75th birthday!
@@stephenwilliams8728 Let’s do it!
Thanks for sharing this. It looks like a lovely route, I will have to try it one day. Like you, I came to the conclusion after many years of cycle touring that I was carrying far too much stuff, that I just didn't need. Now I have made a conscious decision to travel as light as possible and, even on multi-day rides, if I can't get everything in one pannier, it doesn't go. Mind you, I don't camp but use B&B's - I like a hot shower and a comfy bed after a days cycling! Looking forward to more rides.
@@rickgordongordonellissteel3761 Camping on a day and warm night is great… not so much when it’s raining or cold. I definitely I like a mix of camping and hotel/b&b - I do this for fun after all! I like your one pannier rule! What has surprised me is how little stuff I can get by with (if only for a few days) but also makes me appreciate the little extra stuff at home that makes life easy/comfortable… like a kettle!
Lovely video, great scenery and very well documented.
@@johncieslik9416 New to making videos so your comments means a lot. Thank you. And thank you for watching.
Thanks for highlighting the Cotswolds. Lots of undiscovered places to explore
I should take my bike on a train
@@nevertoopoortotour.3033 Especially practical when cycling a linear route. I do this quite often. Removes the need to arrange for a lift/taxi. You might find a video I’ll be releasing in the coming few months interesting - I cycle one way and take the train the other way to different coastal towns. Happy cycling and thanks for watching.
Looks a fantastic ride through parts of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire that I'm not totally familiar with. Good video editing and nice choice of music.❤❤❤
@@stephenwilliams8728 Thank you for watching 🙂
I am glad it was not like that when i cycled from Ullapool to Garve in July.
Haha. Apparently we missed some splendid weather by a week! Hope you had a wonderful cycle.
I'm fairly certain I recognised you both from your short stay at the ullapool campsite, it was unfortunate it was about the worst summer weather I have experienced in the many years we have holidayed at Ullapool. Take care and best wishes on your future travels.
Thank you. If we looked windswept and tired then yes that would be us 😂. Now that we are safe, warm and dry (with a story to tell 😊), we look back in awe at the Highlands flexing its muscles… and with fondness at people we met along the way. Hope you had a more sheltered stay in Ullapool. Come say hi next time.
I did a similar cycle a few weeks ago, but I was luckier with the weather. Tore to Ullapool on one of the warmest calmest sunniest days of the year, though I did not like the busy A835. I stopped at Tarvies too. Then over to Harris and a rented cottage for a week with friends (and more cycling). Returning to Ullapool I cycled to Durness in one go, with a massive tailwind. Around Kylesku the gusts were scary and from random directions and I pushed some places, but overall a big help. Unfortunately for my friends who stayed a day later than me, their ferry was cancelled and they got stuck on Harris.
Glad you had a good cycle! The A385 is not the highlight of the route but the highlands more than make up for it… even when it might feel at times it’s trying to kill you 😜. Hope your friends managed to enjoyed their forced extended stay without too much onward planning disruption.
Nice! Keep it up👍
