Great vid Saffy , must do that one on the triumph scrambler , looks great xx
I'll add it to the list 😃
“No plan ever survives first contact with enemy” the problem here is the enemy is the Welsh roads 🤣😃🍻
Great video, be careful on them slippery roads x
I don’t wait around, I go right to the front, and see for myself. I usually wiggle myself through. There was an accident (a biker 🥲), and the car drivers were telling me to turn around. Na, crack on x
I admire your adventurous attitude. Many would stay at home. Brilliant x
Love the self assurance and optimism when things aren't going well, great video Saffron the Shrek hood is so cute you need a helmet cover to match 😂🤣😂
Good evening saffy just like old times watching you and rocket finding alternative routes ❤❤
Well Saffy nothing holds you down !!
No way. You literaly drove past my house when you did the detour. You were so close too. If you'd have turned right at the junction at around 9:50 in the video you would have got there. Better luck next time. It is worth the effort. 🙏
I think of the Led Zeppelin tune Black Mountain side.. Robert Plant fancied himself a reincarnated Welsh prince. Not sure if you felt like a Welsh Princess on this ride but you powered thru like a Queen! Great Video!
You need to learn marketing: That was a valuable mission in route evaluation for a summer expedition. Thankfully a stuck truck inspired an investigation in alternative routes that will benefit any investments into the real tour to the mountain top. All things considered, the project was a great success! 🤗 Without this win then next win would not make the whole a win-win! 🥳😃
You may call that make up in denial or putting lipstick on a pig, but that's what marketing is!
With your experience it's more like a hill pass than a mountain pass. I remember back in 1981 when I visited Scotland with my mother. We got out of the car and walked up one of the hills between Glenfarclas Distillery and Kyle of Lochalsh. We were amazed how all the people in mountaineering gear stared at us. Back then we needed to take a ferry to Isle of Sky. They surely had white sheep there - a lot of them. B&B all the way!
Nice video, looks like you enjoyed the trip. X
Hi Sa another nice tour video.
I was up the Black Mountain this afternoon on the bike, there were many patches of loose gravel between the mountain and Llangadog, on quite a few of the corners as well. The roads here in Wales leave a lot to be desired fair play.
Great video Saffy :) And what was it you called sheep in the past "Little Fluffy Crash Bandits!" or something like that! LOL
Great determination. Can't believe your luck with the road being closed at the time you visited. And you got so close and just missed a right turn. Not sure if you saw the view of Carreg Cennen Castle on your left where you nearly stopped.
Saffy lass well done ,it's not adventure unless your lost ye ❤
Wales is no place to be in the winter months, believe me, I live here. The Black Mountain pass is good, but there are so many roads just as good in the South Wales area. Next time, stop at the owl's nest cafe in Llandovery as there will be plenty of bikers to advise you. Hope to see you here again in the better months of the year.
I live in brynamman, wish I knew you were coming (you past my house) could have shown you another route up which was quicker, they had the road closed for about 3 weeks.
Enjoying the videos, wales is not for the feint hearted if your a biker 😂
Safrooon! Cute hoodie!😂
hi saffy i am really enjoying your black mountain / brynamman bike ride as you have rode right through my village of gwaun cae gurwen keep up your motorbike rides on youtube they are enjoyable to watch
Another GCG resident...hi
I ride the black ducati monster 821 if you see me about 😊
@@markburkinshaw7895 hi mark yes i will keep a lookout for you riding your motorbike up to the black mountain the road is open again now , i take my rally car for a run over the mountain so i must have seen you passing at some point ,
@byroncozens3151 yes popped up the other day, I've got a red capri aswell You may see around, what rally car you driving?
@@markburkinshaw7895 i have a ice metallic blue honda concerto rally car you cant miss my car as there s not another car like mine about if you see my car say hi
Next time you come to Wales, I volunteer my service as a tour guide. I will even ride pillion with you. (Hehe) 👍🏴
that's in Ammanford and that road that says residents only I just had seats redone on that road , I was confused there to thinking well I have tp park tough hahaha
Such a shame, you were literally 3 miles from the climb, easy for me to say as it's one of my regular and favourite rides across the scenic Brecon Beacons and Cambrian Mountains, really frustrating to watch, bit of advice my dear for your next attempt, take the Llandovery route... Added Edit: Have you ever heard of April showers, come back mid May to September,... First Impressions Last A Lifetime.
Saffy: please get your sv650 a front fender extension. That water hitting the front cylinder will cause the spark plug to stop working. Just fyi.
If you’d only turned right at the end 🤦🏻♂️ I normally get a bit of air on that bridge 😂😂
LOOKS CHILLY OUT I LOVE BEING IN TRAFFIC IN THE COLD ILL GET REALL CLOSE TO THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND THE PUFFY WHITE SMOKE/STEAM PUMPING FROM THE TAILPIPE POURS ALL OVER ME AND ITS SO WARM AND COZY FEELS AMAZING WHEN ITS COLD OUT AND WARMS YOU UP A LITTLE BEFORE LEAVING THE TRAFFIC LIGHT
Beforehand: I am expecting a final decision on where the hell those Brecon Beacons really are. You best plant a Saffy flag there.
Defeat, never. It's called a tactical retreat, till next time. 👍
Hi what sat nav app do you use
It’s Bryn - am - man It’s easier to say like this , old coal mining area like the majority of wales 🏴 it’s a fantastic area if you get to it ,when we ride we use all the roads like these better than dual carriage ways ,better luck next time
How long ago was this? No leaves on trees etc
Welsh Government have renamed it Banana Brickworks or something similar
👋👋❤️🌹🤠
Wouldve been nicer up there this week.
You can't dye black wool..hence more white sheep
What happened to the green bike , did you just leave it in Norway ?
It's still in Norway!
Do you miss your CBX
I'm not surprised. You're not a natural rider 😅
It's a wonder you manage to stay upright when you ride so slow !
Yes I went there and it was closed took the long single road around it the road from he'll. I'm not going back. It's overated
You are a glutton for punishment, i wonder at times if you are a masochist? An alternative to camping when the weather is really bad is Youth Hostels, they are really good, cheap and the food pretty decent. I stayed at Hartington Hall in Derbyshire a few weeks ago, 2 night's including breakfast, as much as you can eat £58. There is a good network around the UK and in Europe, I have used them since the late 70's, perhaps you should give them a try out? beats being cold.
What happened to your Honda CB500X, did you leave it in Norway? and if that's the case, when are you going to retrieve it?
Wales is such a grotty dump. Hate the place.
Your not on your own been there .bloody nightmare. But it worked out in the end.and uou will end up smiling beautiful ❤
