    Beautifully edited. Man, the amount of work that goes into the shots you framed of yourself, then walking/riding back to get the camera, etc. is impressive. Great storytelling.

      Thanks! Yeah, takes a bit of time to get all the shots, but it's now part of the joy of bikepacking for me. Cheers.

    Nice ride, brings back memories of the touring I did years ago. The heart says go but the body says no. Francis Birtles rode a lot of pioneering rides out in the centre, I think he was mostly covering ground on a compass bearing though back when he rode it.

    Mick Sir
    I learned a lot today after watching this film like I learned in the past when I watched your ANNAPURNA: NOT AS PLANNED FILM.
    I respect your efforts 🙌🏻 a lot, the amount of time it takes to just put your camera on a angle you are coming from and also again for the other direction shot is so respectful + how can I forget about the cycling part 👏🏻🙌🏻 riding and getting tiredness and then finding time for cooking and camping and shooting too for all of us and of course It's first for your memories.
    The narration part and the morning and night scenes are so good and then cherry on this never forgiving memorable cake is your editing skills.
    I am so glad that I found your Annapurna post on Instagram and because of that I found a teacher 🤝🏻🙏🏻🤗
    Keep shining 🌟 sir

    • @coachashishlathar
      @coachashishlathar 7 місяців тому

      Also, after learning from your work (from the Annapurna film) I made 2 films which are my best work so far and also they are like during a very physically demanding activity, one is during 200km cycling on a route where you will gain 2000m of elevation and 1 is where you need to walk for 18km and here elevation gain will be 1000m.
      I just want to say thank you to you, your work helped me a lot and I am keep learning from you and you too keep shining sir

    I loved this Mick. An amazing adventure captured beautifully. That red dirt, those red skies, incredible 🙂
    I’ve just got back from a 3 week gravity type riding trip in Canada. (Chairlifts and shuttles etc) After I booked it I was worried I was wasting money and annual leave doing something that was probably more my thing 10 years ago. I had a great time but your film has just confirmed my thoughts that maybe I just missed an opportunity to do an epic bikepacking trip instead. While I might not have the leave to do anything big this year, this has just inspired me to start planning something more meaningful. You’ve got me all excited.
