Suilven: Escape The City And Explore
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 вер 2019
- Adventurer Alastair Humphreys has form for taking Brompton bikes to remote places - we first came across him 8 years ago following his trip to Muckle Flugga in the Shetlands with a Brompton which inspired us with the possibilities the bike offered.
So when it came to testing out the new Explore Edition, we knew exactly who to pick up the phone to - did Alastair have any ideas for an adventure that could start in the city and show how you could get into the great outdoors with a Brompton for the weekend? Of course he did…
Bugging him since the first time he saw it, the summit of Suilven had been tempting him to the Scottish Highlands for a while. So with filmmaker Tem, they headed off and this film is the result.
Dear Alastair and Brompton I have returned to this video time and time again during lockdown, it’s honestly kept me sane thank you. I can’t wait to be able to cycle freely across counties and countries without having the worry!
This was absolutely beautiful, well done! Got to say though, even out there in such an isolated place, I couldn't just leave my Brompton behind without constantly worrying it'd be stolen.
Haha. Same thought to me. Beautiful landscape but worried to go home without Brompton. Lol
I laughed out loud, it's so true damn
I LOVE THIS VIDEO. I could do things like in this video. I USED to do things like in this video. I want to do them again. I am only 73, and the new heart valve is working fine... at the moment....
Stunningly well produced, guys. You really got to me. Thanks. (Wipes eyes).
Don't give up! Better to die with a gusto than linger on in pitiable misery, anxious at every move.
Take each part as it comes, as you can, then remember them all together.
Get out there, sir! You can still do something that excites you...
Lets do it. You can sir
Mee too, I want to around the world. Someday.
I’ve watched this SO many times. Completely inspired me to Brompton wild camp and start a channel. Amazing, thank you 🙏🏻
Me too😂😂
A masterpiece....and an inspiration...very well done!
Yes!! Please make more of these types of films! Love multimodal bicycle touring with the Bommies.
These videos are so well done. So beautiful , that they bring tears to my eyes . Thank-you .
Wow. The quality of this video is amazing. So beautiful and interesting. Thank you.
Fantastic film... great work!!!
So much to inspire here. We CAN still find adventure and peace. It is there for us if we dare to dream. It can also tread lightly with the right travel ethic. Beautiful story, told humbly!
Great stuff. Exhausting and relaxing at the same time
Amazing !!! Give us the inspiration for nature travelling !! Thank you
Sin duda el mejor video publicado por Brompton Bikes, realmente espectacular. Mis felicitaciones.
Really really enjoyed that, great job from an epic trip.
I love that poem.
An inspiring adventure on a Brompton and public transport.
What a fantastic video.
Touched my soul - deeply - to tears
Beautiful!!

Both of you are awesome 👏 👍🏻 👍🏻
Beautiful and inspiring! Thank you for creating it
Great color, great bike!👏🏻
What an amazing video. Loved watching it. X
Amazing video, fantastico adventure. This is very inspirational. Thanks for sharing!
Was anyone watching Brompton while you walked up mountain ?
I've seen images of Suilven before but your film has made me want to go there. It's amazing that you can fit a Brompton and an inflatable boat into your rucksack.
Captivating. That is the word I would use to describe this video. Like the last commentor, I am in my late 50's and used to love doing things like this. But alas, time catches up to all of us and now our dreams are realised by You Tube and memories......
Why? I’m in my sixties and recently did LeJog on my 3 speed Brompton, also Way of the Roses and other tours of the UK. You mustn’t let age get in the way!
Beautiful video 👌
Great, excellent! Took me away from the hospital during lunchtime.
Inspirational video
Nice promotion video of the boat. Great job !!

I've actually visited a Brompton dealer today, planning to purchase 2 bikes. The waiting list though is currently 1 year! 😳
Amazing video!!

Such a well put together film and superb cinematics throughout. Makes we want to make films, and ride a brompton!
Love it. Broke back mountain on Bromptons.
Really wonderful film. So many of us aspire to do a trip just like this, unless we already have. Nice!

We just need a Brompton that turns into an inflatable boat 😂
The clip is so professional from the music, screen to your voice. It is really calm and intrigued clip to keep watching until the end.
We really appreciate that 🙌 So much top quality work goes into these videos, thanks for noticing!

Buddies, beautiful scenery and Bromptons! Yes, an amazing trip indeed. Thanks for watching!
Amazing

Wow. Nice escape
awesome videography!
Genial !
Amazing what inspiration a bike can trigger.
Өте керемет видео 👍 екі жігіт жақсы достар екен 👍 өте тамаша 👍
beautiful video. and i would love to own the explorer one day
After watching this ad, I tell myself I want one of this.
Such a beautiful little video. Subbed.
Por eso tengo una Brompton, me encanta y a mucha gente le llama la atención
impresionante
greetings from Spain
Tremendo!
Being a New Yorker, I was more worried about the bikes left behind, than with them climbing a hilly mount.
Haha
I was thinking the same lol
😂
Wow!
Beautiful video and history!!!
I enjoyed this. A good idea, a micro-adventure, available on our doorstep, without jet travel. The most “dangerous” species to worry about up in the North West Highlands of Scotland are the midges - they can drive you mad.
Nice life cool live...!!
Outstanding work! I love how you avoided overtalking in this piece.
When I was a college student fifteen years ago, I took this train and slowly took it. Speed is inversely proportional to romance, sometimes we don’t need too fast high-speed rail
I've been up the Marsco which is somewhat Suilven-like
Currently listening to his audible book Biking around the 🌎
Been on Suliven many times & cut out the long hike in by using my MTB.The rough track in would be no place for a Brompton so smart move with the rafts.Today i collect my first Brompton so the next time i do Suliven :)
Great
Love the ideas this is putting into my head. Strip away all the "stuff" you don't need and travel light, really light. Wonderful. Thank you Brompton for the pictures in my head and the plans already forming ...
Pootling along I have decided on doing the same, started selling stuff I don’t need and want to ride my Brompton to more remote locations. This is inspiring.
Classy
Wish I was there;)
Anyone else feel at 1:00 they're riding too close to the edge of the carriageway? They're in a shared bus & cycle lane and there isn't enough space for a bus to pass them safely within the lane. By riding that far to the left, it could encourage someone to try. Personally, I'd position myself a good 1-1½ metres further right.
Are you ever going to make Explore Editions again? Love to have one
Great video, and a nice trip!
Can you please post details of the inflatable boats you used?

Should've carried the sage Bromptons up
and _ridden_ them down.
Just incredible, very inspiring adventure, I was quite surprised when the got the blowup kayaks, and paddled away, did not see that coming, or where the kayaks there before? do they make paddles that pack away that small?
They do! Look up Packraft 👍🏻
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤩🤩🤩🤩
Nice Poem
It's beautiful , sublime were the concluding lines from a poem?;can anyone tell me which one? Uday Balakrishnan
Which Train / Bus do you take (Inverness-Ullapool ? or ... and then ... to start the cycling/walking...) to do this beautiful trip ? It is incredible, I try to climb Suilven more than Thrirty years ago and I can't because an insect go in my ear and I come back to Lochinver to extract it from my ear... Your film is inspire me a lot. Thanks.
Wow, I just love those red kayaks you have where did you get those from?? I just love them
very nice video so beautifully shot. May I know what bag you use to carry ur cameras during cycling? I was afraid the minor vibrations will spoil the camera eventually
Who worked the drone & other cameras?
