Suilven: Escape The City And Explore

  • 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 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.

    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.
