Solo Motorcycle Camping in Snowdonia Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2021
- Motorcycle camping and a Triumph Bonneville go together like rhubarb and custard. I headed out for the north west coast of Wales for my first night, then planned to head inland towards Mount Snowden for my second day's ride.

I wouldn't ask nothing else other than motocamping !!🤙👍
It's the best way to spend a few days!
@@ClassicRides you're damn right
Another Masterpiece Matt, hope your feeling better.
Glad you liked it David! Think I’m over the worst of it now 🤞
Another class video 👏🏻 Looking forward to seeing part 2 👍🏻
Thanks dude!
Well done! Very inspiring
Thanks, your videos are extremely well made - production goals 🙌
Awesome series, true biking in its essence, well done!! 👍👍
Thanks Nelio, hopefully I’ll get few more trips done this coming summer.
Helo! From México , I like your vídeo keep riding!
Hi Josh, glad you liked the video dude!
Wow! How have I not found your channel sooner! Absolutely stunning videography and what an incredible place Snowdonia is, I never tire of seeing these landscapes. Looking forward to diving in to the rest of your videos 👍🏻
Thanks very much, North Wales is always a great place to ride. Hope you enjoy the other videos 🙂
Lovely and serene, fabulous videography, very impressed with that little tent BTW
Glad you liked the video Peter, I was impressed with the tent too, nice and easy to put up which is just what you want at the end of a day's riding.
Great video, superbly edited and love the music!
Thank you 🙏, so glad you enjoyed the video!
I have a backrest and rear rack on my T120 might be easier with your luggage, but loving your videos they put me in a happy place
Glad you like the videos Jack! 👊
The ounly thing that a man need! A Triumph and a book (Júpiter travel , Ted Simón)
I agree, it’s an inspiring book!
Like so many of the other comments these videos really are good. Without a word spoken you seemed to have encapsulated with the scenery and music what riding is about. Greetings from Queensland Australia and thank you.
Hi John, so glad you enjoyed the video. I’m trying to make the videos accessible no matter what language you speak, but I think the lack of talking also helps draw you in a bit too, so it’s a win-win I think 😊
great editing mate - really enjoyed it. Looks like a pretty good trip too - even the weather behaved!
Glad you enjoyed it, the weather was almost perfect, being Wales I did get a little wet on one morning, but only a sprinkling which is pretty amazing I’d say.
Great video ,love travelling around my home roads.
You’ve got some great roads Terry!
Cool video. So refreshing and calm... Love that bike 👍
Thanks Gus, I love that bike too! 😁
It's amazing Man, love the travel
Thanks Bruno, it’s all about getting out there and exploring the land. No better way to do it than on a motorcycle.
Beautiful vid thanks
So glad you like it Graham.
So well shot and edited, love the great feeling and mood in this. You have inspired me to use a few more interesting camera angles in my next video so thank you, every box ticked for me. Motorbike, camping, BBQ and beer which means you have a new sub from me. ride safe and keep it shine side up matey.
Glad you liked the video and happy to have inspired you to use a few different camera angles, I’ll keep an eye out for your next video!
You have a very good sense of cinematographic rythm telling a visual story. The essencial is very well built and nicely joined toghether. Very nice the result of your sensitivity.
Thanks Fernando, really glad you enjoyed the video.
I loved the fact that you have multiple cameras including GoPro and perhaps your iPhone too and yet you've kept the exposure and video quality consistent throughout the entire length of the video. It seems that the entire video has been shot with the same camera and same settings. Incredible.
It’s all in the edit 😁
Love this.. inspired me to try it on my
motorcycle
Glad to hear it! 🙌
This is one of your best videos ever❤❤
Thanks Ibrahim 🙏
@@ClassicRides I am looking forward to meet you one day. I may come to the UK for a job and if it does happen, we'll go for a ride.
I'm heading to Snowdonia next month, I hope I get the same sort of weather you enjoyed. Off to watch part 2.
I hope the weather Gods are kind to you, I think you'll enjoy Snowdonia either way though.
A gentleman with a motorcycle and an idea weekend solo getaway - this must be it !
Superb work all around and Kudos !
* ideal
Thanks Nareen. It’s good to get some time to yourself sometimes.
Beautiful work!
Thanks Diego!
Lovely video really peaceful
Great bike and location
Brill job
Thanks 🙏, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Awesome...:)
Thanks 👊
Very nicely done. Especially like the aluminum foil stove.... and the Decathlon tent.
Thanks Charles. The tent is great, highly recommend one for moto camping.
Wow! Always beautiful short movie. So, your artistic sense is truly awesome! I love this channel! Thanks from Japan. 素晴らしい。
Thanks Atsuki, I always appreciate you taking the time to leave a nice comment, glad you're enjoying the videos :)
great trip look forward to part 2
Thanks Stanley, part 2 should be up within a week once I get a free day to edit it together.
Beautiful ride.
Thanks dude 🙏
I live within the Snowdonia National Park around 8 miles north of Barmouth that I recognise from your footage! Fabulous roads and countryside that you showcase so very well in your video. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks Mark. You're lucky to have such amazing roads on your doorstep!
Great roads for the T120.
Another excellent video!
Thanks Antonio.
Hi classic bike , it amazing country side and amazing views and so peace full
Glad you liked it Paul.
Just subbed - Love the ride and the energy, brother. Keep on keeping on. Best to you.
Thanks for the sub dude! 👊
Great reading, Ted Simon, all those years ago amazing achievement.
Top vid🏍
It’s an inspiring book for sure.
Great feel good videos. Quality editing well done.
Thanks Peter, glad you liked them!
Maravilloso video al igual que la moto, saludos desde Argentina
Thanks Julian, so glad you enjoyed the video.
Love North Wales perfect for Hinckley Triumphs
For any Triumph 🙂, some of the best roads in the UK I'd say.
I pressed thumbs up even before press play
Haha, thank you so much 🙏
Nice work! Good taste for it!
Thank you Tony.
This is beautiful. Love from India
Thanks brother!
Reminded me of a Japanese guy’s videos I used to watch where he’d do pretty much the exact same thing on his little Honda Grom. No words needed. Very chill. Thumbs up.
I think it’s quite a popular way of doing ‘vlogs’ in East Asia which I really like. There’s no language barrier to anyone against enjoying the video and I also love the anime influenced style of storytelling. Plus I don’t ride my bike fast so it’s a style that I like and I think suits my kind of riding. Glad you liked it! 🙌
@@ClassicRides I liked it a lot.
Awasome video, man! Great bike!
Thanks!
Excellent quality filming..tasteful music..really enjoyed this . Subscribed n hit the bell now.
Thanks JG, glad you're enjoying the videos!
Great ride, fella! Hey from Pembrokeshire!
Hey Phil, glad you enjoyed it dude.
Que guay está el video como me relaja y tu moto una maravilla que ordenado y bien lo llevas todo un saludo amigo desde Málaga España 😊
Thank you, glad you liked the video 🙂
I welcome you from Russia! I really liked your video format 👍 beautiful places, good music, very nice to watch.
Hi from England! Really glad you like the videos!
Amazing video
Thank you 🙏
Very good!
Thanks 🙏
Great vid... fantastic scenery.
Your name suggests you’re a lucky rider!
Classic Rides I am lucky that I live within reach of some lovely roads.
very beautiful scenery...the video shooting is also good👍
I like this channel! Thanks from indonesian
Thanks 🙏So glad you’re enjoying the channel!
Brilliant, haven't been on a man trip this year so itching to go. Your video really gets the heart pumping to get out on the road and set the tent up. By the way, the fire frame at the beginning would you mind telling me what is called and where i can get one, looks like the final piece in my night out jigsaw. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Michael, glad you’re feeling inspired to get out there yourself. The fire pit is just an unbranded thing from Amazon, if you search for “fire pit” I’m sure they’ll come up, should be about £20.
I love your horse ✌
thanks!
Mate I’ve just subscribed to you’re channel.. right up my street this 👌
Glad you like it dude. 👊
Wowwww really well filmed, just the landscape I dream of seing when I get my motorcycle license by hopefully october this year🥳 I also wanna go camping by bike. I already have the camping gear. Now I need the bike and packs for on the bike. You really went glamping there😜 lovveeeee the bike btw ❤️ so jealous👉🏻👈🏻
You’ll love it when you get your licence, there’s a real sense of freedom when it’s just you & your bike.
Just found your channel and subscribed . Epic shots well done! I also post motorcycle content . I am in Canada I am hoping to post a motto camping video soon as well.love some of the cool shots you got of the bike riding by so well done .I truly enjoyed this .
Great video. Where you stopped on the bridge, just after look left and you’ll see the Welsh Matterhorn - Cnicht.
I didn’t know that! Snowdonia is such an amazing landscape.
it always amazed me how muc stuff is it when one goes camping. i have the same. the other amazing thing is - one day of camping or 3 months of camping - it's the same size of package lol. cannot wait for camping weekends (and longer!). my buddies are already scheming something upstate New York. soooooon... AND .. lol... had to edit the text for this addition. had to google 'rhubarb and custard' :))))))
I expect you have some badly pronounced wrong word for rhubarb? 😁
Can’t wait for it to get a little warmer for camping too, hoping the weather gods are kind this year. ☀️
@@ClassicRides you have to bribe weather gods with rrrhbububabbbah and custard and we'll get it
Great video. Great bike, great scenery, great editing. You have inspired me to get on my T120 and visit there too 😁. Keep ‘em coming, BIG LIKE 👍 from me.
Thanks Batman. I appreciate your hard work in keeping our streets free of crimms .
Btw, if you do get there, the B5105 from Ruthin to Cerrigydrudion is absolutely sublime and relatively free of traffic.
@@ClassicRides thanks 😁👍
@@ClassicRides noted, thanks for that. Looking at the weather now for a good day to visit 👍
@@BATMAN777888 sure is, back to business as usual after today.
Hehe, did the same some weeks ago on my T120 (maybe the same long weekend?) Beacons and Snowdonia. Elan Valley road between them was my highlight.
I didn’t go as far down as the Beacons, it’s on my list though :)
Great video, please keep them coming. Nice setup too!
I just wanted to know how you get away with having black plates on the bike? I prefer the classic plates and the overall look they have with the style of a bonne. Just curious.
Thanks Finlay. I've not had any bother from the police about the plates...so far. But my feeling is that as long as I don't take the mick, they won't pull me for it. Unless I just happen to catch a bobby on a bad day; also I always carry a proper plate in my pannier so if I do get pulled, I can swap it over straight away.
Very nicely done. New sub here from Cheshire 👍🏻
Thanks Wez, I appreciate the sub!
Hello from Mankato Minnesota USA. Wonderful job on the videos. I know they must take a lot of time to put together. If you don’t mind sharing, what jacket are you wearing in this. Looks very comfortable and nice.
Glad you enjoyed the video. The jacket is a Belstaff Tourmaster Pro, it’s a really great ‘do everything’ kind of jacket, I’d recommend one to anyone.
Brilliant video and the music just perfect for the video. I really like your tent what make is it?
Thanks Nigel, it’s a Two Second Tent from Decathlon. It’s fantastic for moto camping, it’s easy to put up and has a black-out interior which is really great. Highly recommend it.
Brilliant but you need to do a ride and camp in Pembrokeshire, West Wales, you will not regret it!
Thanks Richard, I may just do that!
Very nice..
Thank you my friend 😊
@@ClassicRides 🙏🙏🙏
Outstanding videography and inspirational..... Also reading the same book.... . Need to get away and do the same.
So glad you enjoyed the video, it’s a great book to get inspired for a trip, even if it’s only a couple of nights camping.
My new favourite channel. Thanks for your uploads, very well done. I like your taste in spec too, both on and off the bike. Please may I ask what is the tent please ?
I’d love to go touring on my T100, still getting used to riding though, so sticking inside Manchester for now 👍🏻
Best wishes
Thanks, glad you’re enjoying the channel. The tent is a Two Second Tent from Decathlon.
@@ClassicRides thanks a lot. Look forward to your next Uploads.
That campsite looked almost as good as the bike :-)
It’s a nice site during weekdays, gets a bit too crowded at weekends though.
Excellent video! Thanks for listing your gear but what model tent is that? It’s brilliant!
Thanks Darrell, glad you liked it. The tent’s great, a little bulky on the bike but so easy to put up and take down it’s worth it. It’s the Two Second Tent from Decathlon.
Nice video. Nothing better than the freedom of a motorcycle. What make was the stand you had your barbecue on? Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Paul, it's just a £20 raised fire pit from Amazon, doesn't really have a brand but they're easy to find online. Honestly one of the best £20's I've ever spent, it's handy little thing and it packs away small.
Another awesome video. Question, how / where do you store your pop up tent and, are you happy with it? I'm thinking the tents hoop type structure.
Thanks..👍🏍️🏍️
Hi Steve, I think the tent’s great. It’s not so small to pack down, but it fits inside a 30ltr Givi waterproof duffle bag, then that just sits on the back of my seat. The trade off of size is that it’s super easy to put up and take down, for me the last thing I want to do if I’ve just ridden a few hundred miles is to mess about with poles and sheets flying off in the wind. And it’s a black-out tent too, so you can actually get a decent nights sleep without feeling you’re being beamed up to the mothership in the morning.
Jupiter's travels, now if that doesn't give you inspiration I don't know what will.
It certainly inspired me!
congratulations for the channel, your camping videos are amazing, you won a subscriber from Brazil, hug from Fabrício Thix from Rota Alternativa BR channel
Thanks for the sub, glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Beau voyage bucolique, envie de partir moi aussi a travers les routes provençales...Continu, tu fais rêver...
Merci beaucoup!

Jupiter rocks. Looked around your videos and the comments here and did not see anything about the tires on your T120. I noticed that the rear tire looks to be a bit of an ADV tire, maybe 70/30 on/off. What make and size tires are you running? Thanks! Great Video!
Hey Kim, glad you liked the video. The tyres are a very light ADV style, I got them mainly because they’re excellent in the wet; and it rains a lot where I live 😁.
Details are: Pirelli MT60RS
Front: 110/80 18
Rear: 160/60 17
Hi there.. you for yourself a new subscriber here.. I'm inspired by your channel and planning on something very similar.
And I really like the tent you're using, may I ask where you got it from? Thanks!!
Thanks for the sub! The tent is a Two Second Tent by Decathlon 👌🏻
Este tipo ha comprendido el verdadero sentido de la vida...
Thanks 🙏
What tent is that? If you don't mind me asking. Brilliant video watched it few times now.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video. The tent is a Two Second Tent from Decathlon, it doesn’t pack down the smallest but it’s so easy to put up at end of a long day riding, I think it’s brilliant for moto camping.
Great vid 👍🇦🇺
What brand of tyre's may I ask are they, look tough
Thanks, they're Pirelli MT60RS. They're really good although the rear tyre is disappearing fast!
Lush !! ❤
Thanks 🙏
Great video. Can I ask what type tent is it, quick to pitch ?
Thanks, it’s a Two Second Tent from Decathlon. Honesty it’s the easiest tent I’ve ever owned to put up, just roll it out, pull a cord on either end and the tent is up. Perfect for the end of a day’s riding when you really can’t be bothered with the effort of putting up a normal tent.
Love this video! What model Belstaff jacket are you wearing? I really like the way you can adjust the waist with those straps? And, is it black? I can't tell from the video...
Hi Paul, glad you liked the video. The jacket is a Belstaff Tourmaster Pro. It’s the midlength option Belstaff do so instead of a belt all the way around, you get adjusters on the sides (which I much prefer). It’s the same on the McGee and the Crosby jackets too. And yes, my jacket’s black, but it comes in olive too.
@@ClassicRides Thanks!
which Kriega saddlebags are these?
and what tent was that?
otherwise, lovely video
Thanks Uday. The bags are Kriega Duo 36's and the tent is a Quechua 2 Seconds Easy tent from Decathlon.
Que guapo, me encanta tu bolsa para llevar la tienda de campaña, puedes decirnos cual es?
Buena ruta
It’s a Givi duffle bag 👍
Great video. Live the foldable stove/fire pit. What is it called?
Thanks Jonathan, I don’t know the name of the fire pit, it’s just a generic one you can find on Amazon. They’re about £20 but well worth it I think.
