    What an adventure, Sarah, thank you very much for this video. I was drawn to the subject because back in the day when I was 17, four of us made away from the Midlands down to south Wales and to youth hostel on the Gower. But that was back in 1968 which of course makes me 72 this year and the only way I can really enjoy the memories of such adventures is by watching videos such as yours. I am not sure why pannier bags are not in vogue nowadays. You can pack a lot of gear in them and stash some stuff on the top. Also it keeps the centre of gravity lowdown on the bike and it means you don’t need anything on your back. As for those horses, I bet it was like a three ring circus turning up in their backyard. They have never had such an entertaining night. Also I am warming to your ‘camera verite’ approach, which means that you don’t over polish the production and tell things as they are.

    Got to love Wales for bikepacking. Can’t wait until next month onwards when I can load the bike and go exploring without carrying every piece of kit I own to stay warm.
    I had a similar camp but with cows on Swyrehead in the purbecks. Went to sleep, got woke by something licking my tent. Turns out the field had over 100 cows in and then were licking my tent. I shit myself

    As ever your videos is very inspiring and entertaining.
    I have a tip on protraying an adventure story - on screen travel from left to right until you're at the end point before returning, from then film from right to left, reverse/flip the screen if you need to.

And saying "shoo" to the horses probably wasn't the best bet, they must have thought you were a farrier offering them a new set and that is obviously why they didn't leave you alone.

    And I filled my bottle at exactly the same bridge - thought I recognised it from somewhere when I was there!
