Really inspiring thank you - I must do more of this. Loving the quote at 5:02 , the risks and perils of dorm sleeping! As someone with a snorey wife, I always travel with a few foam earplugs just in case.
It looks absolutely stunning and managing 10,000 ft of climbing a day is very impressive, I’m sure this trip is one that will live long in your memory, it almost seems to have a spiritual element. You are riding alone making your own decisions but there is still that camaraderie, respect and comradeship that seems to bind like minded souls across all nationalities and ages. It’s great to see.
For many people that camaraderie was a huge part of the ride Stephen. As I say in the podcast, I'm not sure I ended up mentally in quite the same place, simply because I was making these videos and, consequently, felt a little like a detached observer. It's a hazard of my lifestyle I guess...
Simon, this is awe-inspiring footage and, if I may, quite emotional such is the rugged beauty of some of the land and mountain scapes. I've had my eye on this challenge for a while and seeing you do it at your own pace has made me start thinking more seriously about it. Can't wait for the final episode and thank you for sharing.
Probably the best 'thing' you've ever put up on the channel and, definatly, was worth taking the tougher route - the scenery is absolutely jaw dropping.
This is the most beautiful series of films Simon, really lovely - not just beautifully filmed and edited but your passion for the scenery is coming across. I'm sure I heard your voice quaver a bit when you were describing how beautiful it was!
Well done for taking your time . Thats the benefit of experience right there.And thankyou for making such great content. It can't have been easy filming and riding a route like this.
Hi Simon - just come down death road and it is no longer passable after 2 very recent rock falls that have taken out nearly 100 mtrs of road and there is little warning at the top in Elva - you may want to update your videos to highlight this - it very dangerous now
Video about this and more coming on 16th. Written details already online and linked from the resources page of the website Alwaysanotheradventure.com/resources. Look for the post about kit list.
It seems this ‘Death Road’ is no longer passable with large sections missing but no sign at the top. Not to be used.
That sunset was absolutely stunning. I think I'll the TNR to my bucket list - what an amazing landscape.
The next vid has a nice sunset too. Amazing high places.
So much planning, work, effort, pain, enjoyment and filming put into this event, and we very much appreciate it. Excellent stuff 💪🤝
Absolutely incredible. You have inspired me. This is now on my must do list. Thanks you.
Looks a stunning section 😍 Don’t you just love that Dorm snorer - there’s always one 😉

Oh I had several sets and a sleeping pill. This was like a chainsaw!
What an adventure you've had, Simon...

Thanks Simon, and I admit, I get a little choked-up in the next episode when I have to leave those amazing high places.
Wow massive respect this is tough you’ve done brilliantly 👍🏅🤩🚴 chapeau
Many thanks Pete!
Really wonderful Si. Magnificent!
Absolutely fantastic. I really fancy this next year.
You should Andy!
Simon, really loving the fact I can relieve the experience with your videos. Thanks for taking the time and effort to capture! Andy
Great to hear from you Andy - that was a fun trip. Hope you finished on time. Next year? After all, it's a tradition now...

There’s a big quaver on Sunday when I have to leave those high places too. Quite emotional I was.
Looks stunning 😍 worth the months of planning and sweat to get there
As ever, an excellent video Simon. Your videos persuaded me to buy a Sonder Camino - it arrived last week. 🙂
I Hope you’ll be as happy with yours as I am with mine.

Glad you like the videos Rick. You’re right about the challenge too!
These moments keep you alive 👌
Looks like a beautiful adventure! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing content, thank you so much and congratulations on this great TNR!
I'm on bates hooks for the next installment 😁
And the 4th is best 😁. See you Sunday.
Chapeau 💪💯👋👋👋👋

Great. What's your gearing? Cassette/chainring? And tires? Thanks!

I always carry ear plugs in my camping hygiene kit as I have already spent too many sleepless nights in refuges and outdoors.
I had two different types of ear plugs, eye mask and sleeping pills. That guy's chainsaw cut right through!
@@alwaysanotheradventure In those extreme cases, an ear plug up his nostril might be the last resource. Ultimately, it's for the common good.
