    Lavi, don't be so harsh on yourself. You are riding on extreme terrain, on a bike not ideally suited to it, with very limited riding experience. By the end of the adventure, you will both have honed your off road skills to a high standard.
    Beautiful part of the world. I must get back to Wales next year.

    So, about 35 years ago when that railway was called the Welsh Highland railway, I went as a young leader with a bunch of Cub Scouts from Northamptonshire and spent a week there. They'd just got acces to a new section of the old line and we helped with clearing up the line, removing the overgrowth etc.
    Very glad to see it's still there and running.

    It's always nice to wake up to the sun after a period of rain, especially on a bike trip! I can relate to the soggy feeling as I go absolutely soaked riding at work yesterday and today will be exactly the same. If I go into a Lidl in the UK I'm going to think of you guys! 🤣
    That's so cool that you timed it to see the train. That V-Strom rider must be a Mad Dog! 😂
    That trail looked so nice and relaxing... until it wasn't! I'm not a fan of that technical stuff, well done on getting through that! You wouldn't have gotten up that so lucky you were going in that direction.
    The reward was a pleasant picnic spot and the views afterwards.
    What a lovely part of the UK. A stunning area! Another great video guys. Loved it!

    You should both be proud of yourselves because so far, this whole trail has been tough.
    I can see the improvement with each passing episode.

    Hi guys, not sure if somebody told you before. On loose or steep down hills a great techniques is to turn off your engine, have both feet down and use the clutch / engine for breaking. This way you have a rear brake and both feet down. Might be worth a try. But you guys are doing amazing on pretty soft core bikes. Greetings AndyB

    Granny traced one of the branches of our Welsh family tree that she thought led to someone who rode with Billy the Kid in the US.
    I follow rue Pullman here in Montréal all the time and I thought it was because Canadian Car & Foundry built Pullman railcars on this street. It was actually because the national railway had a yard on this street that used these American and European wagons.
    I think I've seen that type of locomotive in Africa. May be good at tight corners or traction or something.

    Hallo Lavi, ich wollte den gleichen Kommentar abgeben wie jemand im Kommentar unten. Wenn du an einen steilen Abhang kommst, der wirklich rutschig ist oder viele Steine ​​hat und du keine Motorleistung brauchst, schalte den Motor am Stoppschalter am Lenker aus und nutze den ersten Gang. Dann kannst du den Motor mit dem Kupplungshebel als Hinterradbremse verwenden. Auf diese Weise kannst du beide Füße unten lassen und läufst nicht Gefahr, zu stark die Vorderradbremse zu betätigen und zu stürzen. Bitte übersetze das für Ollie. Ich bin Amerikaner, aber ich kann Deutsch lesen und schreibe mit Hilfe von Google. Ollie you’re a good teacher . Wish you both safe riding , do not have time now but next I will move back to Europe for good and hope I can meet up with you two sometime .
