    Wonderful Susanna and a lovely treat to see your Dad joining you along the way - 87 and still adventuring! I hope I’m still able and filled with the desire to keep playing with life as your Dad obviously is when I reach his age! You struck gold with your spacious camping views and the pub grub looked worth all those hills to get to 😊 I had earmarked your first track ‘Just Do’ for a future video myself but you beat me to it - love the lyrics! It never occurred to me to dehydrate salmon before, amazing idea! You’re looking so fit and healthy which is fab to see 😍🎉 x

      Hello! Aw thank you for the lovely comment Miriam! yes I love those lyrics too! Oh I am looking forward to see what you do with that track too now haha! Ah yes the salmon was a bit of an experiment. I also had never thought of dehydrating fish but my husband gave me a book on dehydrating food for my birthday, and there was a whole section on fish, so I thought I would give it a try. Great! I have had it three times now. Haha. Thank you for writing!! Best wishes!!

    Hi Susanna .I have enjoyed and been inspired by you to get on a bike. This has resulted in my grandson joining me . Found your channel during lockdown . You are a daughter to be proud of and your love of family shows !! Your father is another inspiration to all us in our senior years . Just to let you know that I have never commented on anyone’s channel before . Seeing you with your father moved me to be brave and express a great thank you sharing your adventures with me 😊

    I am a 72 year old Brompton rider here in New Zealand (We are a rarity here). I have watched many of your videos over the years. I love watching and hearing about your adventures. Your videos show the charm and beauty of the English countryside in your own inimitable understated way. I have a Kiwi daughter, son in law and 2 grandchildren in the UK. One of my ambitions is to purchase a Brompton on our next trip to the UK and do some 'S Thornton' style riding.
    So sorry to hear about your cancer - but if you can - keep riding!! - you are an inspiration. Kind Regards and my very best wishes.

    Hi Susanna, I found your Hk to UK video a couple of weeks ago, an amazing trip. Having worked in China between 81 and today the footage in rural China brought back a lot of memories. I am now working my way through your recent videos and enjoying them immensely. I too have had cancer and found that cycling and hiking helped me recover. You really are inspiring.
    This video soundtrack had me intrigued, I was sure the singer was Allison Krauss but saw in the credits it was Noomi Thorentsson, their voices are so similar they could be sisters. Thanks for sharing your rides, they are so enjoyable and so positive.

    Susanna,
    I’m finally catching up with your adventures. And what an adventure it was: Climbing over stone walls to camp (your rehab must include weight training), cycling 50 miles per day, and those hills, yikes (thank you for walking). And the best part was that you did all that to have lunch and visit with your dad. I’m sure he was thrilled.
    You have inspired me. I just finished a five day, train, cycle, plane trip with my Brompton on the Katy Trail in Missouri, US.
    Love seeing and hearing of your “escapades”.
    Peter
    P.S. Fifty mile days on the Brompton are tough, no matter where you are.

      Yeh it works great actually. Not my idea - I was hunting around for ideas on how to fix the Ortlieb on the rear rack, and saw this idea on the webpage of a guy called Shane. He used bungies as straps, but I think that would be quite wobbly - as he says himself. I use a ratchet strap with a cam buckle, pulled really tight, and it's great

    Greetings Susanna! The truth is that I have to mention that I love how you take time to connect with your environment. You enjoy everything, there are three particular shots of the video that I really liked… when you walk with your bike in a meadow full of tiny flowers and you mount your camera on the side of the bike, just beautiful little flowers!, when the cows approach curiously to you to observe you and the meeting with your father and pedal together, that is spectacular!!! I can't forget about the music either. Who sings? …there are moments where I feel lonely…
    Good health and thanks for sharing your experiences.

I've only had it a few weeks after getting an e-bike last year and thinking a normal bike would improve my fitness. I've already changed the chainring for a 40T which helps with hills on the edge of the Pennines where I live but I'm just so slow to get very far. I'm struggling to see how I'll ever manage. Thank you for continuing to inspire me to keep trying.

    Superb Lady. No other word for it. You sprinkle magic throughout your videos. Great to meet your Dad also. Stay safe. I'm from Stockport also - but that's incidental.

    "Once upon a time, on a Brompton..." The scenery looks like they are from the pages of a fairy tale. The ending is a happily ever after.

    Another fabulous vlog. Your dad is so amazing - still cycling and looking great on it too. Your videos always convey so much love and positivity. And your determination in dragging your bike and bags over walls and stiles just adds to the sense of adventure. You are so strong - after all your treatment too. Amazing!! As always thank you for sharing with us.

    Hi Susanna Your thumbnail just come up on my feed and I am glad it did because its a great video. I am sorry to learn you are on chemo treatment but your clearly not letting it stop you doing what you want to. Those hills looked daunting but they were worth it because you found a great place to camp. Your dad looks great for his age and he has clearly passed his cycling genes onto you as well. Best wishes and needless to say you now have one more Sub. Take care.

    Nothing wrong with pushing the bike uphill. I do it a lot myself. It gives me an opportunity to view the countryside I'm travelling through with more attention. Your camping spot was gorgeous!
    Great video. Many thanks.

    Another great video Susanna, very enjoyable. You certainly had some challenges especially getting all your gear and bike over that wall! You are an inspiration. That was a lovely ending as well, pub lunch and Dad, marvelous. Good luck. (Al Kennett)
