We explore the last bits of Wales and meet a friendly local who shares the ins and outs about what makes it such a special place to live. Snowdonia treats us with spectaculair vistas and we end the day with a beautiful campsite. Just before arriving in camp we get tipped off there might be some extraterrestrial activity in the area… After some editing work in Chester we skip a bit by train to avoid a very busy urban stretch. Up North we are welcomed by the rain and some lovely places to camp and enjoy what this part of England has to offer 😊

    1. With so many behind the scenes stories, unexpected surroundings and incredible hospitality, who thought the UK could be so adventurous? It really has us wanting more! Enjoy & Have a great day, E&M

    2. Thanks for the fabulous videos. I've cycled many of the same routes through Wales and the Lakes and this film has brought back happy memories.

      The microwaves in walls are used for post to stop it from getting damp! Somewhere hidden in the hills will be a farm house that the postie can't reach.

      The number of cut trees trees will get worse as you head into Scotland or Northumberland. Storm Arwen in the winter of 2021 took down huge numbers of trees and it will take 15 months to 2 years to clear them all!

      Safe travels and if you're ever in Shropshire send me a message as you're welcome to stay.

    3. Hai..goodluck for you erik n maudy..i allways like your video touring everywhere u are..you my inspiration….
      I thing all nice video n story u made…..
      Regard from indonesia…..succses allways..bro n sist….keep safety riding…..

    4. I noticed you are using the Infinity Saddle. Could you let us know what you think of it? I am transitioning from a recumbent to a very upright traditional frame and cannot find a comfortable saddle.

    5. Hills in the U.K. yep you easily get 20%. The hills are not so big to have roads that zip zag like in the alps, but they are so numerous and the roads and tracks go straight up straight down and back up again. So it’s a challenge.

      I just came back from Netherlands wirh my mum on e bikes as she is 78 yrs old. It’s flat, super flat. Outstanding rides there wirh zero inclines except the highest hill in the county of course.

    6. Another beautiful episode in your trip thank you for sharing 👍 Loving the drone shots and I’m sure you will really enjoy the beauty of the Lake District

    7. I recently discovered your channel, which I love, and I am currently working my way through your earlier World Tour videos. I haven't been able to do as much cycle touring as I would have liked, but I can still experience it through your adventures. I am so impressed with the quality of your filming and editing and I appreciate the extra time (and pedalling) you must be putting in to do all the filming! I'm very pleased that you have just visited my home of Cumbria/The Lake District, and am looking forward to see where you visited in your next video. I love your friendly, open, positive attitude and the fact that you often focus on your interactions with the people you meet, rather than just the sights. I am also super impressed with your stealth camping skills – I would never be brave enough to camp in the places you've camped! I have lots of questions I'd like to ask but I did want to ask about helmets. Sometimes you wear helmets and sometimes you don't – here in the UK most cyclists wear helmets, but I was in Utrecht this Summer so I know that not many cyclists wear helmets in the Netherlands. I was wondering how do you decide when to wear a helmet and when not to?

    8. Guys if both of you sang while on break from cycling accompanying by harmonica, ukulele or sm instrument easy to carry, but 1-3 whole songs per vlog, it would make them more outstanding, don't you think?

    9. Hey guys, just catching up on your videos here in the UK.

      This trees on the western shores of Windermere (which is funnily enough not an actual Lake but simply a 'mere' as it is too shallow to be considered a Lake) were blown down during the storms of autumn 2021 and the previous year but 2021 being particularly bad. I was working at the campsite at Low Wray for the National Trust and we had to close doors early due to flooding and then the trees came down thereafter with sudden high winds. There is forestry there but along the shore path where you cycled it was indeed just storm damage.

    10. Its my dream to cycle around the world, if you had chosen not to take the train from chester to Lancaster, you might have gone through Blackpool, which is a great place. and has a very famous Landmark called Blackpool Tower, which has been around for around 130yrs or so, and is worth the visit. I love your videos and they are giving me some inspiration.
