Great video boys, the riding ones are my favourite by far
Wonderful, All stops can be accessed via trains stations only Dolgellau that has no direct train station but you can get to Barmouth and use the Mawddach trail to get on route this would be the best option if going alone without a van and crew.
wondering how many of these roads I can tackle in the defender – want to cycle this route too of course
โก ๐ฒ ๐คฎ
Iโm planning on doing the Walna scar road this weekend up in the lakes
I don't have ebike, can I ride my normal enduro bike in this trail?
Brilliant video but why has gmbn turned into embn?
Love these epic ride vids. Thx again!
The boys could really have benefitted from those cheap plastic fenders that clip into the seat rails. Easy to move from bike to bike for different shoots too…
(Also, great video! Thanks team.)

more of this!
Very wise by GMBN to get Steve Jones to narrate this video. Saves the embarrassment of non-Welsh pronunciation of the locations.
Wet Wales, nah sunny Spain seems a much better option.
Wrong channel boys – this belongs on EMBN.
Could this route be done on non electric hard tails or gravel bikes with thicker tyres?
According to their website these "lightweight" models weigh 19-20 kg, not 16.. so basically the same weight as the cannondale moterra sl, which is a full power emtb with a bigger battery, that's pretty underwhelming. basically their previous model with a smaller battery and the lighter bosch sx motor, no invention to spot here
Waitโฆ @4:52 – where did that comfy snack-van come from!?๐ Honestly, itโs nice to see these young bucks aging gracefully!
Seems like an infomercial…
I think another edit is due in summer on non e-bikes and no support van! ๐คโค๏ธ๐๐๏ธ๐
I am from the US, and I absolutely love your epic adventures. Getting to see the countryside of the UK is absolutely amazing. Thank you for making these videos, they are inspiring to watch. You guys make a great team, and the photography was great! I could watch that video over and over again.
Hip packs look uncomfortable. Bikes are gonna need a big wash after ๐ cool video
Love these epic rides with Neil and Blake, fantastic.
The DREAM!! WOW… That looks awesome
Great video as alwaysโฆ but donโt know what it is about canyon but I just donโt like them they just seem a bit meh to me. Same with orbeaโฆ nukeproof, yt, orange, commencal, and many others over them any day
e-bikeโน๏ธ
Love this UK adventure video especially with Neil and Blake! Blake is totally Americanized with "starbucks?!"! ๐
This would have been impressive on bicycles.
You know there are places it doesn't rain every single day. You don't have to live in the UK๐
I like the epic, don't like the motorbikes.
I was eyeing this route up only the other day, I wanna do north to South Wales one day awesome video
That was a very good pronunciation of Dolgellau Blake ๐Most pronounce it as 'Dol-Jelly' ๐คฆโโ
Epic looking ride,boys! Like the idea of Jonesy narrating.
Really enjoyed that episode
Amazing bikeโคโคโค
Wow! Great footage of a great ride! Thanks to Neil, Blake and camera crew.
Love it. The Canyon SL looks so good! The only downside of my Heckler SL is there is no range extender (yet).. These kinds of trips look amazingly fun.. Would def be a logistical nightmare though without support… Anything that can happen probably will lol.
Ryan Van Duzer and Lachlan Morton manage to bikepack thousands of miles on their own power. Imagine that. But the 2 weenies need their e-bikes to go a few hundred! I think you're on the gcn channel, boys.
Just over here torturing myself with your adventure content ๐คฉ
