Hi guys, it’s awesome that you guys are getting out there living the dream! Really enjoying your videos. Regarding the tent with a “porch” I would suggest looking into a tarp. Packs down really small and very versatile. I use mine as my main tent, it’s also a good bike cover/picnic blanket/emergency rain shelter

Buy a 4 person free standing tent and then buy a lightweight nylon tarp, 10 x 12 or 12 x 16 and set one end up over your tent and then use 2 collapsing poles for the outer two corners and stake it down with draw cords. You will have a lightweight nylon bigger tent with a large porch over and out the front. It works great!

Concrete box is called a pillbox constructed during ww2 and used by the observer corps and the home guard (dads army)

In the summertime Finland and Sweden can be very warm! We just had 3 weeks of temperatures over 20 or 25! But yes up north it can get very cold.

Crows are really clever and friendly they don’t mind sharing 🙂

What a lovely trip!! Thanks as always for taking us along!! Super excited for your next adventures!!! 🤩🤩🤩❤️

Don't have your phone out in the hot sun or in the clear map pocket as it will fry. Keep it out of the sun as much as possible.

We have the Big Agnes 3 Hotel Bikepack tent… LOVE it!!! Meant for people bicycle tripping so the poles break down to 12”. 👍🏽. Really enjoying your vids and love seeing another couple out there enjoying the rides together 🫶🏽

Keep your tent guys and just add a tarp to it ,for your outside space but it will still shelter you 👍

Agreed DD super light with a ridge line between the two bikes 👌🏼

Fantastic can't wait for your trip to start, you're both doing amazing and those bags are the game changer.

Lone Rider Moto Tent. It's big and expensive but would suit the two of you. The parking bay area is big enough to stand up in and would be ideal for sheltering in on rainy miserable days. This tent can be seen on Saffy Sprocket's and Rest Day Riders channels. ( Both female motorcycle travellers).

Great video and looking forward to your trip. Subscribed. Dont forget you can get free standing tarp porches for tents (there are some on Decathlon). So you could choose a tent without a porch and then add a free standing tarp. I wiuld suggest looking at tents with vestibules to store gear at night. Some tents such as the MSR Elixir 2 also have optional gear garages to add on the end. But I think putting up multiple tent parts such as gear garages and separate porches may get tiring if you are camping every night. I would look at gettingareally good tent with vestibules for gear and consider the separate tarp porch only for when you may stop somewhere afew days.

I really looking forward to seeing your trip to Finland. It sounds amazing.😊🏍️👍

What a amazing trip you guys are going to have. Cannot wait to see what you get up and follow you along on this trip

Awesome kit and just watching the video now! Beautiful scenery and a sunny day!!! I volunteer as a Rapid Response Volunteer on my KTM for our @NSORRA Harescramble Events! Giant Loop was wonderful to our group a few years ago and gave us similar bags for our bikes to carry our Medical gear! Once strapped down, they do not move and they are fully water and mud proof as well! Giant Loop is an Awesome company! Grant from Nova Scotia Canada

finally got some storage, now it will take some time to figure out what you need and don't need. that's the not so fun part. sit and ride

The north cape. You Jammy Gits. Looking forward to watching.

can't wait to see your scandinavian TET adventures!!

Wow, really looking forward to seeing the videos of the trip.

Awesome 🤩 Finland 🇫🇮 wow 🎉Excited for ya!! Gave me goose bumps when ya said 😅 Bags look great 👍🏽 lovely beaches in Cornwall aye! Trips going to be EPIC!! Looking forward to coming along haha 😆 Happy planning guys 😊xx

After seeing a guys bags catch on fire from sitting near his muffler, I will never have a bag that sits close to the muffler! Please double and triple check your bags placement and check it many times a day during your trip.

Worth checking out itchy boots views on the challenges of follow me drones. You may want to stick with what you have. Love the zip hinge tank bag, real game changer.

Storm tent! Good luck

I have just discovered your channel and I'm in!

The scenery there looks fantastic. Camping suggestion. When you set your tent up, close the mosquito nets down so you don't share your tent with a load of insects. Looking forward to your Skandinavian trip.

Hi Martha and Mitch, great to see the sunshine in Cornwall. Love your new bike packing luggage. Looking forward to watching your Finland trip. Your ytube videos are awesome, so well done. Great all is going well for you both, you deserve every success. Look after yourselves, and thank you for your replies to my comments. All the best,look after each other, be safe on your bikes. Bye for now Tim.

Epic new adventure! I've been to Nordkapp as well, you might want to consider Norway up and Finland down. If you're travelling Norway down, you'll most of the day be riding with the sun in your face rather than on your back, making it more difficult to enjoy the scenery as you're constantly looking into the sunlight. Just a tip 😊

Disc locks kept two disc lock mounts that go on you handl bars disc lock out the way and easy to get at

This vid is so much more interesting than when you were training on the bikes, glad I stayed. Looking forward to the trip to Finland. Don’t forget your thermals…..and your trousers Mitch 🤣🤣 🇦🇺🐾🐾🐾

Great Video! Make sure to bring mosquito hats going to Finland. Looking forward to see your journey 😊🇳🇴

hat's not enough! All the possible liquids and poisons too. And maybe buy a Thermacell!

Was thinking of you guys Whilst walking around Portland Dorset What a place that is

Love it.

Just picked up on your channel and will look forward to following your trip to Finland, Sweden and Norway. I was surprised to see the bags you have just fitted didn't get melted by your exhaust. On my bikes, I am always careful to keep any bags away from the exhausts. Looks like another enjoyable biking channel I can enjoy. All the best John😊👍🏍

You blumming “Jammy Gits” - pardon the pun. What a great video. Loved the scenic shots and your short adventure. Can’t wait to see your longer trip. Have fun. You two are so inspirational and I just wish I was 30 years younger. Keep up the fantastic work. Regards Rob

You might think about getting a tarp if the weather's crap. I've got one I tie one end to the bike the other to the tent .

great vid guys!

I recommend any quesha fresh and black tent from decathlon. Best tents you can get in my opinion. I have a 2 person 2 second pop up and then you can buy a porch to add on as an extension. Loving the videos!

New subscriber here. Looking forward to your adventures 👍

Hi guys, inspiration for a Cornwall trip with this video! Stunning! In terms of tents, we have a vango 3 man with a porch and it's great for like bikes however we find ourselves looking at buying a kampa 4 or 5 man we saw, we could actually have sat easily in our chairs where as the vango our heads touch the roof. Our vango weighs 5kg and I think the kampa was around 6 or 7 so much much difference for alot more space! Hope you find your dream set up soon! 😊

MSR Hubba Hubba NX2? Its semi free standing, has two porches, is lightweight, good head room and super easy to put up, I love mine (not the cheapest though)

I loved seeing you two on this relaxed trip! The trip to Scandinavia sounds AWESOME!!! The new luggage looks like great quality and versatility...should do you really well. Btw...tents...i think you'll appreciate something with a porch, especially with a month long trip on the horizon. Being able to look forward to a larger tent to serve as your home while traveling will be a Godsend. Just make sure you get something that is tough and weather/rain/wind resistant. Have you thought about getting a double sleeping bag to keep warmer at night? I've used them (singally & doubly) and they're great. ❤ Lauren

Looking forward to what comes next. I love our Vango omega tent.

Great episode . Be great to see the upcoming journey,,,,, fair play to ya both .

Nice video guys....I enjoyed the scenery. I lived in Somerset before I moved to Canada. My daily hack is a 2022 DR650. I will check in on your channel again.

More Drone footage I say 🔥🔥🔥

welcome to Sweden 😊

Another great vlog, loved the drone shots despite the issue. Looking forward to travelling again.

I know the price takes the mick!lol ..but the hilleberg nallo 3gt would be perfect for you both..or if your going to more extreme areas ( very heavy wind and rain/high mountain roads) the Nammatj 3gt is more suited….and roughly the same price ..it’s your home on the road at the end of the day..literally!ha Ive got a wild camping background and spending money on a good tent will never be wasted👍🏼

Look at the vango tent it's a 3 man with a porch on it would be perfect for the bike defo what a will be going for plus a small hammock as a back up

Welcome to Our Neck of the woods! You guys are similar to us, we use CRF1100 Africa twins, But with us Rich is the Hangry one! We are currently Motocamping a month in Spain and Portugal. You guys will have a epic adventure

Looking forward to watching your adventures through Scandinavia. Lived in the very north of Norway for 2 years a long time ago and rode the E4 a couple of times . Get the best mosquito repellent you can find for Finland . Consider staying in a cabin if the weather turns really wet . And be ready for eye watering prices in Norway ! I think you made a great choice for your first ride abroad the scenery will be stunning 😊

Yay my favourites are back 🤗

I really enjoy watching your rides and look forward to seeing upcoming rides. If you ever make it to the USA and happen to go through Casper Wyoming, my wife and I would be happy to put you up for a stop along the way.

We’re doing the exact same trip from 9th July, but in the camper! Would be amazing to meet up 😊

Looking forward to it! Please keep the vids shortish

The Coast path is so beautiful ❤️ making me miss the sea!! (Minus the jelly fish haha)

Hey Martha why don't you and Mitch have a chat about going away in the can with your bikes and come to North Yorkshire - Helmsley Pickering Thornton Le - dale driffield Bridlington Sutton bank Gretna green camp sight Edinburgh Glasgow balloch places for you and Mitch Martha your videos are excellent keep up the excellent riding Martha and you too Mitch rude carefully

Wow that’s one big trip you’ve got planned 👍

23:19 watch out for speeding fines you two 10% of your annual wage if you get caught speeding over there in Finland or Norway or Sweden ,be safe

Shame I missed you both. Went to all those places this weekend .

u lucky gits ... cant wait

awsome upload fantastic sceneary .... loved it

Looking forward to this one!

Lots of tent choice out there . I use a Naturehike Massif tent. It sleeps two but has amazing porch space. It's 4.4kg but split between bikes wouldn't be a problem. Otherwise look at Robens Voyager 3, Naturehike Hiby 3.

Cornwall is in my heart too. I bet you wish you had that gear on the Vietnam trip :)

A another enjoyable vlog guys ❤❤❤

Wow what an awesome adventure for you

Mitchell brother Eastenders 13:21🤭🤣

Good job. Love you both.

This is gonna bee a good trip. So cool you will be coming here to Finland! What route will you be taking in Finland? IM myself located on the south coast.

The drone footage was amazing! Where is that place, I am keen to check it out on Google Maps. Thank you

5:00 I would still purchase a heatshield tho for both bikes Mitch ,Martha

You two are so bloody inspirational!! Love the chilled relaxed attitude you both have its making me want a 300 Rally so much ☺

Good luck with getting your kit sorted and preperation for the trip! Journey to the Nordic countries sounds amazing! Curious about a couple of things- firstly when on the trails, do you do the TET, or diferent lanes, combination of both? Also wich drone are you thinking of? Im planning on getting one myself, but wasnt aware that not all DJI Minis have tracking system.

Hey! Was that Treen Farm Campsite. I LOVE THAT PLACE! did you go to the Minack Theatre?

So many tents are not waterproof,be careful,i have been advised on MSR tents,pricey,prehaps,good luck

Safe trip in Finland

Welcome to Norway. bring a fishing rod

Not a motor biker but really enjoying watching your adventures. Are you GLASS members?

If you are getting a new tent and going to the nordics have you considered a hot tent with small collapsible wood burner?

Hi Guys, as always Steff and I really enjoyed the video. So funny that you announced your first trip is heading up north 🎉 I’m setting off (poor Steff is having to work) for a month on the Swedish and Norway TET straight after the ANR festival this month so I’m guessing similar time to you guys We’re now back from Portugal and after watching your latest video we’re heading down to Cornwall for a few days camping and to ride some of the TET 😂 A quick question. Were there any sections that were really tricky and best avoided? Alternatively any sections that are a “must do”? Loving the videos 😊

Hi mate! Yes very similar times! Down Cornwall there wasnt any particularly bad sections. Martha rode pretty much all of it with no issues there was just a couple of small lanes with some bigger rocks that I rode over for her! Quite a lot of road inbetween the lanes! What are you both riding? Hopefully see you up north 🤙

Have you guys thought about having a few freeze dried meals as they won't take up much room.

Was there any issue with having the bags laying over the exhausts? Also what drone do you use?, I was thinking of getting the DJI mini 3.

Why not get a second tent like you’ve got, one for living and one for sleeping. Loads of space

Have you given thought to carrying extra fuel on your longer trip ?
