It is a pleasure to accompany you on all of your journeys via KZread . Informative and entertaining stuff as always from a Gentle Man... And a riverside/canal pub. Perfect.

Very kind words.. Thank you Barry…Much appreciated..🙂👍

Great video Dickie! Took me back a good few years when we’d watch bands at the Barge & enjoy an ale to two. They used to do an Alien Ale (green coloured) when all the excitement around the crop circles was in full swing 👽

Thanks Mike.. Really enjoyed making that one ..👍

I see you tracked Sandy and the rest of the Wiltshire Mafia down. I am concerned for their health Dickie. Big fry up breakfasts and after a quick bimble, stops at the cafe for coffee and cake, I think an early morning run ( no! on foot ) will sort them out...😆 West Wood is beautiful and the Sarsens have been there since they were dropped in the last Ice Age. The Blue Stones at the Henge came from close to where I live, the Preseli Hills in Wales. 👍

It’s amazing the breakfast crew aren’t all around the 20 stone mark 😄.. I’ll have to come and look for the origins of the blue’s… Think I saw something on tv about an ancient quarry they’ve found..👍ATB..

Got here via Sandy (Wiltshire Man). Pretty sure I’m going to enjoy your videos as much as your other subscribers. I’ve camped at The Barge Inn a couple of times. Lovely area. 👍🏼

Hi and thanks for watching..Sandy’s my best mate and a lovely chap..Haven’t had the channel that long and am still learning so to speak..We’re always learning I guess 🙂..Will hopefully have some interesting things for you on the channel .. Thanks again and take care 👍

I know little about Sarsen stone but after just 10mins of looking i note 'sarsen was essential to nourishment' (Connoisseurs of Stone) fascinating subject in a beautiful area. Thanks to you and Wiltshire man for lighting my interest.

Nice one Dickie, you just never know what or who you’re going to see or bump into when you’re out, those West woods are a really great visit, the Wansdyke is fascinating 👍 I think the long barrow is next turning up by West woods farm, great video n music 😎👍

Nice video there Dickie. Good choice of backing music! Interesting hearing about the Stonehenge stones. Having just moved to Wiltshire, I shall look forward to exploring the surrounding countryside on my bike and finding out about the history of the area… when we get a dry spell!

Bloody hell 10k?? That’s expensive for a Himi , sterling or euros .. Crikey.. Wait for the new 450’s to get a foot hold and more than likely the 410,s will drop price wise.. My dealership is selling brand new BS6’s for just under 4K.. 👍ATB

We have to use the euro and its killing us . The import dutys and tax makes it very difficult to buy anything here . If i buy in England i would have to pay shipping E450 Then VAT around the 2k mark and the rgistration tax called VRT another 1500 on a new bike. Depends on the value that the customs and excise people put on it . Its sickens me when i see what you guys and girls pay for bikes. We would even pay VAT on a sceondhand bike +VRT. @@DickieMintCycles

Wiltshire is my favourite county. We stopped at the Barge Inn many moons ago when I was doing a guided crop circle tour of the vale. It was an awesome day with many memories. Pewsey Vale has a special energy about it. Great video Dickie

Thanks Collin.. Energy all over the place in this county.. Those woods are really special though.. When I first visited the place you could feel it but couldn’t explain it.. Definitely an aura about the place..Then I found out about the connection with the Henge....👍

Thanks for taking me to the pub , or bar over here, and then the woods Dickie. People get locked up in jail here for doing just that.

Excellent Laird Dickie, most Informative and interesting.. 'The Barge Inn' would to the unaware be easy to miss, tucked away down the back, is it just that road in down to there...! Fancy seeing the Breakfast crew.. didn't get away with sneaking off and not telling you.. I did comment to your absence on Sandys video. The Woods and History was of interest as with location the same round this Our Island, we've the Cannock Chase on our doorstep, most interesting the Military History, Camps, training grounds and International Servicemen's Graves. Have you the link to follow on with the core sample finding. Don't leave to late to see the Bluebells, they Flower before the Trees have leaf cover.. they need the Sun and warmth to bloom.. interest to Bluebells will never grow where they'd never grown, well what I was informed. Onwards/upwards to the next one, take care and stay safe. Dewi

Good Morning Dickie , Thank you for taking us with you on this your latest ride out mate very interesting , I'd just like to ask you have you ever rode up here in Northumberland plus can i ask you please Dickie why you got rid of the 502x , so as always take care & ride safe

Morning Steve..For all my sins the answer is no .. Not had what you’d call a good look round Northumberland I’m afraid..Maybe one for later in the year…Put around 10k on the Benelli in around a year of ownership..I liked the bike,great little engine..What put me off in the end was lack of availability of parts..Had a couple of components try and fall off the bike ( centre stand and exhaust pipe) which was directly down to a lack of loctite on bolts.. This didn’t unduly bother me too much it was the fact you couldn’t get the bespoke replacement bolts / brackets / springs .. A look on Moto GB’s parts site flagged up major issues with the supply of a lot of parts for the bike Apparently it’s a lot better now so I’ve been told 😉.. Anyway, thanks for watching Steve , and take care 👍

Smashing video. Do you think you could take us back there later in the year?
