This was fantastic to watch. Loved the format and the real talking. Travel is hard.... But when you get there it's epic. Some bits you enjoy some you don't. But all of it is an adventure.

Ah man thanks, yeah exactly this, it’s easy to show the good bits when life is going easy but sometimes it’s simply hard going right. But like you say, the whole experience is an adventure! Ride safe 😎

Huge fan of you guys! Watched basically everything you ever done and was massively starstruck when watching your second presentation at the Overland Event this year (Chloe and I were on at the same time as your workshop sadly so missed that) and it was just epic. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to say how great it was afterwards but keep doing what you do, you guys are awesome :) much love

Hey James great to hear from you, ah wow that’s such an amazing compliment, thank you 🙏 Such a shame we were both billed at the same time as Marc and I actually wanted to come and listen to you and Chloe talk, being in a similar position we wanted to pick up some tips ourselves. Maybe we could do that at our festival next year? If you can drop us an email at lighweightadv@gmail.com we would love to chat to you about speaking at the lightweight adventure festival 😁 Speak soon buddy, ride safe

Wow, what an epic adventure and brilliant watch. That was beautifully put together and edited, fair play lads, hats off to to you. The more I see of Bosnia, the more I want to go and see it, it seems stunning. You had some really shitty luck with the weather there, but I’m sure you still made loads of memories and that’s what it’s all about 👏🏼

Ah awesome, thanks buddy 👍 yes, Bosnia is simply beautiful and certainly a place that should feature on your list, the weather was awful but like you say we still had a great trip. 👍

Loved it. Like you, if you don't have rigid plan good stuff just seems to happen.

Great content - like always. 25:40 - no excuses! What I would add to your stories, is some kind of pointing from map/Maps for understanding where you were riding. For example: planned leg vs. actual leg, camping & accommodations, nice food, no-gos etc. Cheers!

When did you go? A mate and I went over to Bosnia at the beginning of June. We took the train through the mountain because Google told us to! We had a brilliant time and missed most of the rain but not all of it. I'll most certainly be going back over, so much more to see and do.

Ah cool, yeah a few people have said the train is really good. We went in April/May, probably not the best timing for weather really 😂

Croatia and Bosnia offer some truly magnificent adventure trails. I hope they stay a well hidden secret, sort of, for a while more.

Thank you so much. We went in May. It was unseasonably wet 😂

Really enjoyed this, doing a similar trip in June. Did you require or were you asked for any additional insurance for riding in Bosnia and the rest of the Balkans? Cheers

@lightweightadv

3 ай бұрын

We didn't need it. Both of our insurance policies covered us, so be sure to check the small print. Make sure you take your original vehicle documents! 😂

Was crossing from Croatia to Bosnia with no green card. Tried to bluff it initially then the guard suggested 50euro, Brought me into his office and indicated the cameras so, I had to time it passing the dosh. Backsheesh

Thanks for the shorter episodes and this longer version. A great trip and really explained that sort of adventure. I missed speaking to you at this year’s gathering, and came away early (just too wet for my gear!). Glad to see the “prop” came in handy on your trip. I dropped off two more at the gate this year. Pip-pip! Les

@@lightweightadv l'm not surprised because in the Uk spares and knowledge are scarce. A running Xt600 from the same era might have been a better basis for your goal. If you had ridden a good TT however it probably would have weaved its spell on you.
