EP.5 - WALES to ENGLAND - SOLO MOTORCYCLE TRIP UK - Desert X - Brecon Beacons National Park
Brecon Beacons National Park, what a wonderful collection of landscapes! Even though I've missed half of it due to the heavy rains and foggy weather, but still. Impressive may I say. The Black Mountain Road was still breathtaking in its moody setting, but I can't deny that I was very happy I got to see the Gospel Pass in it's full glory! I even met some lovely furry friends who weren't able to leave my side while I was trying to capture the beauty of the highest paved pass in the area. After 12+ hours on the road, I was happy I could enjoy my well deserved drink and evening view.

When camping out on Brecon Beacons we used to always say, if you can see the hills it is going to rain and if you can't see them it is already raining :P
I've only just come across your videos. Wow. Love them.👍

Glad you like them and welcome
Really Nice Pictures....all
Thank you for your Welsh visit and your lovely words about our beautiful countryside.
The baffle house when open is great biker venue and good food.
Hedges are there to hide the baby dragons ;-)
That sand or Crème Brûlée colour scheme of your bike is growing on me for each time I see it!
Amazing content. Great video editing. You seem to be such a down to earth, likeable person. Amazing!
Awesome video 👏🏽 get some much deserved rest
As a motorbike rider /traveler I recognise so many feelings that you have during a trip, like the doubts to what direction, the fatigue after a day riding etc....... What I learn from you is to live more in the moment. You see the beauty in everything and thats great. 👍

It's a meditation on two wheels. The intense focus needed for safe riding, days of solitude on the road and the sense of endless possibilities are why I ride. Wish I had a gorgeous DesertX 😅
Years ago, (about '90 ?) I entered Wales, from the motorway to go towards the Swansea area, It started to rain, THREE DAYS LATER. lol, I rode back into 'England', & as if a switch had been flicked, The Sun came out & it stopped raining. But, ! I had a great time, a beautiful trip. 👍 Terrific vids' Keep 'em coming, Thanks.🙂

It seems like we had a likewise experience, but you'll see how that turned out in the next episode!
Iam really enjoying your channel ❤❤
I really enjoyed that vlog
A favourite day trip on the bike takes me from Bristol over the Severn bridge to my home country, then a loop via Usk, Llanthony Priory, Gospel Pass, Hay on Wye, Builth Wells, Beulah, Abergwesyn, Devil's Staircase, Llyn Brianne, Llandovery, a break at the Owl's Nest, over the Black Mountain Road and back to Llandovery, along the A40 to Abergavenny, back roads to the Wye Valley, Tintern Abbey, and back over the bridge. Good to see you enjoying some of my favourite roads, even if the weather wasn't the best.

That sounds like an amazing day out on two wheels and I'm happy I get to experience some of those incredible places! Thanks for sharing
Ok 👏🎉 adiós
Always wear waterproofs when riding in Wales. Great views I'm told. 😊
You have been very Lucky with the weather Leonoor....... Normally at this time of the Year it is far too hot for Biking.... Up to 40c..... LOL.... Still I am happy you can see the Beauty in all that is around you.... Take care and stay safe........ :-))) xxxxxx
I/we were there in late May, there were signs saying the road was closed but when we arrived at the damaged road near Lantony Abbey. There was room for one car at a time to go through the road works. We then continued passed The Skirrid Pub, supposed to be one of the most haunted places in Wales. Keep the content coming, PLEASE.
Good content - shame about the weather ! - look forward to your next one !
Absolutely loving your work.
My 1st Vlog of yours I’ve seen…sent it to my daughter who is just starting to ride…wanted her to see the real beauty and nature of motorcycle adventures. The solitude and joy of back country, as you display, is the essence of motorcycle touring. Thank you for this experience!

Totally captivating.just wish I knew in advance you were to visit Wales your accommodation would have been sorted maybe next time😊😊😊
The brecon beacons is on my doorstep. I'm up there all the time on my motorbike 🏍 when the weather is nice. When the sun is shining, it's a beautiful place for biking.
The way you find lines in your stills. Sure vlogging and seeing amazing sites, but the stills! 😮

Still a very nice episode, perhaps despite the bad weather.
The lane down the Gospel Pass to the Priory is shown as blocked, however, it is passable on the bike. We’ve done it several times these past few weeks. Glad you enjoyed our beautiful countryside.

I must say I didn't ride all the way to the actual blockage, as it started raining pretty bad, so I turned around to where it was more dry and hoping to find shelter in the priory haha. But I'll be back for sure!
Love the photos with the horses, i would have had a hard time leaving those guys behind lol that castle was beautiful!
Very pretty even in the rain. Nice pictures 👍🍻
My mum’s primary school was at llanthony abbey. I think there were about 8 children in total at the school of which 2 were her sisters
Wat een hele mooie foto heb je gemaakt, op 12.22 minuut op de film😍🥰.
Camera aan de riem en rijden! Mooi mooi
Tintern Abbey is where Iron Maiden- Can I play with madness, video was shot. Love that place ❤
love your content it's a pleasure watching you on your journey safe travels
You need to do it when the sun is out ,you could spnd weeks riding in the mountains and valleys of Wales it's a stunning place, 😊, I live here and I've never got fed up of seeing it , more sheep in Wales than people 😮, Enjoyed the video,
You could get round the road closure on the bike no problem..it was just a small land slide
Amazing vid thankyou its knda strange in a good way to see you ride my local roads, I go up the gospal pass to find peace and say hello to the horses hope you come back when its sunny it dose happen from time to time 🙂
Another great video lots of my local routes you have ridden and will be no doubt as I live in Bristol which is perfectly placed for rides to Wales, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire all within a 2hr ride.
Hello Lenoor, I'm sure you Know but the Gospel Pass is the highest road in Wales. If your around the area again check out Baskeville Hall Hotel Near Hay on Wye.
Superb filming...just returned from a 3 day ride taking in Brecon and Snowdonia...when you come back take the road from Bala lake to Welshpool, I took it by chance and fantastic road for view's and bends for days.....
Im really loving the content.. thanks
Enjoyed the vid. Thanks
I love these videos. Just started on my motorcycle training, so going on adventures vicariously with these vlogs until I can go out on my own. Chapeau

Shame about the weather you missed some great views from the Black Mountain….but that’s Wales for you…lived there for five years.
I did lost track of your channel, after going thru my like history I finally found it. Im really happy today. Im watching you from Bangladesh and I really love your videos. Best wishes
Great weather, great motorcycle, great landscape, great music, great luggage equipment, great video and.......super girl.....😉
It’s a shame the weather hasn’t been kind to you it’s stunning when it’s dry at least you had some good company
Great video! Inspiring me to get into doing this too

Just Amazing, making us more eager to visit the place. Thank you!!!!
Hi, I'm new to your channel, you have a very laid back approach to your videos that is really engaging every time i watch one it makes me want to ride my bike . Keep up the awesome creating and a big thank you for all the episodes i have to catch up on . All the best go well
Great video as usual! I have never been in GB but I've been in Ireland and I agree with you about the hedges.
The ponies were jealous..
Please keep bringing us along on your wonderful adventures. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Another brilliant video. Hopefully, if you're doing the UK you'll get to visit Exmoor, Dartmoor, and Bodmin moor as you travel through Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall.
I'm really enjoying your videos around Wales, a lot of routes I have done many times but I'm going to have to head back soon!
Nice channel really well put together
Photomode seems to work great
So enjoyable to watch your calm riding presentation, and your excellent photography , even in bad conditions . Thank you .
Lovely vd. Congrats!
Hi, must say I'm new to your channel, love your content, and I must congratulate you on near perfect English, It's such a shame the weather has not been on your side. Love your Ducati first time I've really seen one of those, but going forward to the future if you have enjoyed Wales you would love Scotland. Thank you.

Its a shame you have missed out on what Wales has to offer because of the weather it is stunning. You stop for the night is in my area and near Cheddar. look forward to the rest of the adventure here in the U.K.

Ahh what a shame, I have just noticed your videos. I met you at Magor services and asked you about your soft luggage. Had I known you were struggling I would have offered you a place to stay for free. You looked pretty calm about the situation so I didn’t think you were in need of somewhere to stay. Glad you found somewhere comfortable. If you come back to South Wales I’d gladly show you some beautiful areas that aren’t well publicised.
Really enjoying your content,particularly this one as you were in my backyard!

I'm really enjoying this series and am blown away by your photography. You ended the day only 15 minutes from my house and I was riding in the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains this week (wall to wall sunshine.... sorry), so I know just how far you rode to get to Axebridge... your editing hides the time and distance well.

Hey, Jammer dat je video haast onverstaanbaar is. Veel windgeruis en doffe klank. Dit moet jij toch ook horen bij het editen ? Vorige video’s hadden we het ook al gehoord. Maar het wordt precies steeds erger naarmate de video’s 😬
