A lovely ride and camp with your friends, a dose of medicine Sandy. Happy Birthday to your friend Tony. Great to see the horse rider’s having such good manners,something sadly lacking in today’s society.

Happy birthday Tony that looked a good way to enjoy the occasion.

Looked like Tony had a memorable Birthday. Sandy it sounded like you said that you used to fly para-motors. If so, that is awesome. You and I have a lot in common. I still have a powered parachute but have not flown it for years. I have a good quality mountain bike as well. I put quite a few miles on it in the past mostly traveling mountain horse trails. I am very impressed by the distance that you fellas traveled in the video.

Жыл бұрын

Hi Lonnie, Yes I used to fly paramotor but retired from it a couple of years ago, in total I had around 160 flights mostly enjoyable but I did have a few bumpy thermic rides too:) A bad ankle and poor situational awareness made me decide to keep my feet on the ground. I couldn't manage reverse launches no matter how hard I tried due to a slight balance problem I have when I turn quickly (all down to a type of brain tumour called vestibular schwannoma) that I had a few years ago. Atleast I was able to tick the paramotoring off my bucket list! You will find some paramotor videos on the playlist on my channel. Hope you and Connie are both keeping well. Sandy

It’s great you get all those miles in and they’re mostly off-road. Cracking adventure 👍

Hi Sandy, you chose a nice loop to celebrate Tony Birthday, and test out Dave’s new bike. I did that loop in the reverse direction some years back, from what I can remember the canal path appeared to be less over grown for you. It a lovely ride along canal between Hungerford and Reading well all the way to Bath really. Great to see you all out enjoying your off road adventure. Oh Happy Birthday to Tony. 🎂🎂🚵‍♂️🚵‍♂️🚵‍♂️. Nice to see your drone shots, they always give an added view to area’s we often pass . Cheers

I might be bias, but Tony has a great name. Happy birthday, great way to spend your time. Sandy, it just dawned on me that in these videos, if you think about it, there is so much of land not inhabited. The scenery was fantastic to see. Thanks for sharing. Tony.

First of all, Happy Birthday Tony!!!!! What better way to spend a Birthday? No doubt that you three built up some very fond memories on this wonder trip. Riding along the the canal on those tow paths is such a perfect setting to enjoy a bike ride with friends. 100 miles is quite a long 2 day trip but I am pretty certain that you enjoyed every mile of it (except those horrible and steep steps that were on the trail.)

Once in blighty the name Percy was anglisized to Piercy.
