Hopefully a channel about me doing lots of exciting outdoor things.


Please also consider checking out my second channel where I will be posting short reviews of camping and bikepacking gear: kzread.info/dron/b8PKatxuCgwpxXbJBm_qLA.html

    Late to the party again... Hi Mat, great wrap-up video to this tour. I kind of feel sad that it's now over, starting and finishing in France as it did gave me great memories. Thanks again for the Castelnaudary clip. See you in America soon, cheers 👍

    Hello Mat - Excellent ride series, in fact, I'm watching the GDMBR series now for the second time around. :) and looking forward to your trip this year. I probably looked right over this detail about your bike, but what water bottle cages are you (did you) use on the GDMBR? I believe a follower suggested them to you but I just can't put my hands on that info! (Something to do with age, likely :)) I like the idea of not having to use Voile straps (as I do now) on my front fork tube cages. Thanks, Mike

    Fantastic adventure Mat, we have greatly enjoyed watching the uploads, you completed a really tough challenge in a fascinating (and often misrepresented) country, amazing to contrast city life for life less impacted by big tech and huge numbers of people. Re supply looks to be key, and a good bike with a decent saddle! People are in general inherently kind in spirit, good to know and see in action. Thank you for taking the time to share, it makes for great viewing. All the best.

The way you speak to the camera is different than all others, it's like you are having a conversation with me ( the viewer ) , not all mundane and factoid like. Wonderful editing by Ross as well. You truly make the trip look spectacular. Thank you again for this contribution.

    People are often “over-biked” like they are over-everything-elsed. Last year I bought an old Moulton Stowaway for a song, and had a lot of fun stripping off the old paint and rust, applying a new coat of British Racing Green paint, and upgrading the stem, brake, and saddle. The rest of the bike, including the 2 speed rear hub were left original. I find this bike to be an excellent commuter, and with it’s front and rear racks, would be a good bikepacking rig. I remember a story of Brit who took Stowaway on a round-the-world tour, only to have the bike stolen in Australia. He ended up settling there (I guess he couldn’t get away without his bike), and, as far as I know, is still there today.
