Watching from Nz,I have just found your channel. Such an exquisite part of the world you are in; So very close to beautiful Symi ,where recently Dr Michael Mosley so sadly lost his life. I can already tell I am about to really enjoy following your travels and catching up What adventurous brave souls you are,living this life. Very best wishes; Thank you so much for sharing ! 😊
Hi guys, a kiwi here living in Darwin! Loved your 4 videos on the Leeds Liverpool Canal - especially the last 2 as I lived in Bradford for close to a couple of years from 2021-23, and left there to live in Darwin where I teach at the high school. Anyhoo, used to ride regularly on the canal, either heading East to Silsden or West to Leeds itself at leat once or twice a week depending on the weather. The only reason I stopped at Silsden is that the towpath turned into a VERY rough track so I hear what you mean. I can't understand why they haven't invested sooner in upgrading the tracks. They would get so much more people on it and the local businesses would make a killing. BTW if you are in Darwin you can ride all the way to Coolalinga on a bike path, and all the way up to Buffalo Creek. T'rah!
Hi Maurice, Wow it must have been a big change moving from there to Darwin! Glad you feel our pain with that section. Thanks for the tips on the path up your way. Safe travels mate!
Wow, really powerful! Definitely feel this one!! Great track, thank you!!
Thanks for your encouragement! 🤩
Nice video and welcome to England. Less than a minute in you call it a bike path, it is not, it is a tow path and pedestrians and fishermen have right of way over bicycles, the A frames and gates are to deter motorised vehicles and fast circling
Noted. That makes a bit more sense now. Safe cycling!
Quite superficial - nice guy but dont think he knows much about Liverpool , or Leeds - or that there is a statue of Freddy Truman at Skipton.
You'd be 100% right there!
Hi .. Just watched your vids, the iron gates are a bugger but needed as they are there to stop young boy racers idiots on motorbikes ripping up the towpaths, motorbikes, stolen probably.
It sounds like a big problem! Thanks for the info.
My first visit to Nusa Lembongan was in 1978 and had to quickly leave due to a turf war between islands ,returned in 1998 for a yearly surf trip up until now (last trip) You have visited the island during the off season (holiday season is stupidly busy ) also be aware of plastic burn offs during May
Thanks for sharing these tips mate! Wow, I can't imagine how crazy it got back in 78. Heavy stuff.
What's the name of place you stayed in Amed?
Pakels Bali Villas mate. Top spot.
I went through Onslow a few years ago, I can not comprehend how you guys could function in such confined and claustrophobic condition. No wonder Dolphins parade was such a big deal for submariners. Hats off to you all!
Thanks very much. It was a very enjoyable time in my life.
I keep trying on SNCF for bike that’s not dismantled, from Disney to Dieppe keeps coming up space not available , if any one knows why please let me know, changed dates etc . Thanks
If this you "Sloth" ? I can pick your walk.
Yes! It's me. Guilty as charged. How are you?
Dear Fat Man. Please advise the name of the hotel you stayed in Amed. In episode 52. Thank you
Pakels Bali Villas
Hi guys. Riding in NW Europe starting end of April. First stop for me will e Leiden as well. What’s the name of the place where you stayed. It looks perfect for me. I too am a member of that organization. Thank you, Brent Vancouver Canada
Sorry I didn't see your comment before now Brent! Did your trip go well?
The reason for the A and K frames used on canals is to stop motor cycles accessing the tow paths that are used by cyclists and pedestrians.
Waited 4 hours at Station Pier to tour on an ' open day '. 1983. Great boats.
I would watch more of your videos if I knew there was less moaning and negativity in the rest of them . ☹️
3 years ago I also walked from Fethiye to Kas, this spring I plan to walk all the way again, I saw you while watching videos for mental preparation. I just started watching. I hope your journey was enjoyable. I would like to correct a few mistakes and gaps. In the 1920s there was a war against Turkey between Britain, France, Italy, Russia and Greece. At the end of the war the Lausanne Peace Treaty was signed. In the treaty, the British delegate Lord Curzon proposed a population change, it was thought that living together after the war would bring difficulties. There were no Greek forced labor camps in Turkey either. There was a war and there were consequences for both sides. Kayakoy used to be a trading settlement and Fethiye was its port. The road you are walking on at the beginning of the video is the old road to the harbor. Kayakoy was abandoned because the Turks who came here were farmers, not traders, so they settled on the plain. Also there is no water in Kayakoy, each house has its own cistern to store water. Turks don't like to drink stored water unless they have to, and this is one of the reasons. That's why you can see fountains coming from springs all over Turkey.
Served on both Vampire and Onslow as an Engine Room Artificer in the mid 70's and the start of the 80's. In fact, my only sea drafts. Both are museum pieces now, which says a lot about me. Was onboard when we had the engine run on (RIP Chris). DBF brother
You aren't a cyclist until you've fallen off Charlie lol. Hope you weren't hurt.
What time of the year did you do this trip? By the way I really enjoyed it and had some good laughs. Sorry, but you didn’t dissuade me. However, I think the south side of the river might suit me better.
Great video, made me excited to be visiting soon, thanks 👍
Terrific video great scenery and so many cats too. And Charles finds he is famous! What a hoot.😂
It's wild that there were 🫏 donkeys wandering around at the train station!
Thnaks for sharing great video, is it Lesbos or Lemnos you caught the ferry to?
We caught the ferry to Lesvos ..... I was disappointed that there were not more lesos on arrival. But we did go to a couple of destinations on the island that there seemed like there was a awful lot of ladies that liked other ladies.
looks like you are having wonderful weather in Greece !
The weather has been fantastic.....it's about 30 degrees on Paros today (24th of October) the water is chilly but definitely swim able. It feels like we have the island almost to ourselves. If I could give one really clear bit of advice it is to avoid southern Europe in July and August ..... too hot, too crowded and too expensive. Middle of September to end of October is the sweet spot. Most places are still open, no crowds, temps are just right, prices are better and no lines
Thank you for sharing your travel experiences - thoroughly enjoyed your naval tour !
Thanks for your encouragement!
The Serbian Immigration Official was a Godess. 😍
The cave was really good I still don’t think it was a good idea to go down though haha!! More beautiful beautiful scenery. That door was next level thick at the end, looks like a bank volt.
The fortress hike was my favourite part. Oh, and patting the railway station cat. 😸
Loved the long video!! Zachary and I were in awe of the beautiful scenery and landscapes in Serbia. I loved watching the farming equipment around. Cheeky comment by the fat man at the end 😂
Charlie says" we are dust" but if you add water we could be mud. BTW have you thought of adding sealent in your tyres to stop the flats?
Yes the wheels we have are not tubeless ready however I would buy innertubes with slime if I could find them. In these countries I had to drill out the valve holes to fit 26" tyres with car valves as couldn't find 27" with presta valves. There is a common type of ground cover here that is totally covered in detachable woody thorns. You don't get a single thorn flat you get at least 3 or 4. Also the thorns break and sit in the tyre .... becoming fairly undetectable then when you pump up the tyre they only repuncture the intertube after its underload. It can be damn annoying 😒
@@adventuresofafatman 700c tyres are the most popular these days so finding other sizes can be a challenge. I had to throw away perfectly good tyre once coz there was something in it I couldnt find. You can buy sealent to put in the tubes but will need tubes with removable valves
Some of that looked comfortable. Some of that looked bloody hairy!
You could say that about most days on the bike ..... but it's always better to focus on the good bits
Beautiful journey
Another great video! The riding looked really enjoyable in this video, lots of roads, paths and beautiful scenery. The food stops also looked good haha! Burger king...
Doing a great job on the videos, I'll have to check out the mosaics of Budapest on google.
The rain and clouds added a layer of moodiness to the towns. So Pretty!! Would of been pretty wild to ride during a hail storm. Another great Video thank you :)
Looks stunning guys so jealous
It was actually much much nicer than the images we could capture with only a go pro..... sometimes nature really turns it on ..... the more we cycle the less I want to visit big cities and the more time I want to spend embracing the views nature supplies.
Great views on this stage and expansive description too from Charles. Well done
Charles is wonderful ❤️
Of course you would say that Charles ! @@adventuresofafatman
@@jillfry3256 I always stwte the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth
Doing a great job of getting me jealous. Europe is spectacular from the scenery to the ornate buildings. The kraken seems quite nice, nothing like a scary octopus
With the kraken looks can be deceiving she is truly terrifying on occasion. Just the other day I rode off ahead and she called me up dressed me up and down resulting in me immediately turning round and riding back so she could have her morning coffee. I totally agree with your statement about Europe, it's awesome. It's hard to express how great it is to cycle tour also how nice the great majority of drivers are if you have to use the roads. I could wax on and on about the difference from australia from the landscape, the cycle paths, the safety and accomadations for cyclists. I love Australia but for cycle touring give me Europe and the UK every time. Also the distances in Europe are not as daunting.
@@adventuresofafatman ha ha, I think us blokes need a slightly scary wife to keep us in line. The one advantage in Aust is in winter you can still get out on the bike most days.
@@randelscyclevlogperthwa7342 so true mate. Winter in brisbane is so beautiful, sunny without a clid in the sky 90% of the time also no wind. Does the doctor blow in winter in Perth?
@@adventuresofafatman The Freo Doctor doesnt make many visits in winter. Cold fronts come and go in Winter with lots of sunny days in between.
G'day! Where are you watching from today? #curious
G'day! Suddenly more people are watching my Lycian Way videos!?!? Are you planning to do the Lycian Way in 2023 or 2024? #curious #survey
G'day! Thanks for visiting my channel. Are you watching because you're going to Bali for the first time, or have you been before??? #curious #survey
Hi there! Thanks for visiting my channel. Where are you from???
Hi there! Thanks for visiting my channel. Where are you from???
Another great video!! Beautiful locations you guys get to visit ❤
Beautiful scenery ❤
Love u moggie......it was very beautiful more so than what we captured
Lovely !!!
But quite painful for poor Pj ..... you kinda forget that spain is extremely hilly
The funny thing was that all the tickets on the Grimaldi ferry had sold out, except for the remaining 'deck cargo' type ticket we were able to purchase. If faced with the same conundrum again, I'd rather try to convince the Fat Man to hitch hike on a container ship instead... it'd be more clean. 😆🐙⛴️ Or use a different ferry company. 🤔😬
GRüße aus Tunesien sende ich euch 😂❤ Radreise 1400km für Kids Donation Tour 2023 !!
Lovely VLOGs guys, my partner was wondering how you are doing your Schengen visa or did get a different visa?
Hi Conrad, The Kraken has residency but I only have a Schengen visa so that's how we roll. For example, at the moment we're riding out of the Schengen zone into Serbia to be out of the zone for a while so my 90 days don't run out.
