Last Video Of 2021 - My Year In Bikepacking

[Escape Goat]

Hi you lovely lot!

I've made the last video of the year skimming across some of my solo adventures and some multi-day adventures with great mates.

Despite a rocky start to the year, I still managed to pack in a lot of trips (leaving me with next to no annual leave until the new tax year) but it was incredible. I'm hoping to get just as much in next year. It's a big birthday next year, so I've got a big plan. Scared to admit it...yet.

Thanks everyone, I wouldn't be here without you all. The list is too long to mention everyone whos had such a positive impact in my life on and off this forum, so thank you - you know who you are.

Well done Allen for an enjoyable watch.
What sort of camera were you using for you general footage as opposed to the drone?

[Escape Goat]

Thanks for checking it out :)

I currently use
GoPro 9
DJI Mini 2
P30 Pro Phone

I want to change the phone now, so I'm unsure What to go for just yet.

Thanks again.

Fantastic scenery, Most get to wales next year myself.

[Escape Goat]

Thank you so much. Yes for sure, get on the winter event!

Nice one mate. Always impressed by how much tough downhill you do on a loaded ridged bike, and faster than me on my big old bouncer.

PS: I've finally built the new wheel for my OOF to fit that Lauf fork, and then decided the back end needed an upgrade too. Which I did today. If I can get the 1x12 SRAM GX to stop being so bleeding pernickety I might actually get out on it tomorrow.

Happy Christmas mate. You need to come over for the Chilterns Spring Thing in May next year and meet us soft southern Boners (Not Reg, he's hard as a coffin nail, he is). It's gonna be EPIC !!!!!

Hey Tim !

Thanks for watching I'm not sure how much of the downhilling is skill or gravity taking over, but I can't help but have fun on the downs. I appear to forget the bags are attached!!

Yeah I do need to get over, but May is always hard for me...but you never know!

Ooooh the fatty is going to be amazing mate !!

[Escape Goat]

Thanks for that. Yeah , the last fall took months to get over

[Verena]

Enjoyed that Allen - especially the first 15 seconds

I felt for you on that final fall

[Escape Goat]

Thanks very much :)

You can see the mess I ended up in here ; https://youtu.be/ZFZNnr-Zf5E?t=486

Great little video, really enjoyed watching that.

The fact that I watched to the end says it all (I usually get bored, and give up ).

[Escape Goat]

Well done for sticking it out mate !

Thanks again!

[benp1]

Nice vid mate, looks like you've had a fun year on the bike

[Escape Goat]

Thanks dude, yeah, I shouldn't really complain about any of it.

[thenorthwind]

Great watch Allen.

Makes me want to go ride my bike and plan adventures.

[psling]

Good round-up Allen, I've enjoyed watching your films through the year

[Escape Goat]

Ah thanks for watching more than one!!

Keith - just make more plans than you can ever fit in, then before you know it, they will start to become reality organically :)
