Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere in this or another thread (can't remember where I saw it, but it got into my "watch later" playlist somehow). I thought it was well shot and edited (particularly for a solo trip). He talks a lot about endless hike-a-bike and bog sections, though there's some shots of some pretty nice looking riding too - it would be interesting to know what the actually split between these was, since presumably a higher proportion of the good stuff made the cut. Looks like he's travelling pretty light given the conditions and filming. Also, much less annoying than your average North American narrator

Aww poor show man, sorry to hear that.
Watching that will give you itchy feet for sure too.
It's not the end of the world I guess. In riding terms, there's not really any more restrictions, other than I couldn't theoretically go and ride with a mate (although if it was an "organised" ride I could ). It's not a great sacrifice in the grand scheme of things, just frustrating, particularly as we had friends visiting this weekend who won't be able to come now.
Unbranded - think Bikepacking but on horses, also discussed the situation they have in America with wild horses. Found it a great thoyght provoking watch
Couldn't find a link of the film but here's the trailerhttps://vimeo.com/ondemand/unbranded/14 ... autoplay=1

That was a longer film in the Banff Festival a few years ago. Great story.
Techno, thanks for the Bothy Life link! While she doesn't fancy dossing on the floor in a sleeping bag, Mrs Landslide could definitely see the attraction of holing up miles from anyone.

1hr 15mins, some friends agree to meet in florida. they buy a piece of sub standard boat and fix it up and then sail it to the dominican republic (cept they dont know how to sail). very good

I don't do much telly but I recommend 'Brothers Grimsby'. It's a brit comedy with a slighty dark or near to the knuckle edge to it.
Nearly laughed up a lung the first time I watched it, also goes by the UK title of ‘Grimsby’

Fairytale ending too, Trump gets AIDS.
Not one Grimsby accent in the film like.

^^ Just watched and rather enjoyed Hold Fast. Struck me as being pretty handy sailors.
moxie who stared in and made the film went on to create the 'Signal' app, like a more secure/nonfacebookowned version of whatsapp. signal's encryption method then got sold to whatsapp for an undisclosed amount. but im guessing he's no longer
