Quite enjoyed that ta

No problem., Don't take themselves too seriously do they

Certainly dont seem to. Looks a laugh. (apart from the bit with 4 tents for 8 lads )

I love this one, you may do too

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

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

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.

Inspiring stuff. It's good to keep things in perspective .

Long way up is on Apple TV

Really quite interesting (once you get past their electric charging anxieties...) watching this series.

Loved long way/down round by the two of them (did you know Ewan was in Star Wars...? )

Kapp to Cape on Amazon prime. https://www.amazon.co.uk/kapp-to-cape/d ... 9/ref=nodl_

4 part series, watched the first two, pretty good series about cycle touring from Norway to Cape Town.

maybe i posted this already, cant remember...

Hold Fast

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

Nearly laughed up a lung the first time I watched it, also goes by the UK title of ‘Grimsby’

^^ Just watched and rather enjoyed Hold Fast. Struck me as being pretty handy sailors.

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

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
