No particular destination in mind on this ride I’m attempting to reach Cannock chase from Gentle shaw common and back to Burntwood with using as few roads as possible, we see a few sights along the way meet a few people have some fun in unrestricted mode nave a play with the dji neo drone and see the air ambulance landed in a field and get a look around it and see it take off.. so lots to see in total we cover 26 miles, The ride will be split into however many videos it takes each one being 25 to 30 mins. I hope you enjoy the ride along with me, if you enjoy my videos please subscribe as it would be great to raise my subscriber numbers.
hi guys i must say it’s a really nice spot be a nice spot to come with the dogs if I could figure out how to get here walking [Music] but yeah nice spot sunglasses and the backpack back on [Music] yeah [Music] okay [Music] [Music] okay according to the meter on that battery that one’s still full according to the bike was still full now where do you want me to go are you serious go up that hill i’ve got a fly stuck in your glasses [Music] well looks like I’m going to get off get off again here anyway and get up there [Music] yeah that’s quite high [Music] [Music] you’re all right [Music] it does look like it wants to go up there i’m actually going to skirt around that looks a bit steep doesn’t it so we’re going to go this way wow [Music] it looks like this track takes me to the same place [Music] yeah so we’re still heading to the same place on the map guys just a slightly less incline of a route lovely open spot there [Music] [Music] we are on the same route by the way just we’re just following slightly along the side where I should be the route I should be taking is just over to the left but this is a bit less of an incline yeah it’s still an incline but [Music] We’ve just dropped one bar in battery but that’s to be expected with the amount of hills we’ve done today [Music] look at that view oh my god that is stunning look at that [Music] yeah so you can understand why the battery has dropped we’re on top of the world [Music] unbelievable [Music] like I say guys remember we are trying to do [Music] at least 95% of the route [Music] off road which is a good test for the mapping software that I use and a good test for the bike and a good test for the battery i do actually need to run the battery down which is another reason oh hello we’re not quite we’re not quite on the track we should be but there we go anyway yeah so the last few rides I’ve done I’ve ended up back home still with 100% battery and and it really doesn’t do it it really doesn’t do it any good to keep leaving the batteries in a high state of charge so I’m hoping to get down to at least 50% today oops and then leave it at that until next time I go out and charge it up just before I go out so it gets a chance to equalize itself out a bit now one thing I am going to check is that rear wheel that rear nut that fell off once do you remember no it’s still there still tight i actually reckon that was never put on properly um cuz when the bike arrived in the box the rear wheel was already on i only had to put on the front wheel and I don’t know whether you saw one of my upgrade videos I noticed the rear one of the rear nuts had completely disappeared obviously I’d never touched them with a spanner cuz wheel was already on um so I reckon it wasn’t tightened up properly at the factory since I’ve tightened it up we’ve done roughly the same amount of miles i think we’ done I think we’ done around 200 miles when I did that upgrade and the service and discovered that nut was missing and we’ve now done 700 um 417 so that’s what it tells me if it was going to come loose again it would have done that by now um so yeah I really want me to go bike this way I think [Music] [Music] [Music] apparently we’re going onto Camp Road which is here so it looks like we have got some roads [Music] i did notice there was some roads that I could not avoid [Music] [Music] okay we are still on restricted so we can actually cruise down here at 25 30 mph quite happily [Music] i’ve only got it in assist four which is keeping me at about 25 [Music] that is nice though I must admit [Music] yeah assist four in unrestricted is 25 which I think is actually a nice a nice speed i’m not holding the cars up as much [Music] not going to keep with that Porsche am I it’s very windy down here i doubt very much you can hear it because every time I say that you can’t hear it i must say this mic mini with this little um fluffy wind deflector thing does seem to work but I can hardly hear myself right now and I’m sure you can hear me and probably can’t even hear the wind [Music] [Music] [Music] you know I’m sure I could have been just cycling up there off the road [Music] so I think this is a boo boo on my part or I could have just shifted the route to the left slightly i don’t know what happened to the calf that I um programmed in that seems to be I’ve either missed it or it’s further along the route [Music] oh hello track track going in the same direction as road we’ll have some of that [Music] so I’m taking this is this is brindly heath I assume [Music] one [Music] Okay ah yes yep what a route ha yeah woo out of there road goes that way let’s have a look on this map see where we’re heading okay I see [Music] do you know what i think if we [Music] Let’s have a little look here i think we don’t need to go back on that road [Music] how’s that go i know it is but I want to go this way i don’t want to go back on that road this is the no road challenge and this is nice [Music] i’m literally just following the map there guys or trying to stay close to where the map says I need to be [Applause] [Music] and I’m having too much fun to go on the roads [Applause] [Music] see there’s a big track down there [Music] i’m now going the wrong way guys i’m going back on myself so let’s see if we cover let’s see where this goes oh I do love the exploring i do look at this nice little spot how cute oh look we can cut down here get on that track [Music] ha love it okay nice spot nice route [Music] i don’t know where we are guys i mean [Music] is this still canning chase who knows route seven okay [Music] if I go there I’m going to be back on the road so quick consultation i think if I go up there up that hill over there [Music] I’ll end up in the same place let’s do it [Music] i do need to check the battery on this camera soon for all I know it could have stopped whoa okay that was a bit sideways [Music] [Music] we are still following the road or close to the road the road is over there [Music] [Music] right let me just check the battery on this camera [Music] [Music] yeah we’re down to one bar um which is okay for a bit i will have to stop soon and change the battery yeah we are we are recording in 2.7K i don’t record in 4K by the way guys cuz the memory card only gives me 2 hours of recording and it flattens the battery a lot quicker so I actually do that in editing i upscale it to from 2.7 to 4 we are still following that road the road actually branches to the right here and we’re branching with it she’s telling me that the road’s 250 y to my left right [Music] now we are going away from the road so I might have to assess the map again yeah we’re starting to go back on ourselves [Music] [Music] i need to have a a little look here yeah we’re heading out so I can’t get [Music] actually [Music] [Music] Okay I’m going to have to go back on that road for a very short time because if I carry on that way I’m just going to hit farmer’s fields and not be able to go in the direction I actually want to Go [Music] whoa god it looks like if I go this way I eventually end up back on that road that’s the way we came down [Music] [Music] it’s like I got about 100 yards or so of this and then we end up back on that road that’s a nice That’s a nice pad look at that oh what’s this [Music] yeah guys I’ve stayed in helmet mode it actually once you get used to it it’s fine um you can feel a bit of extra weight on the helmet but not a lot [Music] and if it makes the videos better than the fixed mount which I’m not going to know until I um get home and see the footage i hope it’s usable i’m sure it will be so I need to go back on this road for a short amount of time let this car come down and there’s a car coming up okay looks good so there’s that nice stables and little bungler [Music] [Music] i like the hello [Music] right kick it back up into decent gear the car behind me grindley Village [Music] you know I will say I’ve had a thoroughly enjoying ride today bit of road bit of off-road [Music] okay we dropped Another battery bar we now got three out of five [Music] [Music] we’re not a million miles from home now well we’re quite away but not a million miles heat heat [Music] now I know from past experience that this is a real pain in the bum to get [Music] not bad not bad [Music] hello hold on a minute hello so the the map was having a bit of a moment then i think it was cuz we’re under all these trees [Music] ow [Music] [Music] right I’m just going to pull over here a minute nice little spot the only reason I’m stopping guys is to change the um battery in this camera and make sure it hasn’t moved so you’re not just looking at the floor hopefully in fact we’ll link to that No [Music] it really is clever stuff [Music] just turning my phone sideways i know it looks like it’s still positioned dropped slightly actually it up a bit [Music] making better [Music] [Music] okay how much battery we got left not a lot it’s empty right so yeah yeah i can show you again how it works [Music] i’m going to stop here change this back
