I take a short ride along part of the trail 55 Newport to Stafford on my E-bike
[Music] welcome back to e boew [Music] woohoo well I’m bringing you on a a short trip today I’ve uh I’ve actually traveled let’s have a look almost 10 m just over 9 Mile I’ve done to get to this position so I’ve got about just over 90% of my battery and this is a route that goes from Newport to Stafford which is about 12 mil now I’m only going to be doing about four or 5 miles along here cuz I’ve got a sorts uh oh that’s a nice Bridge let’s just pull up here I’ve got to sort out make sure I’ve got enough battery power to get home I’m just going to pull up here cuz I think there a nice photo shoot there so I’m just going to pull up here because I brought my camera with me today let’s have a look so yeah I I’ve been on me bike about an hour I’ve done about just over 9 Mile to get here so yeah I’ve got a guest to make to make sure I’ve got enough battery to get back so just grab the camera just be in for a moment [Music] n nah nah [Music] [Applause] [Music] a [Music] [Music] [Music] thank you cheers so yeah this is the tra from Newport to Stafford let’s have take a look see what we can see little picnic bench there it’s see better days mine I’m not sure if this was an Old Railway I think it might have been actually the old TR trucks yeah I brought some uh sandwich with me today uh I have to be a little bit careful cuz I am diabetic so I got myself some O Coffee uh a nice brown bread ham sandwich uh I’ve not eaten much today so I I do have to be careful I had a poached egg on Brown toast this morning and then I just had a small full fat yogurt before I come out just to give me that little bit of energy and knowing that I was going to be having a sandwich or was out so I just have to keep keep that in mind cuz as you diabetics know as you exercise you burn that often you can your sugar levels can drop so I have to be careful of that I usually manage it quite well so and I can tell if it starts to go low I do also have some dextro tablets for me as well just in case I get caught out I keep them in me bike all the time well this is a pleasant ride through I’ve always seen it because there’s some supermarkets back at the start of the trail there and we come shopping there quite a lot and I’ve seen this Trail and thought oh that that would be nice to just come down and have a look but it being about 10 m away it’s not something you can just jump on your bike and go so I’ve had to plan it a bit for today it’s Friday the 1st of November is it I is the 1st of November it was Halloween last night woohoo uh I’ve been off all week holiday oh not holiday a break from work but today the only chance I’ve had to get out on the bike the weather was looking okay no sunshine but no rain which is a plus so I kind of planned it for today but this is a nice troll if you live in the area and Sh here in the Newport area this isn’t looking like a a nice little Trail for a walk or a bike ride I did read it does get narrow in places oh we got another Bridge here look look at this love these old bridges look at this that’s Bridge number two take the photo on the way back of that one I if it’s connecting a road or it Farmers Fields I can’t tell from here so don’t forget guys if you like what you’re seeing I know I haven’t uploaded recently but that’s work issues but yeah please give us a thumbs up subscribe it’s free doesn’t cost anything d the Bell if you want notifications of any other up and coming videos and it just opens up a little bit yeah like I say I’m only going to do a few mile down here because I’ve got to guesstimate my battery back I mean it’s now saying I’ve only got 88% which is good oh the whole building there there oh what’s this okay that’s might be a little spot to stop for a moment I can’t see it from there it looks like some old ruins that might mean I uh just take my little drone up let’s have a look shall we okay let’s just turn that [Music] off here we go uh right Okay so so we move on couldn’t really see what I saw from the a bit further down there was like a old ruin or something there yeah I’ve been contemplating on a new camera and I’ve been SE it for a while I might even get a little drone another drone cuz my little lava drone is great but like there I was limited to how far it could go out on manual mode so probably uh one of these new DJI um the little mini ones I might get one of those but this is a a lovely route for a cycle ride cuz the majority of the way here I’ve been on on roads on cycle pass along main roads and being Friday afternoon the Drone of cars going past it’s just nice I haven’t clipped me arm on just nice to uh get into some silence silence there a nice little bench cuz i’ be looking to stop and have my uh that might be a spot I might do that on the way back unless I spot something better it is a little bit chilly uh I have got my gloves but I got them off because I’m jumping on and off and pressing buttons and stuff so but yeah I’ve had a change of jobs in the last couple of months about I’ve been there about two months in fact I say I’ve been there two months I’ve actually been for the same place for over 7 years it’s just my jobs changed and whereas I used to work parttime I’m now back fulltime so that’s partly to do with why I haven’t had to many uh videos over the last few weeks it’s getting the time to do it but I’ll sort it out I’ll get there so yeah it’s uh it’s a little bit busier I didn’t really intend to start go back full time but it was just a situation that arose and you know it’s fitted in okay so I’m back fulltime at the moment whereas I was getting out on me bike in the daytime and the it a bit more limited now plus I used to go to work on my bike and I I really can’t go on my bike at the moment because I need my vehicle cuz I have to go between two buildings which is like 10 15 M mile you know drive and I need my vehicle so I have to go in my in my car now whereas I used to go in bik there’s the odd occasions I have to nip back I can uh I can jump on my bike oh there’s a little uh wonder where that goes there’s a tur in there oh is is it a foot path yeah oh yeah there’s a rug there huh that’s interesting another the route I’m down to 85% on my on my battery I’m looking about 70% and then I’ll s head back I know I’ll have plenty but you just have to be safe this would be lovely on a summer’s day down here yeah this about 12 M it goes all the way to Stafford I mean if I live more local you know might easily do that that would be great yeah but one thought is I I’ll get a a cycle rack for my car so I can get out and do different routes and stuff but they’re so expensive so you know I have to I would have to plan for that think I can see another bike in the [Music] distance I don’t know he’s walking his dog I thought he was on a [Music] bike a lovely walk with your dogs for sure so yeah this is my little spot uh and the uh a sandwich I’ve been out about hour and half yeah it’s 5 3 I come out about 1 typical autumn day nice chup of coffee Liv my sandwich oh that’s lovely so yeah I’ll spend 10 15 minutes here look at the view out to the fields there is a road there that leads to Newport and Stafford just to the other side of the field so you might just be picking up the vehicles you can hear but what a lovely place to spot uh stop and there’s all little benches along this TR great views I guess I’ve only come about 3 Mile maybe 3 Mile 4 Mile maybe not yeah about 3 Mile I think from the start but this is where I’m going to turn around and head back but this is definitely a route I’m going to have to the whole route that’s something I was going to mention is EO insurance I actually thought today just before I come out that we we’ve just uh recently changed our vehicle our car and I’ve only ever broken down once on the like I had a puncher on the xf800 I was at work I got to work I had to walk about half a mile to get to work I got the punching just before I got there um anyway I found my wife to come and pick the bike up and we did get it in the car that was a bit of a struggle we got it in but the car we’ve got now is a lot smaller and I would not get I wouldn’t even get the over in there so I was thinking about is there anybody like um you know pick you up if you break down so I search I am with the AA so I I found them and asked them and they said no they don’t do it then I found another company I guess there’s load them more I’m just trying to think what they’re called see if I can see the email anyway yes they do but they also do insurance as well I think to recovery which included having punches uh and stuff like that was something like24 a year I think however I thought I’d look at the insurance see if I can see them that’s it ETA they’re called ETA anyway for 12 months Insurance Plus recovery total I think it was £86 don’t quote me it was 80 something 886 so I’ve taken that I took it out although it doesn’t cover the recovery doesn’t cover me for another 24 hours so I hope I don’t break down on the way back cuz that is a long way back home I took the risk so yeah if if you’re in the UK ETA have a look like I thought 86 quid was reasonable uh unless if my bik gets stolen or I think there’s up to ,000 of any equipment that stole off the bike as well again don’t quote me uh go and take a look if you haven’t got insurance already and you might tell me there’s even cheaper ones out there but I’ll took that one I paid for it so my bike’s all covered which is great news the only thing I haven’t done is put it on the bike register my xf800 is on the bike register um so I need to do that as well which is a good idea if you’re go and have a look at the website the bike Rister uh I can’t remember the name of the the side but I’m sure if you put bike registering in in the UK this is uh it’ll come up with the details I mean it’s been two years ago since I did that one so it’s really worth looking into it’s oh lovely am eight gam again if you’re in the shop area in Wellington if you go to Wellington uh which is part of tord uh a butcher called anon’s oh lovely butchers and they baked down it’s superb yeah it’s quarter p 3 so hour and a half it’s going to be starting well in an hour or so it’s going to start to get dark but my light to be going on when I get to the road down there and back bring you along this TR if into walk in or your bik walking your dog near in nles in sh to UK sorry if I’m talking for on my um xf800 I wouldn’t have uh attempted this ride I would have come to Newport on B which I have done but to do this extra I mean I could probably do another five mile that way and then and get back as well but it’s better to be safe I’m sorry hello mate you all right yeah it’s bit cold now yeah yeah don’t think it’s dry yeah although I’m a diabetic I got me some chocolate biscuits everything in moderation fre biscuits however over the last well since January February time I’ve actually lost nearly full stone and that’s got to be down to the bike well that’s part of it uh which is going to help my diabetes I have known for a long time well a long time 10 years that I’ve had I’ve been diabetic it’s all about everything in moderation I know me having a chocolate biscuit or three that right back will burn that off without any issue is [Music] [Applause] [Music] well folks that’s it I’m getting to
