Outstanding! You've really knocked it out of the park this time, Greg. Had me smiling all the way through :-).

[@adventurespec]

Glad you enjoyed it Jim!

[@webmonkeyuk]

Can't quite find the words to express how much I enjoyed this video. The feelings of adventure, camaraderie and a load of ribbing all came through so well in such a brilliantly put together video. I rode something really close to this route on two group trips 10+ years ago on an XR600R and recognised a bunch of the locations. That made it resonate with me all the more so, I made some memories for life on those trips. I just want to get out on a bike with some good friends now!

[@adventurespec]

What a great review! Thanks so much for watching James! :-)

[@atprodT700]

Hi everyone, TET Spain is a great playground. Nice adventure. Why didn't you come with the AJP PR7?

[@adventurespec]

Thanks! You can find out more about Greg's reasons not to take the PR7 here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWTHh6R8rMSErq8

[@AlexFBuchholzPhoto]

This is how you tell a story of a great adventure. Beautifully done.

[@adventurespec]

Thanks for watching

[@mikewilkinson3997]

Great stuff, great mates! If i lived in the UK still i'd have been riding with you guys... I listened to the banter on the TAMP podcast too. ;)

[@adventurespec]

Thanks Mike!

[@cheersbuh]

Ah; saw Will on a cold sunny morning at Jim Aimes, in for final prep before your trip. Looks great

[@MonkeyofAwesome]

As an owner of a 310GS, you don’t know how happy it makes me that one of the crew has a 310GS.

[@adventurespec]

Yep! He loves it!

[@fairdinkum9454]

These ten days could easily have been a three to four part series. We would all love to se that, the antics, the chemistry in the group, and the fantastic photos and filming 🙏🏻

[@adventurespec]

We have loads of footage from this trip! We'll be sharing on our IG as well, if you follow us on there! instagram.com/adventure.spec

[@HaroldMasong]

Hi there nice video. Would like to ask what camera you used for taking your photos? Thanks in advance

[@adventurespec]

Hi there, I'll need to double check with Greg!

[@gaplife3611]

Hi, really enjoyed watching your trip looked amazing. What tyres did you use on your KTM exc Thanks.

[@adventurespec]

Thanks for watching. We'll have to check with the rider!

[@CarparkCarl]

Fantastic and inspiring as always! Glad you lads got your spanish adventure eventually!

[@adventurespec]

Thanks for watching!

[@ajburgs8791]

I love motorbikes and motorbike adventure, but the best KZbin videos use this a backdrop to show mates having a laugh and living the dream... You nailed it (again) with this video !!!!!!.... can I come on the next one? Pretty please lol

[@adventurespec]

Ha! Glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@richardchang9740]

Australia Rep!! Come visit us one day! :D

[@adventurespec]

Love to!

[@pollitt11]

Great work. Also what excellent photos!

[@KevinMaschke1]

Absolutely loved this. I recently drove from London to Mallorca through France, and back to London via North Spain and Bilbao. I didn't do the TET because I've yet not got any experience off-road and was travelling alone. But trips like this is what I want to do. Just need to find the right group of friends. Do you guys take applications to ride with you? :O

[@adventurespec]

Thanks Kevin. Join the TET group on FB! We'll wait for your application :D

[@ownyourworld]

Do you guys ever take other riders along with you ? I’m getting sick of solo trips 👍🏻

[@adventurespec]

Check out the Facebook TET group, we all chat on there!

[@joepphoto]

as a professional photographer I just wanted to say how great the pictures were you took during the trip.

[@adventurespec]

Thank you!

[@selfy007]

Love it and it makes me wanna go riding the T.E.T. asap thanks for sharing

[@adventurespec]

That's what we like to hear 👌

[@duncana5336]

Another great video Greg. Can’t wait to get back to the Spanish TET myself.

[@adventurespec]

Thanks for watching!

[@mbravorus]

as long as it's only the prop broken, it's not a biggie :) broke the gimbal on my DJI Spark and had to replace it myself only to find it you gotta recalibrate it, too! (possible but not trivial at all)

[@adventurespec]

Yes indeed recalibrating is a skill in itself!

[@StefanHeerd]

So inspiring! Wish I had such fantastic friends to ride with - landscape of the Pyrenees is simply amazing. I love it! Video must have been a lot of work - pretty good job - thank you.

[@adventurespec]

Thanks for checking it out! And if you're looking for more people to ride with here's our TET group on FB: facebook.com/groups/Transeurotrail.org

[@gary9768]

That was such a great watch 👌👌What type of body armour were ye using for this type of trip?

[@adventurespec]

Hi Gary, thanks for watching! We were in www.adventurespec.com gear

[@gnarlybadger690]

Great Memories Greg, and enjoyable viewing.We are living in halcyon days with the freedom that the Trans Euro Trail brings us. It's there just for the taking freely given and you're right it needs to be cherished

[@adventurespec]

Thanks Peter. Yes we agree on that!

[@TheBigBraap]

Pahaaa, it was like the falling of christ in front of me🤣 aww Noel- great stuff guys, captures what were all looking for...adventure👌

[@adventurespec]

😂 glad you liked it, thanks for checking it out!

[@bauzinho6966]

Brilliant movie guys! Fantastic pictures and shots of fabulous trails. Just came back after riding a week on the TET in the Picos and then over to Huesca and Sierra de Guara and recogised a few of the sections- stunning views and riding. I was on my own on my CRF250L and met Owen from Lewisham on his 660 Tenere just off the ferry and we rode the TET together for a week. As you said- it makes friendships and memories.

[@adventurespec]

Thanks for watching!

[@QuantockAndy]

Most excellent boys adventure..well I say "boys...."!

[@adventurespec]

Thanks!

[@wesb9805]

anyone know exactly where those roman ruins are? would love to check them out

[@adventurespec]

They were following the Spanish TET route, I would need to check with the riders if they recorded this exact location though!

[@controlpestukltd]

very good as always guys. makes me want jump on the bike- a route to add to the list! really enjoyed the Greg abuse lol

[@adventurespec]

😂 glad someone did! Thanks for watching

[@any2wheels380]

Great video…!! Really encapsulated the essence of adventure riding. Thanks

[@adventurespec]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamesprecious1035]

Beautifully done Greg. Super nice flow and great moments captured. Thanks again for your constant inspiration.

[@adventurespec]

Thanks for that James, much appreciated

[@Yangvar]

That is a banger of a video! What a ride!

[@adventurespec]

Thanks for watching!

[@flash_b_3602]

Absolutely brilliant! Great to watch 👏👏👏

[@brucet1467]

I loved the dialogue of the roman village! Hilarious comparison to how the random lady is happy now but would have been not happy a long time ago lol

[@francofranchetti]

Thanks for bringing me memories of gas at 1.79eur/L. Those were the days!

[@markstrawbridge9133]

great trip boys but i take it i could do that part you've done on my ducati 1200 enduro?

[@adventurespec]

Thanks Mark, I'd say so!

[@clivebarber]

You might struggle on day one if it's wet. Easily resolved, just ride east on the road from the ferry, for about 60-80 miles then jump on the TET.

[@MrPX207]

Best video yet! I'm off to southern Spain (via Le Shuttle) in August, altho I'll be in my van not in the bike! This video has given me some great ideas for that trip and a future bike trip 👍🏻

[@adventurespec]

Good to read! Glad you enjoyed it and have a fun trip 😁

[@Ride2Xplore]

Amazing video and storytelling!That bmw 310 seems to be a very capable bike!

[@adventurespec]

Great to read, thanks for watching!

[@michaelpfister3572]

Awesome li'l film, Greg. Love your photography! That black 'n white sheep shot at 2:14 is epic.. One day you might even share how you pack that monster camera on that tiny bike... Looking forward for more vids from you. Cheers...

[@adventurespec]

Thanks for checking it out Michael, and the video idea. There's a knack to it 😂

[@michaelpfister3572]

@@adventurespec I won't miss that one 😁

[@duncanbirrell4881]

Fantastic video. I have the desire to do it in October. Would you be able to share your route, or section of the TET you did. I met you at ABR, I have the KTM 500 EXC f which I rode down from Edinburgh and you've inspired me with your 450!

[@adventurespec]

Great to meet you too Duncan! We basically went east on the Spanish TET from Santander. We missed out a few chunks near the ferry and made sure we got to the desert area and then headed up to the mountains. - Greg

[@c3h4organic97]

Wow. What a great film and what a great bunch of friend. That's the kind of experience, someone will never forget. Shared with firends you can trust and rely on. Love your fotos, film, cut and the music selection. Thank you!

[@adventurespec]

Thank you! Yes it really was great fun

[@nu77byte49]

Love your vids when you coming to Oz :)

Thanks!

OOOhh, Greg, what an awesome Film you guys put together! Excellent and a joy to watch!

[@adventurespec]

Thanks so much!

[@cpierce213]

Oh KZbin... Why did it take me, ME!, a huge fan and subscriber, weeks to see this? Tsk Tsk... Seriously though, you guys are the bestest and I would do horrible things to bunny rabbit's to get to go with you guys on one of these adventures. I'm so glad you guys get to do it together. It looks like you enjoy it so much and are so happy. Congrats on another great trip!

[@adventurespec]

Thanks for watching Chris! Glad you enjoyed it. Maybe we'll meet in the future - minus the bad things to bunny rabbit's 😂

[@SMCTrials]

Great film. We are heading to Oliana in September and it looks like the TET from Santander to Andorra will take us all the way there. We only have 2 days to get to Oliana though so not sure how much we will get done

[@adventurespec]

That will be a great trip David, happy riding!

[@macalaman]

You are all awsome guys, I love your trips, your friendship and jokes. Keep doping it. I am starting from a little while, after spending my life behind things that, except a few ones, all the rest were boring life.

[@adventurespec]

Good to read! Thanks for watching

Excellent video guys, it was great to be along for the ride!! Great scenery and terrain too..oh and some nice filming/editing and photos 📷 👌 Cheers, Steve

[@sanatandharma4435]

Excellent! I just had a days ride in Cantabria on a mutt mongrel. ( Guided tour) ( I live in Asturias!) A great day, up mountains, gravel and roads. A wonderful place to be.

[@adventurespec]

Sounds great

[@guyonacub4335]

I still think Noel was pushed off his bike And Yes He is the best rider

[@clivebarber]

He wasn't and he isn't!!! (Actually he is, but don't tell anybody)

Fun video! It took me a minute to find it on your channel; might want to change the title and thumbnail to be a bit more eye-catching :)

[@adventurespec]

Done! Let's see if this one is any better. Thanks for the feedback :-)

[@gqren0]

Nothing beats the first time, but this was top-notch stuff none the less - thanks Greg + lads, loved it.

Fantastic bit of memories there Greg. I think we all sense the humour and camaraderie in the group. Amazingly shot, edited and presented as usual.

Love these videos you make! They really are some of the best on KZbin both in quality and entertainment!

Thanks Ollie 🙌

[@stevia13]

Hi Greg 😊 .. here's a question for you. Given you had to ride from the north of England to the south to catch a ferry, what was the tyre wear like on the knobbies by the time you got down there? Did they last the full trip, or did any of you have to put on some new rubber to get to the end of the trip and back home? All the best, Stevie A 👍

[@adventurespec]

Hi Stevie - Greg here! I used Motoz Extreme Hybrid on the rear and Motoz Rall Z on the front. For this trip we used a van to get from the north to south of England, then rode onto the ferry. In my experience this tyre setup up works really well and gives a lot of life. Easily 3000 miles plus.

[@gliderklajdkl]

Who is that idiot making fun of trying to drive someone off the cliff, and on purpose riding so close that another rider is falling over? with friends like that, I wouldn't need any enemies... !

[@adventurespec]

It was all good fun in the end. :-)

Hi. I know it’s a year ago, but what Nolan (white) does Noel have? I would like one but can’t find the same model atm. Thanks

[@brandonellis2982]

Hey Greg, great wee film - looked awsome. What size bikes were you guys on. Am thinking of hitting that area next year but wondering what the “off camera” sections were like and if my 1090AR would be a bit too lumpy. Reckon it’d be fine for what you’ve shown hence the question about what wasn’t? 🤪😂👍

[@adventurespec]

250 to 690's and everything in between. More info on the bikes coming soon.

*aqueduct I would presume…

[@bikenavbm1229]

I kinda disagree with your final statement, the trails and their access is certainly a precious thing, the TET its kinda like a gun the gun does not cause the problem its the fingers on the triggers but too many guns out there, there will be problems. From the UK too and love N Spain riding and recognise a fair bit of your images but as an old head trailrider TET????? is it really needed by trailriders? a great thing for commercial interests in the game though.

[@adventurespec]

Thanks for watching and sharing your point, everyone has their own ideas about this so we're sharing what works for us here

[@Sdragos86]

Great video guys! Amazing gang, love the vibe you guys have! Do you have a gpx with the entire track? What is the location at 13:40? 👏🏻💪🏻
