Bikepacking the Scottish Borders Pt 1 - Tweed Valley and Southern Upland Way

[@glendaandthepinkwarrig]

Sweet. I bikepacked the SUW about 20 years ago. Brought back some memories.

[@TerraVenture]

Nice to hear, we are keen to return and do the full route some day!

[@glendaandthepinkwarrig]

@@TerraVenture it was quite an expedition. I live in Dunbar so I had that carrot dangling to get me home from Portpatrick.

Thanks Joey, we had some fun in the second day too! Descending some of the Trail centre red trails with all our luggage was a laugh!

Nicely edited vid. Looks a cool adventure, subbed for more!

[@TerraVenture]

Thanks Pete, much appreciated!

[@Leigh_thompsett]

Awesome video! Many thanks for sharing your adventures, and happy new year! 😁

[@TerraVenture]

Thanks 🙌, same to you and we have a few good trips lined up in '22!

[@kenprice1047]

I Really enjoy your videos. Awesome scenery, great music and you guys are tough and don’t appear to be bothered by anything! Thanks for sharing!

[@TerraVenture]

Thanks Ken, we are fortunate to live. With all these places on our doorstep and to both enjoy getting out there even if it can be a bit of a challenge at times!

[@johngrattan6343]

Truly excellent channel. What's your bike set-up?

[@TerraVenture]

Thanks for the kind words John. We hope to get back to videos soon. We ride two Pipedream Moxies. They are the original Mk1 which is now even more aggressive geometry. The closest match now would be the Sirius. We use 160mm Rockshox Pikes, though we only have these bikes so they have to do everything. Rest of kit is s from AcePac.

Thank you Stuart

[@AllenBoardman]

Great video guys! I think you'll see me at some point of 2022 with a handlebar spread like that 🤣 Thanks for sharing, looking forward to part 2. -Allen

[@TerraVenture]

It's worth that little extra effort for having a good reward after some good hills!

[@AllenBoardman]

@@TerraVenture oh aye, it is. I usually take fine cheese, sausage, steak, all sorts 😂

[@br5380]

The Captains Road start has improved big time since we did it (probably 5-7 years ago) - boggy mess then.

[@TerraVenture]

Yes there is an old trail which looked like marsh and a new one just along which wasn't so much in the dip of the valley.
