Cycle Touring California: Wild Camping in San Francisco (4K)

I set up my tent in a dark, misty park between the airport and San Francisco on my first night Cycle Touring in California. The sun was illuminating the bay and the Pacific when I started hiking with my bike over San Bruno Mountain. I spent the afternoon riding in the Marin Hills watching clouds conceal and reveal the Golden Gate Bridge before camping by an old fort on a clifftop.

Nice stealth camping. I'm traveling on my bike and Amtrak and I'm in San Francisco right now. I'm staying in hotels and hostels but stealth camping is a great way to save money. 👍

Yeah, it's pretty satisfying when you find a good spot too! Enjoy!

Really enjoying this video David, especially the "sneaking around", what a beautiful area only seen the Bridge from a plane. Look forward to your next video and also catching up on your back catalogue 🙂 4k video is amazing like you are actually there! Happy Trails

Thanks Kane! Haha, yeah, the sneaking around is the best part!

I’ve just come across your channel and thoroughly enjoying your videos. I’ve done a lot of backpacking around California and stayed in a hostel near the GGBridge at fisherman’s wharf some years back. If I remember correctly the fog horns are on Alcatraz island. Is that a Kona sutra? Just got one myself and love it. I was hoping to do the trans-America cross country route this May but have had to postpone due to illness in the family. I’m planning a shorter trip instead doing the length of the outer Hebrides and possibly returning on the Caledonia Way. Regards, Carl. Scotland.

Hi Carl, thanks for watching! Yes, it's a Kona Sutra. I got it a few years ago and am still very happy with it. Shame about the America trip falling through, but the Scotland trip sounds amazing!
