Really enjoyed watching this video, not long moved to the Dumfries and Galloway area and it's something I've been wanting to do for a while now, got the bike, just need to get a tent and going for a week appeals to me, couple of pints here and there and a good book for the night in the tent, seeing you guys all having a laugh ( which is what it's all about) has just made me more determined to do it, there's nothing stopping me so I'm definitely going to go for it, thanks for the video and the reassurance, all the best guys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚴👍

Thanks Stephen, it’s great fun and being a dark skies location just adds to the possibilities. Really pleased that you enjoyed it. Good luck.

Another great film, I stayed in Kirkcudright two weeks ago and rode the raiders gravel route from Markus Stitz Great British Gravel Rides.51 fabulous miles.

Thanks Ken. We had a good wee weekend down there a couple of weeks ago.

Fantastic video, thanks. For anyone heading to the Fleet Forest/Clatteringshaws area on Sat 16 Sept '23 there'll be some disruption due to the Galloway Hills Rally closing some of the forest roads so please be aware of that.

Thanks Graham, pleased that you enjoyed it and thanks for the heads up on next week’s Rally. 👏

Lovely video and nicely narrated keeping my interest up…Thanks for sharing. Little bit of constructive feedback - the music is a bit loud and makes your commentary difficult to hear. Beyond that, a great insight into the Dumfries and Galloway area for bikepacking 👍👍

[@specializeddoug]

Pleased that you enjoyed it. I think the sound varies with different devices but on my more recent videos I’ve reduced the music volume so hopefully that won’t be an issue going forward.

Old biker here, loved the video and the spectacular views. An English language translation would be nice.

🤣That’s me trying to tone my Glaswegian accent down too Michael.

Hi Doug, recent subscriber here and i have loved watching all your videos. Fingers crossed this one takes you over the magic 1000. Some feedback buddy,. Usually your voice overs are crystal clear but on this video the voice over audio is low and difficult to make you out without sharply increasing the volume. Then i need sharply decrease it else the background music is blasting out. It’s only the voice over bits as live audio during pieces to the camera are fine. I watched it on my Apple TV and my Sonos sound bar, same set up I watched your other videos on and they are all fine. Just thought I would let you know bud, in case you have tweaked something during post. Cheers.

Sorry about that and thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I found the sound quality poor too on our tv but on the laptop it was fine. Hopefully I’ll make the 1,000 mark 🤞🏻 and pleased that you’re enjoying the videos.
