Great Western Trail (TET UK) off road camping trip by bike - PART 3

[@jimwood1068]

Hey Mark. Loved these 3 vids. Cheers. Gave a really good view of the TET there. You're sense of humour tickled me too. 👍🏻

[@cooper1258]

Enjoyed the three uploads re TET trip. Thanks for taking the time to do it. I'm planning similar trips in Wales myself but wild camping

[@jimkleijnen332]

Wow what a ride. That canyon section was beautiful.

[@The_Arby]

Cool ride on the 701 Mark :-) You never know what's around the next corner in life's mystery adventures...That's why we do it :-)

[@MrTeriyakiman]

Excellent series. I think you just motivated me to take a week off work and give the GWT a go on my 790. Thanks Mark!

[@irishflyer6377]

Thank you for sharing your adventure and some great insight to the route. You were totally right not to try that climb, when I got one wrong I broke a collar bone and three ribs which sure ruins a good day.

[@cmwhw]

Fab vids. Loved all 3. And I appreciated your summary of the route; (great to Lyme Regis - beyond that gets overgrown). Exactly the kind of wisdom I need as am planning to do some TET on a big bike. Cheers Mark

[@tshansen]

I don't know how experienced you are, but taking a second think trough... walk up/down and evaluate the obstacle are much cooler than smash your head because of stupidity :-) And a great reminder to all of us watching this! Thank you :-) Great trip, if you ever consider the Norwegian TET give me a shout :-P

[@SHates]

Great breakdown of the new route. Wish I was closer to and had time to get out on the TET.

[@waynecompton7612]

Good Afternoon Mark, Thank you for the video!! And some of the scenery was beautiful!! Like you said Lands End is to commercialised it’s disappointing,because years ago you could just walk to the edge. Take care 👍😎🇬🇧.

[@mikethomas5861]

Great little series 🎉

[@AlexKavanagh29x]

Great set of videos. Looks like you enjoyed yourself. Wish I could ride that well. And yes, rice is the go to for electronics which have taken a dip. Look at the size of dry rice vs cooked rice; lots of water gets absorbed, so rice in a sealed bag with electronics will lower the humidity in the bag and dry out the electronics.

Thank's again for the uploads Mark, real quality stuff, Good to see you safe and sound, and more subscribers catching on to your channel, I'm sold on the A/S jacket for sure now...looking forward to your future productions, regards to Jenna and the kids PS Thank God for Old Wives 😂😂😂Cheer's Tony K.

[@nikspring4188]

Very informative and entertaining. Thanks Mark!

[@shaunrenwick]

Great! Thank you Mark. Shows that lone riding isn't the demon people say it is, as long as you keep thinking.....

[@gregmather1702]

Nice little mini series there. New subscriber look forward to seeing more content.

[@biscuitsalive]

Would you choose a 701 for 2021 of u were buying today. (I want to do some of the TET and tootle around Cornwall) I’m a pretty new rider.

[@GregVillalobos]

Really enjoyed this Mark. :-)

[@shaungrenfell189]

Thanks for a great series of videos.

[@gurtsmunta1]

Didn’t realise there were so many trails ,iv done some fully loaded with camping gear on my 20 year old dr125 which has over 40,000 miles on it taking in simms hill and fingle bridge sections used in the Exeter trial that polished rock with the dirt makes life interesting but the old girl aced it all the way from the Isle of Wight.

[@nigeld9859]

Great vid's and good insight into the trail

[@Paul-hu3zr]

Super video Mark. Much appreciated.

[@cliffordwells2793]

Wow picking up my voge 300 rally today... looking to do some light trails first. Then maybe take on some of the TET. APART, from old wife's try a little servisol 10 spray on the drone...it helps!!

[@Merc-Rover]

Loved watching the 3 videos. It looks interesting to say the least. I do worry about the TET becoming too popular and attracting the wrong sort of attention from the locals and farmers.

[@Merc-Rover]

@@MarkLewisfitness I agree. If it becomes a moto x test track it'll disappear overnight. There's enough bad press about green lanes.

[@davidhyde2267]

Brilliant! Just found your channel..and the tet...now looking for a husky...

[@deanminiken]

Hey Mark, did you end up doing the shorter trip with Jenna? As a CRF rider too, I'd like to know her thoughts on the trip please.

[@therealphilistein]

Nice videos as usual Mark, and spot on review. Come back to Wales, we have the best trails. :D

[@fletcherunwin]

Great mini series, really enjoyed watching it! would you say the first bit as far as Lime Regis is big bike friendly? (R1200 GSA)

[@elennel12345]

Brilliant vids. I’m guna do it on my tenere 660 with my mrs on her Himalayan.

[@MikeBarnacIe]

Been living and riding in Devon for 4 years. I’d agree but would head back up to north Devon.... skip Cornwall! Also, summer is a killer for brambles, Autum/winter gives you less bush to battle.

[@boboneleg]

Thanks for that, really enjoyable.

[@themicroadventurefilmproje9011]

Loved it, great series!! Keep it up!! 👍 ps...how's Dennis? 🤣

[@davidpinches5355]

Hi Mark, thanks for the great trip report 👍 what make and model was the jacket you were wearing?

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Adventurespec. Further the name but they don’t have that many different jackets so will be easy to find.

[@mdavidlem]

Great stuff! Enjoyed the video's

[@mikeygone6255]

Love your work !

[@stuartwilliams2609]

Great vids thanks. Love the humor. Any advice for an old newbie?

[@paramidge8935]

Did you report the scumbag road block to the highways agency? Nice report again Mark, cheers.

[@spinsing3529]

Great trio of vids - thanks for posting. Love the Alpinestars lid....which one is it?

[@casar.704]

Nice trip man !! :)

[@tvandeurzen85]

Hi Mark. Tnx for your vids, they look great! Can you tell me the percentage of off road Vs pavement?

[@tvandeurzen85]

Tnx for your fast answer. We would like to ride as much as possible in the dirt! What part of the UK or maybe the TET would you recommend?

[@obliquepanic2]

I really enjoyed these vids. So did you/do you meet walkers/landowners etc on these trails who are not at all happy about someone blasting down these paths on a noisy motorbike?

[@matttownsend83]

Where was the blocked trail? Have you mentioned it to the local TRF group?

[@roybailey4529]

Hey Mark, great video series! I am planning to do it in a couple of weeks, solo on a KTM 690 Enduro R and camping as you did. I am not a complete beginner, but certainly no off road god (below your standard from what I can tell)! Couple of questions if you have time matey? 1. What area did you stay each night? Keen to understand how far you got each day and if you felt that was about right in hind-sight? 2. Where about what that nasty "aborted" hill? As I am solo and not that good, may plan to miss it altogether, as opposed to try and turn round half way!

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Hey Roy, are you on the TET facebook group? If not...join it! If you are, ask on there as a load of people have done it recently and the route/best camp sites may have changed a bit. I also ride fast, dont stop unless filming and ride very long hours so not ideal to base much on unless you do the same. As for the hill.....maybe in the bone dry it would be ok but I would caution anyone not "good" to try it alone. I forget where it was but if you mention my video on the FB group someone there will know the exact spot you mean!

[@roybailey4529]

@@MarkLewisfitness Top man, thanks Mark! I am on the FB group, and asked some questions when went to Spain / Andorra. Good shout about giving that a try, I shall do it this eve. Thanks again for the prompt reply Mark!

[@MarkLewisfitness]

@@roybailey4529 happy to help - the FB is great and very useful for UK stuff as so much gets mucked about with regarding closures and stuff

Good videos...👍🏻

👍I’m on it April bank holiday what tyres did you run

[@wackywick7780]

mark lewis thanks iv got maxxis on at min 👍

[@johnlandy9662]

Excellent vids. I did part of the GWT last month, me on a 701 and my son on a DR350. We had a great time and came to the same conclusions about the route as you. Our trip was cut short due to some mechanical issues with the old DR and me thinking that the standard TKC80s would be just fine even though it had rained none stop for 2 weeks prior to setting off. What tires were you using ?

[@johnlandy9662]

@@MarkLewisfitness , I've heard nothing but good things about these tyres, thanks for the info.

[@WestSussexBiker]

Hi Mark. Doing the same GWT, TET as you next spring, Done parts up north on my RE Himalayan. Can you suggest a suitable tyre to use?

[@WestSussexBiker]

@@MarkLewisfitness Where in the UK can i source Motoz tyres. Can't seem to find a supplier.

[@alexmckenzie1063]

Adventure spec stock them

[@ogasi1798]

riders do NOT FORGET - if we let the trail die it dies, it will be gone and 'they' will be happy - it is ours, it has heritage - we MUST use it or LOSE IT

[@ERUtheWINDRIDER]

Man, you have way to many luggage for that kind of trip. Try to use a Reckless 40 instead of 80 for the future.

[@n.v.b.3616]

Great videos! All three of them. Had some trouble finding the right volume... maybe thats one for the next video?

[@dailyallowance3826]

I agree don't build stupid shit at the end of peninsulas and stop blocking roads unneccarily full stop
