This nearly went SO WRONG! Bikepacking Wales: Traws Eryri Pt.1

[@johnmcnulty1129]

Fantastic scenery ! A hill is a puncture. A mountain is the list of mechanicals & mishaps on a Jools adventure ! :) ❤ ☀️

[@markreams3192]

What a beautiful route! Incredibly green. Have you looked at the Tailfin rack with the Aero Pack? It will keep your bag off of the rear wheel.

[@donaldryder5534]

Wow great scenery!

[@seahawk3057]

Hi, love the videos, wondering what benefit the Di2 is however, guess im a bit old school but wouldn’t be a safer option with all your travels? 😉

[@Francesco_M.]

God welsh is really alien to me! 👽 You could have said anything I would have punched air anyway =/ How nice to see Laura again though! One of few that can hike as well as bike, _big props_ to her for that! =] You should have had a fabulous time together by now, I'm eager to watch the rest of it! 😊👋

[@CaptBongo]

Miss Juliet. Thank you very much for a lovely video. I was really bummed out over the no swimming sign. I do love the tent. Looks roomy. Looking forward to your next post. Was on travel for my job and now playing catch up on videos

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

[@christinacooper3954]

Loved this vlog. Would love to see the route x

[@chriskidd2605]

You should be able to charge Di2 from a powerbank. Worth a try and something lots of people travel with on bike packing trips if the Di2 runs out of juice.😊

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

I didn’t pack the charger 😩

[@teuluPaul]

That ford looked dodgy!! Thanks for sharing this - I live in North Wales, and might just look this up!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Highly recommend it!

[@robertbotta6536]

Well I must say that you two lovely ladies exude everything that is fun and exciting about bicycling. Thanks so much. Carry on and on and on……please

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Aw thank you. We plan on doing just that

[@robertwalkerdine1178]

That's my local routes 😁. Gutted I didn't get to meet a celebrity!

[@dalethornington1527]

A hill can be formed from faulting, erosion and movement and deposition of sediment by ice glaciers. A mountain is formed through shifting of tectonic plates or volcanism. A hill is usually below 2,000 feet or 600 meters. A mountain is usually above 2,000 feet or 600 meters. Source: GOOGLE

[@ebikescrapper3925]

A height above 2,000 ft, or more latterly 610 m, is considered necessary to be classified as a mountain - as opposed to a hill - in the British Isles. With the exception of Munros, all the lists require a prominence above 15 metres (49.21 ft).

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you!

[@D_isco_D_ancer]

Amazing video and riding partner. Why does she not wear a shammy? And also why ride these routes as fast as you can if the are absolute gorgeous. I rather take all the time in the world.

[@stephencharles6932]

'Third' !

[@anderscoffin6111]

This video reminded me so much of why I love cycling! Getting out with a friend and setting off somewhere different😊👍 Miss it so much! Thanks for the great video Juliet! That beer made you forget the name of your tent🤣🤘🏼 Thanks for sharing👌👍

[@ecopennylife]

Nice adventure! I think I would die of shock if Juliet did an adventure with no problems or equipment stuff ups 😅

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

You and me both 😂

[@tonypaddler]

Haha, yes, well you're never going to die of shock then, are you ... 😁🤣😉

[@mokotramp]

If this aint a case for mechanical, I really don't know what is! 🤣

[@barryf1966]

Im riding the route later this year so interested how you get on looks great so far enjoy 🍺

[@mokotramp]

It's a great route, with some brutal climbs and difficult terrain, but it's all worth it, I'm sure you'll love it! ✌️

[@moobaz8675]

I’d have thought that was more of a two beers ride 😂 Cracking scenery. 👍

[@thewelshwonder1965]

Loving the Welsh names pronunciation 😂😂😂

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Ha, yeah, sorry 😂

[@Incaensio]

Laura!!!

[@outtatrex]

Loving the new tent !

[@wilfwilliams]

Fantastique ❤

[@jamesteague069]

Hi, great vid just wondering where i could find the route with the extra singletrack in it please

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

I'm sorry but I don't know as Laura plotted those. I imagine it's the Cycling UK website as they created the route

[@wsbygt]

M o r n i n g !

[@Neilhuny]

Oh my! Laura, a chamois is your friend, saviour, supporter, best cycling investment you can make! (OK, after a decent bike, computer, lights ... )

[@SeanBickerdike]

Hi, great vid. Really fun to watch. I’ve been wondering about this route for a while. Would you say it’s rideable on a gravel bike? I note that both of you have front suspension and some sections seem a bit rough.

[@Infinitesimal-ho7it]

Check out the movie _The Englishman That Went Up A Hill But Came Down A Mountain._

[@AronOutdoors]

I don't know why I got hung up on the facts that both you and your friend's vans were broken down at the same time. And then the gear shifter broke followed by a dead battery and no charger... What's going on? Beautiful scenery btw. Have the same BA Tigerwall tent, works great.

[@stuartdilts2729]

I took an optional singletrack section on a bikepacking trip last week, and it was very muddy, rooty, and with a bunch of downed trees that we had to lift our bikes over. It was a blast, but definitely not what we thought we were going to encounter. It was a super fun trip! I can thank you two for inspiring me to get out there. Good to see you're at it again.

[@flipczech]

I attempted to apply touch up paint on my car after 1 Heineken, it didn’t go well. I totally appreciate that you checked on the alcoholic percentage before deciding, kudos sista.

[@paulh1860]

Im taking my gravel bike to Barmouth soon, planned to ride over the bridge and down the trail. Could anyone share a link to the route the ladies came down from to that trail to the lake maybe?

[@shawnbikes]

The only good bike trip is when the trip goes wrong but ends with a good time. Great video and channel!

[@bubbaluv500]

I've ridden that trail, it's really nice. I usually camp in Brithdir, its back up the trail, just past Dolgellau. There's the usual amenities, plus a lovely little river and fire pits.

[@Tjames579]

Looks like such beautiful country side

[@davejenkins8013]

Great video, a group of us are doing this on Monday, can't wait 😊

[@SimonBorneman]

Super om jullie te volgen in jullie avontuur in Wals

[@brianlang7061]

Juliet always keeping it real.. ❤

[@PiquePictures]

Beautiful ride! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@CreativeFishDesignsCharlotte]

i think as i live in the mountains , a hill is Everthing that makes up the mountain . thank you for the hard work

[@welshpaddler]

Always enjoy your videos. I do wish you (although good effort) and other KZbinrs would research how to pronounce the Welsh language.Diolch

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

I did! Just because I got it wrong sometimes it doesn’t mean I’m not trying to

[@Colleenann61]

My friends and I call going with no chamois as going “chamando” (like commando…no underwear, only no chamois).

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Hah brilliant!

[@johnmuttitt]

Cable!

[@markkutoivari8000]

❤❤❤

[@michaelhayward7572]

Just say NO to electronic shifting on simple bicycles...

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Mine’s a very complicated bicycle 😆

[@lazlo2511]

A mechanical you just can’t handle, the cars are playing up. 😂😂😂. Oh and chamois is your best friend so educate that rider immediately. You need to back pack more often.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Don’t talk crap. Need to bikepack more 😆 this ain’t my first rodeo! And it’s up to the person riding to decide on what they wear to ride
