Great videos. Myself and 2 friends backpacked the same route in 1970 , as far as Koln. The people in the Netherlands and Belgium were very friendly and hospitable, but Germany was a challenge 😂

I have watched many of your videos. They are beautifully filmed. Simply stunning scenery. Do you mind if I ask what camera you use? Thanks for sharing your wonderful tours with us. They're an inspiration to another retired guy!

Thank you so much Daniel! Glad you found our videos. Most of this 2022 series was done with a GoPro Hero 10. It has a very good stabilisation feature that takes care of all of the shaking. A few stills and short video clips were done on our phones. Cheers to retirement 😀!

@@daphnebehindbars Thanks so much, Daphne! I’ve got an old GoPro but want to upgrade and your videos are simply stunning as well as your editing. Your itineraries lend themselves to beautiful pictures/videos but few capture them as well as you. Truly inspiring. I just picked up cycling again after half a century on motorcycles and enjoy your videos so much. Thanks! Dan

About the holiday, I asked my brother (he lives in Germany). He told me the (christian) holiday is just a good excuse for a party/ festival. And thank you for sharing.

That's interesting Martin, but I suppose it's no different from most parts of the world really.

Fabulous! Do you have a gps file of your route? Or on Strava I could get?
@daphnebehindbars Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, no we don't have a gps file of our route. We are fairly lo-tech when it comes to navigation. Frank does record our rides on Strava, but although I have a strava account, I don't use it at all. In the video description, I mention the maps and resources we use for route-finding.

The scenery is starting to look very pretty. When you lock your bikes up and wander about did u leave your paniers on ur bikes with out a problem ?
@daphnebehindbars Жыл бұрын
Yes, we did sometimes leave the bikes unattended with the panniers on, eg when grocery shopping, going to a restaurant or visiting a tourist site. Of course whenever possible we'd park the bikes where we could keep an eye on them from inside, but that wasn't always possible. Of course we'd take our valuables with us - Frank has all his in his backpack and mine are in a sack inside my handlebar bag, so I just grab the sack and take it with me. We never had any issues fortunately.
