NOT MOTORBIKE RELATED! A Random Autumn Lunchtime Walk Up Mile Lane Exeter

[@exeterrider]

NOT MOTORCYCLE Related so might be better not to watch this one. I felt like making a different type of Autumn video while on my lunch break..... Another video coming Sunday normal time🎉

[@daveanderson70]

Very zen and calming. But I couldn’t help thinking what a great route for an old two stroke scrambler!

[@exeterrider]

Exactly my thoughts and I bet many are thinking the same...it's a perfect beginners track!

What a gorgeous little lane! I guess its a footpath though? I loved the 2 or 3 brief inserts where your breathing says "Jeez, i wish id never started this!" 😂 Different though, worth the watch 👍

[@exeterrider]

Cheers matey. I must admit, it was a bit of a workout !

[@simonchilli2088]

Very nice little ramble. Like riding the bike you can go off on your own and have some space and time for yourself. It's nice to have the country side close by to enjoy.🤗

[@exeterrider]

Definitely....i'm not sure I could live in a big city where there is no getting away from it all.

[@BlakesPipes]

I relaxed getting ready to go to work watching this. Thank you

[@exeterrider]

Have a good day mate.

[@quinnpeaksbiker]

I'm exhausted after that long walk, getting an ice cream 🍨🍦😂😂 great video! Should do more🎉 thank you ❤

[@exeterrider]

Thanks Quinn, it was good having you along the way. I'll try running next time.

[@EpicAdamMotovlogs]

This is the best walking vlog I've seen this week.

[@exeterrider]

Wow thanks Adam. I know you watch alot of these so that means alot. I'll make another one because you said this.

[@malcolmpatton9314]

Wonderful lane and nobody else very relaxing

[@exeterrider]

It is, Thanks

[@RewildwithSuzie]

What a beautifuly put together video. Gorgeous scenery for walking! Good for you for taking the time for self care and to get into nature and then sharing it. Thumbs up from me, you are having a real positive impact on people in many ways with all your vids 💕

[@exeterrider]

Very kind Suzie, I won't make many of these but it's nice to make something different👍😊

Lovely bit me of Green laning there Steve and it keeps you fit😊I love walking this time of year 😊

[@exeterrider]

I dont believe that Jerry. Your stories are really interesting!!! It's just a matter of them reaching the right people. I'm behind on watch time at the moment and not seen your recent but ill catch up sometime....anyway anythings better than a motorbike youtuber going for a walk surely haha!!

[@flatcapcaferacer]

@@exeterrider I'm excited about your future as a KZbinr. If and when you get the time to spend on it you'll be lapping the field. Your reputation already far exceeds your subs and views .

[@exeterrider]

@flatcapcaferacer means alot that thanks. I hope my stamina can take it. It's a grind for little financial return as you know.

[@johndiehardmclean23]

I see 2 things others might not have twigged to on this vid mate. Firstly your scoping out green lanes for taking bikes in the future & secondly your practicing getting your steps up,for the ABR '25 obviously! 🤪✌️ Good to see you not only doing motorcycle related vids & you just seem to enjoy filming as a whole! 👍😎

[@exeterrider]

100% mate, It's good for me to practice different things rather than the same ole 2 wheeled stuff...a little like your doing really )

[@Saddlebags73]

Some priddy! Love the crunch of dry autumn leaves underfoot 👍🏼 If you do it a couple of times you might reach your daily step count 🙄

[@exeterrider]

I quadupled it on that walk. I'm going to run up next video.

[@Mark-l3n4d]

50 years ago I lived in Exeter and used to walk what seems like miles from Monkswell Rd to St James High School, never knowing that the little gem of Mile lane was just a slight detour. I remember Prince Charles Rd, the awkward corner of Calthrope rd (but looks like from Google maps its modified now) and then Beacon Lane and finally to school. Mind was not on motorbikes then but the local lunchtime disco and the opposite sex, if only I had paid more attention to my surroundings! Greetings from Australia.

[@exeterrider]

Lunchtime discos...wow I forgot all about them....no wonder I didn't do well at school! amazing you ended up all the way in Aus!! To be honest ,the way things are here, it was a good move, I guess there will always be bits you miss though.

[@economicalrides]

I've always been intrigued by the concept of dogging but it's the thought of having to do mammoth treks, like this one, first, which puts me right off the idea. Still, you carry on Steve. A man needs a hobby 😛 Seriously though, a nice leafy relaxing walk mate. Feel the burn ! I lost weight just watching ! Oh. No. Apparently I didn't. Damn ! Love to you and the Exmouth crew, Serge et Lisette en Provence

[@exeterrider]

Yes, and look what I found....nothing!! very disappointing ha! Yes it was something different- I get times where I really feel like filming something different and this was ideal. I really enjoyed making it. Hope your well Piere

[@jimsadler8704]

What a very pleasant stroll, ER. The folk living at the bottom end of the lane are very lucky to have such a place so close to home, wouldn't you agree. I believe Mincinglake (odd name) is to the left of the path . Do you know the original purpose of the lane?

[@exeterrider]

Definitely Jim, I'd happily live up there one day. Yes Mincinglake was something to do with St Katherines priory and most of Mincing lake park was damned by the nuns to create a big lake to power water mills till it turned into a dumping ground years later. Mile Lane is an old roman road to Stoke Canon, Tivy and surrounding areas to my knowledge. There are remains of an old fort up there somewhere.

Enjoyed your relaxing film Steve. Can I ask, have you still got your bmw? As thinking of getting one myself. Many thanks. Roders

[@exeterrider]

Hi Rodders, yeap still have it mate, I won't be getting rid of it anytime soon. A new Video of it has been filmed and edited (random one) but not sure when it will be out yet.

Mrs S has been expressing her displeasure at this video. Having predicted you would be finding a dead body she realised you were without a canine companion so realised you possibly wouldn’t be carrying out this fine tradition. Sadly she wasn’t wrong so disappointed. Her dissatisfaction was further expressed with the sunny weather resulting in a lack of very deep puddle thus denying her the joy of watching you doing a “Vicar of Dibley”! Other than that she enjoyed it. I was very entertained though 😎😎😎

[@exeterrider]

I can only apologise for such a lame video. We only have a guinea pig and 3 rabbits so there was a lack of resources on this video. I will be going out to buy a dog (from pets at home?) and will try harder next time. Or maybe a lead for the rabbit. Thanks for your watchingness of this very challenging video thing. ❤️

Someone nicked my moped in Exeter and dumped it up Mile Lane in 1973. Did you see an old M reg number plate on your walk? Typical Beacon Eeef!

[@exeterrider]

No number plate found yet 🤣 I have another vid in filming tommorow of a walk in ide so perhaps its there, I'll keep a look out 🤣

[@Sn00pyJ508]

@ I did dump an old Lambretta scooter (bright yellow with lots of non metallic brown spots) behind a big sign at Speedway garage, Cowick Street in St Thomas’s in 1974. I believe the garage has been pulled down now and it looks like it’s a pharmacy. (Luxton?). However, the scooter was dumped in what looks like their car park round the back. If you are passing, maybe have a look? 👍🏻

[@exeterrider]

@@Sn00pyJ508 yes it's a dump down there compared to what it was. It's the posh end of the city 😉but nothing like the pretty place it was in the 80s. Even crossways is gone🤣👍
