Thank you, appreciate your comment.

Love your videos. Also spent some time in Picos at the end of August before doing Pyranees to Barcelona. Only regret mot spending more time in Picos. I didn't realise it was going to be so spectacular 😁🏍🏍

[@GreyBiker99]

Thank you so much. My wife and I are planning something similar for end of June next year were thinking of the ferry to Santander, a few days in the Picos, then heading along the Pyrenees and finally up through France to the tunnel.

Thank you so much. Really appreciate that.

Love the videos. Are your routes available to download? We're going to The Picos in July and I'm trying to plan some rides. 👍

[@GreyBiker99]

Thank you, I appreciate your comment. I have uploaded the routes I was given by MSL Tours to Dropbox on the link below, so you should be able to download the gpx files from there with any luck. MSL are happy for these to be shared. I haven't tried all of these routes, and I would suggest you check them over carefully, as I found a few odd waypoints in some of the routes I used! www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/8xgc9n8x9wny4gezzssn3/APRSGqAV5-4WGUnaB5zx7wY?rlkey=cgbrnc2ffrt2hiyx3peavipxx&st=lgh2yh0w&dl=0

Hi ,really enjoying your vids. Did the Picos in September, loved it. Can I ask what sound/mic setup you are using?

[@GreyBiker99]

Thank you so much. The Picos are amazing aren’t they? I have two DJI Mic 2’s. One is inside my helmet and connected by Bluetooth to my helmet camera. The other is under my pillion seat and Bluetoothed to the other camera. I’ve only just started using the second mic on this trip to try to get a bit more engine sound. When I edit in Davinci Resolve, I do a bit of tweaking to reduce the wind noise a bit. Thanks for watching 😁

[@Schim-Videos]

The audio & video quality of your videos is superb! I really enjoy watching these. And if you're using Davinci Resolve you clearly know your way around video production :-) Can I ask if the Avomap software for the animated maps is easy to use? Can you feed MyRouteApp files into it?

[@GreyBiker99]

@@Schim-Videos I appreciate your kind comments, thank you. You can export the gpx files from MyRouteApp very easily, and when you create a new map in AvoMap, it asks if you want to import a gpx. It is very simple to use, and I found a lot quicker than trying to animate a map in Davinci Resolve, but you do have to buy tokens to be able to create the videos of the maps. I also found i had to then pass the AvoMap through a converter (I use the free HandBrake software) to make it usable in DV.

Wunderful Journey, thank you that you participate us. Which navigation device do you use on your Tiger 1200?

[@GreyBiker99]

Thank you! I’m currently using a Chigee AIO-5 play with Scenic navigation app.

The severe weather that Valencia has received in the last few days,with catastrophic consequences I’m sure you’re glad you not in that part of Spain anymore and safely back in Blighty

[@GreyBiker99]

Yeah it’s been just awful for those poor people, though the Picos are in Northern Spain, so I don't think they have been affected in that area. We were lucky with the weather for early October for sure.

[@davidreed6817]

So was i really, certainly no offence meant, the worst is the one behind John Lewis (it wasn't your fault, one of the southern twats on teapotones east anglian tour made a comment about us all having 6 fingers, that hurt) anyway, your stuff is great and I look forward to the rest of the series 👍

[@GreyBiker99]

Yeah I did see that video and thought the same to be fair. Even though I’ve only lived in Norfolk for 26 years I absolutely love the county, but I do love hills and mountains too 😁. Thank you for watching, it’s really appreciated.

[@davidreed6817]

Another great piece of film 😊 As I'm a man of Norfolk born and bred, I have to disagree with you, Knights hill at Kings Lynn is very steep and indeed continues to climb all the way to Hunstanton, also ride through the Bure valley and see how steep the sides are, of course we have nothing to compare to proper steep stuff but it's still lovely 😊

[@GreyBiker99]

Thanks you so much. I was being a bit tongue in cheek to be honest about Norfolk being dead flat, but over this side around the Norfolk broads area it is pretty much all flat marsh. Mind you, I wouldn’t want to push a barrow load of bricks up Gas Hill in Norwich 😂
