Wonderful Wales! - BMW GS on Tour - Episode 3

Thank you Bob!

Ok, so this installment checked all my boxes. Stunning scenery beautiful roads and the mighty GS. You asked of my favorite day rides. First I always ride alone, so as to pick and choose…whatever fancied me at that moment. In my neck of the woods, 2 hours to get up to The Great Smokey Mountains, so about 8 hours saddle time, 9-10 clock time. Always so well worth the day. And we got to witness the GS pass anything in your way. (especially that white van) So yup I’ve really enjoyed this series. Cheers Andy, very much enjoyed this one. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad you liked it Brad - sure I’ve asked this before but where are you based?

[@bradleyalexander5821]

@@TheMissendenFlyer …. Mableton Georgia, just outside of Atlanta Ga. about 2 hours south of the Smokey Mountains, about 2 hours east of Taladega National Forest. Obviously the Harley rides in the mountains, and the Tiger rides the backwoods of that forest. It truly is a beautiful difference of these amazing bikes and their unique skill-sets. I am very lucky. 👍🏼

Hi Andy, Really enjoyed the Wales episodes. Our Pastor is from Wales, great to see all the beautiful sites. Yesterday my neighbor and I rode 470 miles on a day ride to the Mississippi River, up to the Wisconsin River and back along that river. Too many miles. I'm 73 and ride 2018 GSXS 1000. I think 300 miles per day is about right for me now. Thank you for all your contributions to riding. Ray

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Wow - sounds like quite a ride Ray!

[@lesliekirkland5783]

I've been visiting Pembrokeshire for ten years and it is a really beautiful part of the world. Well worth a visit for a week or two by car or bike.

[@malmarsden9730]

Looking at that scenery takes me back fifty years to when I would head off on my Ariel Leader ,not to Wales but all around. Warwickshire . I emigrated to Aus in 1971 and once settled in got myself another bike . Now at 75 I've down graded to my Honda CB500 XA (2021) . Once the world has got Covid under control I'll be back to the UK and ride those tours you take me on . Take care ,ride safe . Mal in Australia

[@stephenpotts8170]

Loved your whistle stop tour, I owned a static caravan at Newgale coast holiday park for over 25 years, and as you will no doubt be told by others you missed so much of Pembrokeshire, St Davids Cathedral is stunning, and did you realise when you left Cardigan for fishgaurd you crossed the Preshilli hills the site of where henges had been quarried for Stonehenge ,and yes when the tide is in Solva harbour must be the most beautiful natural harbour in Britain, and when you dropped down into Newgale if you had taken the small coastal road you would have taken in Nolton, Broad Haven, little Haven, and many more little hamlets all the way to Milford Haven. When you have more time as you said you must do it with Mrs Flyer. Thank you...

[@M4BoarBiker]

Totally agree with you, I guess there was a time issue though.

[@justinsprunger1270]

Great content! Beautiful country. I find it interesting that different riders find different distances enjoyable. I did a multi-day ride several weeks ago and had two 500+ mile days. I found it very enjoyable and did manage to stop for a few pictures. With that said, while some of the roads were narrow and winding, like yours, I was blessed with some highways/motorways and could put down some miles. That is the beauty of riding, we get to individually do what we find enjoyable. Keep up the awesome content.

That must be a long ferry ride from Fishguard to Wick(Scotland) and I always thought they went to Rosslare in the ROI. You visited Cenarth Falls and a beautiful place it is. About 20 years ago I visited Cenarth and they had a visitor in the River, who they Christened Sammy the Seal. He or she swam all the way up the river(about 10+ miles) following Salmon and stayed for a few days.

Hi Andy - I really enjoyed your tour. This is a great part of the UK, although you do need to depart the “main” roads to enjoy the delights of the coast. As you say Solva is lovely and the coastal walk from there to St David’s is worth the effort. Dale, Marlowe (with its wonderful beach (Lion in the Winter opening scene), Whitesands and, of course, St David’s cathedral

[@paulfowler6665]

Your right about not doing too many miles in one day. I've done a couple of tours on sports bikes and both times rode to many miles each day to get to the places I booked to stay. End up missing everything and spending too much time on main roads and motorways. Btw love the photos at the end and have now bought my own copy of Bikers Britain the tours after watching these excellent videos 🙂

[@MarkATaylor]

Be a good tour through the Scottish Borders Andy, we’ve just done from home in Saltburn more or less a diagonal line to Glasgow via Kielder into Scotland, Hawick, Selkirk onto Glasgow. Day off there then up to Fort William via Loch Lomond and Glencoe. Beautiful weather, stunning views. Back to Glasgow and then home via the south side of Edinburgh down the A7 to Galashiels, stop for a coffee and a sandwich at the border then A68 south to Darlington and home. 650 miles biking bliss over 4 days. Must do Wales though , great series again.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sounds like a fabulous trip Mark, nice one.....

[@kwak1k]

You need to hit the coastal back roads and find the hidden gems. Abereiddy, Portgain, White sands beach, Pothclais, Solva Quay. South of the county there's Pembroke, a walked town with a pretty impressive castle, Nearby beaches like Freshwater west, Broadhaven South, Barafundle Bay, I could go on. You do have to venture onto the single track roads a bit though to find the best spots. I do ride the roads in this vid though all the time,, and at certain times of the day when they're a lot quieter, they're awesome, Haverfordwest to St David's to Fishguard round to Haverfordwest loop is a beaut of a 50 mile evening blast. I agree Pembrokeshire offers something different to mid and North Wales, but this tour barely scraped the surface of what Pembrokeshire has to offer. Great vid👍 All the best!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Maybe I should get back and follow your route then….duly noted!

[@kwak1k]

@@TheMissendenFlyer Something like you did in Scotland would be ideal. You do need a more touristy couple of weeks here. Rent a cottage and bring a smaller bike to buzz around on. The CRF would've been ideal.

I'm just back from a few days in the Brecon beacons and I found the place stunning, brilliant riding country. I plotted a coastal route for one day out and it looks almost the same route you took here. Difference was I carried on along the coast after Newgale to Broadhaven instead of heading for Haverfordwest. Loved the route which ended in Dale. I then returned via Haverfordwest and hit the same junction for the A40 with the option of Fishguard or St Clear, unfortunately, choosing not to use the sat nav, I chose Fishguard, got most of the way to Fishguard before checking my map only to discover I was going the wrong way! Ah well, it was a lovely stretch of road which I had to ride back along. Looking forward to the next installment 👍

[@greerbox]

What a coincidence Andy. My wife and daughter just had a week in Solva. Loved it and the area. We’re planning to go down on the bikes in October. Not ideal for weather but no choice cos of work.

Another cool tour, I do love these tour videos, when you talk about how many miles, I don't really look at planning that way, I always look at how much time on the bike it will be. I know route planning apps think you will stick at the speed limit wherever you are but I tend to plan a route to be about 4 1/2 hours long. That gives a decent day when I put in photo and cake stops...

I ride in Wales a lot but this is an area I really should visit more. You asked what sort of mileage people do a day on tour, learned a few years ago to ignore distance and base it on time. 100 miles in some places can be a long day, 500 elsewhere is a doddle. Around 5 hrs riding time a day is just about right for me when moving on every day.

[@hoojamaflicks]

most of my tours are 3 to 4 weeks into Europe, South of France, Spain. I've learned from experience that for me if I do too many hours in the saddle every day it all becomes a slog. like you said, it's supposed to be fun after all! rather than judge it by miles, I generally limit myself to approximately 3 hours actual riding per day, not including stops, lunch etc. I like to be at the hotel by 5 so I can enjoy the evening in whatever town I'm in. I also try not to do more than 4 days consecutively without a day off the bike. on trips of that length, that's what works for me and by the end I'm as fresh or fresher than when I left.

I think a UK tour with Mrs Flyer once she's passed her test - light jaunt out away from the south east on a steady run may do wonders for her confidence.

Another book to add to my Christmas list. ps. I’m not so sure the clouds you saw when you were riding were lenticulars. There were far too many “knobbly” bits. There was also very little wind at both upper and lower levels no apparent low level vertical movement as evidenced by a lack of Cumuloform clouds.

Thank you Christian, that's very kind of you....and I fear I don't know enough about it to make a VLOG on E10....

Really enjoy these vids Andy. I’ve often found that if you’re observing the speed limits and not using motorways then it’s hard to average much more than 30mph on a reasonable journey. So for 150 miles I’d allow 4 to 5 hours and I’m happy with that for pleasure riding.

Agreed….
