A mini series covering me and my buddy Wolfy bikepacking and wild camping on Mark Beaumont's cycling version of the North Coast 500. This mini series captures the highs (pun intended) and lows of this Scottish Highlands ride.
The videos will give you a feel like you're there, give tips and might have some funny moments.
Should you be planning to ride the route, this will give you a great insight. Anything not shown and you would like to know then please feel free to comment and ask.
I used AI voice changer to do my overdubs in order to be a little more clearer.... I think this worked ok let me know.

Many thanks - really appreciated. With Episode 1 there wasn't too much to document but much better things are coming.

Excellent video and editing. What cameras did you use and how did you manage to keep your batteries charged?

@redo109 thank you. I used a Go Pro Hero 12, which has 3 batteries and was enough power to record the 6 days without recharging, 128Gb memory card. I also carried 2x 26000mah battery bank power just in case. My drone is a DJI Mini 4 which also has 3 batteries also 128gb memory card. I recharged one battery but again there was more than enough power... I had an anker wall charger that runs 3 x USB and could have used one of the places I stopped to eat and recharge. I'm new to editing so I really do appreciate your input.

@@ISF77 Thanks for the info Ian, pretty good battery management to last the whole ride. I have one 10,000mah battery I use to keep my GpPro 10 running on long rides might be worth investing in another. I thought maybe you were using an Insta 360 camera because of the smooth pans to the side and rear. I did some bikepacking about 20 years ago before retirement and would like to do some more now. Your setup looked nice and compact have you thought about a video showing how you pack everthing and what equipment you use for the trips. Cheers and keep up the good work Richard

@@redo109 The GoPro Hero 12 doesnt have any GPS so it doesnt drain the battery is reduced compared to previous versions. I have additional content planned to compliment the NC500 videos but will only release when I have more time to do a good job with them. I also have a few more "excursions" planned in the next few weeks so will see what I can do.
