Happy memories of Wales in 1963 - went on my Norton 650 ss with a new girlfriend, first time camping with the bike too. Got to a campsite overlooking a lake and as it seemed a bit crowded on the higher part we pitched up right near the lakeside! Of course it rained all night and we found ourselves in a river in the morning, everything was soaked so we decided to head home to Cambridge ….it pissed down all the way home!! I recall stopping in a cafe and when we were about to leave the owner came over with a mop & bucket and told us to mop the floor!!

She has a knack that adds to your tour vids, and you should encourage her to a large role in the vids. To Mrs. Flyer - seize the mic and tell Andy to take the pillion post for awhile!

It’s terrific to watch you glide along the amazing roads, taking in the beautiful scenery that is mid to north Wales. Being a native of Cardiff I used to similarly take off for weekend rides on my Triumph Bonne or red Honda 400F2. However, this was in the early 1980’s, and the experience was not always positive unfortunately. Every pub we stopped at either had a sign stating No Bikes or the staff refused to serve us. And trying to pop into a B&B for Saturday night was met with more refusals. We weren’t Ogri-lookalikes but no matter. Contrast that with trips to visit friends in Wareham, Dorset and our subsequent travels along the south coast to Cornwall and Devon. The country folk were much more welcoming. Cars, bikes, tractors, campervans, all were simply accommodated. So while I love Wales, my best biking days were along the English south coast… and, later, Europe. How times have changed ..or have they? Have you ever been refused at a pub because you are on a bike?

Corona threw a spanner in the works and, moreover, your Brexit, which means that we now need a travel pass to come from Europe (Belgium). Due to Corona, our weekend Cottswold also fell into the water in 2020. Fortunately already crossed Wales in the past. But I'll be back...maybe next year although South West Ireland is currently higher on the wish list. But Andy anyway....two riders in your group use the right bike and not a battleship like you :-D And then to say that you also have a GS in the garage.

Thanks for an entertaining video. Last time I stopped at that viewpoint, I was lucky enough to see both a dolphin and a seal swimming about in the sea. Good to see you enjoyed the toll bridge at Penmaenpool. Also, unless things have changed recently, you could have crossed toll free from Morfa Mawddach to Barmouth using the track alongside the railway bridge there. Rather unusually, that route is open to pedestrians, cyclists and motorcycles. I'm not sure how that came about, but KZfaq has several videos of bikes crossing that way. Most pedestrians won't be expecting to encounter bikes there though, so I think that route should be treated with caution.

Once again, some beautiful countryside shown in this country of ours. Yes, we really are lucky and should explore more of it. Never had a bad trip whilst riding in Wales. Only slight disappointing aspect for this video, as mch as I love the thumbnail showing you all having fun, surely the sunshine and blue sky in Wales would beat it haha. Looking forward to seeing your arrival into Portmerion.

Hi Gary - I’m not sure I follow? Which is the disappointing part of the video?? Feedback always welcomed….

@@TheMissendenFlyer Hi, just read back and sounds worse lol. I meant for the thumbnail. A pic of the sun shining in Wales would of been a 1st. As usual sir, your filming and editing is 1st class on your tours.

Love the tour vids. Wales is superb. Good to hear/see Carole with a microphone. In fact great to hear from everyone on the trip, what a great bunch of people to ride with. Plug the helmet microphones into the Rode senders and the receiver into the camera and you can easily record both you and Mrs Flyer onto one camera. Are you sure that wooden Bridge was rated for the weight of a Goldwing 😂

Hey! You and your Group made my decision for this year: i need to come to Wales! You're beatiful people and that Video was absolutly amazing! I'm driving a GL 1800 DCT from 2021 and i love the UK. Such a beatyfull country and woderfull friendly people. I've been in Scotland already, in 2022 i travel through Cornwall and my next GL trip will be Wales for sure. If you see a Goldwing in red from Germany, that might be me.......😂 Thaks so much for that videos and lovely greetings from Germany (north Bavaria)

Hi Andy, Just taking you up on your comment about Wales and the wealth of touring opportunities in the UK. We have just completed four months touring Europe on our Gs1200. Got out of Schengen Zone with an hour to spare and landed in Harwich. Full English in Colchester gave us time to look at the map. Next stop, Cat and Fiddle in the Peak District and then onto the Yorkshire Dales. You are not wrong! These Aussies will be coming back next year for an Ireland and UK tour!

Hi Andy. Went to Hotel as told you and the tall barman "Ryan" did remember you. Lovely hotel and my pall and I really enjoyed it. We were both on VFR1200's. Sadly was pouring down first thing but dried out as time went on. Thanks for recommendation 😊

Beautiful Wales! Great scenery , great companions, fantastic bikes. I must say, those stone walls make me a tad nervous. Any flying vids before Summer fades away?
@TheMissendenFlyer 11 ай бұрын
M’fraid the aeroplane is currently grounded awaiting some paperwork to be signed!! May be another before the summer is out - they tend to kill my channel though (the algorithm punishes me for them!!)….

It's the F15s that catch you out! They make you jump out of your skin if unexpected. BTW North Wales and Mid Wales is my local playground. Hope you can do around Cregennan Lakes and Vynwy to Bala and Dinas Mawddwy roads. Enjoy! Oh Anglesey is worth a visit for stunning sea side views.
@TheMissendenFlyer 11 ай бұрын
Yes - I’ve done all of those at some point or other (stayed on lake Vyrnwy on our last visit)

I'm with you on those connectivity app things. I only used the BMW one once and it dropped out just when I was coming up to a change on my route so just use my trusty Nav5. Great views and roads 👍

Yes the nav5/6 and it's integration to the bike is one of the great things about the GS (and some other BMWs)
