So the end of this vlog brings the end of the trip for us.
It didn't go to plan but did we still have damn good fun? INDEED WE DID.
Thanks again to Sinnis Motorcycles for the loan of the bikes. They performed wonderfully and I had the BEST time!!!
Anyway guys and girls, I hope you enjoy the final installment!
Thanks again for watching!

It reminds me of a time when I was absolutely hypothermic on my bike and I pulled into a layby at night. A police patrol car pulled in behind me to see if everything was alright, he then took me into his car put the heater up for me and shared his flask of coffee. What a great guy

Hi 👋 Kate and Mike, what a wet environment, beautiful but so wet. My nose started dripping just by watching the video. I don’t even know how a person could spend a night in a tent ⛺️ around there. I would surely need a wd40 soaking for my joints, after that. Maybe an equipped campsite is a little bit different than a field or a woods. I imagine someone pulling tent zip down, so sleepy after a not so comfortable night, and be face to face with an absolutely self confident bear 🐻 or during bedtime, sayng “Honey, how wet and cold is your hand tonight”, and suddenly find out it’s a big snake 🐍 diving into your pajama, actually. I prefer the warmer atmosphere you experienced once you got at the restaurant, at the end of the video. Very nice dishes. I must admit you had a good spirit of adventure, also regarding the bikes: they”re very tiny and carrying all the necessary stuff on them, reminded me a little bit of “dumb and dumber” chainsaw motorbike journey to Aspen. Thank you for your good footage. Ps: Kate, your hair natural (I think) color is so nice.

Sometimes things just don't go to plan. When it becomes a chore you have missed the point of why you were doing the trip in the first place. It was absolutely the right call to stop where you could get warm and get some food in your, then cut your losses and head home. I have been in your shoes - caught in torrential, freezing cold rain on the west coast of Scotland a number of years ago, but in our case we stopped at a place called, wait for it, Badcall. And it really was a bad call. The was no warm welcome, no place with a radiator to try and dry (or at least partially dry) our bike gear. The owner of the B&B expected us to leave all the wet gear in an alcove next to an open door. In the morning it was still sopping wet. We were so glad to be out of that place.

As I watched this I thought "She's getting cold". I could hear your voice changing. Keeping warm on the bike is so important.

Looks like you stumbled on a good place to get dry and fed.

Brecon Beacons, the Elan valley. When you mentioned Devils bridge i wondered if you might take the old Drove road from Devils bridge to Rhayader and the elan valley lakes that's a great fun little road. Barking mad or not though that was a great set of videos 👍.

Good move on ditching the camping bit, I dont blame you and great move getting some warm food inside you and getting warm before heading home. I think your mad doing all this on 125's but it looks like you had a load of fun and thats what its all about at the end of the day. Those roads were fantastic well worth getting cold for I think.

Not being a wimp, being smart. My wife and I were on a tent camping trip where most of the time it was miserable, cooking and cleaning and hanging out in a six man tent was no fun so just about every meal started with a drive into town to a restaurant. While I don’t mind cyclists I do mind the ones that hog the road and refuse to “share the road”. I do look forward to your humor and again I was not let let down. Sorry to see this series at an end looking forward to the next adventure.

choosing tents for a motorcycle always a difficult decision, have my Coleman Tasman or my Vango Mirage when I go away, use to take either a Coleman bedrock or cobra, the first two have a little more room, but really only ideal for the one person, my other two tents are just too big to take on the bike, thought my new air tent would be around the same size as my other family tent, nope, it is massive lol I won't be taking that away on the bike. Avoid Lonerider, unless they will give you a freebie, their tents are crap for British weather, poles break and the seams split.

I`m watching this and the other parts snug in my toasty house with a steaming mug of tea and a huge plate of HobNobs . Real HobNobs not the fake Aldi KnobSacks !! Because you are worth it ,never let anyone say otherwise!!. Wonderful not to be there with you in the rain and cold ,I luxuriate in your red nose knowing it is not mine. Keep on doing it, Kate, so others don`t have to, especially me. Loved all of it ,particularly the small bikes as I personally believe you do not need 18K`s worth of Beemer GS to travel beyond the end of the road. Wale`s , wonderful but wet ,as so often, but that is why it is so lush . Would like to see some mid range stuff on another adventure. Carry on Kate . (sounds like a `60s British comedy) 😀😀😀

Phew, I’m glad it’s been reported because I was worried somebody wasn’t going to report the fact that the farmer has actually committed an offence as per the Highways Act 1980…. If any horses, cattle, sheep, goats or swine are at any time found straying or lying on or at the side of a highway their keeper is guilty of an offence. Thank goodness Kate got it on video!!!

The farmer in question should be apologising for his sheep being unsupervised on a much used public road. It is he, who should be taken to task, not Kate. I've been a retired farmer since 2020 and still live on a farm that I now, because of declining health, lease to another party. I had 46 years of farming with livestock and also grain production on the land and here by law, the farmer could/would held accountable if livestock were not kept within farm boundaries. In the case of a road user having an impact with a farmers unsupervised livestock on a roadway the farmer was sometimes sued for injury and damages. We never had livestock on the road here because of well maintained fencing which was always checked before animals were put in. Kate and the others had no alternative other than to get past the sheep in the manner they did to avoid running the sheep even further from their farm. The farmer when finally getting his sheep back would have to head them off by getting ahead of them in the same manner before herding them home.

Typical divisive bullshit. I've been riding motorcycles, vans and cars (generally owning all three at the same time) as well as riding road and mountain bikes for about 35 years now. Tell me again how I pay nothing towards the roads. I also live about 10 miles from Llyn Brianne and regularly ride this route on my bicycle. I don't know where you live mate but I was born, brought up and work here, why the fk shouldn't I ride these roads on my bicycle? How come you get to decide who should be allowed to use our roads?
