Great Video 👍 what route did you do and was that another Brompton in the video 🤔

@@craiglouw4057 Yes, friend from Holland who also loves Brompton joined me for half of this. Route is roughly this: Marrakesh - R203 to cross the Atlas at Tizi n' Test (2000m) descent to Tafingoult to N10 then on to Taliouine, Tazenakht. Due to time limitation I then had to take a bus to Zagora and from there continued North along the Draa Valley to Ouarzazate then P1506 to Telouet, up Tizi n' Tichka pass and down the other side to Marrakesh. Cheers!

@@BromptonTraveler fantastic 👍 keep the videos coming

Sto bene chissà che non possiamo vederci una volta o l altra ...bacino

Ciao,qual'è il titolo del primissimo brano?

Thanks Dave, this is actually an old video though, nothing new! Cheers

Cheers!

Wonderful country and people! Hopefully I can be back one day.

It's just a repost due to copyright strike but thanks a lot!

Thanks Michael, this was done with an old GoPro which was not as stable as the newer models but I think the scenery are what matters most. Cheers

Thanks a lot! Morocco is filled with some of the most hospitable people and has some really stunning sceneries, good food and scenic roads to ride.

Thanks, that means a lot as original was banned due to some very nice, copyrighted music!

Sorry you missed it this time Terry...When you will go you will have a wonderful time. Great country to cycle and lovely hospitable people. I don't argue with copyright it is fair that artists get rewarded. In the past I didn't really bother as videos were not very popular anyway but as views increased all kind of things happen like different countries banning the video or removing soundtrack and so on... Most of my videos are copyright free but the oldest are not so I might have to repost them... Looking forward to hear about Morocco when you do have a chance to go and hope it is soon!

Thanks, I agree about the music however the problem I’ve been having is with Apple iMovie, all the tracks on there are copyright free on the app but some companies are making copyright claims on them, very frustrating. Best wishes to you

Many thanks! Good rides to you too.

@@BromptonTraveler Cheers!

👍

Wonderful! From the tone of your comment you do like the bikes too?! Appreciated.

Those songs you mention are from Epidemicsound which is the copyright free service I have used for quite a few years. The problem are some of my older videos when I pretty much added the music I loved! I might have to repost a couple more videos before they get blocked!

Ciao zia come stai? Grazie. Questo è un viaggio di alcuni anni fa che ho dovuto rifare perché aveva musica con diritti d'autore e lo avevano cancellato! Saluti a tutti. Un abbraccio.

Thanks Stephen. Helmet issue I have dealt with on several occasions but your choice is very sensible. Commentary is also something people are asking for maybe I should do! Trouble is that I hate the sound of my voice and feel it takes away from the scenery which speaks of itself. I do get comments appreciating the fact that I shut up too! Cheers...from UK

@@BromptonTraveler Thanks for the reply I know there is no pleasing everyone but I'm sure your voice is just as good as the next person lol I look at lots of cycling videos and the majority have commentary. try doing some with speech and see what the reaction is I like to hear people talk Explain who they are talking to problems with there bike etc. it makes it all part of the journey sorry don't like to seem like I'm preaching to the converted Thanks again....

Most appreciated, thanks. They are indeed.

It is Robert. So close to europe yet another world!

I am not racing anybody which helps but also when you are in a new place the excitement keeps you going no matter how tired you get.

Thanks Michael, it's a repost of an older video. I mostly leave my voice out as I find it very annoying but I know what you mean! Friend of mine, who also has toured on a Brompton in the past and he joined for half of the trip. The loop I did from Marrakesh up the Atlas mountains and back has a few pretty remote stretches but every day you cross a few villages if not towns so there are chances to stock up on water. Season was February which is perfect for the arid areas and Marrakech and was OK up in the mountains but can get pretty cold and with some bad luck you can also get snow up there. I was quite lucky as I heard it snowed on top of one of the passes few days after I descended. Highly recommended for a post Covid trip!

Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for pointing out it wasn't there... I probably wouldn't have found out for a good while! :) I might have to rework a couple of older videos too as I know they also have issues with music and one day they might be removed.

Given there are people traveling the world on a skateboard nowadays, I doubt I will ever make it! Thanks for the thought.

Fantastic! Thanks Shafiq

Thanks Kevin, will bear that in mind for future videos then!

I am!

I did! Nice mint tea…

Such a wonderful place!

Jay, I find that the Brompton is quite twitchy and needs getting used to when not loaded but when I carry bags with weight, as I do when touring, it gets much more stable. Of course you still need to take care when going downhill as the small wheels can be unforgiving if you hit a rock or a pothole. You must always remain focus and ride slower than you would do on a regular bike. Go for it!

Thanks for all comments Jim, most appreciated. Bromptons are sturdy little bikes… California video had lots of copyright issues and I had no choice but uploading one with cooyright free songs… cheers

Stelio, grazie questo è un video di alcuni anni fa che ho dovuto rifare con musica senza diritti d'autore visto che l'originale è stato bloccato! Il giro fatto è molto bello, parte e arriva a Marrakesh. Non ho tracce GPS ma per darti un idea partenza Marrakesh su R203 per salire sugli Atlas fino al Passo Tizi n' Test sopra i 2000m discesa verso Tafingoult fino a N10 per poi continuare verso Taliouine, Tazenakht. Poi visti i limiti di tempo ho preso un bus per Zagora e ho continuato a nord verso Valle della Draa fino a Ouarzazate poi P1506 ( che allora era praticamente tutta sterrata...non so ora ) comunque bellissima e fattibile anche su Brompton. Poi salita verso Tizi n' Tichka per continuare verso Marrakesh. Ciao.

Most kind. Thanks!

🇲🇦

Thanks Peter... I have a couple more older video that need redoing.

Glad you like them!

Thanks! I can't recall all the songs but I remember Desert Rose by Sting, The Trellis by Nick Mulvey and maybe Neneh Cherry and Youssou N'Dour 7 seconds.

@@BromptonTraveler Those are the ones, that's perfect, thank you.

Hope to be able to one day!

Song is 'Can I be forgiven' by Sleepaway Camp. Thanks!

I must redo Utah too! That has a fair amount of copyrighted music in it...

Thanks

Is it??? I will see if I can make it there one day... Thanks.

Couldn't agree more. Only travel can really show you what it is like. Thanks

At that time I was using an iPhone 6s and a GoPro 4 black. GoPro at that time were still a bit shaky, newer ones are much more stable. Thanks!

I usually find that saving ounces doesn't go well with touring when you need to carry lots of stuff with you anyway. Reducing weight in the things you bring is a cheaper option. One can tour with any bike but 6 Gears and rear rack are something I wouldn't do without when touring. It looks like a cool light Brompton option for the city if you can afford it.

Yeah the p line looks nice but I think you need the full six gears when touring as especially if you hit some steep hill s the lowest gear is a blessing,plus £2400 for a bike that is basically the same but only bag off sugar lighter seems quite an expensive upgrade.

Non mi hanno fatto problemi, solamente il video che prima era visibile con monetizzazione agli autori è stato per qualche ragione rimosso. Saluti

👏🏻

Thanks for the comment. Both have some truth in it but are also exaggerations. I am certainly not a beast cyclist but rather your average cyclist that loves touring and discovering places this way. As far as the second one goes I am definitely someone that loves his space and fairly independent but do not feel sad about it! Bike touring can be a shared experience with friends or in a group but I doubt I would have ever been able to do some of the journeys I did had I waited for a buddy to come along and join me.

@@BromptonTraveler Thank you SO much for the detailed reply. You're too modest. You are a very good cyclist. I agree wholeheartedly that one's friends will not participate in all your hobbies And I was curious may I know your real nationality, i'm guessing German And have you had ALL your adventures on 1 Brompton? And kindly pardom me if i'm asking questions you've already answered in other videos, am new to your channel, if you have you can direct me to the videos of yours where you have. Best wishes from an Indian living abroad!

@@Ivandrago89 From Italy Max but have been living in the UK for many years. Northern Italy though so you were not too far :)

@@BromptonTraveler wow hahaa thank you. :)

slowly and with patience!

I have read comments about that so for some it has happened. I personally never had any issues and I have made very long and steep descents while touring. I suppose it might be down to extreme hot temperatures that can compound the problem and maybe also riding style. I am conservative on descents with small wheels and use the brakes in short bursts.

@@BromptonTraveler had a problem with my Birdy 18" in Kreta ,air temperature ca. 40 °C , and with my 20" Schwalbe Shredda in Corsika on a Dahon Speed Versa9, with Kinetix Pro wheels only 14/16 spokes. So I converted to tubeless. So looking forward to disk brakes, maybe on a Tern Verge/Savadeck. see you on the road.. thnx so far

@@detharp I suppose disk brakes will sort all those problems! Thanks.
