RL can be frightening. If you are ever really concerned during a night ride/walk, travel at least 4-500mtrs find cover and switch off all lights (move without lights where you can, or use the lowest level possible). Wait 20 minutes and repeat if nothing happens (changing direction if possible), then repeat again until safe. If you hear or see anybody, stay covered and prepare yourself. 99% of the time it is nothing to be worried about. Looking foward to the next part of the King Alfred's Way. Great vids as usual.

I got my tent down early in the morning ridding along Drake's Trail down towards Plymouth from high up on Dartmoor. Was around 2am when i got to this tunnel on the disused railway track. I already been though many tunnels on this coast to coast route i was taking so this was no different. However more than half way though the tunnel i pass one the many side tunnels where i heard something hitting a metal bar. The side tunnels have been barred off. Only when i exited the tunnel i felt safe enough to say what happened. Heard the bar being hit just after i ride past the tunnel at 1:10 on the video. The Devon Coast to Coast Cycle Route is a 99 mile route from Ilfracombe in north Devon to Plymouth. It skirts the National Parks of both Exmoor and Dartmoor and incorporates part of the Tarka Trail, The Granite Way and Drake's Trail. Runs for over half its length on off-road routes along disused railway lines

Right, listen! What you filmed is something rather special. Plasmoid anomolies are automonous objects that have been observed for many years but nobody talks about them. They use adaptive camouflage ( here a balloon) mimicking their surroundings just like some cephalolpods in the sea. They are polymorphic and can fly anywhere and change their shape. Look at channels like Mr anomolous, plasmoid anomoly study group. There you will see many different types. They mostly disguise themselves as balloons. You can actually summon them from the atmosphere with concious thought. As shown on mr anomolous channel. Please reply with your findings. Cheers. Great video!

Nice one Rich. I watched all of that in parts throughout the week. I perked up when you hit the Basingstoke Canal and passed by Aldershot at Farnham. I trained to be a para around there mate. I have so many memories in that area. In fact skated on that canal in the winter of 84. Well, good going - the bike performed well. Mark
