The music fits it so well

How many miles is this trail, where does it start and end?

Tough hike ! Nice video

I love Holden Beach❤❤❤

Does it go through Crofton?

One thing I noticed you did but did not mention was when you put the film back onto the body you pushed the button over before putting it all the way into place. That helps reduce wear on the tabs and the back.

Did he just waste a whole perfectly good roll of film??

Too many people walking on the trails to really enjoy the ride.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍3

Your channel so underrated! If you ever get back into the northern Maryland area, check out Fair Hill... It's very hilly but very beautiful as well, I'm probably there at least once a month

Excellent content. Makes me want to go for a bike ride on that trail. Well done. 👍

Nice video. Thank you for sharing.

Helpful video for someone looking to load a Rollei 35 for the first time. One thing I would’ve pointed out is to make sure the film is loaded and advancing properly after loading by watching the center of the rewind crank. If loaded properly it should turn as you advance the lever just as confirmation you’re loaded correctly for a frame or two. Good habit with any manual film camera. Thanks again.

Definitely gonna try this out. Just moved here and getting a bike this spring. Looks like a nice ride.

very helpful - thanks 🙏

This is very clear! Thank you! I’m also wondering what clips you have to connect the peak design anchors?

I see this video just for curiosity, and i view is a PERFECT explanation of how to put and remove the 120 roll, i have exactly this camera and enjoy to much taking pictures with this piece of technology, just to think a little bit on this the camera does not have a single battery and works perfectly and you also get incredible images

I have been using these little jewels for over 50 years and I find it easier for me to hook the film leader first, advance, fire, advance, close the pressure plate and then drop the cassette in place. Very comprehensive review!

Thanks! I never had a camera like this where the back slides down in order to load film. Helped cleared up the steps for me!

This was so helpful to me as well, thank you!

I should've watched this before I loaded my film on my own, because I got the first 6 frames empty when I developed my film lol 😅 I almost freaked out pulling that roll from the canister, oh well. Thanks for the helpful video!

I found this very helpful. Thank-you.

With these old manual film backs, there is no need to align the black arrow that is on the paper backing. On the automatic film backs, you will have to align the black arrow with the marks on the film back insert. One more point, you can load the film back while still attached to the camera if you don’t feel like messing around with the dark slide.

A clear and simple demonstration. Thank you.

Great video

My fav trail to ride every weekend, of course it doesn't hurt that I'm only 12 mins away. Had to slow the video down though.

Thank you for your time in making and uploading this video.

Great video. I have the Rollei 35 LED and I can't get the film to take. I've wanted two rolls. So frustrating so hopefully your video helps. Thanks

Do you feel comfortable going full speed on this course?

My initial reaction was another pointless "how to load your camera" video. However, it is a very well organized and presented video on the process of loading one of the fussiest 35mm cameras ever made. As a Rollei 35 owner for decades, I'm long used to its peculiarities, but you can end up wishing for three hands when first introduced. My offer: The most troublesome aspect of the loading or unloading process in my experience is reinstalling the back. The fitting tolerances are very tight, and you have to start the back in the grooves at the sides, not just slide it up from the bottom of the body. Otherwise, it tends to jam when you try to slide it up and closed. Takes a bit of practice. Overall, nicely done.

Just purchased a new bike and been wanting to do this trail for a while thanx for posting

How long is the trail one way?

One could ride (paved portion) Rock Creek to/from Lake Needwood. To do it only one direction, one can metro train from anywhere DC metro area, red line to Shady Grove. From there, roll out the parking garage side to Redland Road. Left on roadside trail, go past Crabbs Branch intersection, next light right turn is Needwood Road. Paved trail there to Lake Needwood entrance. Right side of the lake is dirt trail, left side is park roads. Far end of the lake starts Rock Creek trail.

Didn’t realize you already had the South Island Trail video made. Great job

Like the video. The only drawback is the speed of the video. I bike this trail often so I know where everything is but if you don’t some of it would be hard to follow. I do think that this video will get a lot more people to bike the trail. Can’t wait to see your South Island Trail video. 😊🚴‍♂️👍

Woah I was there

Is the garage still free on weekends?

Why do you fast forward?

Nice ride. I've never done the portion north of Rt 29. My usual ride will start at Silver Spring metro, follow Sligo Creek to the Anacostia River Trail, and then into DC. Makes for a good 15 mile ride.

I loooooooooooooove this camera 😍

Nice hiking vibes, Wonderful autumn colors, and a beautiful trail. Bravo!

Wow, thumbnail is absolutely gorgeous my friend. Beautifully presented trail. 🔥🔥

This is technically in MD. Went today. Nice job

at 5:30 the video goes to the right of the towpath sign. you need to go to the left. Is the video edited? This video was very helpful, we rode this part of the SRT today.

Our first ascent to the top of Telescope Peak was February, 1972. We used 12 point salewa adjustable Crampons and a aluminum Ice axe. No need for rope. Very icy and windy on the final trek up to the summit. Steep slopes on both sides up the final leg. Then the proverbial signing of the climbers log on the summit. It was windy and cold. Our thermostat read minus -10 F with the wind chill factoring in. So cold that one of our polaroid cameras froze up the shutter mechanism. Great views of Death Valley Below. Subsequently through the years we climbed Telescope Peak three more times, twice in the winter and one in the spring. Back in those days the Wildrose Ranger station was still occupied, but closed during the heavy winter period. I remember also signing in at the Wildrose Station as a courtesy for the Ranger that we were heading up the road to hike up to Telescope Peak.

Wow. All the way through Georgetown. Nice video. Do you happen to have a strava route for this?

I've hiked that trail many times but the last time was over 40 years ago. Thanks for the memory!

Nice video, thanks for sharing! When I was in Harper's Ferry I wanted to do this hike, but it was foggy so I skipped it. Hoping to get back there soon in order to check it out! I'm enjoying your hiking videos, I've subscribed to keep up with you!
