Last weekend I ventured out in Snowdonia to get my outdoor fix.
The main thing I love about bikepacking is big views:
A few pics and a film of the trip too....

Another cracking film ST. One thing that’s often confused me with your films though. It looks as though you are out there on your own, but in that case you must spend almost as much time filming as riding and I can’t work out how you get some of the panning shots with you riding.

Filming is time consuming: see what might be a good shot; set up camera; ride back x hundred metres; ride back to and past camera; retrieve camera.

Panning shots are likely to be done in editing: select a small area of the original then move it across the frame to give the illusion of panning.

Thanks again guys!
Yeah the panning of shots is done in the editing. I can see why some peeps would see it as a pain setting up the camera and not carrying on with the ride but for me its what I enjoy about being out. For me having a film or a selection of photo's will hopefully inspire others to do what I fully enjoy and also I hope that one day my kids will be inspired too to get out in the fresh air 🙂

I took our dog (Labrador) up the north ridge of Tryfan. Interesting especially when he decides he's going to push, outwards 😳
