Trans Cambrian

Last summer Harry and I headed off to Wales to ride the Trans Cambrian mountain bike route which runs for 100 miles from Knighton, on the England / Wales border over the Cambrian mountains to Dovey Junction on Cardigan Bay. About 70% of the ride is off-road on bridleways, singletrack and doubletrack, through some fairly remote Welsh countryside.We took some photos and video, and made a little film (at the bottom of this post).We both took some video and I put this little film together. It was my first attempt at making something like this. It's far from perfect, a lot of the clips (and hence the whole film) are too long, the difference in quality from the different cameras is huge, some of the editing is a bit sloppy and the clips towards the end are a little random and not totally in keeping with the tunes (although they do reflect the trip). I also some have extra footage from Harry and have been meaning to re-cut the film to include it. Perhaps I'll get around to that at some point, but for now, it is what it is. It was fun to make, I learnt heaps and it makes me smile. And you get to listen to three songs by Deers, a small band from Norwich who I stumbled across in a tiny tent late at night at Latitude 2013.https://vimeo.com/78028506You can get information on the Trans Cambrian route from the IMBA - we ordered their printed route guide with maps. We stayed in possibly the oddest B&B in Knighton (which I therefore won't recommend) and left our car there over the weekend, timing things so that we got to Dovey Junction on the morning of the fourth day and had plenty of time to get the train back to Knighton via Shrewsbury.  An awesome few days.
