Dorset Bike Ride: Symondsbury to West Bay
Highlights of a bike ride one sunny Sunday from Symondsbury to West Bay, Bridport. Includes some unusual and exciting shots of the great West Dorset landmark Colmers Hill, known locally as Pudding Basin HIll. And keep watching till the end if you want to see what it's like going down the East Cliff at West Bay. Can it be for real?
Film shot and edited by Stephen Banks, a new contributor to Transition Vision TV.
Motorbike Coast Ride From Axminster to Weymouth
A really popular ride if you live in Somerset and Dorset area, is the well known Coast road that goes from Sidmouth all the way along the A3052 to Lyme Regis. Then onto the A35 to West Bay, and B3157 through Abbotsbury then onto Weymouth.
You wouldn't class it as a fast road, in fact much of it is restricted to 50 or 40mph but the views are spectacular along the Jurassic Coast and there's some great little sea front stops to grab a coffee of bite to eat.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We go looking for the best routes to ride. Our focus is on great roads and scenery, stopping off to enjoy the sights along the way. If you are looking for inspiration for your next ride, then this is a great place to start. We include maps and useful information so you can plan your trip so you can take in the same roads you see in our films.
Do you know some great roads we should ride? Tell us where they are, and maybe we'll go and make a film.
4K Panasonic GH4 (hand held) video of West Bay on Jurassic Coast
This video of West Bay - Bridport UK on the Dorset Jurassic Coast and a location of award winning Broadchurch TV series was shot hand held on a Panasonic GH4 in 4K 2160p.
Given I was under a bit of time pressure to shoot clips - just over an hour - I opted to use GH4 auto default settings. Also I find using a tripod can be cumbersome and working without one makes it far easier to merge in as somebody taking holiday snaps.
Stability was achieved using the GH4 built-in view finder horizontal level indicator and subsequently bulk passing all clips through proDAD Mercalli 7 stabilization software.
Before anybody asks about glass, I was using Panasonic Lumix G Vario 7-14mm f4.0 Micro Four Thirds Ultra wide-angle lens with editing in Sony Vegas 13.
Bicycle Touring Devon Somerset & Dorset / Bikepacking, Bike Touring Route / May 2019 Bike Tour,
A bicycle tour through 3 counties along sections of the National Cycle Network. The route was planned using the Sustrans online map and then plotting the route onto Google Maps and customizing the route as I worked out where I wanted to go. I then converted the Google Maps route to a GPX file saved on my mobile phone. Lots of mobile GPS Apps to choose from nowadays. I also wrote all the Town and Village names in a notebook.
Total Milage was 327 miles over 7 days.
The bike is a KONA DEW fitted with MTB disc brake wheels.
Tyres, Continental Doublefighter 2 (no punctures on the tour)
Total gear weight 38lb excluding water.
Special Thanks...Louise (Bridport) making sure I was ok after the collision and helping to get the bike ridable again. Auto Bitz Cycle Dept. (Bridport) for getting to work on the bike immediately and done within the hour.
