Brockenhurst to Brighstone, England | Bicycle Tour Video
Take a look at my latest bicycle tour video, Brockenhurst to Brighstone, posted on my YouTube channel today. It’s the video version of the post I wrote on the 31st of October 2025 while on tour. Apologies for the rather dark start to the video. As in light, not dark, as in sinister. I hadn’t realised it was so bad. I was in the tent packing away my pannier. But it’s not for long, as I soon leave camp.
The New Forest is full of autumnal colours and puddles. I hadn’t realised how much rain must have fallen overnight. As I cycle through the New Forest, I bump into a familiar face. Out of the forest, I’m cycling on the busy roads heading for Lymington and the Isle of Wight ferry. But I have a change of mind and head for the quieter cycle route instead.
Once I’m on the Isle of Wight, it’s a tough ride; there’s a strong wind, which gets even harder as I change direction and have to cycle uphill directly into the wind. Luckily, it’s only a short ride across the island, and I’m soon at Grange Farm. I now have to battle the wind to put up my tent. Which, being on the cliff, isn’t exactly sheltered from the strong southerly wind. Will I survive the night?
You can watch the video below or on my YouTube channel. But to be honest, it won’t be any more enjoyable wherever you watch it! You can also subscribe to my YouTube channel. You’ll then be amongst the first to know when I release a new video.
