Hey guys,

as promised, here my most recent video documentation of my transalp adventure in 2011. Again, I went alone and spent the nights in my sleeping bag whenever it was not too cold. English subtitles are available. Have fun!

Your videos are a work of art. Much more Zen in this one and so very enjoyable.

Wow!, Thanks for sharing that! Lots of time and work went into putting that together. Very nicely done video of an incredible Epic journey.

Thanks.

@all: Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm still working on improving my filming skills, but sometimes it is really hard to motivate yourself to film a scenery when you're totally exhausted or frustrated. I think you fellow bikepackers know that feeling! :-) Unfortunately, those often are the moments that are most worthwhile watching afterwords. When I had to cross that dangerous path along the cliff I really wanted to film more, but I considered it too dangerous fiddling with the cam while carrying the bike with one hand and clinging to the rock wall with the other. I didn't want to let go either of them. :-)
I'm thinking of buying an old GoPro cam for future tricky situations or when it gets wet.

That looked like a lot of work... I really enjoyed that. If you want, I could link it to my blog, I get a fair amount of trafic. again good work.

That would be great, thanks!

Go for the Hi Def point of view camera to match your fine G12 work with the Canon and you'd be set. Just thinking of those one handed descents holding a camera are making ME nervous :-)  Thanks again for taking us along!

GREAT job on the film. I used to work with Bosch and spent a bit of time in Immenstadt. You did a great job of showing the beauty of the area. The trip looked frustrating but fun... keep up the good work!

sub-xero,

i'm planning on doing a very similar trip this coming summer (http://www.bikepacking.net/forum/index.php/topic,2749.0.html) and would love to pick your brains about your experience.

funnily enough i came across your youtube video a few days ago and thought you did a hell of job on a very tough route!

if you're interested in chatting about it all then let me know and i'll email you (or we can do it here so everyone can benefit from the intel exchange).

cheers, gairy.

I think I may be one of the best sources concerning your trip. I will answer your posting later today. Meanwhile you can check out my website, which I finally started to translate to English. You will find a lot of information there about bikepacking in the Alps.
