Thanks Paul. Surely there's only maybe Egton Banks that you might not have done?

Yeh, They stop the wind and rain, they are in the way little mind...

It had got over 0°c by then too...

I'm from Billingham, not far but not as close to the moors as you are :)

Could have been a lot worse to be fair.

I don't make the rules bud, It's the steepest road in the UK though, I think there's just one section on a corner that might qualify it but I agree that it's not remotely difficult to ride.

Yeh, all the rivers were low like that.

@mykheaton did you freeze ya bollocks off Monday ?

@garytaylor7611 Pretty much, my feet and face were cold. I'd put muffs on the bike though and heated grips :)

This is at the top of summer lodge bud.

@mykheaton cool. Where's the nearest village

@gattoflyer sorry mate, it's in the Dales a bit after Reeth.

Nice. You get about 🎉

@gattoflyer I'm dead lucky to live near both the Moors and the Dales :)

Class isn't it :)

Oh thanks. I use OSMand on my Galaxy S24 ultra. I make the routes up using Basecamp first though...

Class, It'd be a different world on your MT10. :)

Aw thanks. :)

Best ever lol

Yeh, proper lovely and good craic ;)

Sounds cool, pretty similar to the route I did on Sunday :)

@mykheaton went to do lowna lane as well to find out it's now shut. Not ideal, it's a good lane that as well.

@rallyedan1066 Yeh we have to go down thunderheads to get to it now bud.

@@mykheaton is thunder heads the other side over the bridge? Is only the first part near the water crossing closed?

@rallyedan1066 no it's further round, it's closed about half way up the lane mate.

If you're on my Facebook I can send you a route bud. I use a quadlock :)

@mykheaton I'll add/follow you 👍

@rallyedan1066 you'll regret it lol

@mykheaton ha are quad locks worth the money, are they as good as people say ?

@rallyedan1066 I've had them on my bikes for ages, they're in two cars, my truck and a few in the house!

Yeh, it seems to reflect the light source. It's brilliant. Richa Flare I think it's called.

Yeh and no fords, we can do this one of you like?

What do you mean?

@@rallyedan1066 I didn't meet them but had been told that by our TRF chairman. Best to ride quietly and bugger off eh lol

I've "met" them once, a few years ago now when i was doing some reconnaissance and plotting a route before I rode the lanes. Best to avoid them really and not engage with them.

@rallyedan1066 Sounds like people in general lol. To be honest we've never had any bother with anyone yet. Early days I suppose...

I'd seen videos and thought I'd avoid it in the winter. It's boggy in the summer still so not sure it gets any better. Davey wants to do it in the snow!

Ha its getting over their in the snow is the problem, the rig and blakey ridge can have 5ft snow drifts in places.

th-cam.com/video/FPw-zV4d37A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DrQlifyZGDycEEk1 ​@@rallyedan1066 Rudland Rigg and Monket bak in the snow was a lesson for sure!

Just take a friend lol

@mykheaton always a good idea 😂

@gattoflyer Yeh, I don't always but we both defo needed a hand on that lane. And the next, I fell off twice and ended upside down both times lol

@mykheaton . Yeah it's that just incase scenario... you never know of something is gonna break on the bike or self....and be left stranded without help or a phone signal

@gattoflyer Yeh, Also the people who live in the mill don't really want us there so probably wouldn't help lol

Thanks, Mate every bit of that was slippy AF and even steeper!

Those cameras usually make stuff look flat and that lane looked steep, must've been tough.

@@Reids-Rides Especially for a noob like me lol

@mykheaton I had a ride up scugdale this afternoon. Got about as far as you did then turned around. I was on my own and didn't want it going pear shaped on me. Next time though 🤟🏻

@gattoflyer I told you not to go alone lol.

Not as Pretty though in my eyes, Is that your favourite?

GS would do it easy I'm sure :)

No mate, nearly every video of someone using a gopro has complaints about the gopro lol. I have a Insta 360 camera. Well two of them actually. The x2 and the x4. Both are cool though :)

Aw thanks. Yeh that descent was a bit of a surprise, it's never looked very steep on the videos. Gotta love the Scrambler though right :)

?

Hi bud, this is Lowna near Hutton le Hole. There'll be a TRO on it soon though :(

​@mykheaton yes it is, it's the water level and width of that crossing that through me off. Usually a tro during the winter isn't there anyway? Was shut for some time a couple of years ago. It's a good lane. Gets nick name 1000 gates for a reason ha 😅

@rallyedan1066 It's normally just a trickle isn't it. I think the TRO starts at the end of this month...

Is it only a temporary tro like usual? Shame, it's a good lane.

@rallyedan1066 Hopefully, I guess we'll see when it happens. This would be the best lane in the moors but for all those gates wouldn't it. I think some are there just to discourage us... lol

That sounds expensive!

@@mykheaton I have been working as a social media marketer and TH-cam growth specialist for the last three years. I will do some videos free of SEO optimization and don't have to pay for it. If you get good results after the work and are satisfied, then we can pay me

Sounds good, this is for fun though, more like a photo album than anything else. I certainly don't make any money from it all...

Are you being sarcastic? Lpl

@mykheaton not at all. I enjoy watching the videos and am going to try and do some of the routes 👍🏻

@gattoflyer Ah righto. Have you got a desert x or something?

@@mykheaton me and my pal have KTM Freeride 250f

@@gattoflyer Oh that's cool!

Aw thanks. They weren't deep really though deep enough, the water was still though so no worries :)

We both had the perfect bike. How could it be hard to choose between that? Lol

Aw thanks. I got rid of my africa twin for this 2020 XE and have no regrets. I just turn the key on and put it in a pocket for the rest of the day unless I need to lock the steering which isn't often. I leave the fuel cap unlocked.

Ta for the reply, how much of a difference do you feel performance wise between the crf1000 & the 1200 scrambler on the road, I can’t go off road bad back haha 👍

@WheelieGood-el2br I had the CRF1100. Obviously there's a difference but the Triumph has way more low down grunt and pulls harder from low down. It's not half as top heavy either.

Cheers pal, sounds good to me, mine was the adventure sport, plus torque appeals more than bhp, thanks enjoy last bit of summer 🌞

There were some cars behind us there. Someone will have had to reverse until there is space to pass.

@@mykheaton i figured that, it just seems silly to make such narrow roads

@Kicacanalong These roads came from a time before motor vehicles, some are drovers roads - from shepherd's moving their animals, some are from Roman times. If they are used enough they get maintained and resurfaced. If they aren't used they are left as dirt roads. I wouldn't like to take a car on some but people do. It must be a nightmare for them...

Do you know riding a motorbike requires the use of both hands?

Stunning. Better mid week mind. It's always busy on a weekend.

Just ride smooth and within your limits and it's no bother...

Er, by what?

@@mykheaton lucky there wasn’t a car coming the other way as the road dipped near the second car and would have hidden any oncoming cars. Was a study move

@mintymintos3455 Nar I could see plenty. It just doesn't show on the camera.

It wasn't blind, I could see plenty. Maybe it doesn't show clearly on the video.

Was class to see you mate :)

Dalby forest mainly mate.

@@mykheaton cool i live in richmond, all this on my doorstep, might have to rethink what i want for a 2nd bike next year 👍

@@sensiblestoner5766 Depends on your first bike but i'm in love with my little 250, Might get a 300 rally next mind.

@@mykheaton i jumped straight on a fazer 1000 i love it to bits but round here its like trying to drive a f1 car on the street lol i really want to get out and explore green lanes etc.. but no idea where to start.

@sensiblestoner5766 Well there's plenty where you are bud. Get a little off roader. I have a crf 250l Maybe join GLASS to get their map of legal lanes, or join the TRF or Northern Adventure bike riders on Facebook if you want to ride with people :)

Yup, on the moors...

Hey buddy, this is an Insta360 x2
