It was free at the time I made the video. Run by Bilway Marine Services on behalf of Peel Ports. Not sure now in 2024

It’s near Total Fitness in Chester maps.app.goo.gl/vWiHNjHjHr97Kvtv7?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

The start is on the Chester millennium Greenway next to Total Fitness Chester

The ponds u can fish in and are quite good and the places are more over grown and torn up and u can’t get in to the first one without climbing in through the roof

I’m not special. Are you sanctimonious?

@@runsandrides yes, and law abiding! 😉

I check that out next time I'm there, thanks

Thanks for the message. It is a great run I agree. I hope to get back there soon

I’m glad you enjoyed it. There are great riding / driving roads around there. Not a busy as the Lakes either

Have a look a the Strava activity for the ride it shows the start and finish www.strava.com/activities/3843471920

@@runsandrides Will do thank you so much for your prompt reply.

Agreed!

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I hope you have a great time in May. I'm sure you will, the riding is excellent. Feel free to contact me if you want any more information about my trip. Cheers Iain

@@runsandrides Thanks, Iain, just a quick question, what are the temperatures likely to be ? Last time I went was in March '22 and as I'm sure you can imagine, it was bloody cold !! What kit did you wear ?

@@stevenmort3464 I did this trip to Spain last year towards the end of April. Temperatures were very varied, lowest around 0C on the various passes of the Picos and Cantabria, snow also in places, though roads were clear. Even on this Potes triangle ride it was sunny and 20 degrees in Cangas de Onís, but below 0C on Puerto de San Glorio and sleet in Riano. On the tour, I went down to Salamanca and then to Porto; temperatures were mid to high twenties. On my last day of the tour, I rode from Riano to Bilbao, with snow and below zero temperatures on several Picos passes, then raining hard all day at lower altitudes; it was a grim day but I had to catch the ferry. If you've got the space, you could take both winter and summer riding kit, but probably like me you won't want to do that. I opted for my summer kit (Mesh jacket with removable liner; riding jeans; light boots). I took both summer and winter gloves (my winter ones are electrically heated); various extra layers, various socks including waterproof ones, and a Goretex jacket and over trousers (standard hiking kit which I wore over the top of my riding gear). It was ok apart from the last day when I did get wet and cold (it didn't matter as I was on the ferry for 36 hours and could dry out all my kit) In May you will probably be ok with summer kit, but do pack extras for when it's cold / wet. Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I hope you have a great time in May. I'm sure you will, the riding is excellent. Feel free to contact me if you want any more information about my trip. Cheers Iain

Thanks for your comment. I definitely recommend the NC500. (Even though I didn’t video much of it). I’ll have a look at your channel. Cheers

Sorry I don't know. I assume you are looking at this www.hulmesferry.co.uk/timetable/ There is a mobile number on there; maybe that's the ferry man who can advise!

It was 7.4km along the river (I ran further than that to get there see www.strava.com/activities/5197615161 )

I use Shotcut. It’s free and does what I need. shotcut.org

I think the block thing halfway up the handlebars is where the electronics which make the Ginger network stuff work are located (I assume GPS, 3G modem etc). There is a front light, though I can't remember where it is on those particular scooters; they seem to have an upgraded model now which is slightly different. What do you mean by the 'folding bit'? Note it's currently illegal to buy your own scooter and use it on the public roads - only hire ones are allowed (though many people use them anyway)

John, Yes I agree about the sound it’s like it’s underwater. If you get anything from Innovv which fixes it please let me know. Thanks for your comment. Iain

I have an Innovv K5 and I had to experiment to find the right place to place the microphone... as for the HUGE main/front Camera/dvr, nightmare.

I have bought a Mic Muff (thats what its called!) to try to improve the sound. I have also been having problems with the length of the clips, set to 3 minutes it was doing all kind of weird times, 1:20, 0:56, etc. I spoke to Innovv and told them that a different card to the one they supplied was ok, they didn't agree, I will do some more trials and get back to them.

@@bikerbardy I set my video to 10 mins which works ok. I don’t get any variation in the video length (apart from the last one of a sequence). I think the sound problem is excessive compression by the electronics system rather than something physical with the mic. I intend to try a different mic at some point (I have a mic under my seat for use with my GoPro no issues with that)

Thanks for your comment!

We had a lovely holiday there. Thanks for your comment

Yes it is!

Yes you are right, I picked up the scooter from outside Bache Post Office

@@runsandrides thas cool lol

Haha you are right I hadn't heard that!

Some of your vids are in south Liverpool, so I know what you mean. I work in Speke, cycling is a skill in itself to dodge the potholes

It was a good one Ed. Hopefully another ride next week including Kev!

Nice one Sean. The 20x one is too fast I think

I must have run past the fairy door lots of times and never noticed it before. I look forward to running the route with you when the lock-down is over :)

I make all sorts of noises whilst running
