Motorcycle Tour of the Northumberland 250 - Episode 4
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ต.ค. 2021
- The final episode of our fantastic tour of the Northumberland 250 sees us leave Alston to ride the brilliant B6277. I must admit I wasn't aware of this road until I watched "BanditmanUK" aka Richard and Carol's You Tube channel. They do an occasional video on Britain's Best Biking roads (We really recommend you check out their channel!). Thanks Richard! It was indeed a superb road to ride and during our coffee break in Middleton-in-Teesdale Sue bumped into a local couple (also bike riders) who gave us another tip and suggested we ride the B7267. It turned out to be another brilliant road and totally deserted - which could have been due to it being "closed"! Nevertheless, what a great ride and a big thanks to the workman who kindly let us through at the end! And so on the the stunning Lake District - obviously not on the Northumberland 250 but what a great way to finish of an amazing tour. Apart from the heavy traffic around Windermere, the ride into Langdale was sublime and the hotel was situated in the heart of the Langdale Valley - a stunning location. A great way to finish the tour. We hope you enjoy this final episode and as ever, if you do please gives us a THUMBS UP, comment, share and subscribe! Thank you for watching!
Accommodation: The New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel £150 (expensive but that's what you pay for the location)
The Route: Alston, Middleton-in-Teesdale, Brough, Ambleside, Langdale

Nice to the musicians credited ,fantastic vid thank you both .
Thank you Peter! We appreciate your comments! 😀👍
Thank you Brian , thank you Sue for your quality work and hard effort producing yet another wonderful video. How nice to sit at home on Sunday at Beer òclock and be taken along. Very soothing background music too. Just the perfect adult entertainment for riders. By the way, i am sporting a midlife motorcycle diariesˋ sweatshirt and cap. Very nice quality and comfortable to wear. Greetings, jim

Stunning, terrific, fab...and the sounds bar idea works well too!

great tour,no blue sky but still cool in many ways ,enjoyed.
Thank you! Yes, the only thing missing was a blue sky - but in the UK you can never guarantee anything, especially the weather !☔️🌞😀
Really enjoyed the tour, look forward to watching your next adventure 😊
Thanks Del! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍😀
Thanks for the ride along and video
Thanks Jim! Good to have you along! 😀👍
Another amazing video guy's.
Incidentally, I must have rode the B6276 Middleton to Brough shortly after you, and did as you did, ignored the signs and went on🙏. We got the the road works and a nice worker waved us through until further down the road we came across another set of road works, this time wasn't as easy getting through but with a few shaking heads we managed 👍. A beautiful road and oddly a totally different ride in the opposite direction. Thanks again for sharing your experience in what's my local riding roads.
Thanks very much Chris! What a coincidence - maybe you got the same nice worker we got 😀 it seems that road has been “closed” for some time 🤔 such a great road to ride - you’re very lucky to have them so near! 😀👍
Brilliant! Here’s to the next trip. 👍
Thank you Stephen! Glad you enjoyed it! 😀👍
Enjoyed this vidio you take a lott of care thanks stay happy
Thanks very much Leslie! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching! 😀👍
Well,I think that's just about every road I ride Bike on covered! Another fantastic episode guys! 😊👍
Thanks Barry! We’re glad you enjoyed our tour around your backyard! 👍😀
The road through Alston is now open 👍🏻👍🏻 loved the videos. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Paul! Great to hear the road is now open again 👍 I’m sure at the residents and shopkeepers have breathed a sigh of relief 😮💨 😀👍
Another amazing video, great music too,.. a nice bit of therapy on this dark damp Saturday morning.
Thank you both so much.
Ride safe!!👍
Thanks very much Rob! Glad it cheered you up on this very dark and damp Saturday! 😀👍
Some stunning roads there, guys, even if the sun wasn’t shining. Some very enjoyable easygoing viewing again 👍👍.
Thank you Chris! The only thing that would have made it perfect would have been the 🌞 👍 thanks for watching! 👍😀
@@midlifemotorcyclediaries I must get up to Northumberland sometime. Although I am a born n bred Devonian, nearly all of my more distant family are Tynesiders. There is a place/area in N’land inland of Alnwick called Biddlestone. I think that, in days of yore, my illiterate, bumpkin forebears probably migrated from the countryside to Newcastle. When their educated betters heard them pronounce where they came from that they would then have written that as “Bittlestone” whereas the surname would still be pronounced “Biddlestone” in a Geordie twang….
@@chrisbittlestone9264 You need to get back to your roots Chris 😂 ! Northumberland is stunning in a different way to Devon - the origins of your family name sounds very plausible! 😀👍
Thanks Brian and Sue another great adventure ,We always enjoy your videos .
Thank you Michael - we’re glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching! 😀👍
We stayed at the Cumberland back in May and rode the same B road passing all the closure signs 😀
Thank you David! At least we weren’t the only rebels! 😂 👍☺️
Great tour and great information about places you stopped at. Thanks for sharing your journey and ride safe
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching! 😀👍
Looks like a great trip superb videos and superb information as usual guys well done look forward to your next one 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🍷🍷🍷🍺🍺👍
Thank you very much! We appreciate your comments and thanks for watching! 👍😀
Always suck having to ride home, but that was some beautiful country. Wish I could go there. Those beers sure looked good also! Nice trip and videography!
Thank you once again! The beer is always good and the country was beautiful! 👍😀
Another great adventure, these videos are so good. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Ride safe guys.
Thank you Tim! We appreciate your comments! 😀👍
Great finale to your tour. I just checked our old routes and we did both of those B roads three years ago on a mini tour with friends to N Yorks and Northumberland. We stopped in a place called Stanhope for lunch. I seem to remember lunch stops more than some of the roads! 🤔
Watching you two inspired me to get on my bike today for the first time in four weeks. So thank you!! Can’t deny my arm was still aching from my recent fall, but was nice to get out for coffee and cake, even though it was a shortish ride. Got caught in a shower on the way home but only hubby was moaning about the rain!! 🙄 🌧🤣...I was just glad to get out. 🙏
P.S. Love music credits too. 👍🏻
Thank you! It must have been good to get back on the bike again 👍 hope you fully recover soon 🤞 even short rides are good! 👍😀
Enjoyed the 360 footage, what a great guy let you though to marks.
Thank you 🙏 he was brilliant! 😀👍
Thanks for another cracking route ... from a couple of ex-bikers, now on four wheels. Noting your accommodation reviews too!
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it even on 4 wheels! 😀👍
Hello you two 🤗. Thank you for another great video. We had a lot of fun watching it. And many thanks for the insertion of the music artists. The music went very well with the atmospheric pictures. I am looking forward to your next trip🥳🎉. Have a nice weekend☺️😉....cheers🍻
Thanks very much Sandra! Glad you enjoyed it (and the music) thanks for watching and have a great weekend too! 👍😀
I really enjoyed watching your upload! Keep up the excellent work! I'm looking
forward to another awesome video! Take care and stay in touch! 🦋🙏🦋
Thank you 🙏 we really appreciate your comments and thanks for watching and supporting our channel! 😀👍
Just watched episode 3 and 4 and both are fantastic videos, really well made. I am very jealous 🤣🤣
Thanks very much John 🙏 really glad you enjoyed them and thanks for watching! 😀👍
Gidday Guys, Great Job on the video. That 360 camera Brian is very cool.Yeah been a Great Trip for you, always a pain when you have to head back to reality LOL. Til next time, Ride safe, Party On! Cheers Paul
Thanks Paul! Yes we hate coming back to reality 😱 much rather just keep rolling! It was a great trip and thanks for watching! 😀👍
yep, some of the best roads in the country around there, love them 🏍
Thank you! Couldn’t agree more - thanks for watching! 😀👍
Well done Sue for telling it how it (the hotel) was, poor and expensive!! I hope it didn't spoil the great riding and the wonderful scenery and at least it stayed dry, great production as usual and putting the title of the music and musician at the bottom is a neat touch.
Thank you David! We just try to tell it as honestly as we can - it’s a real shame when the service doesn’t match the location 😟 however, the riding and scenery were fantastic! 😀👍
Great ride love the lakes and surrounding areas did the kirkstone pass and up to shap
It’s a beautiful place to ride - we loved our brief trip to the Lakes! 😀👍
Thanks for another fantastic video tour.
Thanks very much Malcolm! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching! 😀👍
@@midlifemotorcyclediaries Your very welcome-can't wait for the next one-cheers.
Nice going guys. Was waitng for this. Grest info. Hope to do this next year.
Thank you 🙏 we really loved it and when you do it next year we hope you have as much fun! 😀👍
Hi allways amazing Vids thank you guys!! greets from germany!!
Danke Klaus! We appreciate your comments and thanks for watching! 😀👍
You rebels riding on a closed road, you'll be giving us bikers a bad reputation. Another enjoyable video, thanks for taking the time to put it together, until next time.
Thanks Lee! I blame Sue, she encouraged me 😂 !
We saved your video to watch after dinner tonight, and what a surprise to see our pic in your video (Carol/banditmanuk) so good of you to give us a mention, we really appreciate it, looks like you had a great run on two of our favorite roads, hot chocolate looks amazing btw 😂 we always have to check that roads are actually closed, we have often found we can get through on the bikes.
We loved those roads Carol! Thank you for your Best Biking Roads series 👍 otherwise we might have missed it - Sue has a real weakness for over the top hot chocolate 😂 you’re absolutely right about checking road closed signs! 👍😀
Great set of videos as always, really envy your life style and the trips you make. Keep on riding guy's and living life 👍
Thanks very much Phil! We always believe life is for living and since we both came to biking late in life we want to make the most of it! 👍😀
Oh dear! So much for “Local expert”. I wasn’t aware that the road was closed, but I’m pleased it didn’t spoil the ride. All the better for there being no traffic, only sheep to contend with. Lovely series, look forward to next years.
Cheers
Dennis & Hazel
Thanks so much Dennis! It doesn’t matter about the road closure - if it wasn’t for you we wouldn’t have ridden one of the best ever roads! Thanks again - it was a real gem! Best wishes to both of you! 😀👍
Great series, loved it. Until you reviewed the last hotel I had thought that it looked ideal for our next visit to the lakes. Have to find somewhere else.
Thanks Mike! It was just our experience at the time - it might be so much better when you go 🤔 to be honest, we think it depends upon who’s on duty at any given time. Thanks for watching and we hope you have a great time! 😀👍
Great series of videos well put together and good sound tracks 👍slaynt vie gura mie eu ,Manxman 🇮🇲
Gura mie ayd Gareth! Glad you enjoyed watching our adventures! 😀👍
Brilliant series,loving the music as well.Where to next?
Thanks Gary! Maybe the New Forest 🤔😉😀👍
Hugely enjoyable as ever. Thanks both.
Thank you Richard! Glad you enjoyed it! 😀👍
Thank you for another interesting trip. My wife and I started to learn to ride this year and you've definitely given us some great tips and ideas. Hopefully you're planning your next outing in the not too distant future. 👍
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed it and we’ve given you some ideas 😀 we hope you both have some great trips in the future! 😀👍
Another fabulous video, Sue has really inspired my wife who has taken her CBT and now done a few local trips, and wants to do her tests early next year, and has already started sizing up a tiger 800😀
Hi David, what a lovely note. Thank you so much. I’m so happy to have had a part in getting your wife to ride. Learning really was one of my better decisions! I’m not sure if you’ve watched the videos showing my various bike choices but I started with a BMW GS700 (lower chassis- even though I am 5’6” with quite long legs - longer than Bri’s 😉🤫) Getting my feet flat really gave me some confidence on my first big bike. It took me a while to get used to my Tiger 800 because it was so much more top heavy and I’m personally more comfortable on the 900 where the centre of gravity is significantly lower. Having said that, I know some people prefer the 800 so you guys could have fun trying them both. Wishing you both miles of smiles and thank you for watching our adventures ☺️👍
@@midlifemotorcyclediaries yes, I think we have seen virtually all the videos, your comment about where the centre of gravity is located is not something I have considered between the 800 and 900, I ride an Africa twin and that quite top heavy and takes a bit of getting used to in low speed traffic. We are planning a trip to motorcycle live in December so a good opportunity to look at everything under one roof. My wife is about to watch episode 4,she does like your triumph a lot, she is 5ft 9 long in the leg so she can fit most bike, which includes my Africa twin, better hide the key😂
@@davidlee4966 😂If she’s 5’9” she has a great choice, David 😀 (hide your keys!) We’re going to the Bike Show too, might see you there ☺️👍
Yet again another stunning series , says something when my wife who isn’t a biker loves your videos, looking forward to the next one, many thanks 😊
Thank you Tim! It’s nice to know non bikers also enjoy our adventures 😀 thanks to both of you for watching! 😀👍
Didn't have you down as road rebels! 😀 a great way to round off this series. We rode some of today's roads on the Hadrian's Wall Ride. Always threatening weather up there.
Thank you! It was Sue’s fault 😂 she insisted on being a rebel! Some great roads around Hadrian’s Wall 👍 😀
@@midlifemotorcyclediaries Must go back next year and refer back to your stopovers!
Thanks for another great episode, and I’m so sorry to see this series end. More soon I hope? Perhaps because I’m a foreigner, your footage and descriptions of the towns, pubs, cafes, and hotels are really quite interesting. It’s all so different from our environment here. Thanks again.
Thank you Marco! So glad you enjoyed our adventures 😀 we’ll try and do more soon - thanks again for watching! 👍😀
Where did the red Triumph come from the one you collected was blue ?
@@vernonfewtrell5735 I traded the blue 800 for a red 900 back in March! 😀
Another really great episode. Thanks so much for mentioning our channel and the card for our best biking roads. We love that road.
We've stayed in the New Dungeon Gill Hotel years ago and the service was great so it's a shame the new owners aren't that good. Love walking in the Lakes and the Langdales are our favourite, Bow Fell, Crinkle Crags and so on. Our snowy winter walk I showed on Facebook started at the back of the Old Dungeon Gill Hotel just up the road.
Another great series thank you
Carol and Richard
It’s a pleasure Richard! Wouldn’t really have known about that road if I hadn’t seen your video - great recommendation 👍 the Dungeon Ghyll hotel used to be good by all accounts 🤷♂️ but we did love Langdale and it looks great in the snow too! 👍😀
I’m so ready to visit the UK again. In January it will be 2 years. Too long. Your videos keep my enthusiasm up. Perhaps in March. Now where to go this time? You have given me several ideas. Ride safe.😎👍
Thanks Bill 🙏 about time you came back to Blighty 😀! Two years is a long time! 😀👍
Good set of vids. Haven't been to the Lakes for years, must remedy that next year. And you're right, normality sucks big ones!
Thank you Tim! Glad you enjoyed our adventures - the Lakes are stunning ( when you get past the snarled up traffic around Windermere) but it’s such a beautiful, peaceful place! 😀👍
What a great series well done Brian & Sue , great footage and some great tips thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Thanks very much Dale! We’re glad you enjoyed it! 😀👍
Sad to hear that this was the last episode of a fantastic trip. Hoping for new good videos in the future. Thank you both🤩
Thanks Johnny - we’re sad too! We loved the whole trip and we’re glad you enjoyed watching our adventures! 😀👍
Great series Brian and Sue; thank you for producing and sharing and I look forward to your next adventure. I've recently returned from riding to Montenegro via France, Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia and Switzerland; if you haven't been to the Balkans, I can highly recommend a tour. Ride safe, Andy.
Thanks Andy! Wow 🤩 that Balkan’s tour sounds amazing - how long did it take you? That length of trip would take us forever! 😂😀
@@midlifemotorcyclediaries I was away for 3 and a half weeks all told. The official tour started from my friend’s house just south of Lyon, but it took me two days to get down there and two to get back. The different roads and cultures were amazing; the most frustrating thing was all the speed cameras in Italy!!😂
Yes, definitely a great trip Andy! Probably about 6 weeks for us! 😂😀👍
Nice trip, good to see you over here in Cumbria.
Thank you! We loved Cumbria! 😍😀👍
@@midlifemotorcyclediaries next time visit the western lakes peninsular..some cracking roads...and cake on Birker fell 😁
Thanks! There’s lots more of the Lakes we want to see! 😀👍
Thanks for another cracking video - always appreciated! Try not to be too hard on the hotel staff - the Lake District was very badly affected by Brexit, owing to the disproportionate number of Eastern Europeans working in the hospitality industry around there. Many have returned, and I'm told it's very difficult to recruit staff due to the cost of housing around there. I think it'll get better, but no time soon 😕
Thanks very much Jonny! We appreciate your comments 😀 and we definitely take you point about the Eastern Europeans 😟 but our main issue was with the attitude of certain staff - no excuse for that, but your absolutely right about the trouble hiring new staff because of the cost of housing - a sad state of affairs. But thanks again for watching! 😀👍
Excellent film to end the series. What a lovely part of the world. Shame accommodation seems to be struggling with quality. Not sure if it is a covid thing or just your unlucky. Ride safe and stay well 🤙😎
Thank you Calvin🙏 it certainly is a lovely part of the world 😀 we really are disappointed in the level of service offered by some places - Covid hasn’t helped but it’s often used as an excuse 😟 still a fantastic country to ride through! 😀👍
Another enthralling trip. Really enjoy the mixture of biking , info on locations especially history and of course the commentary and rating of where you stay and eat. Keep up the great work👍
Thanks very much Gareth! We appreciate your comments and support! 👍😀
Superb video as usual. I really enjoy watching your videos. They give me inspiration on where to take my 1250 gsa and I believe you live near me so the films are good for timings etc on trips.
Keep up the good work 👏
Thanks very much Will! We’re glad you enjoy our adventures and they give you some touring ideas - thanks for watching! 😀👍
A great episode to finish an awesome series, well done you two, thank you for sharing it!! Hopefully more to come! 👍👍
Thanks very much Nelio! We loved this tour and glad you enjoyed it too! 👍😀
Another great episode and I'm sorry it's over again. I would like to thank you both once again and I am already looking forward to the next one. Greetings Erwin 😃👍👌❤
Thank you Erwin! We’re glad you enjoyed watching our adventures again - we appreciate it! 😀👍
@@midlifemotorcyclediaries 😃👍
Thanks for the journey, loved it so much I’m seriously thinking of trading in my z900 for a Tiger GT Pro 😄👍
Thank you Kevin! It’s a superb bike - best decision I made! 😀👍
There’s not a bad road to and from Middleton, even in Winter there are a few bikers sat outside cafes😆, can get a bit dodgy though when the temperature drops. Ridden all those roads many times, glad you enjoyed yourselves😀. Our experience of Lake District hotels is sadly similar to yours, they need to up their game.
Thanks Ian! You’re absolutely right about the roads around Middleton 👍 we loved them! Unfortunately, some of the hotels in The Lakes have become very complacent and have captive audiences who’ll put up with inferior service 😟 they definitely need to up their game - thanks for watching! 😀👍
Fantastic end to a great tour!! Best episode yet, it amazes me I still haven't been upto the Lakes on my bike!! I've spent 20 years hiking the fells, came back to biking when my youngest son grew up, time to get back amongst the fells, thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Oh thanks for adding Western Call by Cody Francis, great track 👍
Where to next !!???
Thank you 🙏 it’s definitely time to take your bike to the Lakes😀! Stunning as you know 😍 glad you liked the music too - next is The New Forest! 😀👍
Thank you, I really enjoyed the ride as most of the roads I have ridden before. Just wanted to comment on the road closed signs. I think this is as a result of that invasive little creature Elfin Safety, he is getting everywhere these days. Unless the road closed sign displays the permit number (like the Police needing a warrant), the road closure is not legal and anyone stopping you from using the Queens highway is breaking the law so you are within your rights to arrest that person (as civilians we have similar powers of arrest as the Police, who are civilian in uniform in the eyes of the law). Now I am not advocating that this is a good idea but just because someone puts a sign up doesn't make that sign legal or binding. You did exactly the right thing. Be courteous and humble and thankful and that usually works. If not demand that the person stopping you shows you the permit number for the road closure. If they have one then you can turnaround, if not then you are within your rights to demand the number or the person cannot, legally stop you from continuing your journey. OK, if there is something like a bridge down then that is understandable but not for the tiny bit of work we could see on your video.
I know about this because in a previous life I used to run a very large transport business and "illegal" road closures we a real pain when one had a 44 tonne artic and no where to turn around. I did spend many days in court fighting such stupidity. Its sad to see that this is happening more and more.
Thanks very much John! We’re glad you enjoyed it 👍 and in particular, thanks for the information about road closures - that’s really good to know for future reference - it makes us feel a bit better about pushing on 😀 obviously being courteous and humble - it’s always the best way to be! Thanks for watching 😀👍
Fantastic roads and scenery, closures are always a “yes/no” decision, went through one the other day and had help of a cyclist coming the other way to get the scooter past a physical barrier via a sloping verge. Eventful today too on my filmed ride as I went down a green lane that finally became impassable (unless riding an off-roader) then I never made it home due to drive belt (it’s an auto) snapping. Abandoned it in farm building (with permission of owner) as no point getting recovery people out on a day repair shop is closed. All fun :)
Thank you! We agree about the yes/no on closed roads - sometimes they can turn into an unexpected adventure! Hope you get it recovered soon! 🤞😀
Sue, Brian, what a great series, as has been said elsewhere below superb music on this episode, Langdales are a bit special.
I managed to get a day motorcycling on Madeira this week, 26 degrees and not a straight road in 95 miles, sublime. I hope you can maybe squeeze another ride or two in before the season ends ?.
Thanks for another year of MMD adventures.
Thank you Ian 🙏 wow Madeira sounds a bit different to our current weather ☔️😟 we absolutely loved the Langdale area 😍 got to work on our next adventure soon - thanks for watching our adventures this year! 😀👍
Just found your channel and enjoyed watching a few of your TALES.... will subscribe.. keep up the cracking vids.
Thanks very much Martyn! We’re glad you enjoyed watching our adventures and thanks for subscribing! 👍😀
Me and the wife did Spain 2019 then Portugal 2020, so looking forward to 2022, and she will have her own bike this time.
@@MansfieldPestControl that sounds brilliant! Sue said it was the best decision she ever made! 😀👍
@@midlifemotorcyclediaries Michelle is currently CBT on a KTM 125 Duke, when passed she will ride my KTM 390duke,i have a CB650r, adapted to suit my disability, only having my left arm.
Good on you Martyn that’s fantastic 👍 and wish Michelle all the best from both of us! 😀👍
all that area is not far from us.teesdale,alston/hartside etc.lovely roads.lake district not far either about 85 miles. good to see you've enjoyed the northeast and west. did you try the hardknot pass?..
Thanks John! We loved the North East and West 👍 some absolutely brilliant roads - we didn’t get as far as the Hardknott Pass - but from what we’ve heard it doesn’t sound like a pleasant ride 😱😀👍
Quality video as usual, not so much the music but may be that's just me being an old fart, TTFN,
Thanks John! I guess you can’t please everyone 🎶🎼🎸🎤😀👍!
Must have taken years to build all those stone walls and houses😲
I think it did! 😀👍
Loved it yet again, but what is that first music track in the early part of the journey? I need that record.
Thank you Ryan! All the music is signposted at the bottom of the screen 👍 😀!
Another thoroughly enjoyed video again on so many road's I frequently use. Middleton Teasdale is a great place to park up for a brew and chin wag. Is that the end of your adventures for this year or are you planning to squeeze 1 or 2 more in.
Thank you! We really enjoyed our little break in Middleton 👍 and some excellent roads! Don’t think we can squeeze any more big trips in this year 🤔 but we have one in the can waiting for an edit! 👍😀
That was cool, another nice tour :)
Why is customer so bad in so many UK places? It's weird!
I love that road from Middleton to Brough though and there's a delightful cafe/ice cream Parlour actually at Brough Castle next time you pass.
I look forward to the next tour Have you done St Mary's Loch Talla and Meggets reservoirs and the Mennock pass (Wanlockhead) yet?
Thank you Michael! We also wonder about customer service 😳 - the road to Brough is very special 👍 we’d love to do it again and next time maybe stop by Brough Castle 😀 we haven’t done Wanlockhead and that part of Scotland yet. There’s always new places to explore! 😀👍
@@midlifemotorcyclediaries And the more you explore the more you find nearby that demands a revisit lol. Keep it up :)
Fabulous as always. Loved every minute. Can I ask what software you use, a) for the video editing and b) for the map? I’d love to produce videos like you do. 😁
Thanks very much Susan! The editing software is Final Cut Pro and the map is an app called Relive - you can get it on the App Store! Thanks for watching! 😀👍
Hi sue, can I ask what app you use when deciding where you want to go on your great trips. 👍
😀I use Bri, Billy! We decide where we would like to go and Bri plans the entire trip - including landmarks and accommodation. There are some well known routes - like the NC500 and the Wales 360 - but most of our trips are just planned with a general location and a time frame in mind. ☺️👍
Very nice ❤️ beautiful ❤️
