    Epic job Rich. Those fells are brutal when you are pushing your bike up them and a lot of the down-hills aren't exactly an easy ride either! Great job. Having to set-up your own shots on the hardest parts of the ride can't have helped either! Awesome!

      @richcrompton6891 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Richard Payne I look forward to it. My first trip to the fells on an MTB was in 1988! I had a Raleigh Technium which was a tiny bit too big for me. I set off from Ravenglass with a map and compass and ended up on the top of Scafell! I thought I was somewhere completely different for most of the climb! I upped my navigation skills after that one. The rough downhills managed to break the strap of my watch too, so I had no idea of time either and I had to catch a train back home to Blackburn later that afternoon. Happy days! Lol!

    Good effort mate! Always worth using a satellite overlap to see what is shown on the map is actually on the ground. Can be useful, as well, for seeing the surface you'll be riding on, so you can gauge how hard or easy it will be. Great video, love this kind of content.
