- We head out early to Monsal Head in the Peak District on route to the Yondermans Café
Ride along with us as we take a scenic route across the Peak District on some of our favourite roads
You are so romantic!!! 😆 look at my yellow wheels in the sun light. Nicely done. God I wish we had roads like the near us! Keep up the great work! 👍
@the_mad_leprechaun 😆😆 They were glinting. That part of the Peak District at Monsal Head is about an hour and a quarter away, so not exactly close but doable for a breakfast.
It was a super enjoyable ride with little traffic
I don't tally her hip issues.... Yet! But if I have to reach top the grind on tall bikes it kicks off my sciatica.
Breakfast is making me get out of bed, it's a good one that. I do like a quality breaky.
Nice early ride👍
@exeterrider I've done the lie in this morning, but we will be heading out when it warms up.
Good morning Richard and Carol beautiful where you are the end I went after watching one of your videos nice cakes definitely. I burst out laughing what Carol said maminl’s 😂😂😂
@SOLOMOTOUK We're actually influencers then! It is nice down there.
Ha ha, yes. I wondered what she was on about for a second
Love wetton mill area - great narrow adventure bike lanes to meander around on - cafe is a lovely location - also great at the Tea junction/ Hulme end 👍 nice vid guys 😁
Yes it's a beautiful area, thanks for riding along with us
Morning both, agree with you the beauty and great routes we have within 30mins riding is a blessing. Try the Manifold Inn for a Sunday lunch can heartily recommend. Great video and I also get the hip pain 😣.
@@wraggy_moto Thanks for the recommendation. The Manifold Inn is in a great location as well 👍👍
MAMIL Middle aged motorcyclists in leathers 😂 6:35 and a bit, I've forgotten if you've been to the Cow shed for breakfast? Some say it is a lot better than the Yonderman.
It's difficult to remember, but I don't think we've done the cow shed. As connoisseurs of a good fry up, I'll add it to our list of places to try.
Great vid both. Next time you are up you will have to try the cow shed (belton farm) its literally 10 mins from yondermanns and also does a fantastic breakfast. Getting quite popular with bikers 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, we're getting lots of recommendations for the cow shed. It's a definite for next time we're up there.
Hi Richard & Carole. I remember visiting Monsal Head many times over the years. Started as a 7yr old with my mother, walking down to the viaduct rail crossing and then being able to walk through the tunnel, which you can't now of course, or going the other way for a mile or so. My back yard as a child but now 63 with fond memories. Great video 😀👍
@tescan1961 Thanks. You can actually walk or cycle through the tunnel now. The rail lines are long since gone, but not that long ago, they opened up all the old tunnels and installed lighting.
@@Banditmanuk I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know. I think another visit is in order, it was a spooky place going through that tunnel as a 7yr old with no torch 😅
@tescan1961 If you park at Hassop Station near Bakewell, there's a great cafe and cycle hire. From there, you walk through Headstone tunnel, then over Monsal-dale viaduct and then through Cressbrook tunnel. You can carry on to Millers Dale if feeling fit. It's a brilliant experience walking through the lit tunnels and probably less scary than using a torch
I'm sending you sunshine but don't use it all at once.😁😁
@@flatcapcaferacer We need every bit you've got at the moment 🌞
Pain down hip sign of getting old !! & weather's changing damp roads ,,,great video as usual 😊😊😊
@grahamatkins8845 Sadly, you're right about the age thing. I'm only 60, so I'm just hoping it doesn't get too much worse. It's one of the reasons Carol & I keep doing bike trips and tours. Do it while you can 👍👍
@@Banditmanuk It's all downhill after 60 Rich. I should know, but there again an MT10 really does help. You going to Stafford in 2 weeks?
@RichardASK You're a good advertisement for an older MT10 pilot 👍
Yes, we will be at Stafford on the Saturday. If you are there, which stand do we find you on?
Richard, I also get that hip pain you mentioned. If I`m accelerating hard and not sitting perfectly in the middle of the seat, I get a dagger in the hip, also if having to break hard to avoid a numpty etc. Really painful isn`t it? I have to ride while trying to get my leg out straight for a few seconds and that normally clears it. Great getting old...
@darrenhall6509 It's amazing reading the comments how many others get this issue. Yes, getting old has its issues, but it's still better than the alternative. Thanks for watching
Nice video, but bloody awful music - I’d rather hear the bikes!
@timparish172 Arr sorry Tim, music taste is so subjective. Really, the issue was Carol's microphone playing up, had to do something 🤔
Especially the mighty MT10!
@@RichardASK Don't you side with him 😉
Being down south, early morning rides are the only ones worth doing. Always on the road around 6.30am or first light, which ever is later, at the weekend. This morning it was 5c, so heated gloves and inner jacket was required - I think this'll be the norm now until about May 2025. ☹️ So you've nicked LCR's intro music! 😁
@mrcintheuk4641 Yep, early morning rides are the best.
I wondered if anyone would spot Chop's intro music. 😆 Someone else in the comments hated the music on this vid. Guess we will never please everyone 🙃
We use The Yondermann for the SuperGood rides. Stacks of room. Only thing is you need a mortgage. Was there a sign. You should have heard all the C90s through it. I'll agree with you on the food at the mill is just ok
@LoneWallyUK To be honest I would rather have expensive but good compared to cheap and crap food. The owners have spent a lot of cash improving the place.
Wetton mill needs a proper coffee machine and something better than a microwave for heating pasties. Cakes are good though👍
Hello to the both of you. Monsal head is such a lovely spot to stop off at have a sit on 1 of the benches and just admire the stunning views. Cracking food at the Yonderman.
We've done just that before. A great spot and even better early when it's not so busy
That's what biking is all about. Making the time to head out early, grabbing a hearty breakfast en route and savouring the local scenery. What's not to like. Love it. Take care.
@@davidlutton4560 Yep, you've got to grab any nice days left in the year and get out. Thanks for watching
Walked to the Mill a few times and had a cuppa over the years but never made it there on the bike. In fact it’s been years since I’ve taken the bike up to the Peak District. One for next year I expect.
Can’t beat a cold sunny ride though. Exhilarating.
@ianbaines9705 Since they opened up all the railway tunnels, the cycling/walking from Ashbourne along the railway line is amazing. Riding through the old tunnels is an experience and a marvel of engineering in the day. It also takes you over that viaduct shown in the vid.
I shall be visiting the yondermans cafe next month so its good to know it has some cracking food there 😎😎 cheers Richard and Carol
@@Grint-XR I don't think you will be disappointed. Cheers
Pain in the hip once putting the foot down, I thought I was the only one 😂
I get it at least once every ride. Usually, after riding a while, then putting the leg down straight then back on the peg. Takes about a minute to subside.
It will need to be much worse to stop me riding
💯. Gives the ride some more character 🤣👊🏻
@@Banditmanuk There's always stronger pain killers as a last resort. I'm getting some arthritis in my left thumb now (which I broke in a crash 44 years ago), which is just starting to limit my distances.
Ey up
Missed you both again, but to be honest I was probably up in the Lake District riding a couple of Carol’s favourite passes
Who knows, one day we’ll bump into each other in one the many Peak District biker cafes
Talking of which, have you been to the Flash Bar Stores Cafe? It’s situated on the A53 before Buxton just by Flash Village. The Pasties, Pies and cakes are to die for with some stunning views
Si thee
@thematlockbiker Ey up
Yes, missed you again. Carol says the Flash bar is on her intend to visit list. She thinks the owners used to run Yondermans
Thanks for watching
@@Banditmanuk yes, as usual Carol is correct
A lovely ride out and a nice breakfast, that's what it's all about. It's a pity Carol's mic kept packing in, if it's the Rode mic I think I've got a spare one from when my receiver flew off the ZZR. Looks like it's going to stay dry this weekend hopefully I'll get out on the BMW, I've got the foundations for my new bike shed to finish first though.
@michaellilley6725 Strange you should mention the Rode receiver flying off. We've just bought a new set after Carol's sender packed in. About the second trip out going a bit quick, the new receiver flew off the Insta Camera and was only saved by the cable and microphone adapter!
I've now got a spare receiver and 1 good transmitter. You're welcome to them if you want them.
@@Banditmanuk Thanks for the offer Richard, my daughter and her boyfriend bought me a new set of Rodes. I've since bought the DJI set as well as a cheaper brand called Synco which were too hot even although they came with their own lav mics. I'd hang onto them if I were you just incase you need a spare in future.
Thanks Richard and Carol . love the Peak District . Once did a Police organised observed road trial called The Potters 100 starting and finishing at Stoke on Trent . Wetton Mill was where they all stopped for a break . we will be at Triumph tomorrow . best wishes .
@johnbellamy6449 Arr, we've just been at Triumph this afternoon. It was busy. A friend has offered free tickets to the British Superbikes at Dono, so I'm off there tomorrow. Hope you're keeping well. Cheers
@@Banditmanuk enjoy your day ,we will catch up sometime .
Both nice places to stop. I must go visit them soon, it feels like forever since I've been out in the Peak District.
@@LordBilious That's because you've been visiting all these exotic foreign places. Thanks for watching
@@Banditmanuk I've only been out once, to the Carding Shed, since we got back from the Swiss/Italy trip.
Nice run guys to cold fer me though if that's where we are at now temp wise then the bikes tucked up until spring i'm in 26 + at the moment so not lookin forward to gettin back 😉.The food looked fab I'll have to check where that is from me it looks well worth a visit .Good one 👌👍
@crumblymal8479 We're not looking forward to the winter, but we do have plans....
Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday.
@@Banditmanuk 👍
Yes I get the hip pain too for exactly the same reason NC750x
@ralphbeardmore9738 The number of times Carol and I have had conversations about getting a more relaxed leg position bike......
In all other ways, the MT10 is brilliant.
I had a great week some years back riding an NC750X in Gran Canaria. Very comfortable.
@@Banditmanuk I took my test on the MT-07 and complained every time I got off it. I got back on my YBR125 and could easily drive for a couple of hours after a lesson. At our age it is an imprtant consideration. Love the channel too! Although I am local I don't know many of the biker haunts.
I went to the Yonderman a few months ago, they said they’d come to my table to take my order but after 30 minutes of waiting I guessed they forgotten about me so I left. 🤷🏼♂️
@loftysaltmarsh69 I shouldn't put a like by this comment because that's awful service. The like is for watching and commenting. They did table service from covid times, but we still go to the counter, tell them what we want and pay there and then.
@@Banditmanuk that’s what I did….went to the counter only to be told “find a table and we’ll come and take your order”……. I’ve since found the Cowshed cafe…..wonderful. 👍
@@loftysaltmarsh69 We will try the cowshed next time
Always seems so cold inside at the Yondermans. Need to put some heating on.
Nice cuppa and cake at Wetton Mill though
@@beverleynorth4914 It was definitely warmer than outside when we arrived but not by much. I was still shivering into my second cup of coffee.
I just wish Wetton Mill could do a decent flat white. I sound like a coffee snob now 🙄
We like our coffees. We find that cafe Nero are the best, consistently good wherever you go although Derby is our favourite. There’s a skill in making a coffee. Would be nice to try more independents but at best part of £4 a cup you want it to be spot on. Wetton mill makes up for it with fantastic homemade cakes
@@beverleynorth4914 Yep, she makes all the cakes there. Absolutely delicious (although the size of me, I need less cake 🎂)
Nice ride out guys, early start but well worth it, thanks...
@greybrawn Sometimes you just have to get out early. Saying that, it was 2c here this morning!
@@Banditmanuk Too chilly for Carol haha
@greybrawn We will be out later but she likes it 10c and zero ice risk 🙄
You're blessed with great locations. Nice start, beautiful scenery and top marks for the overtake.
Sounds like Richard needs to do some hip mobility exercises, they really help 👍
@NooBiker We are blessed here in central England. Peak District North, Wales West or Skeggy all easy day rides.
Unfortunately, I've got the early stages of arthritis in both knees and one hip. It's hard to believe but I do big daily milage walking with my mowing work. It's getting progressively more painful at the end of each day. Losing weight should probably be the priority 🙄
