Thanks, Hugh. It's risky putting music on videos as it's so subjective - and I freely admit to giving up on videos sometimes because I can't bear the music on them - but I enjoy messing about with the editing process and it's nice to know a few people enjoy the tracks and that they can compliment the clips etc. Thanks for the comment and happy cycling!
Cracking ride and beautiful surroundings, thank you for taking the time to film and edit the video, I know it takes time. I live about 17 miles from the coast and can cycle 80% of the way there using tracks. I see more people riding bikes these days and whereas we never saw another cyclist we do now thanks to the explosion of people riding off-road ebikes. I'm not complaining really, I don't own the tracks and why shouldn't they get the same enjoyment as I do. You don't have to go miles to have a terrific ride as you've shown but I like solitude away from people. Looking forward to your further adventures.
Thanks, Colin. Appreciate you following along and taking the time to leave a comment. Yes, so many people out now on ebikes (road and MTB). It's great to see but like you I really enjoy the solitude you can experience on a bike too.
Cracking little loop with a proper decompression aspect. Makes sense to go lightweight & rough it (within reason) for overnighters, had some great climbing bivis along those lines. Nowt wrong wi' pot noodles, lad.
I think there's a case to make for that being the nicest section of the whole Pennine Bridleway! Just as wine tastes better in a fancy restaurant, it would appear Pot Noodles go rather well with nice Dales views! 🙂
@@onemorecyclist In the early days of my backpacking adventures (mid-80s) you could buy 'Pot Rice' & 'Pot Sweet', which had a passable apple crumble variety. They were available in supermarkets for a fraction of the price of Raven freeze-dried rations. Ideal for overnighters - especially for cash-strapped young 'uns.
Lovely video and great music Martin, I can certainly tell that you're enjoying your cycling and the beautiful Yorkshire dales, great camp thanks for sharing 👏👋
Just catching up with your adventures fella, blimey you’ve been busy. Great video and as always fantastic scenery. Not so sure about the Pot Noodle though 😉
Cheers, Sheetal. Making hay while the sun shines (sort of!). Thanks as always for watching. I bought a weird folded pizza slice thing too but it stayed in the bag the whole way round ... pot noodle was the limit! 🙂
I really enjoyed that opening music, I keep Shazam at the ready to identify a song, send it to myself and enjoy it again later. You seem to be able to put the perfect tunes at the right place. I think you missed the British Concorde at 2:45... clouds. Thanks for the great videos, your work is really worth it.
Thanks, Frank. It was a great little trip out and enjoyed the camera faff en route. Hard to believe just how long ago it was since we had Concorde in the skies! Happy cycling!
Looking at your bike packing equipment I wonder why you don't use a conventional 'old fashioned' saddle bag. I've got a Carradise camper longflap that was gifted to me by a friend - he used it in the 60s on touring holidays on a tandems with his wife - its had lots of repairs but is still functional - ok I don't use it for bike packing but it can hold lots of shopping! Thanks for the videos.
That's a good question and I don't really know. I suppose all the other types of bags I have I've ridden with people who have these kind of bags already so have been able to see them and check them out prior to buying. Got to admit the Carradise set up is a great touring aesthetic though! My restored '75 Carlton actually has the little rack for one but I never got the bag as part of the restoration ... hmm, unfinished job perhaps 🙂
Fantastic video as ever, keep up the good work! Have you decided to drop using a helmet totally? Must admit on a solo trip in the wilderness it's a must for me, bashed my head to many times not to 😂!
Thanks, Brian. It was a really short one but very enjoyable all the same. The lid went on not long after setting off in the morning, so not totally dropped. It's a subjective choice, obviously (while the law still allows) but if I'm ever not 100% sure I'm way inside the limits of my own bike handling skills and comfort with conditions, the helmet goes on. Hope you've been getting out and enjoying some of the more settled weather! 🙂
@@onemorecyclist definitely personal choice I'm still glad to say. My worst head injury was forgetting to unclip and my head smashed into a kerb...ouch it hurt even with a helmet 😂
Thermarest are being quite good about it (so far). I have to post the failed one back to them and we'll see what happens. Does seem pretty common and it's a shame as they are otherwise extremely comfortable and warm mats to use.
It is, although I always used to frequent the other one (slightly nearer the camp site!). The Pen-y-ghent cafe seems to have come back to life though. 🙂
People can view your video more than once. It's like saying "let's go back to those hills." Or "I'd like to go see the Pennines today." I ride my bike 7 days a week, sold my car afyer my wonderful wife of 42 years passed, and if I ain't riding.... ain't nobody driving. And if I do get slammed with an Arctic Blizzard, I simply go with Martin to the Yorkshire Dales for coffee, pudding, and a scenic 30 miles.
Fantastic video, really well put together. Beautiful scenery. Very well done 👍
Thanks, Ben. Appreciate you checking it out and leaving a comment! Happy cycling!
Wonderful. The opening song “Free” goes so well with the video and encapsulates why we do what we do. Well done Martin

I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks for posting. Kenny, Arkansas USA
Thanks, Kenny. Appreciate you checking out the video from across the pond. Happy cycling over there!
Great video, and accompanying music.
Thanks, a fun one to ride and edit together into a vid. Happy cycling!
Lovely video and great music Martin, I can certainly tell that you're enjoying your cycling and the beautiful Yorkshire dales, great camp thanks for sharing 👏👋
Glad you enjoyed it. The Dales is quite the place to be out on a bike, or on foot for that matter. Thanks for watching and happy cycling.

Stunning views, especially that sunset.
It was quite fleeting but nice to catch! 🙂

Had the weather for it recently, lovely.
Thanks, yes the recent dry spell made for some great conditions under wheel.
thanks for the video
Very cheerful video as always.
Thanks, Matt! I'm definitely at my least grumpy on a bicycle! 😉

Btw I meant to say, just watching a Welsh chap do the GDMBR in America. His sleeping mat did exactly the same as yours... common problem
@@brianridley1102 ouch indeed. I'm still waiting for my first clipless mishap. I know it's coming ... but when! 🙂

What sleeping bag are you using you mentioned superlite cheers
I took my Alpkit Pipedream 200 on this one. 🙂
Where can i find the route looks fun

Sad to see The Crown is for sale.

Great stuff. And many thanks for taking the time to document your trips. I know the filming can probably be a pain.
this video gives me new ideas for bike packing 2025!
Great stuff! Enjoy the planning 🙂
