Both parts of the world with their own charms 😉 The weather here was certainly keeping me on my toes but it was still warm at least so I wouldn't complain too much.
Props for putting extra effort and filming in the rain! Life can get really dreary when it's raining down all day. But as long as you sleep in a dry and warm place after all that, it's okay. And a nice meal and a pint must feel heavenly after all this unpleasantness during the day!
Much heavier than this and the filming really does suffer. Because my phone is also my navigation device I can't risk it getting properly wet so if it pours down it has to go into a pocket or a bag. You are right though, a dry tent and dry clothes at the end of the day is luxury like nothing else! A cooked meal is a whole other level on top of that!
That's funny because I think of "English" countryside as being like the part i grew up in which looks nothing like this. To me this was a day of exotic and strange landscapes. Really beautiful though, I love it in that part of the world
@@JethroJessop My wife once exclaimed, while travelling through the countryside past Skipton, that the view was "too perfect" and that it was "making her angry". Apparently she felt the Dales was so stereotypically English that upon seeing a view resembling the artwork on a packet of Yorkshire Tea the tweeness overloaded her and filled her poor soul with rage.
@@Mupworp Haha, yeah I can understand that. There are a lot of views that could go on the front of a biscuit box for sure. Never take your wife to Norway. Literally every landscape there could be a postcard and I don't think she'd cope ;)
I never fail to point out with some pride that my great, great grandfather was maintenance engineer on the Ribble viaduct, while my great grandmother worked in the Station Inn. Both admirable ways to pursue a livelihood in my opinion.
Very much so! The viaduct is amazing and if it hadn't been the end of a damp day I'd have gone to have a closer look. It's a spectacular thing even in the distance though!
Day 4 will follow fairly soon. I release them early to my ko-fi supporters and it will pop up on here in a few days. I'm really hoping I can keep on top of the edits and get at least one a week out. We shall see though, I've said that before ;)
Yeah the rain was actually not so bad really. It wasn't cold which made it a lot more bearable and as you say, a headwind is more demoralising I'd say. The worst thing about rain is camping. Putting on wet gear in the morning and packing up a wet camp can be pretty miserable
I found your channel through your first and second video about your bike (thinking about getting a steel do-everything bike), and stayed for all your other content. What a charming channel you have here! I believe I’ll let myself in and have a snack and a beverage by the bike stand.
Thank you very much, you are very welcome, help yourself :) I still rate the Ogre. It is my primary mode of transport and as you can see here, also does me proud on longer trips. I love it!
All these magnificent images from the English countryside is beautiful. Wonder if Postman Pat turns up around the next corner? 😅 The scenery reminds me very much of the old tv show 😊
I just did a trip from Bristol to Glasgow and passed through this area only a couple days before you! Beautiful part of the country, shame about the weather
I got a few days of rain but also a few days of really nice weather so for a UK ride that isn't so bad. The weather definitely wasn't enough to put a downer on the trip :)
Do some traveling for me too. I am in the VERY HOT season of Las Vegas; can't really do a whole lot. I watch your videos and I deeply miss the freedom of traveling and being among God's natural fields and landscapes by bicycle. Hopefully when it cools down I will get the opportunity to get on my bicycles and ride and maybe a weekend of camping. Nevada has quite a few natural landscapes and plenty of dispersed camping sites. It is also surrounded by the following states: 1) Utah 2) Arizona 3) California 4) Oregon and 5) Idaho.
Sounds like a lot of good exploring to be had - if the conditions are right. I don't enjoy the heat at all. Anything above 23°C is too hot in my book. And even then I like a nice breeze and some scattered cloud cover 😉
Another rainy day, seems like we have had too many of them in the last month, not like summer at all. Still compensation at the end with a nice cheeseburger and fries.
Yeah, I did get a few wet moments on this trip. Could have been a lot worse though and while I have dry socks and a decent meal to look forward to I can put up with a fair amount of rain 😉
Great to see this beautiful country of yours!! Thank you sir!! Hoping at some point on this trip we see the nano cooking away with wood aflame. Take care and be safe. NQU
I had the nano with me but I only used it with the Trangia. There was not a lot of camp time on this one, I was cycling long days and didn't have the motivation to be messing around making tiny fires with wet wood. It was a pity, I actually really missed just hanging out at camp but the riding was great so I can't really complain 😉
@@JethroJessop oh that’s great! I recently bought the trangia 1 L tea kettle to boil water on my nano w/trangia. Looking forward to using that on the next trip. Take care.
Loved it! pity about the weather though. Rode the Hornby road last year on an overnighter. Stayed in Hest Bank on the coast. It has a wonderful micro pub and amazing sunsets.
Amazing micro pub and sunsets is some good selling points. Worth a visit 😄 The weather wasn't so bad. Rain makes everything a little harder but in this instance at least I stayed warm and it was nowhere near as heavy as it could have been
I really had to work hard not to make similar jokes on camera if I'm honest ;) I'm pretty sure it is pronounced like that but its spelled Hawes (I think). Glad you're enjoying the vids though, thanks for watching :)
Despite anything I might say I've always been a sucker for kit. Nothing on this trip is new though. The Patagonia hoodie (R1?) is great, I wear it all the time. Goretex, i'm not convinced by to be honest. It works amazingly when its new then it inevitably gets caked in crud and needs washing and I've never managed to reproof any waterproof gear back to its original standard after that. This is probably my fault but I dunno if I'd spend the money again when I could just get damp in a much cheaper option ;)
Ooh, I recognise that lovely upland trail, Hornby Road across Salter Fell..it’s brilliant…did you see any Hen Harriers? I had a great weekend based in Clitheroe, last year and I also went to the Clarion House open day, on Pendle Hill. Every cyclist should visit it especially if you are a Socialist. Amazing old posters depicting the fight against fascism and the Spanish civil war etc. oh and pint mugs of tea for 60pence 😂!! I was even invited to join the local Rough Stuff Fellowship ride for the day across some great local trails..you can’t beat the fellowship of cyclists.
I'm not a fan of tea but the rest sounds great! The road was indeed a joy to ride even in less than perfect weather. Don't think I saw any Hen Harriers but then I dunno if I'd know one if I did. I saw a buzzard and a van full of RSPB folk with impressive binoculars so they may have been around ;)
Found you as google knows i have a Surly and am looking at a Rohloff 😁 really enjoy your series, did the Badgers in May, like mixing freedom of tent plus comfort of bnb when needed
Welcome, I'm glad you are enjoying the channel. The Badger is still my favourite trail that I've ridden so far, it was pretty much perfect for the kind of riding I like to do. I am also happy to seek comfort and shelter if the option is there. The main appeal of camping for me is that it does away with deadlines and makes it easier to adjust the trip as you go. Nothing beats a bit of luxury after a few nights in the tent though!
Can’t help feeling you could do with a waterproof cover for your helmet ? I couldn’t be without one during the winter months. You might give one a try? Mine is like a single layer press fit transparent shell. Fits my Lazer Z1 helmet. Thanks for a great vid Jethro. When you were enjoying the uppey downy gravelly sections a few kms out from your start, I was thinking , ‘oo eck that’s not going to be too easy on my gravel bike, I’ll be walking a lot there’ goes to show your bike choice is on point? It’s definitely a mtb route you’ve taken, which has opened up those brilliant mountain vistas to you. Damn, I’m not buying another bike ha ha! Thank you for another enjoyable vid.
If it really comes down my hood goes under my helmet and I can get a snood in too if it's cold. To be honest I hate wearing both hoods and helmets so will hold off until they are absolutely necessary. I was so pleased with my bike choice for this ride. It was spot on and dealt with everything that came along. A gravel bike would have been faster on many sections but also pretty uncomfortable on many. I trundled over everything which is exactly what I built that bike to do 😉
@@JethroJessop thank you for your reply, and oh I forgot! Kudos to you for persisting in the rain as you did. I’m always careful to dress well for the rain, I tend to cramp up and get miserable if I’m not well insulated. So, thank you again.
@@jameskolar9655 Being wet really can suck the joy out of a ride. I find its ok as long as I don't get cold as well, that's when I really start to seek shelter look for somewhere indoors to rest, recover and hide out ;)
Hi Jethro😊.. As allways great content, lovely countryside despite the weather!😉.. Which wheels and rubber do you have on for that kind of weather and roads?.. Kindly Henrik from Denmark, also rainy summertime over here😁
I am on 27.5 wheels, 45mm rims and 3 inch Maxxis Chronicle tyres. I didn't like the Chronicles at first but gradually came to really appreciate their versatility. Then, when I came to replace them, it turned out they don't make them anymore ☹️ I got a second hand set but next time I'll be back to searching. Hope the rain clears up soon, thanks for watching
I'm currently out on another trip so I can't check the music. It all comes from the TH-cam royalty free library. If I remember when I'm home I'll get back to you with the name. Glad you enjoyed the trip, thanks for watching along!
Oof! That looked hard. The rain... I can never relax in it. You raise an interesting point - if you go to a campsite - are you generally able to secure your bike in a lock up?
It wasn't so bad. Once you're out in it it's ok as long as it isn't torrential. In my experience it's unlikely you'll get a lock up in campsites. This one was attached to a hostel so I was able to use all their facilities but generally I just leave the bike next to the tent, throw a cable lock through the wheel and trust in my fellow humans. It's worked for me so far.
I'm interested in how you secure your bike overnight and while you're in the pub. Just a normal D-lock? I always feel uncomfortable leaving my bike and it kind of constrains what I do and where I go. Despite the weather, you've sold this trip to me. I'd like to have a go at this ride next year.
I don't even use a D-lock, just a basic cable. I put more trust in simply minimising the number of people around me who might be bike thieves. I try to avoid large towns, camp wild if I can and resupply at the smallest and quietest shops I can. If I eat in pubs I'll try to find secluded ones and ones with back gardens that I can sit in with my bike or at least lick the bike up out of sight. If I'm in a large city I'll most likely be staying in a hostel and they generally have lock ups for bikes.
A pity your cooking kit does not contain some cooking oil, you could have oiled your chain...On second thoughts perhaps not, as on your super speedy descents the heat would have made you leave an aroma like a mobile chip van. 🤣
The last thing I needed on this one was the constant aroma of chips! I ate loads but seemed to be constantly hungry regardless. Even now the ride is over and I'm home I seem to be eating more than before.
Enjoyed day 3, though I must admit there seemed a lot of munching and snacking in this episode! Almost as much scoffing as cycling! 🤣 The lack of calories obviously catching up with you!? You did have some rain in this one; but on the whole, so far, not enough to put a damper on the situation (pun intended). Was that the ribbleshead viaduct I saw in the distance..whilst you were munching a banana? A good night's sleep and hopefully those mutinous legs of yours will be firing on all cylinders. I'm surprised that with all that talk of mutiny; you didn't take the opportunity to munch down a Bounty!🤣 Take care Jethro 😊

You are really good at it - Wake up BBC! The world is waiting!
I keep telling them this.
They don't even return my emails anymore 😉
Great bedtime watching 😊👌
Glad you enjoyed. Hope you had dreams of adventure!
another damp day in paradise Jethro , i'm enjoying the banter , from a lancashire lad , sadly for my sins i now live in the south of France 😀

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
Those chips looked very fine indeed, a suitable reward after a wet day in the saddle
Chips after a long ride are one of life's great and simple pleasures.
You are in my part of the world and it definitely makes me feel homesick. Great video Jethro.
Glad I can share a few images of the old country 😉
It's beautiful round there and has some cracking cycling!
Enjoy your well earned pint
I shall! Thank you very much 😄🍺
Keep up the good work👍👍👊
I shall try. Any second now I'm going viral and this channel is heading to the moon!
Brilliant mate .
Thank you.
And yes, I am and it was 😜
Thanks mate. Another gem!
My pleasure, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
You’re a great ambassador for our humiliated nation.
Trying my hardest to leave at the moment 😉
Wondered when it’d pop the next one up.
Keep up the good work and enjoy the rain … it’s better than wind in my view

It does have the feel. Rolling hills, winding roads through little villages.
