It's hilly over Quernmore ! I was out in my local hills today between Oldham and Todmorden so it wasn't me in Morecambe buddy. I have noticed that extra daylight now at the end of my daily commute which means I will soon be able to ride 30+ miles after work and then paint the fence before tea.....
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yeah hilly and did it in the heavy mtb for spot of hill / leg training. Ok then not you I was out on a little sunset ride doing a trophy collection 😂 , yeah longer days coming in and we like it ☀️
I'm freezing just watching you!! Brrrrrrrrrr!!🥶🥶🥶🥶 I've got a new E-Bike, ( I gave my second hand Ebike to a good friend!) So,,,,If you notice a Blur going past you,,, ~That's Me!! Lol!😅 Great to see you, ~ I think you ought to have a Kayak with you! (Lol 😆 and water wings?!) That's beautiful Countryside indeed!! Thank you very much for taking us with you!!❤ Andréa and Jasper. . ..XxX...
Hello Andrea and thank you for dropping us a message, I was wondering if you were ok as I have not heard from you for a while. How is the E-bike and does it put it a big smile on your face. Some of them look really cool
Great ride Daz, longer days are on the way. Looking forward to more videos. You are keeping me inspired and i've been out on my bike already this year. Makes a change from when I usually starting in March! haha
That is great to hear Joomes, I would pick and choose the better days to be honest but if you have got the cycling bug, it doesn't matter. Just go for it !
Loved that and especially your committment at the end to take the shot of you heading into the distance, rear light showing, knowing that you had to come all the way back and go again. Most would have given up by then and chosen not to take that shot. Top effort as always, keep them coming. Cheers.
Hey thanks Chris for mentioning this, it means a lot to me. They are only simple shots but this one I had to do a few times and the same on that long stretch of open road at dusk. I often wonder how many miles I could have actually ridden if I didn't film the rides, but I am really enjoying this side to the hobby.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Daz, I and I am sure everyone who watches your stuff really appreciate the effort you put in. Us mere mortals just do the rides and probably most, like me, no where near what you do so to do the extra filming and stuff is great. Glad you're enjoying it, we certainly love what you do, where you go and how professional it looks. 👍
I agree with every word you said Chris. I think that’s why these films are such high quality and well thought out and made. I’m sure most of us would have packed off home early but oh no, not Daz😂 There are lots of cyclists out there in “TH-cam” land who produce similar videos but certainly none that I have seen measure up to Darren’s professionalism. And as you say Chris, very much appreciated by the likes of us that perhaps can’t manage so many miles every ride but somehow don’t feel excluded from Darren’s videos.
Thank you Steve. I guess I am a cycling addict and making the videos is becoming another facet to it all. If I can get more and more people to visit some of these locations and admire the views with their own eyes, then that is mission accomplished.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I absolutely agree Daz. I’ve been to some of the places you’ve ridden, but much shorter route and that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t watched the places you and Mike had filmed. It certainly inspires me to have a go. 😀👍
Ahhh old school tes rooms. Cracking cafe and nice sit outside in summer. Actually nice cafe at barden tower as well and at campsite at Appletreewick. My fsv though is the riverbank at Burnsall
Cheers Mark, I never realised there was a cafe at Barden Tower, I've seen the ice cream van and what have you at the bridge lower down. I agree about the riverside cafe at Burnsall too. The robins like to come up to you there and get some crumbs off you.
Hi Thomas, I have finally got the summer bike out this week after a rather slow start to the year weatherwise, it doesn't half roll well on the big descents in the Pennines 👍
Very enjoyable. Last Thursday I did a ride that was inspired by your content. Set off from work at Lancaster headed to Glasson Dock, Scorton, Marshaw then onwards and upwards to Jubilee tower went back to Lancaster via Caton. Got off work at 2:30 and made the most of it, cheers.
That sounds like a cracking route Gazza and thank you for letting us know. To get out to them kind of places is a big day for me whether I cycle from home or drive out beforehand. You are very fortunate to have all of them great roads at your disposal and that Descent near Quernmore is a super quick one on it's day as you head towards the bridge at the river Condor.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures it's only in the past six months or so I've realised how fortunate since I've turned my hand to road cycling, before that it was all MTB. I still love MTB but got into road cycling and never looked back.
I used to be seriously into the MTB but they required so much maintenance, which I didn't mind, but the road bikes is where it all started with me, quite few years ago now. Either way, it's a great way of life...
I agree that was a fantastic ride, the coffee shop looked very nice, great to see the good old Yorkshire Tea that was always on my mums menu, it’s a household name wherever you live, it has a very distinct flavour and more refreshing than some brands, pity about the pot hole being filled with water makes them impossible to see, I’ve hit many in my youth, believe it or not in all the years I spent riding round the country side I never had a puncture thank goodness I wouldn’t have had a clue how to mend one 😅 riding home in the pitch black with that orange glow on the arisen was a picture, nice one Darren 👍
Hi Bernice, I saw a large puddle and thought I would ride through it to clean the bike off. What a mistake ! Do you think you could have held on to the handle bars whilst sitting on them at 45mph with me peddaling 😁
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I think not Darren, 🫣 and it wouldn’t be lady like hanging round your neck to save myself, maybe thirty odd years ago, in which case you wouldn’t be jetting round the country side in the pouring rain 🌧️ on a pitch black night 😂 have a lovely day, and avoid pot holes 🕳️ at all costs 🤗
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures It’s the first time you have had an incident like that with me hitching a ride, how you put everything to rights was amazing, I decided to join you to take my mind off the fact that my son had passed out that morning and banged his head rendering him temporarily unconscious, he was suffering from a real bad flu virus, he was in hospital for 12hours. waiting for scan and blood test results which came back favourably thank goodness, so no long term damage, he’s just face timed me, and asked me what I was doing racing around the country side in the dark with a young man 😂🤣😂 I’ll never live this down! Just take care in future 🤗
Hi Daz what a man what a ride had a caravan at Sedbergh I recognised some of your rides. Looking forward to doing some in summer going to kip in the car all the seats come out of the back built a proper bed and have a portable toilet just like a little camper van 😊
Hello sir, it always gets me when in the Sedbergh area as to whether you are in Cumbria or the Yorkshire Dales. I think they are trying to amalgamate it all into one great national park though. If ever you are this way over let us know or visa versa, if you want to show us one of your favourite routes, I am up for that too.
I am not a quick rider by any stretch of the imagination, but it's always nice to get out to new places and explore. You must have some great local knowledge of the Lake District. I have walked most of the fells over the years and was a keen walker when the dogs were much younger. I even took on some of the summits with crampons and an ice axe, often wondering, should I be doing this ! It's just great to cycle through the valleys that I once looked down on from the highest summits...
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Know what you mean. I decided to go up Grizedale Pike on my mountain bike, I had to push it half the way up, got to the top and it was a total mist out. I couldn't see anything. Just like yourself I've wandered the Lakes for a long time so used local knowledge to drop down into Whinlatter. I'm going for a walk around Buttermere tomorrow with my wife. Hope you enjoy your weekend.
@theoldguyofwhinlatter157 Good man and look after your good lady there, don't put too much pepper on her ham sandwich either for the pack lunch. I've spent many a days hiking in the Lakes in the clag and the fog. Be safe and have some fun my friend...
Great video Daz, but out of respect would you slow down when you pass a couple of "leisure cyclists" because the last thing we need is someone flying past on some sort of converted hybrid thingy making us look like we are cycling through sand!😊
It was super dark at the end PW and just for the record, Mike only ever goes on the front for 500 yards after sitting on the back for 60 miles and then has the cheek to say " It's a bit windy on the front" then the old right hand elbow starts wiggling about ....🙂
It was the only field in the Dales on this day with little black lambs Ronnie. The snowdrops are out and the daffodils are popping through the soil now too.
Newly subscribed to your channel. Really opens up some new areas for me to try, I'm most usually a 'Cheshire' type of bloke. Are you on Strava and if so do you let riders access your rides? Keep up the great work, your videos make a great change to the usual cycling vlogs of 'what you don't really need' or 'can ever afford'. Cheers Simon
Hi Simon and thank you for your kind words. I am a keen cycling enthusiast and everything I do is aimed at giving true cyclists something what they might want to watch. It's not all about me and how fortunate I am with bike sponsorship deals 🤔 I try to get as much information of the rides put into the videos and hopefully inspire others to give them a try.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures nice, I've got a Garmin Edge Explore 2 & it's brilliant for navigation, as it's got a large touch screen to view, especially with an out front mount. 👌🏻
No pal, I have got some videos at the river to edit. My external hard drive failed at the back end of last year and I lost all my files. It was an expensive job to get em recovered. They are on the list of things to edit.
Hi Daz what a man what a ride. Going to have a couple of days round your neck of the woods, all the seats come out of my car /van going to kip in it. Had a caravan at Sedbergh so I recognised a few of your rides 😊
Really enjoyed that ride and getting home in the dark shows your commitment to the cause well done 💪🎥🚴♂️👌
Cheers Ronnie, once that sun goes down, you have about half an hour residual light then that's it at the moment. It all adds to the adventure though.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yup and once the sun goes down it drops a few degs.
Just got home after a 12 hour shift & I'm sat waiting for your next video mate 😊👌🏻
Put your feet up after a 12 hour shift and enjoy a well earned rest 👍
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Thanks mate, the walk home from work wasn't a easy one tonight, as I was physically drained.🥱
I've an early start tomorrow, it will be dark on the ride in 😫
Another fantastic video Darren cheers.
Thanks Phil, much appreciated buddy 👍
Thank you for sharing Daz. Really appreciate all the hard work you put into recording your wonderful rides.
My pleasure David, if ever you get the opportunity, get out to this part of the world. It is absolutely fantastic.

Great video Daz. I agree that crossroads are like the gateway to the Dales and beyond. Brought a lot of memories back of doing the c2c last year
