My fave gear montane so well made

Bloody hell how did I miss the second channel, this is great as I love the cycle trips just as much as the hiking trips and now I can find them easier.

The train holds four bikes easily, once their owners have removed all the bags from them! 😉

Planning doing this on a gravel bike in September - 38mm tyres - looks like (if it is drier) should be ok. Thanks for the video

Good shots from the drone! Which one is it, if we may know? Continued Safe Travels

💚

Wonderful adventure....🌞🌊🤙🍊

That pic of the two bikes you took between the Cumbria & Lancashire signs near Holgates, Silverdale. There’s a Geochaching find there. You could of found it and signed the note to say you were there haha 👍🏻

Some mates of mine did damp in the Leigh arms! They supposed to camp somewhere else and thought ,"sod it",

The Bridgewater towpath from Dunham then Westbis an absolute disgrace with brambles blocking a rutted and muddy path. The rut is so deep between Dunham and Lymm your pedals are grounding. Dunham then to Wigan is flat and hard surfaced all the way. The Trent and Mersey isxevery bit as bad. Both towpaths aren't even safe to walk in places.

Stopping for a beer when it rains, the ultimate in turning a bad situation into a good one, would help steady the nerves when you get close to the canal too. Enjoy your videos

Pizza and tea? How bout pizza and beer?

Great to see you both back out again, battling against the great British summer weather! Good job you had pubs to shelter in 👍

What a beautiful part of the world you live in, such a treat to see such lovely countryside. Thanks very much !

Great video Save never considered a folding bike before but have to say the Brompton looks impressive. Pity the weather closed in, Liverpool's a great place to explore, you certainly made the most of your time. Thanks very much. 🙂

just have a nice cuppa and few biscuits and enjoy this video thanks guys.

Everyone thinks Canal riding is easy but it is far from it as in conditions like that you defo need 1000% concentration or you are taking an early bath.

Well done there, lads. Great video 👍

I wouldn't fancy being clipped in on them narrow tow paths😱

Great video. I'm a bit worried about you lads. Are you sure it's not a doco on pubs?? Cheers from New Zealand.

Bikes, Beers, Barges, Bivvies. Brilliant!

Nice one Dave and Ian - enjoyed part 1 - tow paths, mud, rain and beers - then more rain and beers, and would you believe it.....another spot of rain with a pub nearby for shelter 😂😂 Looked hard work mind, enjoyed the vid, but one thing has really scarred me mentally.....the angle that Ian had his pizza box on, oh my lord! Never mind mudslides on the tow paths.....surely that pizza topping had to have slipped off faster than the great embankment failure of 2012!! 🤣 Looking forward to part 2 lads :)

Another canal pub crawl, love it!

Nice one Dave and Ian enjoyed that start to the adventure. Plenty of pubs along the way I see! 👍😁🍺🍺

Nice ride Dave, canal tow paths can be slow going. I've ridden along quite a few tow paths now and the one thing I was glad of was a suspension seat post. Sorry you got trapped by the pub and had to suffer an extra pint. Torture, life can be so unfair. I now have to suffer a pint of Guinness with my fish n chips:) Nowt wrong in my view pitching on the tow path, there looked to be plenty of room.

Made me feel nervous watching you navigate those narrow, slippy path section, after a few pints!

Great editing mate, remembering it fondly, another great trip, thanks for making the video, really enjoyed looking back at day 1⛺️🚲🍺👍🏻

look at the state of them canal paths man 😏 the ale stops well made up for it though 🍺🍺 had to laugh at the pizzas strapped to the bikes dave 🤣

Great looking bikes the Brompton's - I watch a few Brompton bikepacking vids - Miriam Kennedy and Susanna Thornton especially, it's amazing what they do with them! Loads easier for chucking in the car, or on a bus or train. Looking forward to seeing you out and bikepacking with it Dave :)

Dont get an orbea ... mine wouldnt switch on with 200 miles on battery and 2 month out of warranty.. Misdiagnosed by orbea .. 4 month off the road and a 300 pound for labour .. I told shop it was battery but Orbea said it was lighting cabling... 650 for a new battery 90 pounds more for labour .. then no guarentee of success .. disaster ..

50p now those toilets at Arnside haha. Nice video. Nice to see my village Silverdale as well in this and yes. We use three bike locks in Morecambe haha

Hi Dave. Is that a Terry saddle you use and if so what model is it. Thanks! Great video as always 👍

Can you tell me what make of Cannondale that bike is please. Thanks

Are you related to Martin Zero on CZcams. Ya don’t half have a look of him, but a completely different accent. Nice videos by the way. Just started myself, but on my other channel *Grandad Rambles*

Where are you off to Dave very much looking forward to seeing the videos.

Everyone’s different, but I’m not a fan of this new frame bag fashion that seems to have become THE thing to have over the last 5 years. I’ve got a rear rack with Carradice super c panniers, and lo rider racks at the front with another pair of smaller Carradice bags. I can get literally everything for a two week camps in the four bags with nothing strapped onto the frame, bars stem etc. Two bottles on seat / down tube, and a tool tube in another cage near the b/b Great video as ever Dave. 👍

Jees Dave was this last year, where hell did you find this nice weather

Great weather Dave. Hopefully it will be like that for the big ride.😊 Cheers from New Zealand.

Nice one Dave, yeah sign of the times all those churches locked up. Looking forward to seeing the bike packing trip👍🍺😎

my motto ! if it dont fall off we're all good to go.

Was this Monday Dave, we were over looking at Long Meg. Had to put the roof up on the MX5... it poured down! Lovely quiet roads you were on, sad that so many churches are locked these days. TFS cheers Alistair 👍

enjoy beautiful cycling routes.
