Video

I was out and about yesterday evening wandering all over between Kirkham Priory and Sherburn, avoiding the A64 of course. I tend to go out on sunny evenings, much better light for the videos. As you can see, I'm riding a BMW G310R, I do have a 1981 BMW R100RS in the garage, it's due to be having a ride out very soon. What do you ride? 🙂

@@Tall-Guy I run a '23 HD Heritage Classic, still running it in, it thinks its in Kansas riding through those open landscapes of the wolds. Cheers

Cheers, great of you to comment. I often drive along the back roads to the coast when the A64 is busy so I know the roads quite well, I'll have to take the bike up that way too.. I like the Wolds, good and handy for me for my evening rides, especially as the sun sets much later now.. Enjoy your rides, and thanks again 🙂

Thanks for the lovely comment, appreciated . :-)

I much prefer the quality of the GoPro too, thank you for your input 🙂

Thank you, kind of you to comment 🙂

Thank you, I agree about the shadow.. I need more sunny days. ;-)

Thank you very much!

Thanks and welcome

Thank you. at the moment I don't think the quality is as good as the GoPro but it's certainly a worthy opponent. Fun to play with. :-)

For the moment... but I'm sure that soon you will be able to get very good images!

Coulton Mill is down a steep narrow single track road from the village of Coulton, not far from Hovingham. York is the nearest big place. I can give you the postcode so you can do a search in Google Maps. YO624ND. I believe Coulton Mill has a Facebook page, not sure how up to date it is. 🙂

Cheers, a 170k miles, that's going some, believe it or not mine has only done 19k miles. The bike originated from Jersey, that's not a place to put a lot of miles on a bike.. A lot of the bikes life was spent stagnating in my garage, much to my shame.. Even so I couldn't bear to part with it, I knew I would get it back on the road at some point. It's definitely a keeper, no road tax, no MOT's and cheap historical vehicle insurance. Thanks for commenting. 🙂

Thanks for the comment, and I agree about the music, but it's there to hide the poor sound quality. I've just purchased a media mod for my GoPro, hopefully that will improve the sound quality, but it won't hide my fluffed gear changes... lol. The gear change always takes a bit of getting used to after riding my BMW G310R.

Thank you 🙂

Little Weed will be pleased to know. ;-)

The bike was made in 1981, R100 in the name confuses, it's not a small capacity bike it's 1000cc. Built for cruising on German Autobahns at 100mph all day long. 🙂

Happy new year! and thank you for the nice comment. :-)

Yes, I don't think the driver was driving recklessly or anything, just possibly a beginner at towing and had loaded his caravan wrongly, he was lucky, I thought they were going to tip over at one point.

Thanks for the comment, I have to admit the video was from last year, maybe my video was misleading, just me longing for good weather. Yes my bike was manufactured November 81, I know that because I needed proof of the bikes age for the DVLA.. I had to contact BMW for it's dating. The bike was first registered in Jersey and I became it's second owner when I bought it from Cusworths of Doncaster. Unfortunately Cusworths wrongly guessed the age of the bike when they registered it in the UK. The bike was stood unused in my garage for quite a number of years and deteriorated, it's only just gone back on the road.. I'm now 75, so I know what a lump the BMW is to manhandle, so I hope your back improves and you can get out on your bike again. :-)

Thank you, I hope you had a good Christmas and that you have a Happy New Year. 🙂

I've never been to Dcarborough.. 😏 Thanks for your comment. 🙂

@@Tall-GuyYou should! It’s a great place to enjoy the deaside, have a dicecream and ride the ddonkeys.

Danks for your dadvice, dappreciated. 🙂@@StuartGreen

Hi Roger, thank you, all the best to you and yours 🙂

Thank you! You too! appreciated. :-)

Hi Roger, nice to hear from you, even more of a surprise, it's only had fifteen views, even less when you commented.. it's a small world. :-) Not been to the Lakes myself since before Covid, I doubt I'll be going much more, unless I go on the motorbike or we decide to go there for a holiday, but I won't be doing any more one day jaunts there.. Cheers for looking in :-)

Thanks for visiting.. it's good of you :-)

Thank you, much appreciated as usual. :-)

lol..

and I appreciated you viewing and commenting. :-)

@@Tall-Guy its our pleasure, my friend

Thank you, hope you're having good days too :-)

Actually it's not rain, it's what we in the north of England know as a sea fret. Simply put, it's a mist that rolls in from the sea... It actually happens more in the summer, a contrast of a cold sea and hot air causes the mist that can be found on our coast.

Hi David, walking from Beck Hole to Thomason Foss, once at Thomason Foss waterfall you have to climb up to the railway line, then follow the line in an upstream direction. It's only a short walk. You'll come across the railway bridge which you have to go under, then you will see Water Ark Waterfall.. If you ever travel on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway it can be seen from the train. I don't think it's named on the maps, although I have on-line Ordinance Survey maps, if I put in Water Ark waterfall in the search box it pinpoints it as.. OS Grid Ref: OS Grid Ref: NZ 82735 02208 There is a black line across the river to show where it is. There is also a path leading to it from Beck Hole road, Grid Ref :54.405248, -0.724228. The path starts off being narrow , hedges both sides, it then goes downhill across an open field.. at the bottom of the field you'll see a footbridge across the river that goes under a railway bridge. Cross the bridge the waterfall is to your left. On Google maps near Darnholme Lane there is a road called Water Ark cottages. Hope this all helps.. 🙂

Just noticed someone was has done a description on how to get there with a map and photos.. he's spelled ARK wrong, but his photo's etc look good. yorkshirewaterfalls.blogspot.com/2017/06/water-arc-and-walk-mill-foss.html
