Mr Daz, I love watching your videos,... my wife bought me a road bike, my first ever, for my 60th birthday in March this year. I live in Halifax and since then I've tried to follow the rides that you've done. Not always managing it and at times (like Blackstone Edge, I've had to get off and push,... but I nearly got there!).Just to let you know you inspire me to push and try more - I hope to meet you out on the roads some days. Please keep posting videos.Take care.
Hello rdw and thank you for your kind words. It's great to hear you share your story so far and I hope you continue to keep on riding your bike. I was having a refreshing pint this evening at the Red Lion ( Bottom of Blackstone Edge) after a lovely evening ride. If you see us out and about, you know what to shout out . All the best buddy.
Hi Daz, Another great video of a great ride. Love the roads around Ingleton & Settle area some great riding to be had. Keep doing the videos I always enjoy watching them they give me ideas of new routes.
It's got it all up here Sophie and you aren't too far from the coast either . I've walked all around these parts, been caving and cycled it. We are blessed to have it on our doorstep
My Old boss used to live in Ingleton and he was a keen potholer so he has told me about so many places in this area Terry. He has taken me into a few caves and potholes from the cafe at Ingleton.
Great video Daz, I've done that descent from Bowland Knott a few times, superb open road especially when it opens to that clear straight. Superb view at the top for sure!. Had to watch out for sheep
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures definitely, I told a friend about the descent and he had a go and said it's probably the best in the country, it's definitely up there. Have you done the 'Glider Club' road in the Peak District which starts near Grindlow and goes through a hamlet called Abney before descending to come out near the Plough Inn close to Hathersage?. That's a fantastic road, especially with a tailwind, we did it on Saturday - around 4 miles of rolling descent in a really quiet valley.
Fab places loves your video I was out near those places on Sunday did 86 miles to last clarion House came back through walley keep them coming xx Nice to see Mike enjoying black pudding and no its cream bottom 1st then Jam on top xx lol
Thank you Joanne . 86 miles is very good going so a big thumbs up from this end and yes the scone debate continues 😁 Enjoy your cycling whilst the weather is warming up...
Excellent video again Daz, thanks for sharing, don't sensor Mike out too much he is funny and looked a bit dismayed at the end as if he'd been told off 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🚴♂️🚴♂️😎👍
Thanks Terry, Mike hadn't been told off by me , I think he was having a tough day with his back and wasn't feeling the love. Hopefully we will be back out together soon for another ride. I fancy the Trough tomorrow.😁
I was up there Friday with the Lune road club and Bernie’s was open. So hard lines Daz. Bernie’s has changed a lot from when I was in there 20 odd years ago in my caving days.
This was back in April Wayne and since then me and Mike have a few injuries and needed physio but hopefully we are now on the mend. Mike was suffering on this ride with his back, big time .
Desperately trying to find a cafe with black pudding around here, as rare as an outdoor swimming pool in north England, alas might have to make my own sandwiches. Enjoy your videos and enthusiasm
Is there any way of doing some campcraft style cooking Randel, if you took your own Black puddings in a small backpack 😁 I've been in that pool for a swim too !
Hiya Daz, another great video with you and Mike, scenery is lovely!! ! I'm off out for a tootle. Not been out for ages. Lost my cycling mojo for a while, hopefully I'll get it back after today.
Hello Di, sometimes a rest from the bike is needed but I'm sure you will get that sensory kick from your next ride and hopefully find your mojo once again. Me n' Mike started to drive out to these places for the very same reason .
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I've been out, found a new route to take. Cracking bit of scenery aswell, even better on a day like today. Just a little over 30 miles, nice quiet lanes, and not a pothole in sight. Perfect 🙂
Thanks Tazy T This is what I like about your videos too. I have been looking at some recent weather maps around New Zealand. Has the weather gone a bit crazy ? The isobars are packed !
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures hehe yeah bit nasty 150 kph winds at my place no power for a few days many busted things getting on top of it now it’s been a test for the family autistic kids don’t cope well with change and the bloody noise of the wind I’ve been helping a few mates clean up fallen trees and destroyed sheds but that’s just a part of tazy life it snows n blows but we’re all good mate
Sounds like a nightmare of an experience. When I saw the weather chart, it looked like one of them over exagerated pictures that are aimed to get your attention. Glad you all came through it in one piece .
Hello Tim and thank you for your support, it is always a tough decision to make when editing these videos, based on how much do you leave in the video, or edit out . I have loads of footage from the rides I do, but I try to give people a snippet of what it is actually like out there to enjoy on a ride. There is a fine line but I take your point . Can I thank you though sharing your thoughts. All the best Darren.
Great Vid again Daz, whos told Mike off for chatting too much on the videos? 😂 Great views all the way though. And lets not forget that tremendous black pudding!
Hello James, I think that Mike was feeling it a bit on this ride with his bad back and wasn't as vocal as usual. He's probably watched a few videos now and become his own critique lol. But yes, the views in this are awe inspiring which makes us keep coming back for more
Good to see you back Daz. Great video. Love Waddington - my grandparents used to live there so a lot of childhood memories there. Its a beautiful area round that neck of the woods.
Hello Cwil and thanks for your comments again, they are always appreciated. What a lovely place Waddington is and for your grandparents to have lived there must have been something special. I love the quaint little pubs out there and could happily spend a few hours on a summers evening sampling an ale or two if I was a local.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures hi Daz I have had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine who says he has found au in the trough of Bowland just wondered if you have come across it here yourself...
Hi Steve, I've often wondered . The monks mined for lead near Dunsop Bridge and I've read some reports from the area related to mines Royal leases. If ever you fancy a prospect out there at any locations you have heard about, give us a shout.
That's route me and Mark did a few years ago by stocks reservoir and the long descent down to Clapham. It's certainly a good long one and great views on the horizon. We did it both ways, there's a nice twisty undulating road if you take a slight right before going back up, you hit over 30mph on some of the uphill sections it's like a rollercoaster 😉👍 great vid keep em coming 🚴🚴♂️🚴♀️
They are classic routes Paul . I love the fact that we are in Lancashire's finest countryside which then takes us into some of Yorkshire's finest too. This was a top 10 ride for sure.
brill video Daz...CYCLING HEAVEN...been up Bowland knot a few times my favourite ride but do it the other way down to gisburn forest...loving you've got loads of vids from my area a few I've done and a few I will be doing 😀 keep it up Daz 👍🏻🚴💨💨💨
Hello Geoff and thanks for your comments again buddy. There are some fantastic cycling lanes to cycle all around this area between Lancashire and West Yorkshire. We are so lucky to have all of these great locations on our doorstep.
Cracking stuff , I’ve done Kneasden to Stocks then looped to Cross of Greet south to north. I remember it as a long day. A couple of bits to consider Daz. From Wray to ascend Millhouses then on to Mewith lane and follow it. This year did a circuit from Wray to High Bentham, route went towards Thursgill and then through Lowgill to reach HB. What model is Mike’s bike Specialissima?
The cycling around these parts is great Sophie, albeit a bit remote and I can never quite tell if I am in Yorkshire Lancashire. I believe Mike's bike is the Lightweight climbing version with the Campag super record mechanical 12sp. It is seriously light and needs to be put on the scales !
Awesome route. Do you have this one on Strava by any chance? My rides are typically around Grassington / Malham etc and its just stunning (despite the hills!) but I must start to get more adventurous and head for Lancashire sometime. 👍
I don't have the route available at present David and it is something I need to look at for sharing. I can recommend Slaidburn and the Trough of Bowland into Dunsop Bridge .
Hello Paul, There's a lot more gold panning channels out there in the UK now and it's great to see them grow over time. I have a couple of trips out to the river to edit and I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out. I don't know if you've noticed lately, you get a lot of videos from the same day at the same river from all of the CZcamsrs who met up. I've done a meet with Aur Prospector so hopefully that will be a good one . Hope you are well and getting out to the rivers buddy
Hello Daz, Great video! I would like to cycle from Whalley to Ingleton this summer (I’m going to Ingleton on holiday). Would you be able to list the key places to aim for please, so I can replicate this route. Hope that’s ok. Thank you 🙏
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thank you! I’ve cycled from Ovenden- Ingleton before, via Barnoldswick, 50 miles. I’m happy with a slightly shorter route, but want to make sure I don’t end up on busy roads. The first year I tried it, I cycled from Skipton to Ingleton, all on the A65 🤦♂️ The route you did looked perfect, about 34 miles I think you said. I don’t mind hills. Thank you very much.

Follow signs for Settle, Wigglesworth and Bolton By Bowland. The road gently climbs for a long way. Ride on Barrett Hill Brow. Take a left at Forest Becks Brow (sign posted for Wigglesworth & Settle) Ride to Wigglesworth turn right on to B6478 Turn left at Plough pub onto Jack lane (sign posted Rathmel & Settle) Ride to A65 then turn left .

Cross A65 (signed for Austwick) ride on Graystonber lane. You can cycle through Austwick bearing left and loop around to miss a bit of the A65 via Clapham road. Meet up at A65 again then go right on it for a short while until main sign post will show Clapham to the right at a fork in the road on B6480 From Clapham cycle through Newby Cote then Slatenber on Old Road This should get you to Ingleton and on some quieter lanes
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thank you SO much 🙏 I love cycling in the Dales but as I only visit once a year, thought I’d try a new route and your video inspired me. We like the Vilage Kitchen, shame that Bernie’s has closed though. I’ll let you know how I get on- thanks again.

I just love cycling in Dales Matt. 👍
Tank you for sharing Daz. Lovely countryside. Fair play to you and Mike on this one, a lot of climbing in your legs.
This was one of my favourite rides David. I never get fed up of the Dales and the fantastic country lanes .
Hi Daz,
Another great video of a great ride.
Love the roads around Ingleton & Settle area some great riding to be had.
Keep doing the videos I always enjoy watching them they give me ideas of new routes.
Thanks Tony 👍, There are a so many places in this area to visit and explore. it is a cycling mecca
Another 11 out of 10 video. Keep 'em coming 👍
11 out of ten. I'll settle for that, Cheers 😁
Can’t beat a spring day in the sunshine and the birds singing. One of my fave videos Daz.
Yes, I know what you mean about the birds singing. Let's hope we have another good summer like last year LCSDW01
Cracking video again Daz. That Keasden DH was epic! Take care on the roads in Gods county.
Thank you Steve, it is God's own country for sure and well worth a visit
powerful ride gentlemen... really good to watch thanks
Thanks Jim, although me n' Mike were carrying underlying injuries, we were getting pretty fit from all the good rides done over the last few weekends
Hi Daz watched this again today. LOL for the scone bit. You mentioned Newby Cote. Ascending Ingleborough from there is my favourite way up.
It's got it all up here Sophie and you aren't too far from the coast either .
I've walked all around these parts, been caving and cycled it. We are blessed to have it on our doorstep
I can also recommend the cafe upstairs in the climbing shop opposite the village cafe . Excellent ride thanks

Thanks Jay 👍. This was probably one one of my favourite rides to do in the Dales. Having said that, we say this on every ride these days

Thanks Bob, the view at the top was great and that descent was just ace.
That Settle climb looked easy Daz 😂😉
That's a steep little one to get up but it's only a short climb so you have time to recover on the upper sections.
Any walk of shame on the climb out of Settle that hill is brutal went up it years ago on C2C
I did this climb on the coast to coast too Frazer. They are all doable if you take your time
