    The Way of the Roses is a 170 mile route from Morecambe bay on West coast (Irish sea) to Bridlington on the East Coast (North sea) of England.
    The route follows cycle paths and quiet country roads.
    I was very surprised with just how beautiful the country side in Lancs and Yorkshire way, exceeded my expectations.

    Amazing, just watched the whole video in 1 go. Incredible in that time on a fold up bike. Fair play to both of you. Always pushing boundaries and inspiring others. Well done 👏

      Cheers Darren,
      This was an epic adventure across some really beautiful countryside. I didn't think Yorkshire could be so beautiful. Really enjoying the health benefits that cycling brings too.
      I hope to get to the Prepper meet this year, so hopefully catchup there
      Sandy

    Bravo the pair of you ! Brilliantly put together, I'm amazed that you found the time to film as you cycled. Thanks for making this most enjoyable vlog. You'll really enjoy The wild Atlantic way ! 👋👋👋 p.s I have Brompton too.

  • @colinwellman9480
    @colinwellman9480 Před rokem +5

    Well done you two! That was quite a challenge with 3 speeds but there is always the lowest gear, your legs.
    I follow Suzanna Thornton, Miriam Kennedy and Terry's all bikes on their travels with their Bromptons. Small bike but big adventures.
    I think part of the appeal is being able to easily take them on public transport. This opens up all sorts of possibilities.
    Every time I need to take my bike on a train I can't but think it would be easier if it was a Brompton.
    Thanks for the video Sandy also to Dave for suggesting the ride.

      Ps, I meant to mention, if you need water bottles filling up whilst biking, running, backpack etc, church yards invariably have a tap on a wall somewhere for all the flowers on the graves.
      Rembered that when I saw your camp in the church yard and you said about topping up your water.
      A bit of a tip that not alot of folk are aware of.
