Cycling to the Old Vicarage Tearooms in Tosside - I'm a cyclist and I live in the Pennines

- Tosside is located on the border between Lancashire and North Yorkshire and is nestled within the hills that form the Bowland fells. It is a naturally peaceful and scenic place to ride your bike and I guarantee that if you cycle through these parts, you will not be disappointed as it is in an area of outstanding natural beauty. On today's ride I set off from the village of Whalley which lies on the banks of the river Calder and is the gateway to many places in the North West of England. It's just a short ride with a few climbs and some undulations.
My videos offer you maps, a narration of the ride and a unique descriptive element of the day, I hope to inspire others such as you right now reading this, to get out there and go for a ride.
I'm a cyclist and I live in the Pennines

Never get tired of watching these. You’re a star fella
Cheers TFWC.
I have another one from this area to edit from a ride last Sunday.
That's some beautiful scenery for cycling in, I can imagine it'll be even better with all the trees in full leaf. Keep em coming Daz 🙂
Hello Di, the contrast between this time of year and summer is massive and I'm not sure which one I like the most. Here's to 2023 and what lies ahead for all us cyclists with places to see.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yes definitely here's to a great year of cycling 🙂
🙂
Great video Daz, thanks! Perfect inspiration to get out there and enjoy the countryside.
Best wishes 👍🍺
It's that time of year Nick.
I have not been doing any big rides at all this year and it's nice to slowly build up the body for the longer days in the saddle ahead .
Great video Daz. When you say 'I could be cycling to a cafe near you', well you literally were! Keep up the good work with these videos.
Hello John, I take it this is your stomping ground then
Hi Daz, glad your back doing what you do best, not been out much since November. Was hoping to go to Lake District in Early March, social services stopped my request, been having lots of care problems with my wife, but that’s life, now officially retired. Planning sailing trip in May for my 1 weeks respite this year, out of Dartmouth with friends, been feeling very unfit lately, so you cheered me up today, take care mate, cheers Alan.
I hope everything gets sorted out with your care needs Alan and make sure you get time for yourself when ever possible.
The sailing sounds like fun.
Hopefully I will be able to make more cycling videos now the seasons have changed. All the best pal
Thanks for comment, Alan.
New jacket Daz 😂
I have to say Daz, and I think I can probably speak for all of us that love road cycling, this is just what we needed to make us feel that Spring is here and to be able to hear that lovely sound of your tyres on smooth tarmac, avoiding the potholes of course. 🙁
Your film making ability is incredible, the scenery, commentary, ambient music, and of course Mike, make for a very watchable video. Living relatively locally to Whalley I’ve only ever ridden this way once before, but after your vid I’ll be back and back again. No wonder I see so many cyclists around this area. I know I said this before I’m sure, but thank you Daz for putting these rides together for us all to see. They do take a lot of work in editing, filming and producing but they are just the tonic we need I’m sure.👍
Hello lcsdwo1, I totally agree with you about Spring being the tonic that we all need to lift our spirits, it is great to get out there and hear all the birds singing and the lambs bleating.
As for the jacket I have had it while and tend to use around this time of year because it can be a difficult choice getting the layers right this time of year, my old yellow jacket is looking a bit worse for wear nowadays.
Thank you kindly for your kind words once again, they are greatly appreciated.
Well done Daz, that's a familiar ride and brought back some great memories.Nothing like a ride through those fantastic lanes. When I came over from Anglesey last year, I cycled over some of the very same lane's that you did. It sets your soul free.
Hello Wiilam, I totally agree with your sentiments, this is the reason why I frequently head out over this way. On my next video we will be back out in the Trough passing by many well known places. 👍
Another enjoyable video Daz, keep them coming!
The weather is starting to improve but we’re still getting the odd cold day now and again.
Hi Sam, it was a bit cooler this weekend just gone compared to the ride on this video and at one point I needed to keep pushing the gears that bit harder to keep warm.
Hopefully it will warm up very soon...
Great to having you back Darren 👍🚴🏻 hopefully you and Mr bedrock 😂 will be riding out soon 👍🚴🏻
I hope so too Rheadonabike.
Brilliant mate was only up this way Monday 😊
Thanks Lake D cyclist, I noticed that you went up over the Trough climb. I did a another route over there last Sunday too.
Fantastic, I'm down there in two weeks caravaning at a local site. The vicarage cafe is pricey but we have had good service before at short notice.
It's amazing how the cafe seems to someone's house when not in use..,
It's a cafe that I have fancied stopping off at for some time Callum and I was truly in love with the ambience and scenery whilst sitting outside listening to the wildlife and taking in the views. Have a great trip yourself when you get down there pal.
Great to see you back Daz 😀
Thanks Wayne 👍
Great video, Daz, well put together. You rode straight past my old house!! I must've ridden past Vicarage Tearooms 100 times, but I've never stopped!!
I know what you mean about cycling past it. I get out this way quite a lot and planned to give the place a visit so that I could tick it off the list. I will be heading out there again no doubt in the coming months
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures The cycling in that part of the country is amazing. I've recently relocated, and I'm really missing it. Yeah, I should probably think about changing my channel name 🤔. I'm now on the edge of the Peaks. Puddleducks in Dunsop is a good one, as is Shed 24 in Hellifield...... If you ever go that way. Oh, did you see my reply to your ultrasonic cleaner points?
I have done Puddleducks and the Shed 24 at Hellifield, there's some good scones to be found in these parts. I've done a few routes out over to Buxton and in to Castleton, it's hilly around there, the Goyt valley was really good as well.
I don't think I got a notification from your comment, I will Check it out. 👍
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Goyt Valley is fantastic, but yes, really hilly. If you fancy a CZcams ride around those parts, just give me a shout. 👍
Cheers buddy
Smashing Spring outing that! Nice relaxed style with lots of route info'. Great lanes in that area between Bowland & Three Peaks country. Hats off for keeping with the ride-past shots in failing light.
I just hope you can cope with the storm of Cornish objections to your cream tea demo' :))
My average speeds take a battering with flyby shots 🙄 but they help to bridge the scenes with the narration.
As for the scone situation, it's an on going debate 🍰🥧
Good to see you back
Thanks mark, I was over this way again today but it was a bit fresher out than last weekend
Great video, Daz
Thanks Jonathan 👍
Fab video not seen your videos in a while again tho jam 1st than cream lol ❤
Hello Joanne and welcome back. Cream first for me, it's a totally different desert the other way around.....
Great video Daz. Waddington is lovely - my grandparents used to live there so lot of childhood memories.
It is a stunning area Cwil. I was tempted to go over Waddington fell on today's ride too but took the Bashall Eaves road towards the Red Pump then up over Cow Ark again. I ended up on a back road from Dunsop to Chipping before have a snack at the Lookout cafe near Inglewhite
Great video Daz ,this time of year makes all the difference ,makes me feel alive.
Everything is coming alive Matt, the birds are singing and the flowers are starting give us some colour
thats a good video mate..... is a shock to the system once you start travelling a few miles more with the ups and downs
Cheers pal, it's certainly lumpy in these parts but a good old compact set up makes the hills all that bit easier to get up.
Hi Daz.
Hope your well.
I’ve watched this ride over and over again and vowed that before the years out I’ll do this one as it look amazing.
Came back this afternoon (Tuesday 21st NOV) and what a great ride. The old vicarage tea room was lovely. I was the only one there at about 11:45am and tea, jam and cream and a strawberry, admittedly it was half the size of yours, but came to a grand total of £4.95p.
I sat at the same table you did as this was facing the sun and the views just took my breath away.
Some good quiet roads but I did struggle a bit on a couple of climbs and had to push the bike up🙁mainly the one that you said “was a brute of a climb” and heck it was. I’m running a 11-24 rear cassette on my Revenio which I don’t think is great for the hills in the Ribble valley and I am struggling a bit, not out of breath or anything, just all the energy sapped out of my legs. I’ll probably be wise to alter the cassette so I’ve just got another easier gear to go at. Anyway thank you for the video and even though I’m completely whacked this afternoon I’m glad I did it and got very luck with the weather. I would urge others to try this route and enjoy the old vicarage tea room, well worth a stop.
This is really inspiring stuff and thank you for sharing this for us all on here.
I am genuinely proper chuffed for you. My father had a serious health scare many years ago so I totally appreciate the importance of living life to it's fullest and to set achievable goals on the road to recovery. The moment you mentioned the cafe and sitting outside, I literally took myself back to that place, and it is a great place to gather your thoughts whilst you take in the views and enjoy the ambience of it all.
The Revenio is also a great all round bike which can punch well above it's weight and I'm sure it added to the experience of the day.
Thank you so much for commenting 👏🙂
Great cycling video again Daz. Been waiting for your return🚵 it's awesome having you back. Ps off cycling down to kewstoke from Birmingham on Saturday. Views are not bad that way🚵
Have a good weekend 👍
Have a great ride out and I hope you get the views, I haven't checked the weather yet but hopefully will be and out and about some where.
Nothing beats the feeling of riding your bike on the lanes with views like that! It's good for the soul and acts as a reminder to what the the training is for.
Great video Daz.
Yes I totally get it Jon. These kind of rides can make all the difference to how a hard week at work can seem worth it in the end.
Great to see ur videos again Daz 😁😎🚴♂️👍
Thanks Terry 👍
might try this tomorrow
Give it a go Mr Jepo and let me know how you get on. It is a cracking place to go for a ride
Good to have you back Daz it's been a long winter
Need ya side kick back next time mate so he can tell us where your not going 😂😂😂
Hello E P E B, thanks for the comments buddy. When I ride solo I get more opportunities to faff about with the B-roll shots etc but hopefully we will get back out in the future
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures let's hope it's soon Daz miss your vids like I said it's been a long winter
Devonian Scone construction aside……great video
Ha ha thanks for the technical details about the scone Chris
Great to see another of your cracking videos Daz. Informative, lovely scenery, perfect cafe stop with China cup and saucer. What more do you need?
Oh, by the way, it’s jam first then cream😅. Keep them coming and stay safe on the roads.
Hi Steve, your in Mike's camp then with the Jam first 🙂.
It's a lovely part of the world up here .....
Hopefully more to come from my cycling adventures to the many cafes in the NW
What a fantastic place to ride your bike Mr Daz thanks for sharing it with us !
I don't the the camera ever does it any justice Phillip. We are blessed with some lovely countryside around here .
What a beautiful spring day for a Cycle ride and a breath of fresh air, didn’t expect an almost strip show! and one of the quickest nature break’s I’ve ever seen, 😅 not a road block in sight or, did you just say there were two police cars parked up 🥴 good thing I wasn’t on your handle bars this time Darren, 🤭
There's never a dull moment Bernice, I found a cracking descent for you today, it was the reverse of the big climb from this ride.
Crikey it felt quick !
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Great 👍 I’ll lookout for it, you don’t think we’ll be arrested for real do you, did you break your record this time 🤔 I had to rush a bit watching this one as it’s been a mad weekend….unbeknown to me I have a wonderful French friend in Alaska who with the help of my Daughter and spouse Daz. conspired to send me a surprise Birthday present 💝 in the form of ‘Outlanders’ Jamie Fraser alias Sam Heughan a six foot 2inch life size model of this Scottish Highlander, not only did she send me one but a second one in a different costume arrived on Sunday…. I look like a 3ft. Elf. between the two of them 😉 crazy weekend I’ve never laughed so much in all my life! I hope the real Sam never visits, I don’t think my heart would stand the shock, but it’s never likely to happen thank goodness! take care Darren until next time 🤗
It sounds like you really have had a great time Bernice and happy birthday to you from this side of the Pennines.....
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures 👍thank you, have a great day 🤗
Great video, I need to get back to that area Daz, there are so many options to discover. I also planned a route in the Howgills including Sedbergh and Ravenstonedale - inspired by the ride you did. Spring brings the promise of new rides and new roads
There's some fantastic cycling to be had in this part of England Mark and once you get up towards Sedbergh your options for routes makes for some great rides out.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures for sure mate, your enthusiasm puts us in the mood to get back out there.
Thanks Mark, let me know how you get on with your rides in these parts.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures cheers, I did 3 Bowland rides prior to COVID and unfortunately haven't got that far afield since. I did the same route twice in two weeks, starting at Clapham. I then did a Bowland and Silverdale route with some mates!.
I think that once you head out here it makes you want to come back for more Mark.
Not been around some of those parts yet but looked good and yes spring is in the air slowly but surely, where’s mr black pudding dude ? Had a nice flat ride around the wyre last week where there’s so many back lanes
There's some lovely lanes around Wyreside and Garstang 252, you can't beat it and there are so many routes between The Trough and this area.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures true also for got to mention I have the wahoo & I maintain for me that’s it’s the best cycling related purchase yet . Couldn’t ride without it
Thanks for sharing the info. Does it have user friendly maps loaded on to it ?
Hey up Daz. Reporting that I DO like these videos. Cow Ark is a grind for sure. ‘Barr-Lambs’ proper Lancashire 😊
Is your garmin a 830 or 1030? I’m back in the dark ages with a 520. Thinking of upgrading at some point.
Thank you for the kind words Sophie, I have noticed there are so many channels out there these days featuring this area in particular,
There must be more cyclists with GoPros than there aren't , and I'm one of em ! 🙂.
It's a lovely sunny day on this side of Cow Ark in the Pennines today and no bike riding for me ☹ I'm fence painting and gardening whilst the weather's good.
The Garmin I use is an Edge Touring 100.
They are basic but excellent, I use a Topo map but have the whole of the UK map available on a 1:50 000 scale OSGB map too.
On EBay they go from £50 which isn't bad at all, the battery life is pretty good as well.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures wow the 130 😀battery life is an issue on mine. It’s actually a 520+. I have the brightness right down at 40% but I do have 3 sensors, phone and a varia. So they all suck power. On a really long ride I have to carry a power bank and top it up.
I’ve rarely looked at other channels that frequent our area. None have inspired me to the degree you and Mike have.
Although I do watch GCN from time to time & it can be hilarious. Hank against his Dad on an e-bike. If you ain’t seen it try it. For maintenance Parktool is pretty good.
The Touring GPS will run all day - over 100 miles comfortably on a charge. It has no connectivity, which is fine for my needs. I run the screen at a low setting too and only allow the backlight to stay on for the minimum of 15 seconds after touching it.
It does use a lot more battery life though when in the navigating mode and if you were looking at navigating all day on a big ride with it I would definitely take a power bank just in case.
I like it because it is cheap, it does exactly what it says on the label and if it failed I could replace it without speaking to the bank manager.
I have watched GCN from the beginning and it has some great episodes like you say, I think it is tailored a bit heavy on the professional riders theme with Aerodynamics and wattage topics all too often which us mere mortals may never need to think about. (My Lidl shopping bags cost me 100 watts when they are hanging off my bars whilst doing the weekly shop)
And like you say the Park cycle tools are right up there Sophie, I am always on the lookout for one to add to my never ending collection of odds and sods....
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thanks for the in depth reply. Haven’t seen the LIdl/GCN one. I don’t have a power meter. Way too expensive. Strava calculates it anyway. Not sure how accurate their calculations are. I was allotmentering today, so you weren’t alone 😃 we missed a good weather day. Day off tomorrow so shopping then ride. (Home bargains then Lidl 💙)
We all like a bargain 🙂, GCN didn't do a Lidl video lol, that was my daft sense of humour. They have just released another one about free speed .
I have never found free speed cycling up hill with a loaf of bread, a pint of milk and some Sugar puffs in my shopping bags on the bike 😁
