- Hey Everyone,
In this video, I share the first part of my awesome motorcycle trip to the Peak District with my friend Lillie. We are both passionate bikers and we decided to have a girls biking holiday in this beautiful area of England.
I started our journey from Bolton and rode to the Peak District, which is one of the UK’s most visited national parks, spanning around 555 square miles. We found a lovely place to stay, set up our base and then went for a ride to explore the stunning scenery and roads.
We had a lot of fun and excitement on our bikes, and we also enjoyed the views and the fresh air. We rode on some of the best motorcycle routes in the Peak District.
This was a great start to our motorcycle adventure and we couldn’t wait to see more of the Peak District in the next part.
If you enjoyed this video, please give it a thumbs up and leave a comment below. I’d love to hear from you. Have you ever been to the Peak District? What are your favourite motorcycle routes there? Do you have any tips or recommendations for bikers who want to visit this area?

It’s always great to see someone having a blast making a video!
So uplifting to watch and listen to you out on a happy ride with the majestic Lilly! 😘
Its quite amazing how busy the peak district gets with walkers, bikes and cars. Travelled that area many times and like the Dale's and the Lake's it never disappoints, the scenery " up north " is unrivalled.
I’m from Scotland and some of the scenery in this video are amazing, but the A82 Loch Lomond Fort William is the place to be 😊🏴
@@bonniechops1I read the comment above and thought a Scot might have something to say…😀. You are right Scotland has similar (and better) in abundance. But it’s so much further!
@@wl660 🤭🤭 I must admit the Peak District, the Lakes and some of the scenery in Wales are stunning 😊🏴👌🏻
I love when you and the beautiful Lily get together that’s what makes your videos the best , and the scenery is incredible. So thank you .
Your enthusiasm for everything that life has to offer is so bloody infectious-go grab that world!
Lillie manages that 1290 SAS like a pro, but I'm not surprised as she's got a 1290 SDR for her own! You both look like fun riding partners, and I'm glad you're out making good memories! Safe travels, all!
Kate singing is just wonderful, it’s a lovely place to visit or ride around is the Peak District.
Great video Kate. 😂 come out with some funny statements 😂.
Lillie looks more confident on that 1290 than I am on mine. Loved this video 👍🏻👍🏻
I really wish I was married to a girl biker. I love going out on journeys with camping gear and have a romantic weekend by yourselves.
Kate and Lillie, my favourite bloggers together 🫂😉👍😁
No objections here following lilly great ride out.
Hello!!!😉
As usual, thanks to you, my eyes are full of Everything!!!
Colors, pictures, sounds, voices, beautiful places, and sensations....
Many thanks to you 2!👌
And have a great continuation.
😉👍👍👍👌
Thank you very much!
@@UsernameKate ...with pleasure! 🙏😌
Looks like you are having a ball, Kate. Yes the peak district is a very cool place to check out.👍👍👍👍 Keep singing. 😊😊😊
Lovely ride with my coffee this morning ladies. Yes, she looks perfect on the 1290 👍👊
Awesome video! I love Peaks District, so beautiful. Lillie is wonderful and beautiful. She has such a grounded personality. You two make a great pair. Best!
2:23 Mike's a lucky boy 😂
Lovely to see you both enjoying my local roads 😁 and oh to spend a weekend with beautiful Lilly 🤫😁❤️
Brilliant Happy vibes vlog Kate. Dodging dead things!!! Great name for a band 😊🤙
Lovely video Kate. Great riding and scenery for you and Lilly looks amazing
Great video! Two bad ass babe’s 😂 beautiful locations and roads x
I live in the Staffordshire Moorlands &I passed my test last year. My first "big ride out" was the Cat & Fiddle road where we filled up at that very petrol station. Fond memories for me
I was born and bred in Leek and escaped for the final time 36 years ago. Wonderful gateway to the Peak District and further though.
I LOVE the Country Cafe in Leek. One of my fave cafes.
Straight up good time vibes 👍
Lily looks good on any bike so do you .
We did a road trip to the Lakes last year, after seeing this think that I will do the Peaks this year.
This is a 3 parter and then we have mine and Lillie's Yorkshire trip to come... the Yorkshire trip was something special. 27 degrees and immaculate roads.
Kate
I love the videos with you and Lillie! She is so cute and upbeat! You two are hilarious together. Great video.
Ride SAFE and BE safe Lady! 👍👍
4 videos to come pre filmed with Lillie and hopefully lots more this year!!! 😊
@@UsernameKate I can't wait! 👍
Lillie - “What’s bum-ting?” 🤔
Haha I didn't pick up that's what she said 🤣🤣🤣
Great vid Kate, love your trips and outings with your friends like this. Looking forward to the rest! Keep up the great work!
I love when you go on a girls trip, it seams the naughty Kate comes out to play. Can’t believe Laura thought she was riding the 850, with the tank covered with 1250. Two man eaters on the road 😮😂. Stay safe love ❤️ to you both
One can tell when Kate is having a ball..., she keeps interrupting herself with her singing and rapping into the Mic!
😂😂😂 sounds about right haha
@@UsernameKatesupremely done.
Not sure busta rhymes would agree 🤣🤣
Love your bike reviews nice to see you haveing fun on a bike you show other lady's you can have big bike's keep the good work up
Thanks, i appreciate that!
3:11 min: Gradbach Mill. Home of corner-stuck SUV’s! 🤣
Another great vlog Kate, stunning part of the country , so many little sleepy villages round there. 🙏🏽😎🌞 . Lilliie suits the beast , handled it a treat 👍🏽😎🔥🔥🔥
I have the same Hornet as you have there even the same colour. I like your comments about how good it is for the shorter user as I have Ducks Disease and find it hard to find a bike I can flat foot. The Hornet is a great allrounder. As for snatchy throttle if you go to the user setting turn the power right up and engine braking right down it goes a long way to getting rid of the snatchyness.
Very entertaining. Nice to see the countryside coming back to life in the UK. Giro or gyro is a Greek kebab I believe.
Good video agree 100% about the baby & cyclist
Thank you, what a cracking vid. And thanks for making me smile with your singing, l really need to get out on my tracer 9 and visit the peaks as ive never been. Ride safe and looking forward to your next upload❤
Epic video look forward to the next one 😊
Cracking vlog, great roads, 👍 👌
Oh my such thoughts and words coming from such angels I am shocked… had me laughing, beautiful ride.
There is a shed load of good roads in the peak district. Also how on earth can you get your gloves on without ripping the linings with them very impressive nails 😂
Stunning😎🤙
Fab vid Kate, what a beautiful part of the world!
keep em coming Bill fantastic to watch..
Stopping here and there on roads with nice vista's and ending up with a hunt for lunch. Looked yummy.
Loved this, don’t know that area but stunning scenery thank you really enjoyed it and you have a nice voice more singing please.
I miss riding Long Hill and surrounding areas. Thanks for the memories. Have fun
What an amazing ride... great scenery
Stunning 1290.
Hei Ka Lovely Your Video and most beautiful scenes you have covered and I liked your video🎉
Omg what weather can’t wait to pass my test and go on rides like that ❤
I camped at Buxton many years ago when i had an old Suzuki GS 550 E, wish we had the weather that you and Lilly had it p#*ed down with thunder and lightning all week. Grim !! 😒 Looking forward to Part 2 .
A really nice set of videos and just goesto show that you don't need a big bike to have fun.
You are amazing
keep going
Amazing.
Apart from the price of petrol!
Anyone thought about visiting prague?
Motobike show is there every 2 years. Next one march 2025.
Hi UNK
Appreciate the tilt down !
It actually sorted out a little problem I had.
Lovely part of the country, grew up there before heading to Yorkshire after 25 years, so many areas to recommend, I have only just started my bike journey but find that you’re videos are really helpful (and entertaining) you’re review of the xsr 125 along with some others helped sway me towards that as my first bike too😊 keep up the good work👍
Death grippers used to orally excite me in between the peaks, but now I just take the rover.
Another great video girls ❤❤
Yay! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it chicka!
unicorns 🦄🦄
Well can tell that was not shot recently.... gorgeous weather and sun shine, and when you had hurt your finger that was from a while back... but DAM what a view that was just the best roads and the best views loved that. Looking forward to part 2
Haha, getting all the sunny stuff out so we can feel optimistic about what's to come and remember that good times are around the corner! :)
@@UsernameKate ohhhhh hell yes 🤘
Going to spend xmas in the Peak District with my best friend Loki the Border Collie.
I was starting to get anxiety over where to get that coffee 😂 you have a brilliant personality Kate. Good video
You and me both, vibes MUST be immaculate.. we wont settle for an unvibey coffee LOL
Hey Kate how are you doing today looking forward to this love vlogs with lily duke of blonde wearing your biker gear and missing your world famous swanky helmet and dark visor ride safe lovely only one username Kate from your friend Stevie 😂
Kate vlogs are so fun
Kate i wish I was as adventurous as you. This year I’ve made a promise to get out more on my bike… ill be going to Paddock motorcycles on my bike on the 6th April to meet up with you seeing as I’m only 15 mins from congleton ;-) yes its me Andy Ollier! lol…. See you and mike there! Do you have a planner of where you’re doing your promo meets for this year?
I saw this your first video and subscribed you are doing good work ❤
Thank you so much 😀
A Smack 'eds giro is now engrained. I'll be getting one one the weekend 😅
Hey, I can’t imagine you read all these comments! I video recoded my first trip last year to Southern Italy and back, just a quick question, you vocal sound is good, do you use a mic plugged into the media mod or just select the rear facing mic?
hey, i try to read/reply to as many as possible, i use a purple panda mic plugged into the media mod, the only downside is the camera isn't waterproof when you have a media mod on, hopefully your trip was fantastic
Smack heads Giro. 😂
We need to Christen he "Lilly Long Legs" as can beat a bit of paddling now and again. Just got my first ever BMW a GS 1250 in Rallye colours 20 plate. Best bike Ive ever ridden and feels much much more refund to my 13 plate Hayabusa. Regards Artful and Bluey (Bikes Name)
ohh yeah Lilie is enough tall and pretty for a KTM 1290 :)
Scenery is fab but it’s sooo busy. I had a 2008 Hornet…great bike.
What is your favourite bike-bikes in last couple of years?
You should come up to Scotland and do The Sma' Glen.
Peg Inn with Kate and Lillie
The best two maps for exploring the Peak District are OS Explorer OL24 and OS Landranger 119. Throw the sat navy away and explore...
hi! I just stumbled across your channel and as someone who lives in a similar area I was wondering what my first bike should be?? I'm gonna be doing a lot of travelling and I can see that you've riden many different bikes, what would you recommend that isn't very expensive as well I'm from greater Manchester I don't got millions 😭(i immediately like your content btw)
omg ill never complain about fuel prices in Australia ever again lol
Didnt take Kate for an eminem fan hahaha
Also EIGHT DOLLARS FOR TWO GALLONS ARE THEY INSANE!? also that begs the question the hornet supposedly has a 4 gallon fuel tank, and you had 1 bar at half tank essentially thats an oof
12:19 min. Picked up a good remark in another motorcycle video this week: Snappiness might very well be attributed to lean burn engine management. Carbed bikes can however also be prone to it. It’s also about getting acquainted though. An example: My spare NT650GT can be very snappy on the rear end when letting go off the clutch ( the Cush drive rubbers in the rear wheel are probably a goner). Still I have become so used to it that I can now even avoid the jerking under extreme deceleration. Let’s put it this way: One can even see such behaviour as a challenge (within reasonable limits). In the past one had to anyway. 😉
I fortunately live/work in the Peak District and ride all these areas, some amazing rides and scenery.. just a shame we don’t get much sunshine..
This is Yorkshire way but so many pretty places in the Peak District too 😍😍 and YUP! I feel your comment about the sunshine 😫
EDIT: Hahaha I'm so sorry. This is indeed the Peaks, I thought you'd replied to my video where I'm at the Trough of Bowland. My bad my bad 🤣
@usernameKate I live in glossop so got all that on my doorstep. Actually out today on my 1250GSA, just stoped for brekky at McDonald’s and having a warm.
only had the Gs a couple weeks, bought from Williams Manchester. Absolutely love it upto now.
Same colour 1290 as mine, not seen many others about. Have you tried the high peak cafe and bookstore just outside of Buxton? Great place to stop.
Don’t forget Kate statistics show that there are more shorter people than tall people, so we rule motorcycle manufacturers 😂🎉❤
20:35 Oh my 😂
'Do you wanna go to the cock?'
Lol
Good lord LOL
What a difference a few days made. Would like to know what day this was filmed as my friend went camping in derbyshire weekend before valentines and woke up on saturday morning and found his car was up to the windows in water. Completely written off. I could follow Lillie all day. Beautiful sight. Took me an hour to get past the walk to the hotel room .
What last year?? This was 2023. I mention in the first bit before the intro that it's Easter weekend 🐣🥰
Sorry missed that bit. I watch with the volume low and have subtitles on. only picked it up when you were checking the map on your phone. Thanks for taking time to reply and for the video in the first place
😱@@UsernameKate
Hey Paul. No dramas!! Subtitles don't understand me at the best of times so I could be saying anything haha!
Not heard anyone call Whaley Bridge where I live called “cute” although we do have great roads to ride every day. 😀
Get yourself a quad lock 😆
i didnt have a phone holder back then, i now use a peak design mount which is fantastic
@@UsernameKate awesome brand, I’d love one of their backpacks! 👍🏼
I'm very jealous! Those look amazing!
You seemed very happy to be entering pegging 😂
Enjoyed watching the video on the sunbed
whoa whoa whoa, I never entered the Inn , lets be clear hahahaha
@@UsernameKate 😂😂😂😂
20:38 min. Time for a new saying: When Easter falls on Februari next year girls get sassy! 🤣
Loving watching your videos reviewing bikes and your runs with Lilly what have you done to your finger you have it all strapped up
Thus was filmed last year when I sent an S1000RR to the moon at Almeria. Got away lightly!!
@@UsernameKate ouch sounds like you had a lucky escape keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Thanks!
Great Ride Young Lady.... But Yorkshire is Better .... lol....... :-)) xx
Welcome to peg inn 😂
Expensive fuel at that garage 😂
mugged us right off!!!
Cycling is actually much less dangerous than motorcycling from a fatality standpoint.
11:35 min. UNK UNK AGAIN? Starting to detect a pattern here! 😂
smack heads giro. Very funny 😀
not only the gyros look well some salat too , but here (🇩🇪 NRW) the greek people make this more expensive ~8€ onions and cheese ...with chips 10€ 😯
Hi, loving your videos and all the wonderful country side. I am not criticising but please concider doing a I. A. M rider course, your riding will improve and you will enjoy your motorcycling even more. Keep the videos coming
I did IAM. Never again.
@@UsernameKate why not???
Because of abuse that I've experienced form advanced riders since doing my test. So much so, I've retracted my pass. I don't want it. I'm just gonna keep riding in the manner I'm happy with and where I can sleep at night 😊
That is, so sad, I am sorry you fell this way, ride safe
Likewise Robin 😊
Kate, I’m sorry if this has been asked a hundred times already…. But what jacket are you wearing? I really like it! Tried to figure it out on my own but no luck.
It's the Oxford Mondial Mark 1/ V1 jacket. I think they're on Mark 2 now but the Mark 1 is always my go to 😊
I'm enjoying this trip. It is a lovely area. However, I hope you won't mind mind me saying, I thought it a bit strange that a motorcyclist would call cycling dangerous.
I preferred the look of your meal. Lillie's one was way too healthy for me.
We usually have armour as motorcyclists and don't ride in lycra hence my remark :) wouldn't want to slide in that stuff and they can get up to a right old speed! 😊
From a young child I was terrified of riding a bike and useless at it. Last time I rode one was in my early 20's well over 40 years ago. I also never felt safe in a car as my mind wandered too much so never took a test. Strangely (snow and ice apart) I always felt safest and most comfortable on 2 wheels with an engine in it.
You sat on this one a while. Getting on for a year ago I guess. Anyway good to see someone on a Hornet again as I own one and have had it nearly a year and love it still. It was one of last year's best selling bikes too. Far outselling the GSX8s despite most reviewers preferring the Suzuki. It does make you ride like you stole it though🙄 Not sure how you could be so restrained on it!
You can't show yourself being a hooligan on youtube Paul, that's not very wise 🤣
Some people seem to get away with it sadly not me as recently had my 7th speeding fine. At this rate I'm going to be able to give the speed awareness course! 🙄
It's just not worth it for me, having insurance sponsors and it also being my main source of income now... but me and you know what they're capable of 😉
