    I've lived in the lake District my whole life and am an avid mountain bike rider but have always been to lazy/scared to try my hand at cycling but after watching some of your videos, I opted to do some gravel riding at whinlatter rather than mountain biking and after one ride/push Already pumped and feeling a new sense of motivation. Thanks alot Dan for getting me out doing something fun in a place I've taken for granted 🤟

    Is there a type of content that gets products interested in you or is it purely a numbers game?

  • @Daaaanjj

    @Daaaanjj

    5 ай бұрын

    probably a mix of both; brands want the numbers for awareness but the content also needs to fit any products into it without it being shoe-horned. I don't get any p'ships through this KZread though cos the numbers are fairly small, it's all through my Instagram and TikTok

    Thanks mate. Hotel was Windermere Manor Hotel... ideal location really too for Windermere. Also sometimes stay at another old gem called 'Grange Hotel' but that's about 30 mins drive out from Windermere as it's quite South but also has a little indoor pool.
