Class content as usual! Any chance you could link the Komoot route Dan? Heading to the lakes in a few weeks and this looks ideal 👌

Added it to the description mate, totally forgot to do it when uploading 🫡
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 🤟

Love to see it, Lakes has some unbelievable gravel routes so enjoy.
“it’s like, a thousand degrees inside, because of the OAP’s that usually stay here” 😂😂😂
That climb off the ferry is brutal when you’ve been stopped for 15/20mins getting thr Ferry 🤦♂️ great videos 🥰 keep them coming 👍

Class content. Would love to see a video talking about the Rapha kit and layering options for different weather in the north UK. I'm still new to cycling and always seem to be either too warm or cold on the bike
Really thought the bike was somehow in the dishwasher won’t lie.

brilliant tyre for sure. Nice day for a ride 🤌
Great video very inspiring, think I’d be swapping the road cleats for mtb cleats tho. Then you can wear proper shoes that you can actually walk in 😂

thanks mate. Use the Sony A7iii and DJI Action 2 to make this
Hello from inspiring videos. Congratulations. What camera equipment do you use?

Thanks. Use a range of things but my main cameras are: - Sony A7iii - DJI Action 2 - Insta360 x3
What was the hotel you stayed at? I have had permission from the wife to go on a Gravel adventure and I used to live up in Lake District lovely.

Is there a type of content that gets products interested in you or is it purely a numbers game?
@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
Love this, what’s the name of the hotel you stayed at wouldn’t mind some £60 a night action myself. Also big up my mate Tom aka the watt machine of Wincham

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.
