BikePacking Coast to Coast.

I met up with Ian again to do what will probably be our last cycling trip of this year, and what a great 4 days we had . We were having a late heatwave and dry spell after the wet summer we have had, so the plan was to meet at Darlington ride to the coast ( Saltburn-By-The-Sea) then catch a train back to Darlington pick up the trail again and head west. And steadily ride west riding through Durham , the Dales and Lancashire and heading for Hest Bank to complete our coast to coast .

    2 minutes to put up a tarp fellas . Especially with you both sharing the task. It would keep the dew off you and make you feel more comfortable. Never mind though, a good vid. Thanks.

    just come across your channel this evening, like the relaxed style and good views - great trip looked a good craic 2 lads out on the bikes with a few bivies what more do you need! Have done the coast to coast along the wall many times, always prefer doing it the other way west to east though due to the wind/rain generally coming in. This looked a great route more to the south, as for the midge's i think last summer was the worst its ever been for them, was wick in certain parts. Safe travels.

    Great video. Really enjoyed it. Just wondered what gearing you have on your bike (given the weight of stuff you have to carry)? Also, have you ever had any issues getting on trains with your bike, any tips about using the trains? Cheers

    The rear cog has a 36 tooth and the small front one is 32 tooth , these were 28 and 36 last year and I struggled on some of the hills , this seems a better set up . Most of the train companies have there own policies , trans pennine and avanti need to be booked on !! Northern is just get on if room , so far I have had no issues. If you using avanti I always have a crack with station staff and guard onboard as this door needs opened by staff only !! TP is accessed via normal doors as is northern 🚂👍
