Coast to Coast Day 2 - Big Bike Adv Ride - best trails in Northern England - On the TET and TNT

Спорт

This was a proper adventure over 2 days, a perfect weekend of riding on the glorious lanes of Northern England.
The route takes in parts of the Trans Euro Trail (TET) in Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales as well as parts as the Trans Northern Trail (TNT) which is across Cumbria, the Dales and Yorkshire Moors - all worth a luck for other adventures

    That first track you did Stalling Busk does include the river, everyone just rides down it. Scarhouse Reservoir which you did can be a bit tricky and the other route you did opposite the reservoir is quite challenging but fun. I’m fortunate enough to live locally to these trails so I do them quite frequently 👍

    A bit late in commenting as I’ve only just finished watching, day two was simply awesome Mike , I’d do it again over three days .. maybe on the KTM … or something else .. 🤔 though I’m even more in love with my DX now and definitely going to tinker with the suspension given the bottoming out I was experiencing ( I am a chunky monkey of course…) loved the trip .. shame you didn’t get chance to show that last campsite too…

    The CRF would have made that too easy, well more that being on the T7 was a bigger challenge and probably made the road sections more fun. If I’d have done it on my own I’d have definitely taken the 450, not worried about getting stuck then

    @@MrTurbocake lots of the route is quite difficult, not particularly suitable for a novice riders. If you can get up the start of the Old Coach Rd which is about 4km east of Keswick then you should be ok with the rest. It’s defo not something you want to do on your own and not something I’d want to do on a big bike if I was a beginner. Days 4 and 5 of the UK ACT are a coast to coast trip which is meant to be a bit easier and designed for bigger bikes, that takes in Salter Fell and Rudland Rigg as we did, they are the two quite long classic lanes on the trip we did.

    Cheers mate; really good vid that. I’d have probably taken the 450 based on the stony, hilly bits that you encounter up there. You’d have been less tired on that. Fantastic tracks though and well done. What’s your present audio set-up with the go-pro if you don’t mind me asking.

    I've got a RØDE Lavalier GO Professional Lavalier mic into the media mod and it's tucked into the foam of my helmet in the cheek area to help reduce wind noise. I've tried other mics but the Rode one was easily the better one. There was a lot of road work on this trip, obviously we had to get there and get back which was a good 5 hrs each way, and then in between the lanes there is a lot of road, and I don't think that would have been as much fun on the CRF. Also, in some ways the 450 is cheating, it does just fly up, or down, anything, so doing it on the T7 was more of a challenge, and riding home I did have a big grin on my face because we'd done it on the big bikes. Shaun wanted to do it on his DX and not his 690, which meant I had to take the T7 then - kudos to Shaun for having the balls to take his pride and joy on quite a technical route at times
