Hadrian's Cycleway via Wrynose Pass & Hardknott Pass with the Bicycle Adventure Club

Bicycle Adventure Club Head off to Cycle Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 72, also known as Hadrian's Cycleway. However, the Lake District stands in the way of the start of the route in Ravenglass.
Will they make it over Wrynose Pass & Hardknott Pass before heading off towards Newcastle?
Mary's sole source of Roman knowledge is: Monty Python's Life of Brian. What more do you need to know?
Will they find Hadrian's Wall?

    This is the second youtube clip of yours I have seen. Yesterday just by chance i saw the London Birmingham Grand Union canal clip. Amazing folk you are Thoroughly enjoyed them both and will watch more as I watch so many cycling clips on youtube anyway. James lives just a few houses further down from where I am. I will quiz him next time I see him. Wonderful natural filming and great humour. I love it. Well done PS I did the Wrynose and Hardnott with my twin when we were 13 yrs old. Bloody hard then. Not done it since.

    You did really well! I live between Hexham and Bardon Mill, and I use an e-bike to get about. I'm not fit enough to use a regular bike on our hills never mind the Lakeland passes, but if you're ever back in the area I'd love to give you a guided tour of the place and show you the better bits that you missed :) By the way, you wouldn't really want to cycle along the road that does run alongside the wall, because it's a long, straight, narrow death-trap with the way the traffic drives along there, the cycleway is far nicer. There is a path if you're on foot, but you'd need to be handy with lifting your bike over stiles to take advantage of most of it on a bicycle, and that would definitely get boring quickly! There's an awesome new youth hostel called The Sill that's just been built at the halfway point on the wall (I think it's YHA's 'flagship' hostel), if people don't want to drop down into Haltwhistle it's a great alternative to the campsite you used, and if you're on an e-bike it's a good place to charge up. P.S. your Geordie accent isn't too far off!

    When are you going back to do the Carlisle to Haltwhistle bit :) (ps- that's mostly uphill) You went within half a mile of mile of my house on that last bit and I have walked the complete coast to coast Hadrian wall route from East to West and did bits of it straight from home without the car. To see the best bits of the wall you really need to ditch the bikes. The section from Chollerford to Gisland is absolutely superb. Very tough walking though as a lot of ups and downs but it follows the exact route of the wall and some bits are still in very good condition. Did that with my good lady a few years back and its a challenge as about 24 miles plus a lot of ups and downs, so feels like more than 30+ on the flat. Took us about 11 hours and was hard work but a great feeling when finished. We took two cars and left one at the far end then drove back to the start and picked the second car up on the way home. Was one of the hardest days walking I have ever done and I have completed the Wainwright's and done the Yorkshire three peaks, Ben Nevis and Snowdon. Have to say, your content is very entertaining and I have enjoyed watching.
