Impressive. The route looks very rough. I was surprised not to see you passing some horses pulling carts.

Lovely video Roy and Wendy, you have been lucky with the weather apart from the wind! Glad the tumble was not serious.

Wow what a beautiful route, but Holy Moly that sounded tough. Kudos to you both and that beer was deserved! X

Nice to see you both on our home turf, I’m glad the weather behaved for you. The plane indents in the rock were an artwork called "Sweetheart Wings” 2005, it originally had cast bronze planes in them, spitfire’s I think. Mysteriously the bronze planes vanished.

Thanks for that explanation, Graham. They certainly look Spitfire shaped. The cast bronze plates probably went the same way as stolen cable…..

Great vid guys lovely editing and music 😊 what an awesome adventure 🚴🏻👍 Pete

Cracking! Envy you. Glad you are safe and well, Roy.

My god Roy at the start of the video I thought you'd become a mountain biker! That rough surface and gravel really is taxing . Throw in a headwind and uphill and it must have been very hard. What a relief it must be when you get back into tarmac. Your tumble must have upset Wendy and put her off her singing.😄 Nicely shot video, thoroughly enjoyed it; Thank you

Great adventure and wonderful video guys, glad you're ok after the fall, Roy 👍

Like any good film maker, you end each video with a cliffhanger. 😊 You two are sure having a wonderful adventure. With all the rough paths you were on, at the end you'll feel a great sense of accomplishment. I've taken a tumble myself back in the day when I was bike riding. I hit my helmet-less head on a curb. When I opened my eyes, EMTs were there. The first words out of my mouth were "Where's my bike?" 😁 The next day I bought a helmet. Looking forward to the next installment. Hope the weather holds up for you.

Always great to see your videos Roy, glad you and the bike were OK after your off. I'm not normally a fan of music with KZread videos, but this one is an exception, hints of Mike Oldfield who I've been a fan of for the best part of 50 years

I only use music if I think it adds something, Roger. It’s often done badly, too loud or while people are talking, which is why it jars. I take a lot more time than I should making it fit the change in scenes etc. I think of it as a good picture frame. If it’s done well it should be too obvious 😀

Wow! What a great video. Beautiful ride. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

From Oz … well done both. What an interesting ride. I shall look forward to the next episode… def putting this into my thinking for next year …

So glad you didn't hurt yourself with that fall, Roy. Looks like another great couple of days. especially getting off-road so much.

The off road was stunning, Neil, but as you know, quite tiring.

Wow, scary moment Roy. Have had a few myself. You and Wendy certainly showed your cycling skills on that challenging day. Again, wonderful video, hopefully will get easier

What a fantastic journey you two are having. Inspirational 👏

I stayed at Farne Lodge on my way back from Edinburgh last year, we did a sunset cruise to the Farne Islands which I would highly recommend

Fantastic video and scenery Roy. I'm very tempted to have a go myself.

Cullernose point where the Kittiwakes were is my favourite part of Northumberland. I recently rode from Berwick to my home in Newcastle on a day very similar to the one you had. I hope you enjoyed the Northumberland coast. Im loving your YT videos.

We loved the Northumberland coast, Brian, and to my shame I didn’t realise it was so beautiful. With those sections of the route not easily accessible by car, it made cycling even more of a privilege.

Great video. It looks quite a tough route in places so really well done Roy and Wendy

Fab rides around that area, looked a bit off road but maybe that was just the way the video turned out? Oh! And always always go south to north or west to east 😁. If you can anyway

It was as off road as it looked, Brian! And coupled with that headwind, very tiring. We chose North to South as it felt right heading toward home, but mainly because Wendy said it was heading down on the map 😀

Great video pleased you didn't hurt you're too much, we had a woman on the coast to coast ride, fall going up Winlatter pass, she was stopping for a rest on a quiet bit, and wasn't used to cleats, first time she had used them

Such a shame I was away, or I’d have enjoyed joining you for the day Roy and Wendy. Claire and her coffee brightens up any ride too. If you’re ever back in the area, I’ll give you a tour of Bamburgh Castle. That’s where I work a couple of days a week.

I haven’t worn a watch since I retired 14 years ago, Graham, so you’re asking the wrong man 😀 My Wahoo does show the time which is handy to make sure I’m not going to be in trouble by being unexpectedly late home. I guess it depends what you want it to do. I’ve seen people using gps watches and activity monitors, but they’ve never appealed to me. I’m sure plenty of our subscribers will have some advice for you.
