Love having my Beeline as I discussed with Peter, found I can plan router on Google Maps and transfer file to Beeline app rather than having to put in coordinates of all the wayponts. Not without errors when the 2 systems disagree on what is a permitted road to drive. Been watching footage of last week’s rideouts from Matlock of small bikes (mainly Cubs & Monkeys). Some rode the abandoned road, also a number did Tissington Ford Didn’t know the story of the tragedy but I remember a friend who had a hobby caving taking me down one in winter 75/76 which was only 16 years from then. All I remember is it was close to Castleton & you entered where water flowed in. Speaking of Think Floyd I saw them play at Chesterfield and they were excellent [another edit] my first ride of 4 on 25 May visits both ends of abandoned road and finishes in Edale

Good morning and thanks for watching again. Yes, it's the minimalist nature of the Beeline that appeals to me - I still use the Tomtom from time to time as I'm still comparing them for efficiency pros & cons etc.... Your coverage of the wee bikes is both entertaining and thought provoking, I collected a C90 a couple of days ago, but sadly it was for a mate. 🤦

Hi Ian, thanks for watching but I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to recording routes etc, but the easiest way to describe this route is to take the A6 north out of Buxton, and turn right for Batham Gate and Small Dale, into Peak Forest. Straight over at the lights and on to Perryfoot, turn right and follow to Mam Tor. Backtrack to turn left down Winnats Pass and into Castleton. The extra bit into Edale is around the side of Mam Tor for the spectacular descent. I hope that helps. 👍

Exactly like you I enjoy planning my rides (sort of 🤣) using OS maps and now I use the Beeline as a 'helpful hint' - for which it seems to be very useful so far. You've got the video and audio just right now I think. But such a sad story about that young lad. What must have gone through his head, trying to move his foot up to the rung and there not being enough space. This has been such a wonderful ride, Martin. Thank you so much. Best wishes, Peter

I think I'm past it when it comes to relying entirely on the technology, having spent so many decades using paper maps and road-books, so yes helpful hints is a great use for the Beeline. On the subject of your moving to a monthly schedule, I can fully understand your reasoning - I've tried occasionally to get a video out per week, which I've found to be demanding at times, and taking away something from the enjoyment, which is my prime reason for getting involved in this in the first place.

In a world of bigger, better, faster the 411 is unique and a breath of fresh air in my opinion. The beauty of the 411 is it forces you to slow down, take in the surroundings, breathe, realx and enjoy exploring. It is easy to work on and some simple and cheapish upgrades greatly improves the 411. I think you find the tractability on the 411 much better once under load. The long stroke means more torque at lower rpm and the sherpa needs some more rpm. The new bike should have been called the Sherpa and the himalayan shoukd have got some improvements with 10 extra hp and a 6th gear and the we would have had a fantastic bike.

Otherwise I had my trigger on the new CF moto 450 MT, the bike that seams to be the unicorn people wanted for years and years but not with that disabled leg on mine. The KLE is a 500, Martin.. There is a 400 version for you know what reason. There is not a 650 version, the 650 is called Versys and it's more road orientated adventure bike.

Morning Stefan, yes what is it with these knees - a constant source of problems as we get older (and clumsier!). I've been giving serious thought to scooter in the not too distant future, mainly as a way of staying on two wheels. 🤔 Yes I really should've known that the KLE was a 500, and it doesn't surprise me that there was a 400 too. It was the 650KLR that I was thinking about. My oldest son Nick just sold his 650 Versys, which although it's a good bike just didn't really fit the bill for me. Yes, the CF Moto 450 - I can't help being a bit envious of Rest Day Rider having got her hands on one before I've even been invited for my test ride. Time will tell if it's the elusive Unicorn! Thanks again Stefan - always good to read your comments. 👍

Enjoyed that, a part of the world I have visited due to the other half coming from Hull or as they say Ull. There are some nice places around arnt there, fish and chips on the edge of the Humber at Paull was always something I enjoyed, watching the ferry come out of the docks and passing by. All the best and look forward to seeing future content as ever, cheers Nige.

Hey up Nige, I'm glad you connected with this one as there aren't so many people who know much about the area. When I worked at the Yorkshire interchange for Shearings Holidays I used to smile at the announcers sometimes ' will all passengers for 'Eckmondwyke, 'Alifax, 'Uddersfield and 'Ebden Bridge please go to bay.......' It is indeed a fascinating area around Thorngumbald and Paull. We often sit outside The 'Umber Tavern watching the ferry go out - which I fully intend using next summer with the bike. Thanks for watching again, cheers. 👍

@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 yeah it's certainly a distinctive accent and the different words they use for things is interesting lol. I enjoyed finding my way around the area, especially up the coast. Hope your well and look forward to your next video.

Thank you for the tour and history.
Thanks for watching and glad you found it interesting. Cheers. 👍
902 signing in, I'm a bit claustrophobic so Neil's demise got me going a bit eek.
Hey thanks for watching, but I must admit that when I think back to some of the tight spots I found myself in I wonder what the heck I was thinking! 😅
Love having my Beeline as I discussed with Peter, found I can plan router on Google Maps and transfer file to Beeline app rather than having to put in coordinates of all the wayponts. Not without errors when the 2 systems disagree on what is a permitted road to drive. Been watching footage of last week’s rideouts from Matlock of small bikes (mainly Cubs & Monkeys). Some rode the abandoned road, also a number did Tissington Ford Didn’t know the story of the tragedy but I remember a friend who had a hobby caving taking me down one in winter 75/76 which was only 16 years from then. All I remember is it was close to Castleton & you entered where water flowed in. Speaking of Think Floyd I saw them play at Chesterfield and they were excellent [another edit] my first ride of 4 on 25 May visits both ends of abandoned road and finishes in Edale
Good morning and thanks for watching again. Yes, it's the minimalist nature of the Beeline that appeals to me - I still use the Tomtom from time to time as I'm still comparing them for efficiency pros & cons etc.... Your coverage of the wee bikes is both entertaining and thought provoking, I collected a C90 a couple of days ago, but sadly it was for a mate. 🤦
Great video Martin, can you give a route or a link off the beline 👍
Hi Ian, thanks for watching but I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to recording routes etc, but the easiest way to describe this route is to take the A6 north out of Buxton, and turn right for Batham Gate and Small Dale, into Peak Forest. Straight over at the lights and on to Perryfoot, turn right and follow to Mam Tor. Backtrack to turn left down Winnats Pass and into Castleton. The extra bit into Edale is around the side of Mam Tor for the spectacular descent. I hope that helps. 👍
@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 thanks that brilliant I'll definitely give it a go.
Evening Martin..absolutely love these motorcycle adventures. Always full of history. Scenery. Shame you missed the lads. Congratulations on all the subscribers. Great to see up and running and well. Thank you sir for the adventure....old dave
Evening Dave and thanks again for watching and I hope you're ok with everything. So far as my friends from Scotland are concerned, I did catch up with them at the 'other' Nags Head. Always a pleasure Dave, regards Martin.
Really enjoyed that - another bimble in my back yard. Glad the knee is improving. These vids with the stories are so inspiring and I will get over that way again soon…l been to the station cafe a couple of times, never stop in Castleton but I do like the roads around and always seem to end up at the Yonderman. Mine ticked over 19000 today on a run back from Derby via Farley and Cotton…. Roads I think you’ve already covered. Congrats on the 900 well deserved.
Morning Nev and thanks for watching again. Yes Castleton's a bit of a flesh-pot, and had I not been looking for some examples of Blue John I don't think I'd bother with the place to be honest. Yes, we're well blessed locally for watering holes, but for me some of them are just a tad too close. Thanks again anyway Nev. Cheers.
Hello Martin. You are still at 900 subs, expected to be at 901 at least by now 😃 Your marvelous channel deserves more. I did test two 2nd hand almost new Himmys but it feel like not my bike on the side of seating position.. My favorite for now is still the crf 300 rally .. But it's a bit expensive and not a single one 2nd hand.
Evening Stefan, well it's up to 905 now, but as I've said to others, I'm just pleased that there are people who enjoy my efforts - makes it worthwhile. I know the Himalayan isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it'll do me for now. 😎
Well Martin am i glad I'm as boring as you (only joking geordie piss taking)😂 because I like the the stories ...which I pass on too mates😴🤣 been to blue john..loved the one we went on boats and devil's arse sad tale but news to me..ok best of health sir..👍
Hey thanks for watching, and especially thanks for passing on my boring (😅) stories, it's good to know that someone enjoys watching them. 👍
Lots of good news here fella. Congrats on 900 subs; by rights it should be ten times that, in my humble opinion and your knee is improving too. Superb video, Moorland Biker at his very best; cheers for this Martin and mind how you go. Cheers Neil
Hi Neil and thanks for that, it's support like yours that makes this worthwhile, and as I've said before, it's much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it again. Regards Martin.
Good to hear the knee is improving. A lovely part of the world oh so many folk. I think the storytelling certainly adds to the overall video. A nice ride Martin.
Cheers Alex, that means a lot. At least I seem to have my audio sorted again. Your Scandinavian trip is fascinating btw.... definitely bucket list stuff. Thanks again.
Great to have you back out riding Martin and many congratulations on your 900 subs. Your stories are always so interesting. Wonderful ride with so much to enjoy. Exactly like you I enjoy planning my rides (sort of 🤣) using OS maps and now I use the Beeline as a 'helpful hint' - for which it seems to be very useful so far. You've got the video and audio just right now I think. But such a sad story about that young lad. What must have gone through his head, trying to move his foot up to the rung and there not being enough space. This has been such a wonderful ride, Martin. Thank you so much. Best wishes, Peter
Morning Peter and thanks for watching again. I think I'm past it when it comes to relying entirely on the technology, having spent so many decades using paper maps and road-books, so yes helpful hints is a great use for the Beeline. On the subject of your moving to a monthly schedule, I can fully understand your reasoning - I've tried occasionally to get a video out per week, which I've found to be demanding at times, and taking away something from the enjoyment, which is my prime reason for getting involved in this in the first place. Thanks again anyway Peter, cheers.
@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 Thanks Martin. 👍
In a world of bigger, better, faster the 411 is unique and a breath of fresh air in my opinion. The beauty of the 411 is it forces you to slow down, take in the surroundings, breathe, realx and enjoy exploring. It is easy to work on and some simple and cheapish upgrades greatly improves the 411. I think you find the tractability on the 411 much better once under load. The long stroke means more torque at lower rpm and the sherpa needs some more rpm. The new bike should have been called the Sherpa and the himalayan shoukd have got some improvements with 10 extra hp and a 6th gear and the we would have had a fantastic bike.
I've put a deposit down on a 450, which is not yet available in Canada. I hope by the end of August to be riding it.
Glad to hear it, you must keep us updated with your experiences, which I'm sure you will. 👍
That was good that, really enjoyed it Martin, thank you. Daisy sounds really well and the scenery is of course beautiful. Your local knowledge really takes one’s viewing experience to the next level. Your ability to seemly identify a particular part of the landscape and regale us with a story about it is a treasure, absolutely brilliant. I really hope your health improves for the upcoming activities you mentioned, fingers crossed. 🤞 Mind how you go fella, look after that knee and ride safe.
Good morning Neil, and as always thanks for your comments - always good to read! We certainly live in a beautiful area but sometimes don't appreciate it as much as we should. So far as stories are concerned, having spent the best part of 20 years as a tour-guide, if there's a story to tell I'll find it and I'll tell it - what can I say! 😅 I had a ride out to Wales yesterday (video pending) and the knee dealt with it well, so yes indeed, fingers crossed. Thanks again anyway Neil, cheers. 👍
@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 Good morning Martin. Glad your knee held up for your ride to Wales, on the mend it seems. Long may the storytelling continue; always a pleasure to watch and listen too.
Beautiful road! Thanks for share ir!
Good morning, and thanks for watching. I'm fortunate to live in a beautiful area, with great roads and lanes to ride. Thanks again. 👍
I'm back on my coach tour of Scotland again. Very nice Martin 👍🏻 You can see why the royals loved it up there and built posh houses all over the shop. Stunning place. Great Proclaimers tribute act there too ! Cheers Martin, Garry & Ruby
Nice to have you back on board Garry, but keep in mind that a tip at the end of the tour is traditional! 😅😅
@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 You can have a tip now Martin, long before the tour ends. Make shorter videos and less of them, then I might stand a chance of keeping up 😂 I’ve mentioned in a couple of my recent videos that I have fallen terribly behind on my subs queue, sorry. Just too much crap going on all at once, struggling to keep my head above water at the moment tbh ! Will watch whenever I can and hopefully catch up someday 🤗😇 Cheers Martin 👍 Garry
I know the feeling Garry.... it's all about priorities buddy. 👍
Lovely video Martin. Glad your knee is improving, hope that continues. I agree with you regarding pubs changing their names, why do they do it?!
Thanks for watching again Stephen, yes why indeed - renaming was rife about 30+ years ago but seems to have resurfaced just lately. Who knows why! (That's given me an idea for a little local video - watch this space!) 👍
"The long an windy road" Excellent informative scenic journey as usual, Martin. Pot holes.. least it was dry to see the extent of the depth, there's a few on a back lane I use, you'd not known if full of water the damage if hit one hard..! An I've yet to head that way.. found my written directs.. so no excuse..!
Morning Davey, yes there's no shortage of windy roads hereabouts - my favourite kind of road, and one of my favourite Beatles tracks! Potholes are definitely getting worse, but at least the county council seems to be making a start. 🤞
@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 A lot being said bout filling Pot holes.. well in this neck of the Woods..! mostly round the houses and road to Council Office.. Cannock center has had main road A34 resurfaced again..! 🎼Hey, hey ho what's the point of worrying🎶... all be walking before long.. I'm forgetting the network of pointless Cycleways.. ..
Yes Davey, amazing isn't it that the roads near to where the councillors live tend to be well maintained! 🤦
@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 Not wishing to wreck their own cars..! It's along term trend of total lack of maintenance to roads and drainage, A34 Huntington floods, in that area are 4 drains 10yds section at best..all are blocked.. 100yds along road with drains same and flooding, you can't use the pavement for fear of getting drenched by traffic..!
I can almost smell the hedgerows & grass , hay and farmyard aromas of the countryside, lovely scenery 😊 nice little ride out , my kind of riding 😀 😊 Thank mate 👍
Thanks Carl, and thanks for watching. We're a bit spoilt for choice around here in virtually every direction. Well and truly my sort of roads. Cheers. 😎
@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 It's nice tobe spoilt for choice Martin , keep enjoying 😉
hi martin nice to see you on the mend mate .and what a lovely commute to work..can't complain with that found Keith and subbed..will back track his videos thank you for the recommendation..take care mate . old dave..
Evening Dave and thanks for watching again. Yes the knee's improving steadily thanks and I'm hoping to be back on the lanes soon (needs to be sorted for Spain again in October!) Glad you found Shotto's content interesting - I find him quite entertaining. Thanks again anyway Dave, cheers. 👍
Wonderful, well done, Ill keep an eye out for next years event.👍
Oh don't worry Keith, I'll remind you in good time buddy! Cheers. 😎
Martin, you live in a very picturesque and lovely place. I am thinking over getting a scram 411, while still can.
Good afternoon Stefan and thanks for watching again. Yes we're fortunate to live amongst such beautiful surroundings and with marvellous views. So far as a Scram 411 is concerned, yes now's the time to get in while they're selling them off. Thanks again. 👍
Just seen this Martin interesting video nice ride out a few at the bike meet how is your son getting on with his motorcycling ok I hope do you get time to ride together much same as me with football I bldy hate it use to play it at school but that soon stopped when I left don’t miss it at all now bikes bikes bikes that’s me and odd nice car but bikes come first take care ride safe Martin
What a fantastic video Martyn beautiful countryside and places to live my village where I live is called Thorpe it’s Thorpe le soken it’s near Walton on the naze frinton on sea and clacton on sea and about 12 miles from Colchester I live a mile out of the village right in the countryside on a farm where I worked all of my life but you have such beautiful scenery where you are and it’s a bit flat where I am I’d have to travel a lot of miles to see countryside like yours and I do follow shottos travels he does great videos as well I hope you are keeping well take care ride safe
Good afternoon Nicholas and thanks for watching again. Yes we live amongst beautiful surroundings with marvellous views and are most fortunate, especially when we get some decent weather. Thanks again. 😎
Wonderful ride back from work. I just ride around but you are very knowledgeable about your local area. Thanks for sharing. I was looking to see what bike you came out of the magic tunnel on, as knowledgeable as you are you obviously don't know the magic word😂 Or maybe you do but you are very happy with the Himalayan And why not.👍
Afternoon Keith and thanks for watching again. D'you know, in 50+ years of using Swainsley Tunnel I've completely failed to find the magic word, although I've had one or two interesting experiences in there in the past! (Yes I'm happy with the Himalayan, but I wouldn't be too disappointed if I emerged from the other end on a Transalp!) 😅
Getting to know the area you ride around now, especially as I've visited the area in the past. 🤗
Good afternoon Peter, yes we're quite fortunate in that we're surrounded by beautiful countryside and marvellous views. Cheers 👍
Thanks for the video. nice to have a sunny day lot of danger with those pot hole's
Good afternoon John and thanks for watching again. Yes, the potholes do detract from what is beautiful area with some amazing views. I'm really quite fortunate where we live. Thanks again. 👍
I would have loved to travel in the chair Martin. Lovely video; gorgeous scenery with great narration. Luv the local knowledge as you highlight points of interest along the way. Lots of nice bikes at the show and such a lovely setting too. Thanks for sharing with us. You did very well leading 70 odd bikes. There is no way anyone could keep so many bikes together, just impossible; you should be proud of yourself. Great work Martin. Take care out there.
Now Neil, you do know that you need to have a screw loose to get in a sidecar don't you?? 😅 Thanks for your comments again, and indeed taking the time to watch this one - a bit out of my comfort zone, but worthwhile all the same. It's been decided that in future there'll be separate groups of no more than 30 per group, so that should make it more manageable - hopefully. Thanks again and cheers Neil. 👍
@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 My screw was that loose it’s fallen out🤪. You did good; your speed was fine. As you know, the further back you are the faster you need to go just to keep up. Slow vehicles, traffic lights, junctions etc mean you will loose people. Unless you have people like a tail end charlie who knows the route and markers waiting at junctions your never going to keep everyone together. So, we’ll done to you; that wasn’t easy; but you did it. I luv to see and hear Daisy, always a treat when she features on your channel. Take care fella.
Went a couple of years ago. Heatwave that day too
Thanks for watching, aye it was indeed a good hot day - went downhill fast soon afterwards. 😎
Hi Martin, The sight and sound of all those motorbikes coming along the road must have been quite spectacular! 🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️
Yes it was impressive Stephen, but too many for comfort to be honest - raised a good few quid for cancer research though. Thanks for watching again. 👍
Nice ride out Martin, especially as I normally go the opposite way from Notts to Staffs via Derbyshire!!! Oh and thanks for the comment re my MZ TS 250 great little bike.
Thanks for watching David, yes it was a nice little ride (for those who didn't get separated along the way!) I've always had a lot of time for the TS 250. I used to use one quite a bit in the '70s and couldn't fault it - just had to watch the main bearing seals if I remember rightly - it was good to see one on display. 👍
@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 Yes they go well, did a trip to North Wales last weekend and it never missed a beat. Off to Crich Classic Bike Day tomorrow so its fingers crossed for the weather.
Can you oil the shed door hinges please Martin. Lovely vid. Unfortunately I couldn't make the run even though I'm up the Yew Tree most weeks.
Morning David, doors suitably lubed now! 😅 Thanks for watching and I'll hopefully see you in The Tree soon, cheers. 👍
Marvellous video! Hope your leg is getting better!
Cheers Steven, yes the knee's improving steadily thanks. Thanks for watching again and stay safe. Cheers. 👍
You don't shy from the impossible, do you Martin 😳. Lovely ride though. 👍
Morning Peter, not so much that, more like a case of being a mug who finds it difficult to say no! 🤨😅 Every year I say it's the last time, but as someone once said, never say never again! 😂 Thanks for watching again anyway Peter, and ride safe. 👍
@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 you too, Martin 🏍️
What was the motorized bicycle that you got interrupted just before it? I wish you speedy recovery.. I am on physio therapy at the moment.. Hurts like hell .. p.s. Some of the sound volume levels are wildly different after cut on the riding section.
Good evening Stefan, I didn't get too good a look at the bicycle unfortunately, but it looks to be powered by a 'Winged Wheel', but whether or not it's BSA's version I wouldn't care to say. The knee's improving steadily thanks, but physio's a distinct possibility. Yes, whenever I try a two camera setup balancing the audio can be a bit of a balancing act - must try harder! Thanks for watching again anyway Stefan, cheers. 👍
afternoon Martin.quick word .great video thank you...old dave
Cheers Dave, I appreciate you taking the time, regards Martin. 👍
lovely wife fast asleep on settee more often now
Morning Martin! We were there too but left before you arrived. My son in law took his CB900 cafe racer project for it's first bike show. Stupidly,! on my video, I posted the wrong date - put 2023 instead of 2024! Sorry I missed you
Cheers Allan, yes people had started to slope off when we got there .... It's a great little venue, but never again will I attempt to keep 90 bikes together! Apparently second rider drop-off doesn't work with the group, but nor does anything else from what I could see. Apparently next year we're going to split into small groups - if I have a change of heart and agree to do it again! (never say never again!😳) Thanks for watching again anyway. 👍
Morning Martin great video best bike in video in my opinion was the Norton in silver and light blue at the end of the video hope you had a great time and safe journey home take care
Cheers Nicholas, yes that bike caught my attention straight away. I just couldn't find its owner to ask about its origin. Looks like it's an ES2. (didn't realise Norton did a plunger frame!) 👍
Thank you.
Interesting again Martin. I don’t like football either, in fact I’ll be in the bath when the match is on tomorrow. Sorry to hear about your knee, hope it gets better soon. ⚽️🛀
Hi Stephen and thanks for watching again. Yes, in the four years before starting the tour work with Shearings I worked for a local coach/bus operator, and the so-called highlight of my week was taking the local supporters to Old Trafford for Manchester United home matches, and that just about put the tin hat on it for me! (something I'd never go back to) My knee's improving steadily now Stephen, thanks for asking. 👍
Glad you said, "East Riding", my bank letters still insist on calling it, "North Humberside" - a place which does not formally exist. Hope you get well soon.
Afternoon Steve, yes since Matt moved across there I've learnt a lot about the political boundaries and the way they've changed over the years. East Riding it is, and so should it remain! Cheers and thanks for watching again. 👍
Gotta say I'm with you regarding football. Yep, I enjoy the emptier roads too when there is football match on. Good to see Daisy getting an outing Martin. You've been busy researching again. Luv the historic articles, please keep them coming and thank you for such an enjoyable video. Hope your knee is feeling better real soon. Mind how you go fella and ride safe
Afternoon Neil, and it's good to know that there's others who feel the same way about the blessed game! Yes, I'm making good use of Daisy while it's behaving itself, but I'm worried that Blizzard might be feeling left out. The research thing is a leftover from my coach touring experience, and it's a sort of second nature now. Knee's improving steadily thanks, and I'm hoping to get back in action soon. 🤞 Thanks again Dave, and stay safe yourself, cheers. 👍
Just to add ,,, regarding the River banks,,the sea level may have dropped ,but those banks are still needed because every 20/30 years there is whats called a surge ,maybe its an extra high Spring tide coupled with a storm surge,and before you know it the sea is lapping just outside Ottringham.... My old home at Ryehill the sea use to lap at the bottom of the hill(back in 1800s) ,,look on google where Ryehill is compared to the river..
Cor Martin you,v done your research on my home town Withernsea,, and Sunk island.. I believe all Sunk Island is still owned by the Crown,,we use to do high speed runs there back in the 70s (65 top whack from a Starfire) You mention Cherry cobb sands.Well my 1st home was in Ryehill and one Christmas about 1963 my Mum and Dad took me and bro and Sis to a Carol service in a Nissan hut there on a freezing night as I remember it was pretty bleak...If you think there are alot of old war buildings now.. At the end of the 60s they were all over the shop and great for kids to explore Spurn Point was just amazing and bloody dangerous... oh I could tell some stories.....cheers
Hello again and thanks for watching. Yes I always try and do my research, but obviously on this occasion not enough to pick up the fact that there's a Crown property out there. We enjoy spending time across there exploring, although we've yet to get to Spurn Point. It's also good to read that Fort Paull will hopefully be re-opening. Thanks again anyway, cheers. 👍
A up giving a tour of the kings land 😉 if you want a run out u can sit in the chair and I will take you to Matlock
Nice idea Dean, but thinking about getting this knee bent to get in the chair brings me out in a cold sweat. 🥴
Morning Martin. (UP at 4am .Lovely wife now safe and asleep on settee 8am so able to catch up) nice video. Looks a nice motorcycle cafe. Daisy gets attention. And you know I love the history...thank you. Suggestion (paul zig does Canada and US .very knowledgeable gent like yourself Motorcycle camping and history. touring. Right up my street for enjoyment. Hope the knee gets better mate take care and thank you sir. The old fella
Good afternoon Dave, and thanks for watching again. It's an interesting area across there, and the gathering at the café is a bit of a bonus. Thanks for the recommendation for Paul Zig by the way, his is my sort of channel. The knee's improving steadily thanks, so I'll see you in the next one. Cheers Dave. 👍
Hello Martin. I'm with you on football. I've always lived by the sea and can't imagine living more than a few miles of it but you benefit from beautiful inland villages where you are.. Just back from staying in an hotel on Llandudno seafront where there was a bath to have to climb into for a shower. What a palaver. Very awkward. Hope your injury repairs itself soon. Great little ride and imparting your knowledge of an area I'm unfamiliar with . Many thanks, Martin
Good afternoon Peter, yes I know my lack of interest in the blessed game won't suit everyone, but it's the way I am. It really didn't help when I first started driving coaches, that the highlight of my week was transporting members of the local supporters club to Old Trafford for Manchester United home matches! Well now, regarding my clumsiness getting out of the bath, we now have a nice new anti-slip bathmat, so hopefully no repeat occurrences. 🤞 I'm glad you found this little bit of The East Riding interesting - it's not really my sort of surroundings, but fascinating all the same. Thanks again Peter. 👍

So sorry to hear about your knee, Martin. I am in my 6th month in after twisted my knee in January on the ice. 2 doctors /knee mechanics/ and 1 repair in /surgery a month ago/ and still cannot fully open/extend my knee/leg. But i'm riding my scooter around and trying to train on the bicycle.. Thinking of buying a cruiser to be low with the perfect bend for my leg to be super comfortable. Have my eye on old Yamaha Virago 535 on the local 2nd hand market .. Otherwise I had my trigger on the new CF moto 450 MT, the bike that seams to be the unicorn people wanted for years and years but not with that disabled leg on mine. The KLE is a 500, Martin.. There is a 400 version for you know what reason. There is not a 650 version, the 650 is called Versys and it's more road orientated adventure bike.
Morning Stefan, yes what is it with these knees - a constant source of problems as we get older (and clumsier!). I've been giving serious thought to scooter in the not too distant future, mainly as a way of staying on two wheels. 🤔 Yes I really should've known that the KLE was a 500, and it doesn't surprise me that there was a 400 too. It was the 650KLR that I was thinking about. My oldest son Nick just sold his 650 Versys, which although it's a good bike just didn't really fit the bill for me. Yes, the CF Moto 450 - I can't help being a bit envious of Rest Day Rider having got her hands on one before I've even been invited for my test ride. Time will tell if it's the elusive Unicorn! Thanks again Stefan - always good to read your comments. 👍
Enjoyed that, a part of the world I have visited due to the other half coming from Hull or as they say Ull.

Hey up Nige, I'm glad you connected with this one as there aren't so many people who know much about the area. When I worked at the Yorkshire interchange for Shearings Holidays I used to smile at the announcers sometimes ' will all passengers for 'Eckmondwyke, 'Alifax, 'Uddersfield and 'Ebden Bridge please go to bay.......' It is indeed a fascinating area around Thorngumbald and Paull. We often sit outside The 'Umber Tavern watching the ferry go out - which I fully intend using next summer with the bike. Thanks for watching again, cheers. 👍
