Thanks mate, I have thought about it several times but not as far as Scotland but then again I’m thinking seriously about getting a new caravan with a garage big enough for my bike so it’s a big possibility as Scotland is definitely on our radar, many thanks for subscribing to my channel as well mate, it’s much appreciated, of course it goes without saying that I’ve subscribed to your channel too pal 🙏👍🫡

Nice one, cheers!

No mate, thank you 🙏👍

Thanks Ian, I hope you have the energy to be able to do a ride in the Peak District soon, local rides are great but there’s nothing like a ride in the Peak District 😉

Thanks Rob, it was great to be out in the snow again, it’s been so long since I last rode in the snow, D’ya know I completely forgot about that washout until I saw the video 🤣 I was trying my best not to get zapped by the electric fence and my front wheel got caught in a little rut and WHOOSH, the rest is history 🤣🤣

@ ha. I was saying to myself don’t slip the other way into the fence 😂😂

I know what you mean mate, I was saying that that to myself as I was riding it too, and then I was off in the snow having a lay down 🤣🤣

Thanks buddy, really enjoyed it although I was completely knackered when I got home, this was recorded on Tuesday morning, the snow stayed around until this morning when heavy rain washed it away, it’s not as bad as it is in your neck of the woods but it’s raining quite heavy still, I live on top of a hill so we’re ok 👍

Thanks Rob, yeah seems like forever since my last ride, it looks pretty clear but I still have to play around with the settings, I set it to wide angle instead of hyper wide angle but hey ho, every day is a school day 😁

@@yorkneytrailrider1751does look good in wide, but will be good to see what it looks like in Hyper view. I read your video description after my first comment. Sorry to hear that you have been having a traumatic time mate and I hope things are getting easier for you now.

Thanks Rob, yea it’s been a tough few months, I saw someone kill themself and it’s left me with flashbacks and really graffic nightmares, I’m lucky if I get a few hours sleep each night even after going out on my bike it wasn’t much better, I feel so weak without sleep so I’m signed off work until things get better ☹️ The hyper wide angle isn’t as wide as I was expecting to be honest, but then it’s not going to be because GoPro conveniently sell a separate superdupa wide angle fisheye lens at almost £100, it’s marginally wider than the widest lens on my 9 black, ok I know I’ve put some weight on since I’ve been off work but not that much to make that much difference, we got some snow Monday night so went for a ride yesterday but I played around with the settings and only discovered this when I started editing the footage yesterday afternoon, as you can imagine it wasn’t what I hoping for 😠

@ ohhh 😮. Sorry to hear that Sean. Can’t begin to imagine something like that happening mate.

@@EMTBnorthyorkshiredad I don't want to imagine it either Rob but I can't get it out of my head at the moment, its mental torture with the nightmares mate, its woken me early again hence why I'm typing this at this god unholy hour 😩

Thanks mate, it was an enjoyable ride but I was knackered when I got home, nearly 4 months of sleep deprivation has had a real negative effect, it was a bit surprising to see so many stingers and brambles still around 👍

@yorkneytrailrider1751 round here it's only really started dying back the last couple of weeks the leaves have all fallen very quickly the last two weeks too .Todays been the first really frosty Day that will start to finish off what's left . I'm not looking forwards to the next few months plus at the moment the ferry is still broken so it's harder to get into Grizedale for us

Not good no ferry, I should imagine it’s a big inconvenience mate, it’s just started snowing here in Sheffield so we might wake up tomorrow to a white world, most of the leaves have fallen here too, I like the autumn and I like the snow but only when I’m not at work like at the moment 😎

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 if we dont have the ferry on we have the horrible road ride to and from Ambleside getting skimmed by traffic on the section for the Low wood hotel to waterhead holding all the traffic up, i counted 32 cars that i had held up when i pulled over at the low wood on a return earlier in the year while the ferry was having its re fit,and at was me killing myself to try and do 20mph ish so above assist and on wide tyres with plenty of drag. Its not a nice ride compared to 15 minutes after the ferry I can be in Grizedale

Bloody hell that sounds 💩I hate riding on the roads too, it’s bad enough where I live but it’s nowhere near as bad as that mate, hopefully the ferry is fixed quickly, I hope so for your sake, I know what that feels like trying to ride at 20 mph on an ebike is no joke ☹️

Thanks Ian, I’m looking forward to getting back out again soon too mate, hopefully it’ll not be too long, just need to get some strength back, I’ve never felt as weak in all my life ☹️

@ That’s horrible mate, fingers crossed you’re back up and running soon mate 👍🏼

It is but I’ve heard it said that when we get to our lowest point in life we then start to climb back up, any lower and I’ll feel like a snakes belly in a cattle grid 🤣🤣

@ 😂😂 only upwards Sean 👍🏼

Absolutely pal 👍🙏

Of course it’s alright to ask Rob, no I haven’t been getting notifications but not only that has been happening, from time to time, I find that I get unsubscribed too, I only this out when I realise I’ve not seen any videos from a few people, I do a check and hey presto, unsubscribed again, it really pisses me off as I look forward to seeing videos from a core group of KZbinrs, of course your one of this core group Rob 👍🙏

@ thanks Sean. I appreciate that. It’s happening to me too. Unsubscribed to channels when I haven’t. I don’t know what can be done. Not that I expect comments but certain core people always comment (like you pal). And also some comments I leave for core people don’t show up there end. 🥹. I suppose we are stuck with it though….

If we were a channel that had thousands of subscribers I dare say it’d be different, because they’re earning KZbin lots of money in commissions and advertising they’ll keep their subscriber numbers as high as possible without unsubscribing people, I’ve only got 78 subscribers so they’ll not be bothered 😕

I meant to say that if I see someone posting a video I do my best to remember to comment, my trouble is that I watch the videos on my television and then go on my phone and comment, I sometimes forget to do when I’m sat up in bed on my phone that’s when I leave comments 👍

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 I do the same. It’s mint watching it on tv.

Yeah it was pretty wet but it was a fun ride all the same, as it’s semi rural where I live with a couple of council estates dotted here and there, there’s quite a few of those bike barriers which I hate but they’re a necessity I suppose although I do hate them, I'm sure there are other ways of stopping people on motorbikes 👍

@EMTBnorthyorkshiredad, thanks Rob, oh mate we had such a laugh, don’t get me wrong I love fast riding but it goes to show that a nice steady ride can be fun, but I think it depends on the company and the company was brilliant pal, anyway we had an absolutely brilliant day 👍👍

Thanks mate, it wasn’t completely empty, I saw around 8 people in all, in fact I had a lovely chat with a couple of ladies at Lost Lad but they didn’t want to be on video, the others were a family with some children which I never show on video 😉👍

Certainly was, very fast and flowy, of course in reality a GoPro doesn’t show how steep climbs and descents really are, thanks for your comments Jen 👍🙏😉

I know, I had to do a double take when I saw them 🤣 the farmer has loads of chainsaw carvings dotted around his yard and the huge spider on it’s web has to be seen up close to get an idea of the detail, it must’ve cost a fortune as it must be stainless steel 👍

Thanks Jen, yep your absolutely right , I deffo think my latest video was better than this one 👍😉

Thanks Jen, it certainly was but a couple of parts were above my pay grade, the important thing is I had fun even when I came off 🤣🤣

Cheers pal, it was an epic ride, I think you’d like this one too Ian, in fact you’ll probably be able to ride all of it too 👍😉

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 😂😂 aye I’ve had that loop on my list for a while just not got around to it yet. As long as you enjoyed it mate that’s all that matters 👍🏼

I wouldn’t leave it long to try it pal, with the rain we’re going to get it’ll turn into a real bogfest, do it on a weekday if you can, gets busy at the weekend, if I could advise you on something about this ride is to NOT turn up the fire road and do the Screaming Mile as it’s been completely ruined with the forestry work, keep going along the valley road and turn right at the side of the car park opposite Derwent village and turn left at the top, it’ll be a much better climb although steeper than the boring fire road, the Screaming Mile should be renamed the Moaning Mile as that’s what I found myself doing under my breath as I rode down it ☹️

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 Aye screaming mile it’s not good not pal I stay well away from it I will kinda make my own loop up on this so it won’t be exactly the same but cheers for the heads up 👍🏼

No worries mate, I wish I had the sense of direction to do that, I prefer to follow what others have done and the mileage and ascent is displayed so there’s no fear of my battery going flat 😁😁

Thanks Paul and thanks for your influence to do this ride in the first place, steep? no mate, near vertical yes 🤣 and an epic ride too, some of it was beyond my abilities but I like that because it helps me push my boundaries and hopefully advance my riding skills hopefully without killing myself 😁👍

PMSL I love that Rob, cheers buddy it was a great ride but some of it was well above my pay grade pal 😁

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 it looked very steep. You know it’s steep when it looks steep on a GoPro. 😀

I edited out the steepest section because I ended holding onto my bike and I used it to steady myself, the steepest descent I’ve seen 😲

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 you did brilliant.. I reckon that’s one of your best vids yet mate. I like em all but that one was epic 🤩

Thanks Rob, that’s very kind of you to say that mate, I’m just blown away that people actually want to watch my videos and watch a bumbling old fool riding a bike 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for your reply Jonathan and kind words too mate, yeah I chopped it out because it took me a while to get down that deep gully and I figured out no one would want to watch me and listening to me blowing out of my arse 🤣🤣 I know that steep ridge line but didn’t know it started there, if I’d have known that I would have gone that way instead, thanks for pointing it out to me pal, much appreciated Jonathan 👍🙏🙏🙏

Thanks buddy yeah I usually laugh at myself when I come off, I laughed when I broke my thumb but that’s my warped sense of humour Bob 😁😁 I thought I was right about the flagstones, should be able to ride where we like as long as it’s safe, that bell is the Bain of my life, although it’s locked in the silent position it still rings when I’m riding gnarley stuff, bloody thing wasn’t cheap either, I think it’ll end up in the bin and I’ll get something that’s simple and foolproof, that’ll suit me 🤣🤣

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 my aliexpress electric horn is good but the minimum of the slightest press is 3 seconds I'll demo it next time out lol, I laugh too so long as I'm not injured

I’ll be sure to listen out for it pal, thanks 🙏

​@@yorkneytrailrider1751Ha ha yep the timber bell is a great idea in theory but it is expensive and annoying as hell. I took mine off 😂

@MTB_Derbyshire your not wrong Jonathan, I think mine will probably end up in the filing cabinet, dammed thing 👎

Absolutely mate, I wasn’t keen on the road work but it’s mostly quiet stuff, the XC trails soon made me forget about them 😁😉

Cheers Ian, I’m hoping to get that creaking noise fixed so I can get back out on a ride in the Peak District, I’ve got my car back too, £1500 lighter 😲

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 Ouch, cars suck at times mate!

I can’t complain really, my car has been brilliant and it’s not cost much in repairs over the 11 years we’ve owned it, it’s 14 years old and still looks great with no rust on the bodywork, in fact the only blemish on the bodywork was caused by my crappy parking in a car park earlier this year 🫣

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 Aye you canna moan at that bud 👍🏼

Nope not really pal 👍😁

Absolutely Bob, I enjoyed it very much mate, I’m not as lucky as you but I do have a few rides I can do that are local to me, my car is done now so it’ll not be too long until I’m back out, I’ve got to suss out where that annoying noise is coming from first 😉

Man after my own heart, thanks for your kind words Rob 🙏🙏

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 😎👍

Your right and I only noticed it after I released the video, I wear earbuds and I can’t hear much else apart from when I’m yakking 🤣🤣 yeah it’s quite a good ride despite the road work 😉 thanks for your feedback buddy 🙏🙏

Yeah it is mate, I’ve got nothing against walkers but yeah it’s better when you don’t see any 🤣🤣 I’ve had more descents spoiled by walkers than sheep, I got the bell from an online shop but I can’t remember which one, it’s a Timber bell, just do a Google search for one and my advice is get one with the proper clamp, the one that’s held in place with an ‘O’ ring is cra💩 and spins on the bars ☹️

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 Cheers Sean mate 🫡

There were quite a lot of people knocking around but I edited them out, I’ve found that some people don’t like to see themselves on KZbin, I’ve had people say to me “are you recording me, I don’t want to be on KZbin “ so to not cause any offence, I just edit them all out 👍

Ah yes, good shout! 👏

Thanks Bob, yeah it was a good mental pick me up and it kept my mind active, but unfortunately I was up very early this morning after another bad night, I dredd night time and try to stay up as long as I can in hope I might sleep better but so far it’s not working, thanks for your kind words mate, it’s very much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

I laughed too when I read his hi-viz vest too pal 🤣🤣

Thanks Ian, yep the simplicity of a bit of aluminium, trouble is I now have a slight creaking noise but I’m sure it’s coming from my non drive side crank arm, I had to remove that to check all the connectors on my motor but I only realised that when I was on the ride that I didn’t use any marine grease, if it turns out it’s not that that’s creaking I’ll check out the cassette again 😉

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 Hopefully you sort it Sean, horrible have those annoying creaks for sure 👍🏼

Cheers Rob, I’m not an expert pal, a lot of the time it’s a process of illumination, this time I had an idea that it might be a magnet/sensor issue because I was getting no speed readout on my Kiox, I just removed the back wheel and moved another magnet I had in front of the sensor making sure it was facing the correct way, ie North South poles of a magnet as it only works one way on my bike, when I got a readout I knew it was the magnet, I bought some industrial strength magnets of varying sizes just in case one didn’t work, then I’d have a choice of what to try next 😉 I just have to find out where the creaking noise is coming from now, as I said to Ian, I think it’s coming from the non drive side crank arm as I forgot to add some marine grease to it on refitting it, oh well it’s either that or the cassette 🤞🤞🤞

Thanks Jonathan, I love this area but I’ll be the first to admit I don’t ride it enough, I don’t want to get bored of it so I make a return visit every so often just to keep my interest fuelled, yep I came a cropper but it still made me chuckle 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks Tony, your not wrong buddy, it does shake you about, it amazes me how some people can just fly down those descents at speed and stay in control, when I let my brakes off 💩 happens 😂😂

@yorkneytrailrider1751 it takes confidence and trust in yourself and bike. I did jacobs ladder this year and wouldn't of been able to do it last yr. Just a progression

Your totally right Tony, I lost complete confidence after I broke my thumb but it’s slowly returning and I find myself taking on stuff I wouldn’t think of doing a little while ago, mind you when you watch videos on KZbin it looks like the steep stuff is flat, I’m hoping that GoPro has cracked that with the new GoPro 13 black 🤞

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 go do sutton bank. Beautiful ride and scenery

😂

@IanCran76, it was brilliant pal, some fantastic technical stuff and some new stuff too, yeah that section after the cairn looks well tame on camera but as you well know it’s anything but, the many pedal strikes are testament to that, the bracken and gorse certainly didn’t help but I enjoy the challenge of that too, even though I took a fall I very much enjoyed it as I did the whole ride Ian, thanks for sharing it mate 🙏🙏😉😉

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 Not a problem mate glad you enjoyed 🙂👍🏼

🤣🤣🤣I’m gonna get squished one of these days though, thanks for subscribing to my channel Abby, I’ve done the same for you 🙏🙏👍👍

Thanks mate, it’s funny you should say that about recognising sections, I say that because I watched a video last night from another KZbin’r who did the same route 3 months ago and it was unrecognisable only because of the lack of vegetation, the section where the farmer had blocked the road with a tractor was like the difference between night and day 😉

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 true, sometimes it can be ....."where the heck us that?" On a trail you've ridden hundreds of times 😂

Yep that’s happened to me too Jonathan, I’ve got a 💩 memory though 🤣🤣

Thanks Ian, yeah it was great ride mate, although on the day I felt like I could have done another 10 miles on top of riding, I’ve never felt as fresh as that after a ride before, I have lost a stone in weight recently which might have had something to do with it 👍 I can’t wait for my next ride not least of all because I had a horrible day yesterday, I witnessed a guy kill himself by stabbing himself in the head and neck with a knife, not much sleep last night and getting flashbacks from it all, all this happened when I was at work ☹️

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 Fantastic on feeling good buddy thats ace!..... Damn that sounds horrid mate, yeah a ride to take the mind off things can help for sure.

Thanks Gillian, I totally agree, I like overgrown sections as long as they’re not thick with stingers and brambles, I rode through Gorse and it didn’t scratch my legs one bit get a bramble stem wrapped it’s self around my right leg and made it’s mark 🤣🤣

I forgot to mention that I’ve subscribed to your channel 😉👍

Cheers Rob, I didn’t think it was going to move at first but when I started flapping my arm like a sacrificial chicken, they backed off, I am careful around cow’s that have calves though, after all they could flatten me no problem, I know it sounds daft but I get a feeling if they look like they’re going to scarper or not, if they stand fast, I turn around and get the hell out of there 😂 It was an awesome ride with many great sections mate 😎😎

Thanks Ian, your welcome mate, hope it helps you get more subscribers, it looks like I’ve a couple more off this video so I’m happy about that, I never went into KZbin to be some kind of influencer but it’s nice to know that people are watching and liking what I’m doing and subscribing of course, it was great to get out again but because I’ve not been out in a while I’m getting leg cramps, looks like I’ll be scoffing bananas for a while 🤣🤣

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 I’m deffo at the bottom end of what a “KZbinr” is mate that’s for sure 😂 Great stuff on growing your channel mate you’re doing great!

Rubbish pal, your too modest 🫡 Thanks for your kind comments too, it’s much appreciated 🙏 That’s great Ian, can you send me a link to your Komoot account and I’ll start following you, Jesus Christ I sound like some kind of weirdo stalker 🤣🤣🤣

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 lol you should have put the footage in

I nearly did but I didn’t think anyone would like to hear me swearing, I always edit the swearing out unless I’ve missed one or two 🤣🤣

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 I gave up editing my swearing out .... There wouldn't be much left if I removed it lol ... Just sat at the ferry ..going to do a gentle solo ride and litter pick on my way up into Grizedale ..the plan is to go down the path that I thought I was on when I did the sketchy one.... Sometimes I've put a warning in about my language ...only sometimes

I did a lot of swearing too, more than usual I think pal, I’m not judging anyone who leaves swearing in their videos it’s just something I feel uncomfortable with mate, I’m not lily white though because I’m sure if my first video had swearing in it, that makes me a hypocrite 🤣🤣

It was dry where I live in the south side of Sheffield too but as soon as I crossed the Derbyshire border it started, I should have known it’d rain on my first day off in weeks, oh well I’m not going to melt and neither is my bike 😉 Ian is a star and shared this ride a while ago 👍
