Fair play taking your bike up & down the hills! Hope you enjoyed wildcamping up a mountain and would do more of it. Cheers, Mari

[@electricwheels411]

That was an awesome adventure in Yorkshire and so much scenery to look at whilst travelling around looking for a place to bed down for hte night. A great spot you chose with a cracking view. ATB GL & HH LittleJohn_MD 🇬🇧

[@hippyswift]

Thanks buddy it was a great place to spend a few days, more videos to watch soon 😎

[@mrbicycle7735]

Great trip👍🏻💪🏼💪🏼

[@hippyswift]

Thanks dude 👌

[@Tomanart]

Another great video..can I ask..how do you secure your bike when camping and also how do you deal with mosquitoes, thanks Tom

[@hippyswift]

no problems Tom nice to hear from you :) I simply get out of the way from people as possible and hardly lock it up but my routine is strict to be fair, i setup just before dark and leave early morning so nobody normally knows. i do carry a small cable lock but it is not very secure, im never in shops much so dont need to leave the bike for very long, all the best

[@tedwrink]

Great video Luke,you need to try sustrans route 81 if you want hills and incredible views,atb bud

[@hippyswift]

Thanks for the tip off 👌 take care

[@kreature6618]

Great trip Hippy! I’d call that a ‘hole in one’ 😆 those logos at the end, need to adjust when the other videos appear, covers the logos - just noticed that!

[@hippyswift]

Yeah I'm not fussed about covering logos really as people know what they are and some people have add block on so works great, trouble is getting the ending nice and that's best atm but might change to layout soon just working on few things

[@vinniep01]

I live in Keighley. Looked to me like you camped at Rivock Edge; a very nice view over the valley. Most keen local cyclists would not concider your ride tuff; it's all relative right? If you make it up here again goto Malham and cycle over to Halton Gill then head to Kettlewell and up Park Rash- separates the men from the boys.

[@hippyswift]

Haha no worries dude will note that down 😎 I'm not a fit cyclist I just ride a bike places, is rather cycle all day than waist my energy on a big hill like this, great cycle training around your way wish I could explore more

[@CrownJewelzMusicGroup]

Where was eatin..keighley?

[@hippyswift]

Yeah nice place really 😎

[@CrownJewelzMusicGroup]

[@hippyswift]

Haha yeah

[@hippyswift]

No worries it's ok, not sure when I'm going yet so don't let me hold your own trips back👌

[@lifeat10mph7]

Must be nice to have too many choices for stealth camping.

[@hippyswift]

Yes so much choice, better setup in next video for Stealth 👌
