BIKEPACKING : YORKSHIRE DALES: Relaxing Trip Gone Wrong!?

[@Darthshearer]

Great video. That first 'bothy' you found isn't a bothy. It's a shelter the establishment use when out shooting. I.e a shooting lodge.

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Yeah I figured they may not all be strictly bothies - but if in a pinch if its a worth a punt!

2:02 yes bloody beautiful

Its 'Massum' - local weird pronunciation rules in these parts Richard ;-)

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Figures. Local pronunciations wherever I ride. 😁

[@stephenn9680]

I bet that's Old Church Lane at Pateley Bridge you're walking up. I did it once, still not sure how I managed it. Great video, love the scenery despite the rain, thanks.

[@BikepackingAdventures]

It was really picturesque when we finally got up there!

[@mattjohn7700]

Brilliant video Richard. Enjoyed that you're mates a right character lol.

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Isn't he just!

[@paulpearce9750]

Great little tour there Richard good to see you keeping your spirits high despite the drab weather and midges! What was the tent you had? Looked interesting with access on both sides. 👍

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Hi Paul, I've had that great tent for at least a couple of years now. It's from NatureHike, it's the Mongar 2. Plenty of room. =)

Good video put mudgards on that bike it will keep the bike clean and you.

[@BikepackingAdventures]

I bought a rear mudguard to match the front, but sadly it won't fit. When I next replace the tyres am going to go with narrow tyres, right now 2.35", probably drop down to 2.2" maybe that will help. =)

How do you find the Hover drone? Worth it?

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Hi Lee, I believe so, I find the price tag pretty good as well. Last time I looked if you wanted a DJI drone with "follow me" mode you were looking over £800 plus. It may not have all the bells and whistles but for cycling and similar outdoor pursuits it's ideal.

[@arrestedcurve]

Whilst finding your video interesting and amusing being English I would have preferred hearing you speak of miles instead of, or as well as kilometres.

[@Darthshearer]

I am English and use KM's but that's because I have watched Pro cycling for 30 years now.
