Cycling to the Cafe on the Square Barnoldswick. I'm a cyclist & I live in the Pennines

[@martinandrew4227]

Another nice video, I like the quality of the information you include. It adds more depth to your routes.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Martin and thank you for the feedback, there are so many options to get to these well know places and I am continually on the quest to find new ones or reminiscing about old ones which I used to ride on

[@nickhadden2094]

Really lovely video Daz. Thank you 👍🍺

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Nick, I am working on another one where I went out into the Dales over towards Bolton Abbey. The scenery around there is second to none.

[@rogerdavis3454]

I can relate to your comments about getting old and needing a nature break. I tell my wife all it seems I do anymore is forget things and pee. Great video as usual. Hope you wrap up those DIY projects soon so you can make more videos.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I commute daily Roger and will go just before I set off and normally need a quick nature break at 10 miles. It must be all the tea I drink at work. The dreaded DIY projects keep coming though and the list seems to get longer and longer......

[@terry9164]

Superb video as usual Daz, very informative and great scenery and yes nature breaks are the norm for me too when out cycling, Old age no good 🙄🤣🤣🤣😎🚴‍♂️👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hi Terry , it's nice to have a pee with a good view of the hills🙂. I'm back in the Yorkshire Dales next.

[@SteveBrill]

Superb scenery and a very interactive commentary as usual. 😊👍 Some of those hills look tough, but ai guess you get conditioned to the terrain. Stay safe on the roads. 💪

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you Steve and yes if you live in these parts you kind of know how to get over the hills, I like to just sit down and find a nice gear that works for me, It's not a race and I have nothing to prove but having some basic fitness means you can enjoy them that little bit more.

[@jaywhitney789]

Absolutely great video daz, honestly matey the filming that goes into your videos is very impressive. I'm looking forward to the next video 😎🤙🏽🚴‍♂️

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you so kindly Jay, I am trying 😀 The editing takes up a lot of spare time but I want to tell the story the best I can .

[@garyward2837]

All my local roads them Daz. It was me who shouted Mr Daz at you near Gordon Riggs garden centre that day. I'd just been up crag vale👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

That rings a bell, I was wondering who it was. I tend to drive out these days to places that put me right onto the roads that can take an hour and half or so to ride to, which means you can explore more placers and not worry about getting back home. It was nice to do a relatively local ride on this day.

[@cdwilson12]

Great ride again Daz and awesome video. All of those country roads look amazing to ride on coupled with that scenery!! Your videos keep getting better and I always look forward to them. It's good you tell the story rather than just cycling along and playing some music in the background.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you for the great feedback Cwil, I am taking a lot more effort in how they are put together these days. They can be very time consuming both on the road and back at home with the editing but it can be a very rewarding side to the hobby as they are all new skills that are being acquired.

[@cdwilson12]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures definitely!! Even my wife said when I had one of your other videos on the TV she said "does he cycle back for his camera" you were cycling uphill at the time and I said yes he's always doing it. It does add an extra element to your videos though and even on the hardest hundred you were doing the cycle-by's even on a route as tough as that.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

The flyby shots are great for adding another perspective to the ride and can only really be done when I ride solo. Most cyclists don't have the patience to hang around and to keep stopping and starting, which is fair enough. Or like in the past I have put a massive effort in to get ahead of the guys on the group rides to make the shots work. It can get interesting when you take 3 cameras out on a ride too. This can be a chest harness for cam 1, a seatpost clamp for cam 2 and a mini tripod cam for the flyby shots. Putting then together on a timeline with no script written down can become a proper brain teaser. The audio on the current Gopro is basically crap but it's image stabilisation is very good. I've tried to use a separate audio recorder which does work but there is a lot of faffing to turn it on and then off and to tell yourself on the mic what the scene is.. You end up with harnesses and wires and devices stuffed all over the place, and you are in lycra 🤔

[@mattjohn7700]

Brilliant video Daz ,your good at telling a story with your editing skills.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Matt, the average speed plummets trying to make these videos with all the flyby shots

[@scottrobertson9452]

Very good, Daz. As a Yank in the States that looked like a fun and interesting ride but I doubt that I could keep up with you! Scott inUSA

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hi Scott, I don't ride that quick anymore and am trying to make a concerted effort to keep the pace steady as I am getting that Little bit older now. It was a great ride and the views are a big part of it for me, they always have been. Thanks for your comments buddy

[@sophiescyclingandwalkingch4294]

Thanks for making this one Daz, I thought it was the one from the Cross of Greet😊 I checked the map, but it’s next to it. I’ve only gone up it and over to Stocks. I’ll have to put that right now😊

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

There are so many little towns and places that link Lancashire and Yorkshire in this part of the world Sophie. It is a good local (ish) ride for me to help build up the stamina and is well worth a visit especially with Skipton just around the corner

Another great video daz with some interesting roads , that river at the bottom on cobbles must be very sketchy & must of claimed some riders. Had a cracking lip out to Kirby Lonsdale this morning and great to Be back in summer gear at last

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers pal, there is a green slime on the cobbles so you do have to be careful. I had a nice little jaunt out today on my commute, in shorts too. 10 miles to and 30 miles from work. It is so much better riding this time of year compared to November and December....

Nice run, I was wondering which way you'd go home. Those cobbled fords always put the wind up me - tricky things. Lovely weather and great visibility for the approach to "that place near Earby" ;-)

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

This is usually a nice winter ride or early spring one Gordon because the distance is just about right for a cold trip out and it's relatively local. But a bit like your videos, it's good to showcase local routes around, Lancashire and Yorkshire and sometimes Cumbria

[@clippingin1593]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I'd class it as a good anytime ride. It's good value for sixty miles. I haven't been over there for nearly 20 years, and even back then I'd default to the Herders rather than get myself lost on Trawden -Worsthorne - Holme Chapel. After seeing your video I'll give it a bash this year.

I do another cracking route over this way but do Worsthorne Trawden and then the Ridehalgh lane climb over to Haworth .

Mega ride as always mate I've been to Knott end today never been before first shocking discovery no scones I mean what cafe don't have scones and then roads from Knott end to pilling are shocking

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

No Scones, flipping heck ! I feel for you there buddy. It is very flat around there that's for sure which living in the Pennines is something we are not used to and I think that at the moment the local councils must be tightly squeezed for cash because there's loads of potholes everywhere. Thanks for letting me know about your rides too, it is good to hear from others who are enjoying their cycling.

[@theoldguyofwhinlatter157]

Hiya Daz, fantastic camera work how do you do it. Did a ride on my Orro bike (no motor) mostly flat road, really enjoyed it. The reason I like my orbea ebike is that it's low assist but helps me up the hills as I live at the top of a hill and just a few miles from the lake district. Unfortunately in 2017 I had heart by pass surgery (an hereditary cholesterol problem). Don't like to push it too hard in case the stiches come out 😮 joke joke, well they might! Will come and try your neck of the woods this summer. Thanks pal
