Durham to GREAT DUN FELL and back! - Cycling Britain's highest road.

Great video, Stuggy! This is bringing back all the memories of climbing up GDF! Massive kudos for stopping and being able to get started again on those inclines, that's no mean feat! Even more kudos for putting the camera down for the B-roll of you cycling past, as I know you had to cycle back down to get the camera before carrying on! The trials and tribulations of being a KZbinr! Also, 3:55 'He's on an e-bike' said through gritted teeth! I felt your pain. 🤣 Spent a week staycation in Appleby a few years too and agree it's absolutely stunning. We even stopped at Hartside Summit on a scenic route back from Windermere to Appleby. Beautiful view that. Can't believe you did this as part of a 200km+ ride though and on a broken spoke for the last half. I barely managed the 8km GDF climb on its own. You'll smash that Audax. Chapeau, sir! 🧢

Thanks Peter! Not quite as polished as yours yet, but I'm learning how to do it. It's so time consuming editing. I started off with over 2 hours of footage, and it took me nearly 2 days to edit it down! I must try and do more videos and be more constant with them. I would have loved to have done more 'B-roll', but I was limited on time and still had another 100km to ride home!

Nice to meet you at the top and hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip back. We made the cut! 😊 Lois & Roger

Hi Lois and Roger! It was great to see you at the top of Great Dun Fell :) I started off with over 2 hours of footage, and it was a long job to edit it down, but I had to keep you two in! May our paths cross another time. Take care and happy pedalling :)

[@LoisAttride]

​@AyupStuggy thank you! Yes, might see you on another epic ride one day 👍

[@AyupStuggy]

I look forward to it :)

I've ran up that road to the top and back from Knock , 40 ,odd years ago It was in the evening and I remember being really cold on the way down .

[@AyupStuggy]

Wow - that's impressive! I remember those days of my youth, doing amazing stuff with hardly any training. Now we really have to keep working hard at it!

[@JohnByrne4466]

[@AyupStuggy]

Coil spring

[@AyupStuggy]

Thanks for commenting... I'm not sure what you mean by that one though! :)

[@htukmumfie]

@@AyupStuggy the object in the road was a coil spring off a car

[@AyupStuggy]

Haha! Thanks - I didn't think of that. I think you are right!

brutal climb

[@AyupStuggy]

It definitely was, the camera doesn't pick up most of it though! I'd like to try it again on fresher legs. :)
