Hi Adrian! Thanks so much for your comment and welcome to the channel. It’s so nice to hear you are enjoying the videos and comments like yours encourage us to keep them coming. Looking forwards to sharing our next adventure with you 😎👍🏻

Hi Lee and welcome to the channel 😊. Thanks very much, it does give a unique perspective and Em also flys the drone from the pillion seat 😎. As KZbin tends to play videos randomly unless from the playlist here’s the full series of Heading west (UK and Ireland) hope you enjoy them as much as we did making them 😎👍🏻 kzbin.info/aero/PLl_mRzVHVQ0zUtFe7yIi6rO-2-k465D31&si=HIEALlRm6LsP5fTo

WOW, Bradford !!!! What an experience that must have been! It would have to be an exceptional reason for me to drive my car never mind my ride my bike through the city centre of Bradford. Being born in Bradford and spending a number of years living there I have to say it has changed beyond recognition from when I was a youngster. We have now escaped and live a quieter life in the countryside. I get your take on Derbyshire Peak District. It’s somewhere I don’t tend to gravitate to on the bike for some reason. Really enjoyed the tour and seeing all the places you have visited, and laughed at some of the place name pronunciations. They are such a localised “thing” and who’s to say the way we say it is wrong or right apart from a local.🥴 looking forward to the next adventure.

[@SeanandEmily]

Yeah it was an experience to say the least! 😮. That is interesting of you to say as we thought that it looked like place that was once full of character, sad that it's been left to get on that condition. We are both more happy in the countryside so perhaps that didn't help our experience 😁. Thanks for saying that, there is literally no way anyone that has not come across some of those place names before should be expected to pronounce them correctly as they are not said phonetically 😂. Can't wait to share the next big adventure which we will filming in the next few weeks. Thanks for watching 😎👍

[@IndigoJo]

It's actually Bakewell puddings that come from Bakewell. The Bakewell tart, the one that's filled with icing with a cherry on top, is a commercial derivative of it and you can't get them in Bakewell. They're very protective about their local cuisine round there. Did you manage to get through the Snake Pass without hitting the closure? Right now it's closed for two weeks for repairs and because they think there will be a landslide.

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks for the info, the snake pass we did although we had planned to ride another part and of the Peak District but that was closed off at the time.

I was going to ask but didn't want to intrude because I didn't think it sounded like you didn't have Swiss accents, and the family visit makes sense. ☺️ I actually did my MSc with Bradford University but living in London and hardly visited but it's the sort of place which could be amazing with money invested in it but it's a little run down at the moment.

Yeah being stuck in traffic for an hour through Bradford didn’t put us in the best of moods 😁. We did enjoy Derbyshire, in fact it was a breath of fresh air to finally get out of the city traffic.

[@randyfrog1969]

North Yorkshire, Wales and the Peak District all had the same issue around the turn of the millennium. That being bikes and some cars taking to the roads irresponsibly and the end result was a dramatic increase in collision numbers. Even worse, many were so called born again bikers who had the money to buy the latest sports bikes but didn't have the experience or training to cope with them. And there were a lot of serious injuries and deaths. Each region therefore took their own measures to deal with this. North Yorkshire encouraged training and education, Wales increased police presence and adopted a zero tolerance policy, some say to actually discourage bikes from going there and the Peak District made the decision to blanket the area with 50mph zones.

[@SeanandEmily]

Ah yeah, the classic a few ruining it for the many. Yeah that born again biker thing must have been a problem, 1000cc sports bikes of today are absolute beasts of machines! That would explain the 50 zones, took a while for my pre programmed 60mph and 30mph mental pre-sets to reset lol 🤣

[@Paclampet63]

Great video of my local stomping ground. Sadly you witnessed in Bradford what is becoming the norm in many British provincial towns. The Snake Pass and the Cat and Fiddle are infamous for their nasty accidents, hence the 50 mph limit! The Snake Pass is actually named after a local Coat of Arms rather than the curvy nature of the road. I'm sad the Peak District seemed to let you down. Unfortunately it's getting worse; villages and beauty spots are getting very crowded and people in general are getting more fractious. I hear Switzerland is nice...... 😂 Thanks again for your great videos 🙏

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, thanks! Great to hear you enjoyed the video. Really sad to see what Bradford has become, looked like it was full of character in a bygone era. Yeah from what people have said that road had become a bit of a racetrack! -a few ruining it for the many. Ahh okay! That’s interesting about the cost of arms so thanks for the info 👍🏻 The peak district was great but with all the roadworks and wrong turns (our fault) it felt a bit stop and start, plus we started the day in the Lake District so was a big day 😁. Haha yeah Switzerland ain’t bad 😉 Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for leaving a comment 😎🙌🏻

[@Paclampet63]

@@SeanandEmily yeah, the Coat of Arms involved a Snake and is connected to Chatsworth Hall Estate and the Duke of Devonshire. There used to be a pub at the bottom of the Snake Pass aptly called the Snake Pass Inn! The Peak District is lovely and full of great places it's just a pity there's so many roadworks and crowds!! All the best 👌

Once in the country the views were fantastic ,I could hear the frustration coming through when in Bradford and talking about home ,but glad the rest of our ride cheered you both up.

The peak district has some fabulous (and infamous) roads (snake pass, cat n fiddle etc) but they now have low speed limits and draconian enforcement on them.

Ive just returned from a 4k mile trip round Scandinavia, talk about no signal, however, I've binned my BMW Navs, and now using the Carpuride 702B, clips straight into the BMW mount. Using google maps through Andriod Auto. I left the UK wondering if the network coverage would cause issues, so i downloaded all the maps i needed at home. Not once did my Carpuride stop navigating. Worked a treat, and with the 7 inch huge clear screen, ill be keeping it, in fact, it will be fitted to my new R1300GSA When i collect it.

Nice one! Scandinavia is spectacular. Great that the Carpureride is working for you 👍🏻 it appears a lot of people had issues with the V6 navigator, we went from the old V5 that we’ve had for 10 years to the connected ride navigator and haven’t had any issues yet……car play is for sure overdue on the BMWs.

Always enjoy your videos and appreciate the effort that must go into making each one. I have recently got back into biking after many years. My wife is keen to travel with me on a few longer rides so I wondered how you find the weather protection on the GS and can you compare to something like an BMW R1250RT? I think the weather protection is better on the RT but is the GS easier to manage? I have long legs and worry about the cramped position on an RT. Thanks:)

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Martin, great to hear that yo and your wife are looking into motorcycle travel together. Although we have never actually ridden the RT we feel the GSA offers a great amount of weather protection. Additional protection can be had with the larger touring screen too. I (Sean) am 6ft2 and find the GS comfortable and the new R1300 GSA's new engine guards actually create the perfect 'highway peg' leg rests! Again i can't really compare it with the RT but the GS is indeed very easy to handle and makes for a great two up bike, although the back rest wont be as good as that of the RT.
