We UNCOVER a WWII BUNKER and a PRIVATE AIRFIELD in the grounds!

[@tjbren576]

It's nice to see youthful energy infused into an ancient estate. Congratulations on your wedding. Good luck creating income producing ideas, and thank you for taking us on your journey!

[@capodicasa4038]

I'm a retired wedding celebrant. Use the big barn for weddings. People love barn weddings.

[@MOSloan]

I am so glad you are keeping up your GCN presenting and bike challenges! Do it all, brother!

[@fourlakes]

I don't know what else to say other than I think this channel rocks. I love cycling, I love English manor houses and history. Win, win, win...

[@FRASERMCGREGOR72]

You are so charismatic and engaging to watch and learn from James. How lucky are we to get a weekly glimpse into your life. Thank you for sharing and your editing and filming is so beautifully put together. x

[@velodjk2975]

For the non-GCN viewers, this gives a taste of James's riding style.

[@jameslombardo2]

Cycling & Manor living, Best of both worlds! #GCN #LATM

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

Ice was stored in winter…for summer…before we had refrigeration…..wow

[@fredsirvalo1904]

Hank and Emma, we wish you many happy years together.

[@andrewmcalister3462]

Hank and Emma, all the best for tomorrow. ❤

[@mikebell4468]

Quick one sir, all of us joint GCN and Francis Cade (Cade Media) supporters have unilaterally agreed you should definitely do a bike packing trip together in the not too distant future ❤ so glad to see you're still doing GCN and this amazing side project. I used to live in Long Newnton just outside Tetbury and absolutely adored the area ❤

[@Rachelannbradley]

Congratulations on getting married!! Someone gave me a bit of advice and I wanna pass it on to you, go to bed laughing as much as you can! 😊💕 wishing you guys nothing but love and happiness!!

[@morenatrooper1438]

Oh that's nice

[@lilbruin]

Hope you had a lovely wedding day and here's wishing you and Emma many glorious years together!

[@edwardmacrury5376]

Thank you James and Emma, congratulations and looking forward to following you both on your journeys.

[@christinewalker5874]

Great video James, hope to visit again next year, I have been a couple of times, the first time I met your grandfather, he showed us the church and last time your Aunt Caroline showed us around. I look forward to trying the new Cafe in the Barn. Have a great wedding day tomorrow. Chavenage is in good hahds with you and Emma.

[@Stephen-nq5kd]

Ah ha.., Life at the Manor combined with Hank on the bike… thumbs up.

[@lesliereissner4711]

Greetings from Canada! First of all, we have to compliment you on the quality of the videos. The scripts flow naturally and the video work is very good, so we are happy subscribers. Secondly, with the GCN connection hosting cyclocross events on a regular basis seems like an obvious business opportunity as there is a built-in fan base already. And lastly, but most important, we wish James (aka Hank/Jimbo) and Emma a wonderful wedding tomorrow and a happy life together. Oh, and we were disappointed that the bicycle was not ridden back into the house at the end!

[@gilesy62]

Congratulations on your marriage! Love the new channel. Happy New Year to you both. I will be sure to visit the house when I come to the UK. I love the Cotswolds area.

[@hernanhernandez3861]

You should definitely host a Superprestige cross race on the grounds. Having MvdP and WvA bang around the mud would increase property value!

[@MrGriff4256]

Congratulations on your wedding. Advice I like to give newlywed men; the best thing you can do for your children, is to love their mother. Looking forward to how the manor looks in the summer.

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

The same advice applies to the ladies as well: the best thing you can do for your children is to love their father. The best thing for your marriage is to love your husband.

[@annsofisjreen5619]

Hope you had the most beautiful wedding, and are going to have a long and happy life together ❤️❤️

[@brianlang7061]

I’m in the USA , enjoying the videos, wishing you two all the best

[@D2traveller]

Ah, the manor and the bike… it’s a pleasure to see the parts of your life together… congratulations on your marriage… thanks for sharing

[@andrebaron1387]

I love the video James, I appreciate you bringing your other passions into this video, and being able to be the you we know from GCN. Congrats to you and Emma.

[@bethwhite2857]

What a great property, your blessed. And a cafe ...the best part ❤🎉 Sweep out the bunker.. could rent it b n b too 😂

[@333wheeler]

The average person being landed with all this land and history might be overwhelmed by the scary scale of it. Good job Hank is one of those ready to rise to any and anything life throws at him .

[@matthewthompson6402]

I cycled over last Sunday and enjoyed a great flat white and a fabulous slice of flapjack (OK, I admit it, I actually had 2 slices!) Also bumped into Olly who was there with some chaps from Bath. All the very best wishes to you & Emma for your wedding tomorrow & have a very Happy Christmas!

[@johnkempton4611]

What a super couple -i do wish you both good luck and happiness in your life together

Ah, I've really waited for cycling content! What a great idea to have CX or gravelrides/-races at this amazing place, I would like to join (or just for (working) holidays). Emma and Hank, all the best for your future life and love together, congratulations! 🎉 Merry Christmas and a joyful and healthy New Year. 🎄

[@lucyphillips4404]

Congrats to you both and hope the wedding was lovely! Also, impressive bike handling!

[@josiedinsmore]

What an amazing and interesting life you have Hank! Riding your bike around your beautiful manor grounds, and inside the manor too lol! Your neighbours are the King of England and Princess Anne! Out for a ride before this video on a penny farthing! And a stop at your own cafe! Love it! Wishing you and Emma all the best! Congratulations on your wedding!

[@hedleykerr3564]

Congrats on your marriage tomorrow! Looking forward to lots more videos from the estate!

[@ross88mac]

Awesome you did the tour on the bike!

[@MarianVC57]

All the best folks!! A lot of love and prosperity for the new family that is born today!

[@jennycampbell5236]

Married 46 years. Not always a bed of roses but we always say " who else would have us ! " Wishing you both all the very best for your marriage and also Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

[@6crazycats]

🎉congratulations! Hope the wedding is wonderful and that you have a happy life together. ❤

[@brianmagee5847]

Congratulations! Love to see that you have space for rewilding! It might be a cool collaboration to have a naturalist come out to help with thinning out your invasives and planting some more native trees in your woods.

[@glstone1966]

Cycling and our great history ,,,,, my favourite things all together in one video 😊

[@1028dianemarie]

I would definitely do an archaeological dig at the icehouse and the World War II bunker. And best wishes for your wedding. 💐💐

[@richardgill9484]

How freaky, I visited that church for the very first time last Thursday while they were preparing for the Christmas music night the following evening. What an incredible setting for a wedding! I just hope it's dry for you and the paving isn't like a skating rink. I'm thoroughly enjoying these videos and bravo for getting the bike out in this one. Here's wishing you both many happy returns.

[@MrEver73]

Love the estate and how you share it. Keeping up a family home like this is one of the most beautiful things someone can do.

[@sandicoppins]

Fantastic, energy filled, fun fueled episode ❤ Also... Sending best wishes for a very wonderful day tomorrow ❤❤❤

[@jmausa6688]

Such an interesting video! Thank you for the ground tour and best wishes for you both on your wedding tomorrow! 😃

[@joseepaquin6855]

Congratulations on your wedding day, I wish a happy life of love, health, joy and peace 🎉🎉🎉

[@nka480]

OMG, watching this episode brought memories of riding a bike on a dirt path going through the pasture field and the feeling when all the bones and your jaw rattles when you go downhill! So much fun! Congratulations on your wedding!

[@SpanishEclectic]

So, how many times did your Grannie tell you, "No bicycles in the house!". LOL. This is the sort of tour that might have been conducted on horseback, but you are you, and don't shy away from the wet and muck. Good humor, and amazing neighbors. His Majesty can probably recommend someone great to help with your formal gardens when you are ready. A really interesting collection of historical locations, which will be fun to revisit in future videos. I'm sure Emma is happy you didn't wipe out the day before your wedding, with a black eye or such documented in the photos. Cheers, and congratulations!

[@daveansell2418]

Cycling + camping festival, fun cross races, grass track, a few road sportives use the cafe as a centre point. Some music and real ale too!

[@peterthomas8053]

Great video. When you hinted at being 'sandwiched between royalty'. 🤔 I thought. 'Oh, they've got Dan Lloyd and King Kelly living either side of them'.🤴👸🤪😉

[@stevenmanns248]

I hope everything goes to plan and you have good weather and a gr8 day. Good luck 👍💞

[@baylaschauer3122]

As a horse person I was shocked and dismayed that you did not introduce us to the horses! Just kidding! Wishing you much happiness tomorrow and always on your wedding day! Emma is going to be a beautiful bride!

[@arisantos7022]

Me too😢😂

[@cuttwice3905]

Woolen trousers are able to shed water and stay warm when wet. I know they are out of fashion but they are practical in winter. Mazel Tov!

[@triplet3023]

I do very much enjoy your videos. You are both so down to earth and it feels like we are right there with you, exploring those fields and that wonderful home you are creating together. I cannot wait to see your beautiful wedding photos :) 😊

[@mamig3216]

Happy wedding! Italian barn as an airbnb or cool wood fire pizza lunch spot. You could also rent the hangar to a few selected flight aficionados, and if you don’t have them already get some horses for horseback riding weekend stay tours. Visitors could sleep at the estate or in the outbuildings.

[@bmdonlin]

Congratulations on your wedding!! And that WW2 bunker may make another nice Air B&B...

[@sandrasuszek4798]

Can hardly wait for clips of the wedding. Congratulations, and keep the videos coming!

[@tropicalmom2468]

I love learning about the history and vast land around the estate. You just need to post more often.

[@aloonatic8594]

Congratulations on your wedding, Wishing you both many years of bliss and adventures together xxx

[@TimothyHarrisonHarry]

I learnt to land aircraft at Chavenage in the day. I remember the strip being short and bounded by trees, making it challenging! My instructor said if you could land at Chavenage you can land anywhere!

[@saadiathomson6881]

Great filming! I must pop into the cafe in the new year ☕🍰 Congratulations for tomorrow, have a great day 🍾

[@JaneHealy1972]

When you said you were getting married tomorrow I was like "sheesh don't fall of your bike and break something, or crap don't fall into those brambles and get all scratched up." your bride wouldn't be too happy with you lol 😆😅 Crongratulations on your wedding, you make a great team. 😍

[@J.S.A.]

Congratulations to you both! Have an incredible day, there’s nothing quite like it. Take time out for both of you during the day.

[@Wishingcountryliving]

Congratulations to you both for Saturday 🎉 wishing you as much happiness and friendship that myself and hubby have had for the past 28 years ❤

Really glad you're doing this Hank. Its fascinating and entertaining and I'm sure that growing your following will help secure the future of the estate.

*Thanks for the awesome tour via pushbike... 🙂 Fancy living right smack in the middle between the Princess Royal Princess Anne and King Charles III homes 🙂nz*

[@andreroodt4647]

I look forward to seeing Chavenage House become the Goodwood of Cyclocross.

[@carolynpredmore5153]

Congratulations on your wedding. I do think that most of your buildings could be turned into holiday lets of differing sizes. The barn could be a large 6 or 7 bedroom house for family reunions or Christmas holidays, while smaller buildings would house smaller groups. Another choice would be to make it an event space on the ground floor and an apartment above.

[@leeroof5882]

Best wishes to your lovely bride and to you! Thanks for the excellent and entertaining videos. You guys are so fortunate to have such a fantastic family history and the dedication to keeping it going. Good luck.

[@marshallsonmotorsltd2101]

Great insight into the whole estate, 1900 acres is one hell of an undertaking 👏👏

[@pianofigured]

Thank you for inviting us into your world, this is such a great video James. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I am looking forward to the next episode. Would love to bring my trail bike over to the Cotswolds next year!

[@jvogel431]

All the best for you and Emma on your big day! You have a wonderful life ahead.

Congratulations on your wedding. My son is getting married in that church next year; it’s a beautiful place (as is Chavenage).

[@andreaarterbury2485]

An unfarmed field? Time Team crossover? Love the Cyclocross idea!! Congratulations on your nuptials!

[@pano360]

These videos are brilliant! Riding in the house was completely bonkers (as was the GCN penny farthing adventure); loved every moment of it! Looks like you have great neighbors that won't be running amok or partying through the night as well. The history of your estate is fascinating (as Emma says, it's older than America, lol) and your wedding chapel is amazing. Looking forward to the next installment and footage from your wedding and reception! Cheers!

[@shirleynitka5030]

and they lived happily ever after!! All the best!! (boy is that the right neighborhood or what??

[@Benn321]

Many congratulations on your wedding! Have a lovely Christmas!

[@jeffhebert8963]

Love the idea of a cyclocross race on the estate.

[@alisonrittener5606]

Ideas for your Barn.... convert into an Antique store or Farm to Table restsurant and sell the produce you grow ...not sure if it's still going since I havent been able to visit for a few years, but there used to be a place called "The Organic Farm Shop" in the Cotswolds. You might be able to get some tips from them😊 Otherwise, it would make a fabulous Air B & B😃

[@KC-mp8sm]

Great video. The historic barn could be rented out to one of the many antiques businesses in Tetbury as storage for stock if you make it wind and waterproof. That way it brings in some money until you decide what to do with it. If you refurbish it completely you can turn it into a bike holiday/training centre- accommodation for groups + everything a group of bikers would need. You could organise multiple day stays with biking challenges etc.

[@MOSloan]

Oh, and yes to a gravel/cross race on your estate!

[@amyslowikgrossman835]

Congratulations on your wedding day! I hope everything goes smoothly and it’s everything you dreamed it would be.🎉

[@arweldavies2541]

Remember the cross race. Look forward the visiting the cafe.

[@AlisonAdventuring]

Watching these videos it is so cool to see your behind the scenes tour.. especially on the bike! It makes me wonder what all the other GCN folk do in their non presenting time, I don’t think I’ve noticed you talking about your manorial home there! So cool that you’re both enacting a new vision for such a historic place. That grain barn.. maybe you could make branded flour or convert it into another cafe/ bike repair and hire stop?!? Good luck with all the events.. and 9:46 if you’re both married by the time you see this CONGRATS you two lovely people 🎉
