Thanks mate. 😁

I've never been to Europe, but I'd really like to go someday. Those stone walls around the road and trails look quite charming!

[@TrailFinder]

The dry stone walls in the Yorkshire dales are beautiful

[@PunmasterSTP]

@@TrailFinder I have seen a lot of the show Fireman Sam, so the walls do seem a bit familiar!

[@ceriway380]

You pick a good day , not too wet , plus just about had it to yourself.

[@TrailFinder]

Cold start. But was like a summers day mid ride. Roll on summer

[@howardgaskin6117]

Did this one 1/6/24 very early morning, it's a very nice ride, thanks.

[@TrailFinder]

An upcoming video is a different version of this ride.

[@madmountainman5197]

I did my version of the Kettlewell Killer last summer and headed over from Kettlewell to Littondale, took in the climb from Litton up to Pen Y Ghent, down the big descent and up to Horton In Ribblesdale and Horton Moor, dropping back into the top of Littondale and then a final, horrible, climb out of Halton Gill and then the big descent to the pub in Hubberholme. I was wishing I was on E on that last climb, but a fair few pints and a big pie lunch left an easy spin back down to Kettlewell. I'd highly recommend that route if you want to see the area, but it's a bit of a doozie.

[@TrailFinder]

Sounds like a good route 😁

[@mauriceperry2165]

Scenery looks great. I've been saying it for too long, but I'll have to get up there this year.

[@TrailFinder]

well when you do come up, you have lots of rides to choose from

[@Thepoeticmtbr_The_poetic_mtbr]

Some cracking picturesque scenery on that route and waiting for rhe ramblers to pass with patience and reapect 👏 paid off with a good clean fast descent for the rest of that track. Another great vid 👌

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate 😁😁

[@alex_n8863]

Lovely, I feel a trip to the Dales on its way!

[@TrailFinder]

Get your self there mate

[@patbriggsmbr]

Your videos always make me smile. Thank you. 👍👏👏👏

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate, 😁😁

[@paulmarshall4403]

Good looking all-weather route that, thanks.

[@TrailFinder]

Yep, you could do this ride anytime of the year

[@gregorydobson4307]

Looks great, guess i will do it in week as i bet a lot of walkers on a weekend.😊

[@TrailFinder]

Rides are always better through the week. They just seem a lot more special than on a weekend. As you know most people are at work

[@howardgaskin6117]

Excellent video pal, one for me in the near future. Thanks

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate. I’m doing a longer version of it soon, so look out for that one as well

[@bovrilsarnie]

Looks like a decent route that.

[@TrailFinder]

Doing a similar ride soon. Same start point. But a longer version which will be better that this one

[@mitchwarren1600]

Wonderful as always

[@TrailFinder]

Cheers Mitch.

How are you finding the hans dampf

[@TrailFinder]

They were only on for this one ride, than took them off. The tyre it’s self is great ( tread pattern) very fast rolling. But these I have are super gravity and weigh 1.4kg each. Struggled on the climbs with them

[@davidgilligan4535]

@@TrailFinder quite heavy! What’s next?

[@TrailFinder]

@@davidgilligan4535 I always run Nobby Nic front and rear in super ground (860 grams) I had the dampt laying around and thought id test them just for this ride. but to heavy for climbs. Nobby nic's. you can't beat them .

[@davidgilligan4535]

@@TrailFinder 2.4 front 2.35 rear?

[@johnedmonds5664]

Can you give a map of the route?

[@TrailFinder]

Routes are always in the description.

[@EdStoter]

Is it possible to put on Strava

[@TrailFinder]

It is on Strava. But I forgot to start the garmin. So the route is not in my activities. You will have to go to my routes in Strava and get it there

[@EdStoter]

Cheers for that
