[@davidb150]

Salut les amis ,c'est vraiment génial votre voyage,je regarde pour faire également le TET en Angleterre pour découvrir votre pays mais aussi votre langue!!J'ai hâte d'y être!!! Merci David

Thoroughly absorbing. I can't wait for the next part. It's been well over 20 years since I've ridden a trail bike (used to have a KMX 125) and this video is making me miss it. Also, I've been living in the USA since 2001, and it's nice to see footage from some of Britain's wonderful green lanes. Thank you for bringing us all this great content.

Simon Jessey Thank you for the kind comment I really appreciate it 😁

[@Vimptocandle]

You know your up for a wild laugh for the week when your mate turns up and says “well hello” 🤓

[@TheMcNeillsonWheels]

Looks like you guys had a blast. We’re considering doing the Newcastle to North Wales section in the spring.

[@thesurreyrider3396]

The McNeills on Wheels Sounds great! The North East section looks great, have a good one! 😁

[@tommysbk2919]

Great video! I can’t wait to get my backpack on with a tent and do this trail! I’ll be starting from Newcastle!

[@thesurreyrider3396]

Thanks mate 😁 I’d love to go out and do more of the TET, the northeast section looks great, you’re in for a treat 👍👍

[@SteveInskip]

Great vid and a nice bit of single track once you’d conquered the first obstacle of the supermarket bollards and the lass with the shopping trolley! 😉. 100 miles a day wasn’t bad at all considering some of those lanes! 👍

[@BigPezza]

BIRLLIANT stuff nice adventure !

[@thesurreyrider3396]

Big_Pezza cheers mate 😁👍

[@allsearpw3829]

I thought you were camping on route with all your gear on the bike ,awaiting to see if you go across Salisbury plane . Keep it up and thanks for the video .

[@HippoDrones]

What an awesome trip, your confidence has come on loads mate, well done! :-)

[@thesurreyrider3396]

Thanks! 😁 I obviously have tons left to learn but starting to feel a bit more comfortable on the dirt. Hopefully we can go for a ride sometime soon!

[@HippoDrones]

@@thesurreyrider3396 That'd be cool mate

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Adventurous tracks. Even more so in rainy conditions. You both did very well with your small bikes. I wanted to try TET UK with my Transalp 600, but seeing your trip I'd rather take my Beta Alp 200 - half the weight of the Honda. Little luggage capacity, though. I need B&Bs open again. Cheers from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter

[@thesurreyrider3396]

Thanks 😊 The lighter the bike the better for me. Particularly as I like to drop it a lot! Hopefully the time for more adventures comes soon! Cheers 🍻

[@mrpulloo]

Enjoying the footage and including the rookie cheap ebay equipment purchases! Guilty of that too. Lesson learned

[@sammni]

Love the video buddy.

[@thesurreyrider3396]

Thanks I do appreciate it 😁👍

[@Davidlouis3]

Great video lads , what Tyre’s you got on CRF, going to start some easy lanes when I get my CRF 300 next week?

[@philsouthgate2998]

Hi , where can i find these tracks , are they on a map , or book etc Cheers phil

[@fenner-g6088]

Great video , looking forward to the next instalment. I should have been doing the GWT on my T7 a couple of months ago ... but bloody Covid stopped us !

[@thesurreyrider3396]

FENNER-G Thanks! Well I think you best get out there and give it a go! 😁

[@stephenmurphy5204]

Could have done the sand then right at the bottom of Sandy Lane. On to two byways one with a river splash on it. South of Alice Holt byway which I believe is TRO now. Never liked it anyway so slippery and full of glaring families. Good ride Good fun Good luck👍

[@elliottwood3993]

Great vid! May I ask what app you were using to track the routes?

[@MShoaibJaved-i6d]

What navigation system you used to stay on course ?

[@d.p.8483]

great stuff

[@thesurreyrider3396]

D. P. Thanks mate I appreciate it 😁

[@PaulUrmston]

Hey. Nice vid. Quick question. What bags are you using on the crf? They look like they for perfectly. Can't see the brand in the video

[@thesurreyrider3396]

Thanks mate! They are cheap XL-Moto soft saddlebags with roll bag. Take a look their site I think they still sell it. A good and cheap choice!

[@PaulUrmston]

@@thesurreyrider3396 cheers, I'll check them out. Keep up the videos!!

[@shaunbarclay1309]

Was the CRF running stock gearing? I run 13/42 for the local trails here but it sucks for long distance and I stay in Scotland and really wanna do this.

[@thesurreyrider3396]

I think I had 13/42 too. Agreed it’s not great for long distance but fortunately we didn’t need to do too much road work

[@rickc6726]

Wow, thanks for sharing! That looks awesome...I never even knew it existed. Is it all legal lane riding? Cheers 👍

[@thesurreyrider3396]

Thanks 😊 Yup all legal byways!

[@Rich.Wilkin]

I'd love to do this on my Wr but not sure the ol girl has it in her these days. Enjoyed the video not sure what size your bike is sounds a like a 125 or 250 only thing I'd advise is using your gears a little more let it rev a little as it sounds like it's struggling all the time. Onto pt2

[@MrLesliedyke]

Great video, but why did you cut out all the bummings?

[@nemo6686]

16:37 Sign says CYCLISTS MUST DISMOUNT COVID 19 Can't see the association myself.

[@thesurreyrider3396]

Hahah me neither. I haven’t ridden a bicycle in years and thankfully have been COVID-free so far, there must be a correlation!
