Visiting a LUXURY hotel on my R1200GS with my little sister!

Howdy Folks,
I hope you guys and girls are good!!
Bit of a random vlog for you today! My little sister Hannah works as a content editor for a magazine which means her role involves reviewing hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, bars etc so she can write about them!
Most of her visits to these epic places are usually in London or abroad (it's a hard life eh!) however she had a hotel to review in the biking hotspot that is Kirkby Lonsdale!
She kindly asked if while she was up here, I wanted to be her plus one so of course I jumped at the chance.
Whilst I was there, I figured I'd vlog it and show you all the fancy food I got to eat muhahaha.
Anyway, if you watch until the end, thank you for tuning in and I hope you enjoyed it!

Total respect to you for honouring your parents request regarding taking your sister on the back of a bike....... Mark of a true and honest person..... Keep up the good work......

[@UsernameKate]

Can't go back on a promise! And thanks Peter 😊

[@duncanblanchard334]

You know it’s a posh house when there’s no beans with you brekkie 😁😁.

[@jameshutchins3396]

As someone else mentioned, thank you for taking us along. I have never been to England (my dad was during WWII) but love watching old episodes of escape to the country just for an idea of what I am missing. So for some of us you are presenting more than you realize. Much more than just bikes. Thank you

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks James! Really appreciate your message. Reminds you what you can sometimes accidentally take for granted.

[@Boxer1250RT]

Your Sister should be around more often. She is a Natural Star :) Teach her how to ride (if she is not already a rider) and travel together.

[@Mieke3133]

Lucky you - getting a free night away in a hotel. Kirby Longsdale is in a superb part of the countryside for motorcycling. I have to say though, the food was rather too much Nouvelle Cuisine and foam for my liking. Give me a nice juicy Abrdeen Angus steak with all the trimmings any day. 😋

[@bikerbaz60]

Cracking video Kate really enjoyable, your mum and dad must really proud of you both, well done and ride safe.

[@UsernameKate]

Oh thanks Baz! I like to think they are 😊❤

[@Robert8455]

Love it... beautiful destination. Odd looking fancy food but interesting. Love the countryside ride despite the conditions.

Thanks for inviting us along. Not sure about the food, too much seafood & mushrooms. But I love watching your channel Kate, its so much better than TV x

What a nice ride and a very posh venue.

[@56Spookdog]

With all that epicurean delight I can’t believe there weren’t a few delicate scoops of slow churned frozen heaven for the scream Queen. Your sister and yourself look quite smart for dinner and hope there’s a few more travel vlogs together in the future. Kate were riding with the transitional visor, I bit the bullet and bought one not sure that I like though it doesn’t really get all that dark even in the Californian sun.

[@UsernameKate]

I know! I needed some ice that wasn't off! Haha Hannah is lovely, the best sis ever! Yeah I believe transitional visors even when dark are quite light :(

Thanks for taking me along for a ride in your wonderful country (I'm in the USA), very scenic! It's great to spend time with family! :-)

[@BibtheBoulder]

Excellent, and the basis I feel for an occasional series (a bit like TMF's "Biker scran with someone and Dan"....

[@UsernameKate]

We have another booked in Grasmere so might have another on the cards but not a GS this time!

[@BibtheBoulder]

@@UsernameKate Just a thought....how about an occasional series where you 'meet the rider'...(obviously you'll need to make sure you're safe etc) but you could meet up and do a real world interview with an owner of a specific machine, chat about it, possibly ride it etc. I reckon there could be mileage in a series like this. I have noticed that on those occasions TMF delves into the world of older bikes (not many can afford a new bike) he does get a lot of views...

[@markjosephbudgieridgard]

Ahh UNK what a great lille vlog so enjoyable 2 English roses in beautiful surroundings the hotel was just wonderful. You and your lille sis are so alike.. Sweet stuff unk 👍❤️

Thank you so much 😊

Loved the destination ride ! As a potter I can tell you all the plates and bowls were hand thrown and had some wonderful high temperature studio potter's glazes ..Really very posh ..I liked the look of your breakfast ....I hope you get the chance to see Castlerigg above Windermere some ride .It is like going to visit the set of "Close Encounters of the third kind".That stone circle looks like the perfect spot for some space ship to land :)

That was a great 👍 upload Kate, sisters doing it for themselves, looks like you both had a good time. It’s a stunning place, only one comment, the portion sizes, reminds me of the 80’s when you where more hungry after you left the restaurant 🤣🤣🤣. A change to you uploads gives your channel variety 👍👍from me

Yay glad you enjoyed! 😊

Manchester tart was lovely!

Great video Kate. 👍

Thanks Andy!

[@firbyd]

This is a favorite! Funny how you thought it would be a "flop".. xD But one reason (of the many I could give) was the respect and love of family.. Once my family coming back from South America, one child rode with one parent and the other with the other, on the plane back, jic.. You have such great candor, you never cease to amaze.! Best always, D. TCRS.. You rock!

[@lorentzinvariant7348]

I am not lying. I jumped when your sister pranked you LOL. Definitely need to teach her to ride. Life is just too short not too. There is nothing like getting lost on two wheels.

[@UsernameKate]

Haha she would like to have the skills to ride a bike, even if she didn't ever own one. Maybe that's another video... hopefully mum doesn't read this!

[@lorentzinvariant7348]

I was thinking you two could go out on a couple of Honda Groms. Don’t know if they have those in the UK. I’m sure you could do it in a way your mother would never find out. Lol username dad might get a laugh though.

[@8610sarge]

Really enjoyed that Kate, i wouldn't know if I'd frame it or eat it, the meal looked great, you just know its going to be expensive when you've got foam on yer grub 👍, little sis did a great job as well, you look like twins, and the only way to eat black pudding is with loads of brown sauce, lovely jubly.

[@UsernameKate]

Haha foam on the grub is a bit scary lol! Hannah is ace, maybe I should go brunette lol

[@kdsowen2882]

Great to see how things are in another Country (my Dad came from England , his parents flipped-out when he bought a Vincent Rapide ! ) . Nearly finished Autumn down here (NZ) it's still crazy-hot some days/nights , never seen it quite like this before. Great for riding though . As others have said , it's interesting when you mix-it-up a little with normal-life Adventures with Hannah . The little bits of subtle humour from both of you are great . Dave NZ

Great film again and nice introduction to your sister. Roads look good up there, so the badger will have to come and have a look. Now the food!

The passport rules have not changed. But we left the EU so became a '3rd country' and the benefits of EU membership were lost. The international rules for passports is that they have to have at least 6 months validity and that has always been the case outside the EU (going from UK to Australia, for instance), but within the EU we had an agreement among members not to apply that to each other. So when we left the EU we disqualified ourselves from that. So we did it to ourselves by leaving. Yet another little gift of brexit.
