Great route. Did this back in 1992 and again last Tuesday. Didn't do the descent down Arten Gill but carried on round using the PBW which missed the road climb out of Deepdale under Denthead viaduct.

[@SJ.8103]

Just saved this route to do, can’t wait

[@neilbower123]

Did this route yesterday on my non e-MTB in about 8 " snow on tops. Loved it, Thanks for the upload

[@ROAD658]

Do that most years before 3 Peaks X race but other way round , start from Bainbridge then go down to Austwick from Ribblehead and back to Cam Road via Helwith Bridge on X bike , its a bloody monster !! Good like !

[@owenjohn1192]

Did this last Saturday! , it was hard work coming up to 53 and really unfit , pushing an e bike up those bloody steps on the way to Whernside nearly killed me.

[@TrailFinder]

I’m only 5 years behind you 😁. Fitness is only borrowed. Once you get it back biking becomes a pleasure.

[@kamucho]

That decent with the viaduct In the background was 👌👌👌👌

[@TrailFinder]

kamucho prob one of my favourite natural descents. Steeper than it looks. Great fun to ride

[@AngusNewmanMTB]

love watching through your videos at the min me and my grandad go up there whenever we can train spotting and now ive just got a new bike i can ride up there in the summer. Its awesome to see all the places i can recognize as well. Keep it up!

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks Angus 😁

[@craigyoungs9844]

I did this ride with a mate and it was brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

[@TrailFinder]

It’s one of my favs

[@markstorer7204]

Very unlucky to get 2 flats at the same time....great video, beautiful views 🤙

[@TAZMON20]

Dynaplug, used it 5 months ago, still holding strong! Always top content, love it!

[@TrailFinder]

GAVIN LEIGHTON thanks mate 👊

[@MrCarlpenny]

Big thanks for sharing the GPX files Andy, did this on Saturday, cracking ride and great battery test for the 540W, used quite a bit of boost for the climbs as my fitness needs improvement but got back on 1 bar, loving your rides and always grateful for your time and effort into putting this videos together 🙂

[@TrailFinder]

Hi Carl. Thanks for the great comment. Glad you enjoyed this one. It’s a fav of mine. Those 2 long descents are amazing.

[@MrCarlpenny]

@@TrailFinder Now my tyre pressures are sorted I am beginning to properly enjoy these more technical descents, yea the first one was great fun 🙂

[@TrailFinder]

@@MrCarlpenny softer you can get them the better. I’ve just upgraded mine to 2.6 x 29 allowing me to run even lower pressures. (15F 18R) transformed the bike in all areas.

[@MrCarlpenny]

@@TrailFinder Yea that's deffo something I will be playing with when I go tubeless, still on tubes atm but just buying gear slowly, pedals and saddle next month.

[@methpipetim]

“Certainly a great place to get a mechanical” 😂 these videos are great man Can really tell that you love what you do! 👌

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks. I love it. It’s great fun

[@Alexx93]

Looked a fantastic ride! Unlucky with the puncture though! And then to discover a 2nd one, I bet you couldn't believe it hahaa!

[@TrailFinder]

ImAlexx it’s a great little ride. And yes I couldn’t believe it. I just didn’t notice the front 😂. But luckily it had sealed so only had to pump it up

[@beardedvikingmtber]

I feel your pain with the puncture, I got one coming out of hardcastle crag in hebden at the weekend. I’d come over the tops from Burnley to Hebden Bridge luckily the local bike shop sorted it for me I was to knackered to wip the wheel off & do it myself.

[@TrailFinder]

badlydrawn1000 the next 3 rides after this one I got punchers. Had so much bad luck. But now I’m used to using those tyre plugs I don’t mess around anymore. I put one in and continue straight away

[@XIXjlo]

Love it

[@LukeMegBiking]

Brilliant video, and WOW, that scenery :-O

[@TrailFinder]

One of my favourite rides is this. 😁

[@5492sparky]

That does look like a great ride Mate. Two punctures at the same time is a first for me!

[@TrailFinder]

I know Mark. Same bloody rock. Unbelievable 😂 and yes. Great ride this. Made all the better by the amazing weather 👍

[@maudsy2227]

love the videos man

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks. 😁

[@ivanboyes9773]

Just got back in from doing this ride today, great route despite it being a bit wet and windy 😀

[@TrailFinder]

One of my favs. Glad you enjoyed it ,despite the weather

[@Seanjames570]

Looks a great ride might try this at weekend, keep up the great vids 👍🏼

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks Sean. I appreciate the kind words. It’s a good ride. The 2 descents are very long. The second one down to the bridge is a belter. Enjoy if you do it. And let me know what you think of it 👊

[@TheWeardale1]

looks an amazing route..! shame about the punctures...got a tubeless setup myself, but fortunately no punctures as such, but will need some more sealant come the spring when I'll be doing some long rides again..

[@TrailFinder]

Not had a puncher since mid 2019 since switching to schwalbe. With Maxxis I had flats every ride

[@TheWeardale1]

@@TrailFinder thanks, will avoid that brand then...

[@1kennethsg]

Great looking ride

[@TrailFinder]

One of my favourites

[@RCFunEveryday]

This looked super fun, I am used to riding my motorbikes along the roads near here, mostly from Hawes or Ingleton. I wonder if there is a route back to Brough along here which is where I live.

[@TrailFinder]

One of my fav rides

[@RCFunEveryday]

@@TrailFinder this is definitely going to be high on the list for me.

[@patrickbriggs1182]

Always deserve a Burger King. Made me laugh. 😂👍🏻

[@TrailFinder]

Bad thing is Patrick. I use any excuse to reward myself with a Burger King. 😂

[@paulannable3734]

Another one for whenever it eventually is when the new ebike shows up. Won’t be going as fast downhill as you though.

[@WhiteRoseAdventures]

Looks like a fantastic ride, I will be walking round there next month raising money for UWFRA :D

[@TrailFinder]

White Rose Adventures good on you mate. Are you doing the fill 3 peaks?

[@swilson94]

I don't use Strava but I'm contemplating paying the fee just to download some of your MTB routes 😂 some absolute corkers

[@TrailFinder]

Hi Sam. I also do Kamoot. It’s free to get the files!! Give it a try 1st

[@frankg_0582]

Great video dude. Amazing riding. What camera do u use on these rides? Seems very good quality

[@TrailFinder]

MTB Central thanks mate. I use the go pro hero 7.

[@Lakedistrictrider]

Two of the better Dales descents them. I lkke the one off Whernside into Deepdale. Got to look out for the loose stuff lower down though hey! You were tearing down Arten Gill pal, shape about the double flat. Looks like you had some finger damage too.

[@TrailFinder]

Lakedistrictrider yeah the 2 descents on this ride are amazing. The second is my fav. Sliced my finger cutting the tyre plugs. Blood everywhere 😩

[@Lakedistrictrider]

@@TrailFinder ha, I need to get round to tubeless someone. One day!

[@iqbalpatel4208]

The way you were bombing down those descents, im surprised you didnt get a puncture earlier!

[@TrailFinder]

iqbal patel especially that 1st main descent. Was very rough was that one.

[@iqbalpatel4208]

@@TrailFinder nice one, keep shredding

[@Fishter1]

Looks awesome! I’m looking to get out with a mate on Saturday, any routes you’d recommend for a couple of relatively novice bikers wanting to get out into the countryside? We’re based near Skipton so can travel to all the sort of areas you ride 👍 Thanks

[@TrailFinder]

possibly the grassington ride I did. It’s a manageable distance. Climbs not to bad and some good descents. Also not far from skipton

[@Fishter1]

@@TrailFinder we opted for the Nidderdale Classic having seen your video and having done part of it before on my motorbike... We extended it slightly as we did the loop around Scarhouse too. It was tough but really enjoyed it and the weather was perfect! Thanks for your suggestion, I reckon we’ll try that one soon 👍

[@johnf3326]

Great vid and channel. Be great to download the gpx file. Strava won't allow unless you subscribe as a paid user.

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks John 😁

Walkers AKA "red socks" 😂 A plague lol

[@xtrmonkey9421]

Do you know if you can still access this & were the starting point is? I would love to try this! I went to gisburn ! Enjoyed it after watching your vid 3 times! 🤘🏻

[@TrailFinder]

Yes it’s all public bridal way. I’ve links in description for this route. I always start the rides from where I park the van

[@funkydisciple]

How often do you get punctures Andy when you’re out on the trails? It’s not something you’re doing every ride is it...repairing holes in the tyre(s)

[@funkydisciple]

Jsut finished watching the rest of the video...nice to know it doesn’t happen all the time :)

[@TrailFinder]

It started happening every ride until I bought good tyres. You get what you pay for 😁

[@bartekhudini5522]

these offroads are private or public in uk?

[@1808L-r1g]

Public

[@paulfitzgerald887]

I’m heading here Saturday. Is there any decent parking ?

[@TrailFinder]

Yes all along the side of the road. Get there early. It’s a popular location.

[@overthehill1986]

hi andy have you got a kamoot or garmin route for this ride dont do strava looks a good 1
