What a pleasant episode. The scenery is just amazing and i just love the little villages with houses built of stone. Great work you two 😊
Thanks Johan! The stone houses are beautiful -shame they don't build them like that anymore. Always glad to take you along 😊👍
Lovely laid-back ride through some stunning and iconic scenery. Beautifully filmed and edited as always. Looking forward to the next instalment 🙂
Thanks Gary, yeah this was a relaxing ride (although the next episode doesn't start off so relaxing lol). Really nice to hear you liked it and we are looking forwards to sharing teh next one. 😊
Another great episode guys. Loved the drone fly through on Ribbleshead viaduct!
Cheers Craig! Flying through the arches just had to be done 😊. Glad to hear you enjoyed it and thanks as usual for your comment 😎👍
Welcome to Yorkshire, wonderful motorcycle heaven, watched many of your travel vlogs, l love you're innocent commentry, even getting things wrong 😊.
Keep them coming, safe travels. 👌🏻😊😊👍🏻
Hi Gary, thanks. We had a great time riding through the dales. Thanks for watching, that's the thing with motorcycle vlogs we travel through so many places relatively quickly that it's impossible to get everything right without stopping and rehearsing what we will say - better to have the odd mistake and be natural than scripted. 😊. A few more videos for this playlist on the way and then some interesting projects afterwards. 😎👍
Outstanding video beautiful scenery ❤
Thanks very much Paul! Yeah this is a beautiful part of the English countryside 😊👍
Another great video guys, great roads again, and completely different landscape, I think a trip to England may have to be added to the growing list. Super footage and drone work as always!😄🤩
Thanks Tim! Yeah England has got some gems too and these roads are lots of fun to ride. Catch you in the next one 😎👍
@@SeanandEmily 😃😃 look forward to it
Love the Yorkshire dales great video guys
Yeah they are special indeed, love the colours of the scenery and the brickwork on the farms and walls 😊 Thanks!
I’ve just got a 1200gs and looking to do some uk tours. Seeing your vlogs shows areas I’m wanting to visit and is making me look forward to them even more so. Thanks
Hi, congratulations on the R1200! 😎🙌🏻
There’s so many fantastic places to discover in the UK and nearby a Ireland! Really nice to hear you are enjoying the Vlogs and we hope you find them useful for your tours! You nah have noticed already but in the comment section pinned to the top is a link to the Map route of each day.
Here’s the full playlist in case you need it:

@@SeanandEmily thank you
Interesting commentary very informative, in addition to the colorful landscapes and local villages! Well done!
Thanks very much Paul! 😎👍
Hi from Oz. I think that town you were driving through talking about cheese was actually Hawes. We recently spent 5 weeks driving around Ireland, Scotland and England and it is great for both of us revisiting so many places we drove through in your videos. You would love riding through our part of the world in the Southern Hemisphere be it Australia (especially Tassie) or the south island of New Zealand, both have classic bike routes. We took a 1250RT round the south island of NZ over three weeks and it was just to die for. Keep the great vids coming and thanks.
Hey! Cool that you are watching from Oz! Yeah you are right, our mistake -too many shops with Wensleydale written on them 🤣. Nice to hear this playlist has brought back some nice memories.
Actually OZ and NZ are in the Pipeline, not sure when but maybe 2026. The South island NZ trip must have been awesome! I (Sean) lived in NZ some time ago and it's about time Emily and I went together.
Some exciting new projects on the way 😎👍
Great scenery again and beautifull roads. Perfect motorcycle environment. And I love the drone shots. 😎👍
Hi Ruud, thanks as always 😊 This area is perfect for the bike with lots of different route options, as we were just passing through this time only really got to see a small part of the Yorkshire dales 😎👍
Great tour so far, watched all the episodes - Tetley tea for us
Thanks Tony! Really nice to hear you've watched them all 😊....in fairness Tetley ain't so bad either 😉
More of my local roads 😊 , for more info on the dry stone wall and the tendon behind them , look up the "enclosures act" very interesting, thanks for another great video 😊
Hey Sean, some nice local roads you have 😎👍🏻. Thanks will look that up for sure.
Thanks for watching and glad to hear you enjoyed the video 😊
Great to see another video of your adventure. I had thought that perhaps you had bombed on see family in Wales. Greetings to all from Glasgow.
Thanks, yeah heading to North Wales after the Peak District for a couple of days to briefly see family. Thanks for watching 😎👍
Hello Sean and Emily, beautiful shots of the Dales with perfect music❤❤ Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! We really enjoyed riding through the Dales -it’s a beautiful area for sure 😊. Thanks for you comment and great to hear you enjoyed the video!

Great video of the Yorkshire dales guys, now looking forward to the Peak district, drive safely guys!! All the best.🚴♀
Thanks Davie! Yorkshire Dales were just as beautiful as we remember them - so glad some things don't change 😊
Hi guys, very pretty journey, and amazing drone footage as usual. Yorkshire tea, since I lived in North Yorkshire for a few years. Nothing compares to it ❤
Hi Ruby, thanks for the comment and we are glad you enjoyed the video. What a lovely place to live surrounded by all that natural beauty!
Can't beat Yorkshire tea 😋 even though I'm from Weston-super-Mare now just love a strong cuppa
Yeah a proper brew 😉
Love your vids - the shots and editing are fantastic. And you finished off this one in my local supermarket in Skipton 👍👍
Thanks Simon! Great to hear you are enjoying the videos. Haha never have we appreciates a supermarket as much as that one -we were famished and still had to do the Peak District 🤣.
You do some long days, riding some of my favourite routes through the empty soft landscape of the Dales. Granite landscape in the Lakes but its limestone in the Pennines, it’s a great part of the world but very cold in Winter. Crossing between the different Dales there are some very steep narrow roads and wild empty moorland. The holes are ‘sinkholes’ formed by water finding weaknesses in the rock and gradually making an opening, I can remember my geography at school😉
PS. Love your description of ‘Wallace & Gromit’ in the village of Hawes, ‘cheeeeeese’. Very popular destination for bikers😀 Yorkshire Tea for ever!!!!
Yeah we do -well spotted 😊, when we travel so far to see places we want to make sure we see the most we can with the time we have (i think a lot of people don't realise that one day can be spread over 2-3 episodes 🤣).
Yeah it really is a nice part of the country, done some great hikes there when we lived in the UK. Ahhh is that what they are -glad someone was paying attention in geography class 😁. Em has converted to Yorkshire Tea since a while now 😂
Thank you.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
That is an amazing road ,as Emma said so remote but so close to the big city,
The work that went into the dry stone dykes is fantastic and to think it would have been hauled in on horse and cart and all by hand
Great ride along again thanks 👍
Tea today is Tetly I used Mathew Algies for a while which were. Very nice but expensive , I make my tea in a pot ,milk in the mug first lol
Hi, yeah it really is an amazing road, in fact the scenery in general in Yorkshire is beautiful and we are so glad that it hasn't changed. Yeah the work that went into those wally is amazing ...but they are still standing today so well worth it! Hahah well if you are using a teapot that's totally acceptable -in fact encouraged 😂
Thanks for watching
Sean and Emily 😊
That was nice, thank you.
Glad you liked it! A beautiful part of the country for sure 😊👍
fantastic video , nice to see you both in my playground 😁👍👍 where are you both from in the uk ? keep the videos flowing they are great and spurring me on to have a trip to the alps next year 😉
Hi Mark, we are originally from North Wales but have lived in Switzerland for many years now. Great to hear you are enjoying the videos and hopefully you make it to the Alps next year! -this year wasn't the best to visit the alps as the weather was a bi odd so hopefully next year will be better! 😎👍
@@SeanandEmily im watching your videos and deciding which route to take its a compicated set of roads but very interesting , its been a lifes goal to do this and eventually bought a new bike to do it for next year , ive had bikes all my life but now got one for load carrying too so roll on 2025 , your videos are amazing great scene settings and sensible factfull info , looking forward to more 👍👍
Congratulations on the new bike and we wish you all the best fulfilling your dreams! -always nice to hear people doing this 😊 Not sure if you noticed but in the comment section of each video (need to add it to the last couple) there is a link to the route of each day 👍
I’ve only just found your RUclips channel and really like your videos, without giving away to many secrets would you consider doing a behind the scene video on how you make these fantastic short films
Hi John, welcome to the channel! -nice to have you with us 😊 There's no big secret really just us two with a couple of cameras and a drone 😉 Currently trying to find the time to edit the travel videos but who knows if we have time in the future we might do one.
Hello guys. Another good vid. The town was Hawes by the way although it is home to the Wensleydale Creamery for fans of cheese.
Living in North Yorkshire I'm off course a huge fan of the whole area.
Hi, thanks very much. Ahh that was Hawes, home of Wensleydale -thanks. That's a lovely part of the country you live in, nice and remote yet also not so far form bigger cities if you need it.
Well, North Yorkshire is a very big county and I can't claim to live near Hawes, nearer to York. But I know the area very well.
Hawes was the village you were in and it was Ribblehead viaduct you went past 🙂
Thanks! It had been a while since we were last in the Yorkshire Dales -had forgotten how beautiful the area is 😊
Perjalanan yang menyenangkan
Thanks very much 😎👍🏻
Cracking road from Hawes to Ribblehead. One of the best 👍🏻
Hey Mike, yeah it really is a cracking ride. We had a great day touring the Yorkshire Dales!
Here's the rest of the UK/Ireland Tour Playlist 😎👍

It's ok to put milk in first if you make your tea in a tea pot, which always used to be the case before bags of course.
Are you two going to get a1300 GS at all? I saw the video of Sean at the BMW of road track. That was great.
Great video thanks. 😃👍
Totally agree with you there -our parents are avid Teapot users too 😊
It's certainly up for consideration -would like to test ride it first although we are sure it's going to be great! The off road training was so much fun and the bike performed fantastic!
Great to hear you enjoy the videos and thanks for your comment 😎👍
Buttertubs is so called because, as the story goes, farmers on their way to the market in Hawes used to rest there on hot days and would lower the butter they were taking to market into the potholes to keep cool.
Thanks for that!! Would be great if that was so …kind of makes sense 😊👍🏻
I’m so lucky I live in York and travel to the lakes via the dales who could want for more
Yeah what a great place to live with all that beautiful countryside on your doorstep!
In case you are interested in our whole UK tour here's the Playlist so far, links to the routes are in the comment section 😎👍
ruclips.net/p/PLl_mRzVHVQ0zUtFe7yIi6rO-2-k465D31&si=J05slFkj7_Dha9Eu
great ride guysi take it you were on A65
Yeah but only for the last part as we headed towards the Peak District 👍🏻
If you want to see some amazing routes it can be great to head off from the a roads. Mind you in Yorkshire you really have to be careful about fuel. Very limited number of petrol stations and they often have very short opening hours.
Enjoy your ride.
The town you referred to as wenslydale is actually Hawes👌
Thanks Steven, think there were more signs and shop names using Wensleydale that caused the confusion lol
who takes these terrific drone shots while both of you are on the bike?
Emily does 😉 She flys the drone from the pillion seat as we ride along.
@@SeanandEmily that's brilliant , i wondered how you did it, or had another motorcyclist with you doing the drone stuff
Hehe no support team for us 😉 Not sure how Em managed to keep it so steady whilst pillioning up the Hardknott 😊
beautiful views looks not to bumpy lol
Yeah views were spectacular and you’re right not bumpy this time 😁 a fantastic motorcycle road! 😎👍🏻
What a strange way to make tea 😳 teabag first then milk then water 😃
No no no no - tea needs to infuse in the hot water first 😉😆
@@SeanandEmily nonsense 🙄😂
unsubscribed lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SeanandEmily 😢
@tonywhitby6881 🫖😊
I learn for Yorkshire dales from a tv series. Very rough place (Amanda and Clive Owen ❤
Ah yes the Farm series 👍🏻 it’s a lovely part of the UK 😊
Rough, don’t say that to a Yorkshireman🤣.
I think he meant raw 😉
@@SeanandEmilymaybe tough
You are in Hawes which is in Wensleydale :)
Thanks 👍🏻 realised that afterwards 😁
@@SeanandEmily Hope you enjoy/ed Peak districk. Yonderman cafe is good.
Yeah we did although we got there a lot later than planned (episode out on Saturday) 😊 thanks
Hello guys the hole in the floor is buttertubbs
Thanks! guess that's where the pass gets it's name from 😎👍
following you on goolie maps wow lots of roads to travel on
Not got around to it yet but will add the link to the route in the comments section like the other episodes 👍🏻
Yorkshire dales = Gods Own Country
And for good reasons 😊👍🏻

Hello to both of you. I have been watching your Chanel for the last 6 Months and must say that I love your content. Your vidéos and attention to détails are superbe,your drone vidéos are breathtaking 😮 I followed you 2 all around the UK and must say every place you went was more beautiful then the last. That was unexpexted. You do the kind of roads i love to do,small twisty roads in the montains and along riveres and lacs. Beeing from Québec Canada i only been to Europe once in Corsica but comming back next year to do the french and Italian alps and also Tuscany. Cant wait to be back and thanks for all your vidéos that keeps me dreaming of my next adventure 😊
Hi Joe, we nearly missed your comment. Thanks you so much for your kind words of encouragement, it's so nice to hear that you enjoy teh videos so much 😊. Corsica was a great choice of place to visit! We went there earlier this year and we were blown away by the island. We hope you have a great trip next year!
Sean mate you load your bike with so much language. Are you aware GS and other bikes suspension was designed to 80kg rider (inc clothing, language and passenger). Did you think about upgrading your suspension with Touratech to your configuration. I believe you already pre-ordered 1300 GSA anyway so maybe its good to think about it for upcoming motorcycle. Greetings Tomasz
Hey Tomasz. the max payload for the R1300 GSA is 217kg. Our full luggage that we took to Norway including the actual Alu panniers and the camping equipment for two people (which we have further reduced) as well as a laptop and media equipment came to 47kg. Which leaves us well under the max permitted (which I'm guessing is conservative value from BMW) . Although it's funny that you mention the Touratech suspension as we were discussing this last weekend with a professional enduro racer. 😎👍
@SeanandEmily it's looks like you are in good hands then. I am thinking of swapping my 1250 GSA to Yamaha T7. Same time studying the suspension topic. We'll I am riding 99% solo and doing as much as possible off-road. I was just thinking about you guys riding fully loaded and how to improve your comfort and handling of the bike. 😊
T7 is ideal for single riding, with 2 it's quickly at the weight limit with a tiny bit of luggage. Heard these are awesome though ...maybe the world raid is a good option. The guy we were talking to has the raid with the Touratech Suspension and he loves it!
@SeanandEmily Did you talked to Adam?
Who’s Adam?
Skipton to Carlisle on a steam train across ribblehead viaduct
That would be a great experience!! 😎👍
👍👍👍 🏍️
Thanks 😎👍🏻
english breakfast for me and king cole even tho tea has more caffine in it
Not tried that one, we are Yorkshire Tea loyalists 🤣 🫖
we drink coffee like yall drink tea here in america. tea here in america is sweet with sugar or non sweat. thats mostly it.
It's interesting the how different cultures drink different things. When I was in the states I was surprised by the amount of different coffee's to choose from (dripped) whereas in Europe coffee is mostly just a shot of Espresso.
@@SeanandEmily haha , yall probably cridged at tea drinkers here then. love yalls videos. could yall do a little mention of the fitting of yalls helmets. sizing, etc,,,,,
good job we like coffee too 😉
We did a prep video at the start of this playlist :
ruclips.net/video/HBi9llMO_zs/видео.htmlsi=xWAJGiuBefkaPH4t
The town you think is called Wensleydale is in fact Hawes.
Yes you are right
@@SeanandEmilyNo bother, just trying to help.😊😊
What gear do u where on the bike ?
We are wearing Touratech gear, this suit we show in detail in the first episode of the playlist:
