Juliet, I use a similar frame bag setup. I use one of those retractable badge holders to attach my hydration hose to my front loader, so I can just pull the bite valve up to my mouth and then it snaps back into place. Works great!
Very enjoyable video! Can confirm that The Castle in Lydford is indeed a very nice pub. There's also some great wild swimming on the Lyd just a bit further up the moor from where you parked.
It's great when mini adventures are about quality rather than quantity, riding alone for hours or days I do quite a lot so when I can coax my daughters and son to ride along, it doesn't matter about Strava or doing big mileage, it's the time that we spend together in the moment.
Lol, the last thing I’d expect when camping in a remote place would be a line of soldiers walking right past me first thing in the morning to go and stand in the bathing spot. 😂 What a fantastic trip overall!
That looked awesome. Watching your videos has really put Devon on my cycling to-do list. And those pasties look epic! My first stop when I visit Cornwall is always a pasty shop. It’s worth the trip from Notts alone! 😋
Entertaining as always! It’s nice that you’re still able to ride in a T-shirt. My wife and I are gravel riding in central British Columbia and we’re already riding in our jackets!
That was rather fun and entertaining, it did manage to put a smile on my face, multiple times in fact, which I appreciate so very much. Rest tight the two of you, hoping Laura's migraine will vanish soon 🍀🌝
Plymouth - ilfracombe - it's almost 100 miles to the dot... great pubs en route and doable in a day, but save some pasty for the push up the hill from ( I think it's ) Braunton... it's a killer
When I'm out, it's always when I'm changing that group of people turn up, even though we could be in the middle of nowhere! I was on a deserted beach, and a whole football squad came by on a training run! When I saw the soldiers, I nearly spat my tea out in hilarity!! 😁😉
Coast to coast goes to Ilfracombe. I’ve done it in a day and I am not a fast rider. Worst section is Hatherleigh to Okehampton. Love Lydford Farm Shop. The bread pudding there is awesome!
Wow you cycled most of my closest routes from home in this one! Dartmoor is an amazing place to get lost, head into the thick of it for less than an hour and it feels like you're in another country!! Highly recommend to anyone who hasn't visited dartmoor's trails before.
I highly recommend a food pitstop from the top of Brentor……..if you haven’t previously been there. Beautiful 360 views and a amazing spot to sit with family and cycling friends 🖖🏻
I really enjoyed seeing this nice little adventure! I haven't done any bike packing yet, but hope to soon! Sadly, no chance of friendly cows at a pub here in the U.S. : (
Your Rides are always very entertaining and inspiring Juliet. Great to see you have to ‘Bike Hike’ sometimes, this will give my Wife another reason to get off and push up a Hill, she will say ‘Well Juliet does’ 😜
This was great 👍. Kids get bikes ride around have fun. We grow up work. Buy bikes fall back in love with riding with friends riding around drinking tasty beverages and eating good food. Awesome 😎. Mountain Bikes are the coolest bikes.
Hi Juliet, you do make me laugh you get some great stuff sent to you to try and have some great adventures, well done for great content in your flogs 👍
Thanks Julie nice pool that, jus got to my bnb In Winchester.. Start my King alfred's in the morning, can you recommend any swimming spots on the route thanks in advance x
Great day out. You get some many presents Juliet it's like Xmas all year. Slugs are hideous I had a massive one in the house trying to get into the cars bowl. Toxic things
What bum bag does Laura use? I’ve moved a lot of my load to the bike but still use a backpack, which I would like to lose. Have been toying with the Osprey Seral 7.
Hi the osprey seral is the one I have, I really like it, repair kit and inner tube in the hip pockets, then room for a jacket, water, snacks, mini bike lock & go pro or phone
So. When Laura isn't making morning coffee to stop you being grumpy when you get up she is rescuing you from slugs. Yep. She is a good friend. Everyone needs a Laura
Juliet! If your frame bag doesn't fit-- get a bigger bike! Lord knows you'r strong enough to push it up those hills. What size tires do you use on your gravel bike?
What a 'feel good' video. Friends out pootling about, ogling the soldiers, drinking beer and eating nice pasties... I will not mention the skinny dipping, oops I did!
Hi Juliet, I was wondering. You are wearing the whoop band, would you from a "training coach, body battery, recovery"- perspective say that it is on par with an activity watch such as garmin / polar? I can't find anyone on the internet that has a definitive perspective on this. Everybody just talk about the price, and the fact is a fenix 6x cost as much as 3 years worth of subscription of whoop. Can't imagine anyone want to own the same product for longer than that anyway. Also, love your videos, as a novice it gets me off my bum to go out ride my bikes.
Hi Juliette. Love you films especially when you’re with Laura and your other friends, just lovely friendships. Could you recommend to an almost 20 stone middle aged man, wanting to do more cycling, a comfy saddle. The one I have starts causing me so much pain after and hour it’s almost unbearable. Any help appreciated.
It looks like she has a Brooks Cambium on her gravel bike. I’m around 16 stone and the C17 Carved saddle works great for me. So I’d try either the C17 or C19.
I don't think I am wrong. Back I'm my mountain biking days I definitely remember being told off by a Dartmoor ranger, and he was pretty insistent that only BOATS and bridleways were on the menu. And anyway, that's a delicate ecosystem that is already under unprecedented pressure from increased visitor numbers that you're trashing under your wheels, so pardon me for saying that whether I'm right or wrong in the eyes of the law, riding on the open moor is irresponsible and you should stop doing it. There's bloody tons of places to cycle in the south west that aren't churning up irreplaceable landscape.
Ha! Found it in the bylaws pertaining to Dartmoor national park. Read em and weep: No person shall without reasonable excuse ride or drive a cycle, motor cycle, motor vehicle or any other mechanically propelled vehicle on any part of the access land where there is no right of way for that class of vehicle.
You and Laura are so lucky to have each other. Nothing better than a friend to have adventures with!
Juliet, I use a similar frame bag setup. I use one of those retractable badge holders to attach my hydration hose to my front loader, so I can just pull the bite valve up to my mouth and then it snaps back into place. Works great!
The slug in your tent and Laura helping you had me laughing out loud! love you're adventures together!
Me too, I cannot stand slugs! I would have had it out of there so fast! 😁
Have you seen the Banana Slugs we have here in the SF Bay Area?
They’re so cute! 😉😄
Very enjoyable video! Can confirm that The Castle in Lydford is indeed a very nice pub. There's also some great wild swimming on the Lyd just a bit further up the moor from where you parked.
You are a woman after my own heart. That cold pint made my mouth water. Greetings from Alameda California, you wonderful chica!
It's great when mini adventures are about quality rather than quantity, riding alone for hours or days I do quite a lot so when I can coax my daughters and son to ride along, it doesn't matter about Strava or doing big mileage, it's the time that we spend together in the moment.
Cats, pasty, gravel, burger, wild camping and pub. What more could you ask for. Also kudos for Laura riding though a migraine.

Entertaining as always! It’s nice that you’re still able to ride in a T-shirt. My wife and I are gravel riding in central British Columbia and we’re already riding in our jackets!
I highly recommend the Devon C2C! Ilfracombe-Plymouth. 70% traffic free. Plenty of pubs, cafes and farm shops en route too. 👍
Squaddie; ‘morning’. Juliet; ‘hello!’ Brilliant. Devon C2C is great. East Yarde café worth a stop on the route☕️👍🏽

One of the best episodes I ve ever seen on your channel! Amazing!
Wow, thanks!
Laura, what a champ!
Nice one Juliet. We cycled and walked lots of that route in June. You’re so lucky to have that on your doorstep.
Juliet tour guide, certainly looks a nice route, ignoring grumble hill. Fair play to Laura that water must of been chuffing cold.
Coast to coast goes to Ilfracombe. I’ve done it in a day and I am not a fast rider. Worst section is Hatherleigh to Okehampton. Love Lydford Farm Shop. The bread pudding there is awesome!
Another great video! Devon Coast to Coast - Ilfracombe to Plymouth 🙂 our first ever long distance ride in 2012.
The Ilfracombe to Plymouth ride is fun and definitely doable in a day. As ever; start early, go slowly, eat often ;)
Thank you for making me aware of Peter Gold's routes. I'm heading to Dartmoor soon, these will be very useful
Laura picking up that slug ! Thats a good friend to have i reckon, lovin these rides with Laura you should do more ! Please !?X
Happily!

Omg what a great ride!! So beautiful. You guys have the best trails and roads over there 👉 And pubs 😃
A great social ride out and a lovely spot for camping
Mint ,love stuff like this ,can't beat a good bivi /ride good watch both of you 👍 xx
I really enjoyed seeing this nice little adventure! I haven't done any bike packing yet, but hope to soon! Sadly, no chance of friendly cows at a pub here in the U.S. : (

That looks like a lovely little trip! Hoping to get up to some similar things once lockdown is over here in Australia!
This is a magical biking trip, and the best life has to offer. Live on.
Great Dartmoor gravel ride, thanks for sharing
This was great 👍. Kids get bikes ride around have fun. We grow up work. Buy bikes fall back in love with riding with friends riding around drinking tasty beverages and eating good food. Awesome 😎. Mountain Bikes are the coolest bikes.
Looked like great fun. Well done you two ❤
Your guys slugs are SO big... we wild camped just on the edge of Helston and had a slug party all over our tent fly... none inside though...
Hi Juliet, you do make me laugh you get some great stuff sent to you to try and have some great adventures, well done for great content in your flogs 👍
Your car looks like mine. I call mine the “Locker Room”. Hanging a Christmas tree from the mirror doesn’t even help.
Never too early for a pint :) Looks fun!
Hiking up there tomorrow ,high willhays I believe ,nice video 😀
Lovin Luara's MTB bike. The true gravel bike
Thanks Julie nice pool that, jus got to my bnb In Winchester.. Start my King alfred's in the morning, can you recommend any swimming spots on the route thanks in advance x
Dr Elliot makes a lot of sense. Only bad decision was not to get a beer, isn't that what half pints are for?
I don’t think I’ve ever ordered a half pint 😂
Great video, thank you.
Are you sponsored by Apidura? Going to buy a few of their bags thanks to your channel. What awesome weather you got on that ride!
Great day out. You get some many presents Juliet it's like Xmas all year. Slugs are hideous I had a massive one in the house trying to get into the cars bowl. Toxic things
Thought the boot of my Octavia Estate was bad, but you beat me on that score 😁😁😁
Whats your preference bike for a trip like that? Gravel bike or hardtail MTB?
How do you know it's always morning when I watch your vids?
This was a great ride. I live in Cornwall so please tell me the route and the eating places please? X
I loved this. When was this filmed?? Y'all are in puffer jackets!
I like the Apidura portable urinal!
It would be funny if that was It's purpose.
@@glennoc8585 It's a business opportunity!
Laura is my favourite of Juliet's friends.
Well now I’m sad 😂
30 troopers? A dream sequence?
Where did you start and I presuming this is the Belstone Lydford route?
What bum bag does Laura use? I’ve moved a lot of my load to the bike but still use a backpack, which I would like to lose. Have been toying with the Osprey Seral 7.
Hi the osprey seral is the one I have, I really like it, repair kit and inner tube in the hip pockets, then room for a jacket, water, snacks, mini bike lock & go pro or phone
I want to visit the UK just for a pub and cake crawl, lol
Your on a Bike packing trip . Never to early for a pint .
So. When Laura isn't making morning coffee to stop you being grumpy when you get up she is rescuing you from slugs. Yep. She is a good friend. Everyone needs a Laura
Agreed. She is the best!
Juliet! If your frame bag doesn't fit-- get a bigger bike! Lord knows you'r strong enough
to push it up those hills. What size tires do you use on your gravel bike?

With the trainees you just experience Line Of March in the most friendly way possible .
For some reason RUclips had unsubscribed me from your channel. Good vid and resubscribed
Thank you!

The transition style made me think she was cooking the slug.
I see Laura, I click and like automatically.
I see you have a nice organised tidy car boot!
you should've gone skinny dipping with the soldiers there it would have made their week :)
Lovley place Juliet ..
Thanks Juliet, i see you car is as tidy as mine
I need a friend like you!
Another ace vide xx
I want a chip eating cat!
Awesome!
Love from Kerala, India ❤️
It’s a slug migraine ride. Looks fun been out and about,
What a nice place to swom
£3-30 for a cheese and onion pasty? I had no idea the Ritz Hotel was on Dartmoor.
£6 at pendennis today!
They pretty much cost the same at most of the big chains (except Greggs) but these are handmade and delicious. Worth it!
Not share the pool with the army then?!!! Keep Safe!
Sorry need to add should stay at pub 😂
What tent are you using there?
It's by a brand called alpkit, unsure about which one it is though.
@@bethanystuart-bass4140 thank you
I think it could be the jaran 2 😁
two coole snails
Royal Marines??
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that riding off-road on Dartmoor is illegal?
You’re wrong
Do you now feel corrected Martin? 😄
I don't think I am wrong. Back I'm my mountain biking days I definitely remember being told off by a Dartmoor ranger, and he was pretty insistent that only BOATS and bridleways were on the menu.

@@Headin_South Martin, I bet you like wearing uniforms.
Hmmm lovely Laura ! 🚴🚴🚴
Who chose that route and did you know that a troop of England’s finest would be marching past? 😄
Not just England's finest, we let Jocks, Taffs, Paddys and Commonwealth in too!
Poor Laura
Super.....
They're not mere 'soldiers' they are Trainee ROYAL MARINES!
Migraine not nice, I'm also a sufferer. 👎 she has my sympathy.
😍
Ewwwww don’t touch the slug with your fingers
🤮
