I ❤ Northumberland. A cycling paradise. Also try "The Reivers Cycleway". A fabulous C2C that takes in some amazing and remote scenery. I used Hadrian's Cycleway to get east and then used the Reivers Cycleway to get back west. Bliss.
Love to see it! Northumberland riding is fairy-tale like. Kyloe woods to Saint Cuthberts cave combined with Holy Island for a lovely 30-40mi mixed terrain ride, With a stop at Pilgrims & Guru Coffee of course! Along with Cafe's, I'd love to see yall seek out and give exposure to small town bike shop's in these areas. Cheers!
Absolutely love this. I'll be honest - I wouldn't have thought to research Northumberland with you guys. I hope the tourist board shows their appreciation :)
This was great. I'm from Durham and have visited many of these places but you've shown them in a way that makes me both appreciate having experienced them, and eager to do so again
You two have the best chemistry. I’ll be honest, wasn’t too sure about the new direction after 2 bikes 1 wheelchair but it’s so much better than I (or anyone for that matter, I’m assuming) expected. For me it’s just you guys, DK, Luke (Trace Velo) and Mitch Boyer - the best of cycling RUclips. Best of luck for everything in the future - wishing you blokes all the success in the world. Btw - the podcast is ace! Cheers, from down under.
I'm from Canada and oddly enough have done tons of cycling in Northumberland. Love this place. Don't miss Vindolanda the amazing Roman Legion fort near Sycamore Gap. Corbridge is every bit the gem you describe. So is Warkworth - beautiful little town tumbling down to the river with Warkworth Castle on the height. The Beamish Living Museum of the North is great too. A great loop is Hadrian's Way in one direction and C2C in the other direction which goes by Corbridge, Vindolanda and Beamish. Warkworth is up the coast north of Newcastle on the way to Edinburgh - another great ride.
Bite size chunks of information. Instagram shorts and RUclips episodes combined. Nice format, always dangling the carrot keeping the audience hungry for more 🤗
Great format lads, keep it up. Northumbria has so much to offer for cyclists no matter what type. So many towns and villages to visit including Warkworth, Morpeth, Rothbury, Alnwick to name but a few. I’d say one of if not the best county in England for cycling. 💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️
Gents that made me feel home sick to the point of tears. I left Northumberland aged 16, now nearly 60, jobs overseas have meant I’ve been back only once. Really, REALLY miss it so thank you. It just jumped to the top of my bucket list. New to cycling too so bonus! Now, where’s the Mrs?
This was a great video lads. Showing off our beautiful Northumberland coastline. You should have checked out Dunstanburgh Castle in Craster. Looking forward to the next edition of this series.
Pleasantly surprised to see Prospect Hill make this list - I used to live in the lodge house at the bottom of the other side of this - if you followed the road right down, and Prospect Hill was often part of my training loops when I started road cycling 10 years ago. Enjoyed this video immensely, we’re blessed to have such great cycling and variety like this in the N/East.
I enjoy all of your videos. I watch them first when I go to youtube. I like all subjects you cover, and you guys are funny and fun. Great jokes, great editing.
Great video! I hope you showcase the Lake District area. It’s absolutely beautiful and plenty of quiet/hilly roads to ride on! Coast to Coast from Whitehaven to Newcastle passes through loads of amazing scenery and top 100 climbs so I’d recommend that for anyone looking for multi-day/bike packing style holidays too!
You guys need to do this where I'm from!! I love the new format, it presents really well and kept my attention! Maybe an unpopular opinion but England looks like a pretty cool bike touring country!
Loved this new format. Would love to see one for yorkshire, maybe even one for each north, east, south, and west yorkshire. Lake district would also be great. Maybe a colab with Katie for the Manchester area and juliet for cornwall?
Loved it. Well done guys. I just rode the coast to coast route 72 last month and you've just convinced me to do the route 1 up the coast from Tynemouth. Looking forward to the rest of this series
I recognised the starting layby straight away 😊 The Lakeside Way trail around Kielder is my favourite ride in the UK, for sure! There's also a brilliant Lost Lanes route from Bellingham up past Kielder too which is amazing.
You can ride through the MOD's live artillery range at Otterburn. You have to check the closure times but you cycle past half blown up tanks etc. There are some great climbs and descents in there and it's super quiet.
Corbridge is where I grew up. Where I got into cycling I'd go up the a68 to the Scottish border and back via kielder... awesome rides great place of the world
Guys love this one. Highlights from you for rides will be really well received but is. Will try some out so thanks. We don’t nor y to Northumberland either so will check it out!!!!
GREAT video guys showcasing the fantastic county of Northumberland 👏👏👏. So much here to see on your bike,I'm certain you could do a part 2 and 3 quite easily 👍🤞. Many bike cafes Cap Heaton, Belsay, Kirkharle, town of Morpeth, Matfen, Stamfordham, Town of Hexham, the list could go on and on! But do check out Cap Heaton of a weekend guys, it's a little gem 👌
I cycled out to Holy Island and back in April and it was a spectacularly grim experience 😂. Definitely glad I did it, but I will never do it again. The headwinds were relentless. Having to sort a puncture by a decomposing seal wasn't a highlight either.
+1 for Pilgrim's Coffee on Lindisfarne, great coffee and food, be warned though it is very, very busy in Summer tourist season. Corbridge is also a great place. But as a proud Northumbrian I would recommend cycling the coast road from Morpeth up to Berwick (about 50 mile ride), just a thing of beauty...but very little of it is flat and the wind blows 360 days of the year!
You only didn’t mention Alnwick (a-nic) which has a really cool castle, gardens and an Indy bookshop with a model train running around it; and Berwick which has a fascinating history as a border town between Scotland and England. Oh, and Seahouses and some of the really nice beaches (take a warm wetsuit if you’re going swimming mind).
Great place for cyclists and non-cyclist is Cragside nr Rothbury. There is a single track road the loops round the estate (it's only a few miles but it is beautiful) to ride the bike. The non-cyclists can walk round the grounds. If you plan it right, both groups meet at the cafe or for a picnic - the walkers travel a bit, the cyclists a lot. The more adventurous cyclists can cross the road into the forest opposite and get into the hills. Evening meal in Rothbury. I agree Kielder and cycle route 1 are the dogs knees
North Pennines (Alston, Stanhope etc), Kielder, Galloway Forest, Tweed Valley and Loch Tay / Aberfoyle would make up my top 5 cycling destinations. All fantastic for road and gravel, with most catering for MTB too (Tweed Valley is insane for MTB and gravel).
Love the format, Northumberland is great and looking forward to similar approaches to the rest of UK! Lads, you need to grab some "Smidge", great insect repellant and makes you a hell of a lot less attractive than the mug riding with you without it ;)
The "L" in Alnmouth is silent, and the "mouth" is squashed, so it ends up as "ANN-muth." Excellent video, I moved to Gateshead a few years ago and have been slowly exploring County Durham, but have yet to venture too far into Northumbria. Will be checking these out when I get my bike back!
A hidden gem of the North East is the Newcastle Roubaix I invented at uni. Which is cycling down the river to the old outdoor velodrome at South Shields and back 👌
I look forward to the rest of the series. Great that you are promoting holidays in the UK. 👍
You have done a great job on this one lads Well done really enjoyed it ❤
I ❤ Northumberland. A cycling paradise.
Also try "The Reivers Cycleway".
A fabulous C2C that takes in some amazing and remote scenery.
I used Hadrian's Cycleway to get east and then used the Reivers Cycleway to get back west. Bliss.
Sound epic Do you have a route link
Just back from my bike holiday in England and Scotland started in Newcastle and following NC 1 and the East England Coast Trail! Absolut gorgous.
Love to see it! Northumberland riding is fairy-tale like. Kyloe woods to Saint Cuthberts cave combined with Holy Island for a lovely 30-40mi mixed terrain ride, With a stop at Pilgrims & Guru Coffee of course!

Talking of Garmin, you doing the New Forest Garmin ride in August again?
Rode from Newcastle to Edinburgh last year. Absolutely amazing land out there. A joy to ride.
Great idea, great video. You can do more of those !
More of this kind of stuff please! So much more interesting and entertaining.
I'm from Canada and oddly enough have done tons of cycling in Northumberland. Love this place. Don't miss Vindolanda the amazing Roman Legion fort near Sycamore Gap.

You are a great combo for this format. Many other areas of the UK for you to feature and promote
The Sandstone Way! Berwick to Hexham via stop overs in Wooler and Rothbury. Amazing scenery and a few challenging sections.
Theses are great videos. Explains why we come to the UK to hike and cycle.
Bite size chunks of information. Instagram shorts and RUclips episodes combined. Nice format, always dangling the carrot keeping the audience hungry for more 🤗
I’d enjoy 15-20 mins of this. Bit more detailed
Great format lads, keep it up. Northumbria has so much to offer for cyclists no matter what type. So many towns and villages to visit including Warkworth, Morpeth, Rothbury, Alnwick to name but a few. I’d say one of if not the best county in England for cycling. 💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️
I love this format. something different and me being from the usa i got a history lesson. very cool
That jag at the start is lovely.
Great timing guys. Just arrived in Northumberland for 2 weeks holiday and I brought my bike. Happy days.
Brilliant format! 👏
Wow that was excellent well done guys , I really think you should be on mainstream tv , Head and shoulders above any other cycling show !
I agree, we are lucky here in the North East. Absolute smasher of a video.
Great video perfect timing as taking the family to Northumberland in August hoping to get a few rides in
I like this. Not overly detailed. Just enough to get me interested.
Well done fellas, prospect hill is my nemesis! 1st switch and it really kicks up.
Gents that made me feel home sick to the point of tears. I left Northumberland aged 16, now nearly 60, jobs overseas have meant I’ve been back only once. Really, REALLY miss it so thank you. It just jumped to the top of my bucket list. New to cycling too so bonus! Now, where’s the Mrs?

Great vids guys love the format and interaction of you both 👏🏻👏🏻
Also the Crab sandwiches at Craster are superb ❤
Is this going to be a series? Doing some places further south + Scotland and Wales??
Love this video! Northumberland looks fantastic. Yorkshire should be your next stop! 😜
I enjoy all of your videos. I watch them first when I go to youtube. I like all subjects you cover, and you guys are funny and fun. Great jokes, great editing.

Great new format, can't wait for the next one .. Keep up the good work 👍
Great vid guys. Love this format. Did the Northumberland part of the 1 cycle route with my dog on my back recently over 2 days was absolutely insane
You guys need to do this where I'm from!! I love the new format, it presents really well and kept my attention! Maybe an unpopular opinion but England looks like a pretty cool bike touring country!
Loved this new format. Would love to see one for yorkshire, maybe even one for each north, east, south, and west yorkshire. Lake district would also be great. Maybe a colab with Katie for the Manchester area and juliet for cornwall?

yes this was a very good video thank you
Love this! Simonside is great for a big walk followed by pub lunch in Rothbury. Plus the Star Inn in Harbottle does AMAZING wood fired pizza.
Amazing to see some very familiar places…Holy Island and Druridge Bay have been family favourites for years. It’s an amazing part of the UK.
Thank you! Love this. Unlikely I’ll ride there but more importantly I’ll be watching (you ride there)
Again, really wish this was longer. You must have a crazy amount of footage from this ride. Fun video nonetheless!
Loved this new format. Seeing places to ride/visit is always a treat. Can't wait for the next videos.
Brilliant!! It’s great to see you guys growing. Keep up the good work.
Great content boys! Stay Wild! ❤️ from Philly 🇺🇸
Don’t give our secrets away! Northumberland is an incredible place. Amazing video too! 👏🏻
Love this new format. Keep them coming.
I recognised the starting layby straight away 😊 The Lakeside Way trail around Kielder is my favourite ride in the UK, for sure! There's also a brilliant Lost Lanes route from Bellingham up past Kielder too which is amazing.
Beautiful content, well done. Does make me feel homesick though

Well timed video guys as I’m just riding the south east coast for a few days, first time on a multi day ride too 😊
That was good. Looking forward to more like this
Thanks Francis and Jimmi.....very cool !
Loved it. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
fun video, good content with excellent delivery
Great video. My sister lives in Durham and I'm going up in a few weeks. May venture out to some of these!
Very cool new series, guys!
(Also _Andor_ is awesome)
Nice work guys look forward to the rest of the series 👌🏾
Thanks guys another idea for another adventure in the uk
Cracking video. Not long now, and you’ll have a crew on e-bikes
Interesting. I really dig the approach you're taking with the channel these days!
Cracking video, lads! Well done. Looking forward to more like this!
Did the Pennine Bridleway a few weeks ago, fabulous ride for a 4-5 days.
Bros i love this format
Keep it up from Australia 🇦🇺
+1 for Pilgrim's Coffee on Lindisfarne, great coffee and food, be warned though it is very, very busy in Summer tourist season.
Corbridge is also a great place.
But as a proud Northumbrian I would recommend cycling the coast road from Morpeth up to Berwick (about 50 mile ride), just a thing of beauty...but very little of it is flat and the wind blows 360 days of the year!
great to see non ali express kit videos, Keep them coming
love the format .... great to see something 'different'.
This is a great idea. Good work chaps 👊
Coast to Coast Whitehaven to Whitley Bay is a belter
You only didn’t mention Alnwick (a-nic) which has a really cool castle, gardens and an Indy bookshop with a model train running around it; and Berwick which has a fascinating history as a border town between Scotland and England. Oh, and Seahouses and some of the really nice beaches (take a warm wetsuit if you’re going swimming mind).
More of this please

I agree Kielder and cycle route 1 are the dogs knees
7:38 hardy hardy har-dians?
Great vid, kielder is wicked!
North Pennines (Alston, Stanhope etc), Kielder, Galloway Forest, Tweed Valley and Loch Tay / Aberfoyle would make up my top 5 cycling destinations. All fantastic for road and gravel, with most catering for MTB too (Tweed Valley is insane for MTB and gravel).
Fun stuff. I really want some kippers now...
This is great - good work gents 👍
Yes, I enjoy the new format👍
Great video! Thanks fellas.
I dream about coming back to England to do rides like this. Good stuff chaps.
Funny that, from Brisbane AUS, thought same 😎
@@richo7751 I’m in Florida. 33 degrees when I can ride this afternoon ….. Bugger. Good for training though.
loved this. More of the same please. Can’t wait to see the other parts of the UK you visit.😀💪Best regards Martin
Great video guys! almost made me want to leave France for Northumberland...
... almost 🙃
Brilliant video thanks Gentlemen
I'm back up in two weeks, can't wait!
Love the format, Northumberland is great and looking forward to similar approaches to the rest of UK! Lads, you need to grab some "Smidge", great insect repellant and makes you a hell of a lot less attractive than the mug riding with you without it ;)
More videos like this please!!!
Off up to Northumberland coast up August, hoping to take the train up to Edinburgh and cycle back !
The "L" in Alnmouth is silent, and the "mouth" is squashed, so it ends up as "ANN-muth."
Excellent video, I moved to Gateshead a few years ago and have been slowly exploring County Durham, but have yet to venture too far into Northumbria. Will be checking these out when I get my bike back!
Lush film lads, I love cycling in this part of the world
lovely stuff. More of that
Yous two need to go to Aberfoyleeeeee! and Scotland in general!
I can recommend THE LINDISFARNE INN for food and drink, they even have a few rooms.
Great choice or music!
Great video guys!
A hidden gem of the North East is the Newcastle Roubaix I invented at uni. Which is cycling down the river to the old outdoor velodrome at South Shields and back 👌
