- Hey Everyone,
In this video, I share the first part of my awesome motorcycle trip to Northumberland with my good friend Lillie. We are both passionate bikers and we decided to have a girls biking holiday in this beautiful area of England.
We started our journey from Bolton and rode to the Northumberland, which is one of the UK’s best kept biking secret locations. We found a lovely place to stay, set up our base and then went for a ride to explore the stunning scenery and roads.
We had a lot of fun and excitement on our bikes, and we also enjoyed the views and the fresh air.
This was a great start to our motorcycle adventure and we couldn’t wait to see more of Northumberland.
If you enjoyed this video, please give it a thumbs up and leave a comment below. I’d love to hear from you. Have you ever been to Northumberland? What are your favourite motorcycle routes there? Do you have any tips or recommendations for bikers who want to visit this area?

Your ĺike two school kids going on holiday to the seaside for the first time. Really enjoyed your video driven those roads myself but never on a bike.
I can but compliment you on your road destination taste! I see you passed beautiful Rothley Crags on the way to Rothbury - "phroar.....look at this road....." - well worth a climb up to see the folly/castle next time you come.
All my own videos are of Northumberland's hidden gem roads, which are a treat for the rider to explore and experience. Of course, I'm slightly biased. 😀
Although only part 1, here, I'm sure you had a wonderful experience overall.
Enjoyed the video kate and Lillie, you make a good double act, lovely views and the kawasaki sounds great, those fish and chips looked yummy. Sorry to hear Lillie had a spill but glad she is OK 👍, Look forward to part 2, Take care of yourselves, Best wishes Roy 😀.
Some cracking rds in Northumberland
I'm lucky living in northumberland..it's a stunning place with some great roads,,,don't forget to visit the castles.great video,you ladies take care and enjoy.
Me too... "centre of the universe" is the statement most apt when describing Northumberland. Blessed we are mate.
A cracking start to a new series Kate and Lillie with part one, the journey to the beginning. I'm sad to hear about Lillie's off as others have mentioned and the demise of the bike but it's great news that she's OK and back on two wheels for a girls' road trip. I had to chuckle at the 'food baby' comment after the fish and chips meal. Many thanks for sharing.
the fall must have really knocked Lilly's confidence by the looks of it :( - absolutely love the video, I am from Blyth and to see Northumberland again is a great privilege :) thank you
I owned a 2012 Ninja 1000 SX and sold it for a Kawasaki Z H2. I have to say in 100% honesty even with my Z H2 being tuned and modded to 225 hp at the wheel for an everyday bike I really miss my Ninja 1000. In fact, I'm currently selling the Z H2 and planning on getting a new or slightly used newer Ninja 1000. So fun seeing you having such a good time. It's contagious makes me want to take a road trip now too. :-)
How do Kate and Lillie. Great banter as always from you mad pair. Great vlog 😊
Morning Kate and Lillie I am saving this one for later xx ride safe and keep the awesome work up 😊
Love a Kawasaki ninja 1000sx, and Northumberland is wonderful, not often us southerners go up that way but its fantastic. Thanks Kate and Lillie.
Great video Kate and Lillie. Brilliant loved it and such lovely places.
Voice of an angel, that Waterloo rendition made me well up.😂
Can’t wait for part two, good to see the girl trips back on.
So good! You two together always make for a great vlog. Looking forward to the next episode.
Great viewing from two such happy as buggery lasses. Nice to see you arrive in Gods country. The roads around Northumberland are brilliant for biking.
Great Vid Kate and Lillie Always Great to see Enjoy Ride safe Both keep Doing the Great Vids Your making Kate stay Safe xx
Enjoy guys 😎, love a bit of ABBA 😂😁
Yay another tour and with Lily!!
Love it when you two ride together 😊🎉
It’s been quite a while since I was on Holy Island apart from the beautiful meed I remember talking to an old fisherman who was working on his nets and as I was talking to him he started crying because his way of life was coming to an end , he was so sad and yet he had great faith and was lovely to talk to about his life bless him😊
The b6318 runs parallel to the a69 it's the longest b road in England which also runs beside Hadrian's wall you could have seen the iconic tree before some nasty person chopped it down
Great video….my neck of the woods 👍🏻
Love these types of videos. The dynamic duo at it again 👍👍
As an Aussie, I find it funny that you call the ground the floor. Safe travels Kate and Lillie
Blimey Kate rothbury is a long way from Morpeth I was getting excited you were going through my home town but rothbury is a lovely place.plenty of bikers on Saturday and Sunday.
Fish n chips looked awesome! Lovely little bits of batter, lovely and crunchy.
It was top tier!
@@UsernameKate I noticed the Chopsie t too in one's luggage🙂
Oh Aye, all the time in the world for Chopsy! Gotta represent!
Awesome video! Beautiful country side for sure. You two! Pretty fun. Looks like a good time. Best!
Ps you should sing more. Love it!
The Haven... that's more like Heaven missing an e!
The right place for a couple Angels 😊.
Northumberland is one of my favourite places to ride, if you get a bit of sun its amazing, Otterburn up to Rothbury and then Anwick, cracking little route❤
Been up there done the whole coastal route and Holy Island and wanna go back... Love Northumberland, all of it, Fantastic. Glad you're enjoying it too.
Love Northumberland and you and Lillie of course. Looking forward to the rest of the trip.
On my to do list, Northumberland is so beautiful ❤
It's a gorgeous place 😊
I moved to Northumberland from Cornwall and Liked it so much I stayed, that was over 20 years ago. Great biking roads.
Glad the New Haven didn’t turn out to be that travel trailer in the parking lot! Safe travels, ladies
Love these girlie trips and can`t wait for part 2
Another great video 🏴
I really liked the map I bet that’s hard to do.
That green Kawasaki looks really nice and sounds well.
I don’t think anyone would be messing around with you two down a dark alley.
Looking forward to the next film I’d love to do the Northumbria 250.
I was starting to think Lilly booked you into a garden shed 😂
I’ve just done south Scotland and it was amazing and came back through Northumbria and loved it.
you's two defo should host a podcast 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely brilliant girls love it
Can't wait for the rest, especially since I'm on the road working away from my beloved bike. In my experience probiotics are very helpful after an antibiotic regimen. I have no medical training whatsoever, just a lot of unfortunate injuries.
Living north of Corbridge, you’re in my back yard. Very lucky to ride these roads on a regular basis, don’t tell everybody how good the roads up here are😆😆👍
PS. Glad you had a great time. Should have left the A69 at Greenhead and followed the Military Road….
why are you so pretty 😍. 19:12 The landscape is impressive. I want to be riding my motorbike there right now
Great work gals!
So good to see you in a trip a again, and with The Blond Duke! Keep up the great work!
Kate and Lillie, you girls are awesome, your video provides the most entertaining content I've had the pleasure of watching! 30 minutes of breathtaking scenery with your beautiful non-stop commentary. Thank you both for sharing your holiday with us!
Excellent video guys...such a laugh with you too!! Great stuff 👏 👍 Cheers Steve 💚
A good giggle as always! 😂
Thanks for visiting Northumberland where im from hope you enjoyed it
Love to go for a ride with you or both of you,you have a blast
You have to go see bamburgh castle and also grace darlings grave such a brave woman have a Google about her
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this vid, what an amazing landscape to go on a two wheeled adventure through. And what a an awesome ride to do it on. Roll on part 2.......oh and I'd really recommend the Shell app to minimise the faff when filling up.
How brilliant is a motorcycle trip! Been around Northumberland. Great sense of open space there. 👍
Nice adventure 🏍🏍
You're always gabbin'...non stop. No wonder Lilly don't wanna be hooked up with coms with ya😂!
Good fun.
Wonderful
You fit on the Ninja as it was custom made for you! Amazing
Well done bikers 👍good vid 😊
Food babies!!!!!!!
Found this vid and you two are hilarious. Been in rothbury a few times as live 20 miles from there. The locals would like you two , Turks head and Newcastle inn you’d be the star attractions !
Some good roads in the n e to ride , stay safe.
Loved this. I want a z1000 now, and Northumberland.
Hadn’t figured you to be a plant person, Kate. One would expect they move to slow for you. 😁
Hey Kate, if ever I haven't got a puk for the side stand , I just use an empty drinks can 👍
Great video,just a tip Kate if you turn the handlebars fully to the right, the bike will pick up easier.
I'm sure I saw Lillie on the DGR ride in Oxford.
Looking forward to part2
Yes I did the Oxford DGR!
Kate, FFS please keep your hands on the bars, you're toooooo lovely and complacent especially when speaking to us about the trip. Anyways,why don't the two of you try a trip up here in East Lothian , it's a great coastline all the way from Northumberland and you can pop into the Winterfield Golf club for a smashing meal /salad at Dunbar then perhaps to snooty North Berwick. The views from golf club are fantastic. I'll watch rest of vid shortly,so far so super good, hopefully you and Lillie never fall out as it's obvious together you are both terrific travelling companions. Thanks regards Robert
Yeah wow in Australia we have to take our helmet off when we go into any shop or service station it's a pain in the ass really.
Safe travel girl enjoy 😊
Lilly must have been lucky to come out ok after foo baring her bike 😮
Was a fairly slow speed crash but thankfully my gear did the job and I slid down the road unharmed!
Nothin' "worse " than bein' a " silly sausage". Sincerely, What an entertaining personality you are;)! I was first introduced to your channel via your bike reviews, which are quite informative. but obviously, that is when "Ms. professional's Mask" must be donned😉😄. You really let your hair down (of course) , at least on this one trip that I've followed, and well done! Anyhow- thank you for all you shared in this video series, and in such great spirits! Perhaps someday you'll give the American landscape a go. You won't be disappointed! Take care, Ms. Kate!
Nice, glad Lilly is okay after her accident ☺
Glad to see you two back on tour. Wondered passed you both at the ABR, you were in conversation with people or I'd have stopped to flirt with Lilly 😂
😂
Happy Easter ;)
Happy Christmas :)
Maybe a trip around the dales on a lovely sunny day on a pair of CCM bobbers or flat trackers ,I mean is anything more impressive than Britain's finest certainly to look at 💥💥💥 let's see what you guys make of them 😁
Looks good hope the food is good 😊
Love when the gworls are on the road, this was a vibe ❤
That dance at the starting 😂😂
Ok 👏🎉👍
Always enjoy a Kate n Lilly outing but A69 what a mistake Kate, should've done A686 from Penrith and joined 69 at Hexham. Hope we see you up North again very soon 👍. Glad Lily came to no harm 🍀
Never mistakes, just more opportunities to ride 🤘
Aye ya missed cumbria's version of the Isle Of ManTT's mountain road! 😊
Brilliant lol
Cuppa tea after fish 'n chips!
Oh yes!
My patch 💪🏻
Oh yeah, the left turn at the top of park road in West Houghton, it a bad sweeping turn even when its dry. On a meet up we usually go to the mercury service station to fill up.
Every time you have the chance try to turn around on the parking lot and point the bike to the exit. It saves a lot of effort when you start again.
I think you and Lilly do the riding and vlogging and your Hannah picks the digs 😊
Lol food babies 🤣🤣🤣
lilly shop'ed a "new" motorbike if i translated it right ? ...so does we can wait for a review with both kawasaki and lilly her choice ?
Morning Kate how are you doing today looking forward to seeing this later on nothing beats seeing you on 2 wheels with lily duke of blonde ride safe lovely wearing your biker gear and your world famous swanky helmet and dark visor.. only one username Kate 😊
By the time you got to Northumberland, your tyres will have been scrubbed in.
Just I minor point.
Remember, the only thing you can do with good advice is, pass it on. 🤣
I love your videos.
A part of the country we need to tour,I've been a few times but not bike touring. Have kawasaki improved the seat on the SX? I know three people who had the earlier version and all said the seat was rock hard and uncomfortable position for touring! Looking forward to your next one.we have a 2016 1290 but I need to test the newer version 👍.
Hey Kate & Lillie! What did you use for the map tracking (3:44) - that is awesome! I'm actually working on a trip video myself at the moment and this would be a nice addition.
I think it's just an app called TravelBoast or Travel Animator. Not sure how good or legit these apps are as I've never used them but it looks cool.
I'd like to know that too, it's so cool!!
Yeah good Q, I hope she answers this, I wanna know too, for my tour comin' up in Aug.
Just watched the video. It says travel boast in the top left. So guessing that’s what she uses
i enjoy a lot this kind of video, get some device to talk with Lillie during the ride, it could be a plus, thank you for the content, who snores more Lillie or Kate?
Those speed limits are ridiculous… absolutely crawling.
Lilly!!!!
Wish Lillie would start motovlogging too then she can feature surprize guests like Usernamekate

@@UsernameKate I only see a Box emoji guess I'll never know if it's the middle finger or a smiley face 😔
Haha love heart hands emoji
I found using a tinted visor was difficult to see my sat nav , how was it for you.
Well, as you started the blue jokes... Its good to see the 2 of you getting off on A69...
Sorry, too easy 😂.
The A69 is just a road. The more interesting route would have been the Military Road. This road was built by the Romans and runs roughly parallel to the A69 following the line of Hadrian’s Wall. I’m also surprised you didn’t mention anything about the Hartside Pass.
Part 1.
Lock up your sons. They’re at it again! 😁
Well Kate, I wasn't sure that I was OK with your large location panels that pop up. However, having seen a few, I am starting to like them a lot. There is nothing worse than thinking "Where?" & "What did she say?". Now we know clearly where you are (if you announce it). This could be a real change for the better. Thanks!
Great team you and lily xx❤
