#bikepacking

This is the 3 days of the trip made into one full video , which some people prefer.
Finally we head to Liverpool to start the Leeds to Liverpool Canal , 127 miles over 3 days in testing conditions to say the least.
Day one we set off from Liverpool in sunshine but will it last , how will the towpaths be after a never ending winter of rain.
Join us for a memorable trip along this iconic canal.

I am a cyclist, but I do not agree with bikes being allowed on the Towpath. It's a nightmare trying to walk at the side of the canal now. It's downright dangerous.. It's like riding a bike bike on the pavement. It shouldn't be allowed.

[@davesolobiker5601]

That’s your opinion , but we always let people know we are behind them and slow right down . Problem is the amount of people we encountered with headphones on and dogs with those stupid extendable leads , now those types shouldn’t be allowed because they have no idea what is going on around them.
So please let me know we’re we can cycle , as car drivers on the roads don’t like sharing it with us ??

It always makes me smile when members of the public in a public place, object to other members of the public being there, stay in your back garden or accept there are other people in the country😂

[@tonywhite5033]

That’s almost like a car driver say cyclists shouldn’t use the road. As long as it’s all done with respect and safety what’s the issue?

[@marktownend3782]

There always 1.....social media is made for people like this . The path is there for ALL 2 use. There are irresponsible walkers/dog walkers/ cyclist etc.......everywhere, be it path, Road, bridleway. Just get on with it.
More important things in life. Don't like it, don't watch. Simple.
These guys come across as genuine decent blokes

I have a hot safety tip - " as a cyclist on tow paths I always have my arm bands inflated !"

Think you took too much kit with you ..
However what a great effort, specially with all that shit weather / cycle conditions and all that equipment you took.

[@davesolobiker5601]

I like my home comforts 😂 but yeah I could have lightened it a bit more , especially if we knew the weather would stay nice 😎👍 atb Dave

@@davesolobiker5601 fair one bud, I’m preaching at you but I’m just the same 😂 ..
