- This was a proper adventure over 2 days, a perfect weekend of riding on the glorious lanes of Northern England.
The route takes in parts of the Trans Euro Trail (TET) in Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales as well as parts as the Trans Northern Trail (TNT) which is across Cumbria, the Dales and Yorkshire Moors - all worth a luck for other adventures

Really appreciate you adding the gpx file. Sharing is caring! Putting this route on my todo list ❤
So pleased I found this. Awesome scenery, great riding and some good old tough coaching. Shaun will thank you at the end because what he learns from you here will stand him in good stead for the future. He has done really well if he’s a relative newbie to green lanes. Great video.
He was very pleased with himself by the end, and so he should have been, he made a massive improvement in just a couple of days👍
I think when you are riding a bike, everywhere takes on another dimension that if you were in a car, or even walking. Stunningly gorgeous video... 😂😂
My two lads and I are lucky enough to have these lanes in our back yard we run them regularly each way I run a 990 R, that first section on the coach road is a little rough at first but once up that section the lane is ace.. as stated hit it at speed standing up and keep that momentum going and you’ll manage no bother…
I really enjoyed that. Having ridden in the Lakes quite a bit it was nice to see a different take on the lanes that I love so much. Not ventured into the rough yet with the R9T Scrambler as its shod with 90/10 road tyres. However after watching you both it's going to be TKC 70 front & TKC 70 ROCK on the rear now.... Thank you for helping make my mind up. Looking forward to Part 2 Cheers Mucka. Ride well & Stay Safe 🙂
I can remember when salter fell wasn’t the gravel motorway it is now, used to be very muddy and boggy. When the then Prince Charles used to go shooting grouse up there at abeystead, they would spend plenty of the dutchy’s estate money on stoning the track up. There is a Lancaster bomber somewhere up there on the fell that came down and crashed too.
Great video Mike, enjoyed watching.
Great weekend and was definitely out of my comfort zone for a good portion … Mike knows his sh.t however and without somebody I a) trust b) respect I wouldn’t have pushed myself, cheers Ted , look fwd to my next invite!
Mate your confidence by the end was huge, and doing it on your big bike took balls. Maybe a more relaxed trip into Norfolk next with more cake and coffee stops!
There won’t be many Desert X been up there pal, no Starbucks, canny job 👍
Took my desert x up over some of these trails a few months back. Looks a little worse for wear now 😂 where did you get the front motorcross style fender, I need one in my life 😀

Superb & many thanks for the gpx file.
Wow, that was a bloody brilliant watch!..great scenery, bikes, and so well edited and put together..hats off to you mate, excellent that! 👏🏼..will have a look through your other stuff too, atb, Mark
As Sean is new to biking this will do him the world of good. I can remember coming off mid way in a puddle is was that deep me and the bike was totally submerged 😂😂funy as fk
Yeah he did really well, didn't want to stand up at first, wanted his stabilisers out, but he stuck with it and by the end he was a different rider. There are just some things you can't buy down the bike shop, you have to acquire them by sweat and hard graft
Give the one piece rally seat a go. I did 350 miles on my bike one day and was super comfy.
What a fantastic route
Seat concepts make a huge difference plus the other thing I use if the weather is hot or wet is add a cool covers onto it - great part 1 - shall look forward to the next instalment. Way better then spending a fortune getting into ABR and riding around the grass and the bog of doom with the masses at 15mph
Am gonna order a SC seat when a get a moment to call them - wouldn’t be seen dead with one of those cool covers, my mate has one on his desert x and raves about it, but the ‘cool’ motocrosser in me (subjective…) just says they make you look like an old man (I am an old man…) and a wannabe GS riding tourer!…🤷🏼♂️🤓😇
@@twowheeledadventuresuk2739 tbf I thought that until I tried one in really hot weather - made a big difference at Hellas this year in 35 degree heat tho - balls didn't cook 😁
@@robgreaves2633 😆🤣😂
23:34 The road is impressive. I want to go on that path
9:57 - I have ride this one couple of months ago, its much steeper than video shows and those big stones doesn't help. He was to slow :D, this is good fun.
Shaun knows what he’s doing wrong, just needs a bit more confidence, he was way better on the second day
Hi great vid, from your I’ve downloaded os maps and been looking all afternoon studying little bits of your route and trying to make sense of it all haha, haven’t done much map work not going to lie. Following it bit by bit still looks like a lot of road work do you have to use your nose a bit when out there to get on the off road bits when you follow the map can see some of the tracks follow the road so you just jump on them or is it true ok the map and you skipped loads of the start on the vid not knocking great vid and bike also have a t7 👍🏻👍🏻 thanks
@@dannyhyland7360 I couldn’t show the whole route the vlog would be hours long and no one would watch it, so it’s just the highlights. If you use an app such as the OS map app you can literally see the byways and green lanes on the map and they have a specific style or symbol on the map, so it makes it easier to follow. I did a vlog over a year ago on planning routes and where you can legally ride, if you watch that I’m guessing it will help. Yes there is a lot of road but Norfolk has a lot of green lanes compared to many other destinations
Nice vid Mike beautiful views. Let me know how you get on with the Seat Concepts Seat. Just back from Germany riding in the Black Forrest which was awesome while standing up but the road work to and from Hook of Holland was a bit painful on thy bot bot by the end of each day. Looking forward to part 2 bud.
Yeah I was in agony after the ride home👍🤷♂️
Been trying to find out if its actually legal or not to ride standing up on pegs as this is a nice rest for your butt... seems to be a bit of a grey area ???
@@bosscat8951 I think it’s ok to stand, I’m sure I read that somewhere
Great c2c videos really enjoyed them, going to check out your other videos now, Can I ask what app are you using to navigate with on your phone please.
Brilliant video over 2 days.
I can’t seem to get the GPX file to download to open. If you have a moment is there any chance you can send it to me.
I so want to do this route
You must being something wrong as everyone else seems to be downloading it ok - you don't need to sign up to DB by the way
@@twowheeledadventuresuk2739 user error I’m sure. Thank you and great vids as ever.
All sorted and downloaded day 1, just need to try and find Day 2 now lol
What tyres you and Shaun using, they seemed to have worked well? Brilliant coaching btw…
@@mabsbry1318 Shaun used Mitas enduro trail XT+ Dakar, I had a Michelin tracker on the front and a Pirelli MT21 on the back 👍
Great trip love that area. What Uswe back pack are you using. I’ve been looking at there raw 12
It's a Hajker 24 - it's been great, very comfortable and waterproof. Also use it for a bit of hiking
Great film, What are you using for your navigation?
@@MrScottw105 OS map app on iPhone, its almost impossible to go wrong, great app
Great vid, where was the second campsite?
About a mile up the river from Litton - they have no contact details tho as far as I'm aware, maybe ask at the pub
Any news on day two video and gpx yet cheers phil
Hopefully have the vid out Friday, GPX I haven’t had time to edit yet as we missed some bits out because the lanes were overgrown or we didn’t have time for them
Having done less than 10 miles off-road plus being taken off by a hidden rock recently.
Watching your bike move around under you is giving me that weightless queazy feeling. 🤢
It takes a bit of getting used to and it's easy to see how having a good suspension setup really helps on the rocky stuff 👍
New to biking... Riding an 18 grand bike 🤣
Im guessing Shaun wont be coming out with you again.Do a Video where you ride with some one who has more skills than you. That would be good.
Stand up and get your feet up instead of hanging them off like you are on a kids no pedal balance bike.
He knows that, buts it’s having the confidence to stand up, not easy for a beginner
That lad can’t carry any speed or momentum if he’s got his legs hanging off the side of the bike. He needs to get his feet on the pegs so he can be in proper control.
He knows that but having the confidence to stand up when you're a beginner takes time and practice - by the end of day 2 he was riding brilliantly and getting over some very tricky ground
