Really enjoy watching your rides. They are an inspiration for my own (humble) riding. The descriptions of the monuments and places of interest really add to the viewing pleasure. Thank you and keep riding!
Thanks, it's not a 'classic' route in that it necessarily involves bits and bobs that I wouldn't normally recommend though I'm often pleasantly surprised at what even basic infrastructure offers. I actually quite enjoy the more complex elements - up to a point. It can be preferable to slogging along a false-flat into a head wind on a heavy road for instance. All the best
Mate, I've loved this series of videos on familiar to me landscapes. I was down Teesside way a couple of months ago along the riverside over that barrage and up the cycle way to Shotton Colliery, I was going to do the bit you did buy been on it before. Keep up the excellent videos. 😊
Love the rides around my old stomping ground, and all the detail.. excellent One small point, you quite often show corner after corner very quickly after each other. It's an uncomfortable watch for me so I assume for some others as well
Thanks Brian. The point you make is a perfectly reasonable one. If it's any consolation, my wife struggles with it as well. In making these videos in particular I've probably tried to cover too many bases. I originally set out to show how the route could be ridden in a day and felt that I needed to illustrate its nuances - particularly in urban areas (traffic levels for instance and how I'd deal with it). The more challenging parts change less frequently and are relatively easily dealt with by comparison. Many folks that take the time to comment quite reasonably seem to prefer the features over the cycling itself and I completely understand why the incidental turns and stuff would be off-putting. Although I have no plans for the next project (yet) I can assure you that unless I believe there's a good reason for it - maybe I'll make a 'Great Corners of County Durham' video 😁 - I'll stick to the more interesting stuff. Your valued comment has been duly taken on board. All the best. Scott

Thanks Jonathan. It's great to know they're appreciated. I've got no plans to stop yet. All the best.
The cycling history man strikes again.....brilliant 😁👍
Cheers Honor, glad you enjoyed it 👍
I so enjoy your videos please keep up your good work
Thanks Keith. Pleased to get this one finished and able to start thinking about something else. Any suggestions? All the best
Brilliant, thank you once again.
Cheers Jimbo! 🙏
Amazing. Well done, particularly given the amount of technical urban infrastructure that you had to deal with.

Enjoyed the final episode, a lot of familiar places, and it looks to be a great route. Thanks for sharing 👍
You're welcome. Thanks for watching 🙏
