Enjoying your Northumberland videos. That's where I do most of my own videos, mainly little off the beaten track, Secret Squirrel routes. 🙂 When you come back, feel free to drop me a line for some suggestions should you feel the need. I recommend not adhering to the N250 route too strictly. You can detour to find interesting places and rejoin the 250 again very easily. Re. Your puncture. Sabotage does happen, some people dislike motorcyclists, sadly. Luckily, it was very slow - although it might not have felt like it lol! There is nothing worse than a slow puncture that doesn't even let you get more than a couple of miles before it needs pumping back up. Also, good you had tyre pressure warning to monitor it. Finally, The Gun at Ridsdale! Good pub, and I grew up in Ridsdale as a kid. Some marvellous Secret Squirrel routes around that area!
That's fantastic.. you are very lucky..Northumberland is a wonderful area.. we'll definitely be back again! Thank-you for taking the time to leave a comment, it's very much appreciated
I have to agree 100%. I`m also in Northumberland, and there are so many incredible roads off the beaten track. Sundays can be "busy" relatively speaking, but weekdays on the back roads it can feel like you`ve been gifted the roads to yourself. The next time you visit the area, I would suggest exploring the Otterburn ranges. Miles and miles of incredible scenery, good condition roads .(but watch out for sheep poo) , and often not another car for hours on end. there are also some nice forest tracks to ride, and the gravel is finer than the Keilder drive. It is so quiet you might think you`ve gone deaf. Rothbury is lovely, and very biker friendly. Northumberland has so many nice roads, and great places to explore that one visit is never going to be enough, in fact I think you should just move here 😁. I`ve loved watching your videos, and just subscribed.
@jonnytimerider Fully agree. I was up past Holystone onto the edge of the Otterburn moors recently and made an ASMR video of it. But what's happened to the nice autumn weather? It's been abysmal this last week lol.
Rear tyre punctured - was it sabotage though?
