The channel is to showcase great motorcycle roads - offering fantastic rides and views, on any bike, at any speed and in any direction. It's not about ratings, likes or the author - just a collection of great rides across North Yorkshire, Durham Dales, Pennines, Northumberland and the Lake District.
Part of a long day in the saddle with a friend. If you notice, I spent half my time dodging oil and the other dodging cyclists but the biggest risk on this road is motorists messing up corners 🤣
Worth having a look at the Hartside Heroes RU-vid channel. Lots of bikes come croppers on the final bend (6 minutes). And there was a flying Audi seen recently 😂. Great shame the cafe at the top burnt down. Yet to do it on my Lambretta!
Ive een hartside heroes channel and even starred in it 🤣. I've also seen a few accidents on hartside, so I tend keep one eye on other riders/drivers in case they're pushing beyond their limit. Good news is the cafe is returning - let's hope it captures the soul of the old cafe.
Around 4 miles of the best biking road imaginable, i personally prefer going up from penrith side, can hit the corners a little harder when gravity is helping. I live around 30 miles from it and look forward to the challenge 3 or 4 times a year ( weather permitting) when i visit the lake district.
Thank you for the super vid and hope to see more of the roads I ride most weekends, you've given me an incentive to get the GoPro out from the back of the drawer and do a little vlogging. Thanks again 👍
@@northernbackroadbiker I have a couple up now but not to your standards. I find it always better to view peoples vids in full screen HD. Hope to see you out and about, maybe ride out sometime.. 👍
Thanks so much for this. So thrilled to find it .I have subscribed. My late partner and l used to drive this route. I also love the view after going over the top like a rollercoaster. I don't drive due to sight issues so haven't been in over for years. I will be able to follow all his old be routes now he used to ride his motorbikes on all on the dales back roads that his Dad cycled in 40/ 50 s . Glad too see they all still being enjoyed.
So very pleased you enjoyed it. I started this channel purely to share routes and scenery for those who may not have visited the area and never thought I would recieve so many positive comments from those reliving drives and rides from the past. Very much makes it worthwhile 🙂
great riding vid. done it myself for the first time on 30/03/24. Great weather and i was buzzing. When we came back up, we said......lets do it again. hahaha. What a thrill. Beauty and thrills not to far away.
Great video thanks. Went up there in my 6mtr campervan last week and when I got to the bridge with the yurts I turned back and went off the other way for miles. Lost my phone signal and turned back and tackled the hill which was actually ok. On my own so worried about getting stuck😂 loved the Tan Hill
Excellent video. Thanks for uploading. That section of road is in my top 3 (which changes all the time). Other good roads in same area are Brough to Middleton-in-Teesdale, Middleton-in-Teesdale to Alston (either direction) and A6 from Penrith to Shap.
Thanks for this. I have subscribed. my late partner and l used to drive this route l loved the descent it's the best view ..like a roller coaster. I haven't been over in years as l don't drive due to sight issues. I will be able to catch up with all his old routes now. 😍
Know the route well. Often do it from Malton, through to Alson, Penrith and home. Roads are awesome, mostly empty of traffic and views sublime. We are so spoilt up north. I watch riders in the south on youtube and the traffic they have to deal with. Here you can really ride uninterrupted. 👍
Great video, and thanks for bringing back memories of this exact route! I rode a pedal cycle the opposite way from Hawes, back in 1966. Tough climb up through Gayle, with only 5 gears! Great downhill into Wharfedale though .
There are so many memorable scenic views in the area and for me, looking down towards Gayle from the hilltop is one of my favourites. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Just back from a week in the Dales and missing those roads and the beautiful countryside and views. Stayed at Kirkby Malham. Went into Grassington and had dinner at The Foresters Arms, amazing, and such a picturesque village. Went to Hawes and onto Buttertubs Pass, climbed to the Tan Hill Inn, then down the other side, and back to Kirkby Malham, fabulous days driving. Love the Dales so much.
I agree. For now it's still worth the extra cost as Riding as for me, its medicine for the soul. Costs do seem to be going up quickly and must be really difficult for some - especially younger generation wanting to get onto bikes
@@northernbackroadbiker motorcycling is quickly dying with the younger generation, having to do a a2 test just to have to do the exact same test a few years later is just a big no imo, friend done his full license and passed theory and mod 1 first time mod 2 third and was 1900.00 in total, disgusting
Lawmakers don't seem to understand that costly training doesnt necessarily equate to safer riding. Training is essential to a point after which experience is by far the best teacher. You can't buy competence
Does anyone know what the red sign with the brake symbol on the railing left-most in the video @1:03 is supposed to indicate? Hello from New Brunswick Canada.
Pleased you enjoyed it. I used a Gopro hero 7 black using image stabilisation @2.7k res and 60 fps. Uploading to youtube usually only hd due to low upload home bandwidth
Great video, but had to mute the music. I would much rather have a natural soundtrack, particularly of the bike engine. In fairness it's not just you, for some reason many bike vloggers seem to think we all want rock music...we don't.
Pleased you enjoyed it. Music was initially added to hide wind noise on some vids but will post next ones without as I agree, royalty free music can be annoying.
Some lovely looking places, love the east coast, we try and visit the coast at least once a year from where we live ( Peak District) I’ll get on google maps now and look up those places👌😁👍🏼
The coast is a beautiful area and there are many small villages to visit. May get really busy in the summer and so I tend to head inland. Theres equally scenic and interesting villages hidden in the valleys over the Yorkshire moorland area.
Im pleased you enjoyed this video. Im lucky to live in close proximity to several areas of outstanding natural beauty and as you can see from the clip, I often slow down just to enjoy the views. Its unlikey I'll post any more until the spring but tune in for next year.
