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 around 11 am and finding a camp spot just after Appley Bridge.
I will be doing it as 3 episodes, as this is much easier to edit. I have so much footage to sift and sort !! But hoping to have next episode out later next week.

You really can't beat a pub crawl with a bit of cycling thrown in! Being half cut, up the cut is definitely my style. Thanks for taking us along.

Now I could get on board with a canal ride. Lack of hills and all that. Good trip Dave

Did this a few years ago but sadly the good pub stops were few and far between. It's more challenging than many assume because you earn every mile (few downhill freebies). A very diverse route in terms of scenery and history and very enjoyable.

@davesolobiker5601 4 месяца назад

I agree it’s not any easy route as they go , quite a few grouped together then nothing . tfw atb Davec

@robertsimpson2167 2 месяца назад

Did this route in two sections, a long way but good route especially over the pennines.

@davesolobiker5601 2 месяца назад

Yes I agree it’s a great scenic route atb Dave

@davidginn8448 4 месяца назад

A grand start to the trip (apart from dropping the waterproofs) and the big plus so far is the weather, mind nobody likes a headwind. Thats a great wee spot for the first night. 40 miles is good considering you had a few beers on the way, do I see a theme starting here 😅🍺. ATB Big Dave Scotland

@davesolobiker5601 4 месяца назад

Thanks , yeah I have form for losing stuff it’s an expensive habit. Weather yes that’s about to change , beers do slow the pace but we aren’t in it for breaking records lol atb Dave 🍺🚲⛺️👍

Running Horses - Lydiate.......It's really funny, all those pubs are familiar to me, but I've never been in them on a ride. The path jumps from the left hand side to the right hand side at Mill Lane, Parbold.

@davesolobiker5601 4 месяца назад

I think you need to rectify that 🍺🚲👍 yes lost count of how many times we swapped sides of the canal 😂

@Neil_A 18 дней назад

There’s some very comfy seats out there with suspension don’t no why ppl don’t invest in a comfy seat when doing these long rides, 7.48 is my area loverly place for a meal the saracens head that’s the part of the canal I do my lure fishing

@davesolobiker5601 18 дней назад

Yeah I’m always on the lookout but to be fair I have gel saddle cover which makes a massive difference 👍 atb Dave

@donnavansenior 4 месяца назад

Now that's the way to do it - sampling the fayre at the local hospitality houses as you cycle along 😂😂 I like Ian, he's teaching you bad habits lol. It looked like a good trip (apart from losing your waterproofs, I wonder if you'll ever get those leggings back?) but dear me some of those sections were a full on mud bath, I'm surprised no-one skidded in to the canal. Looking forward to the 2nd part of the Leeds - Liverpool special :)

@davesolobiker5601 4 месяца назад

I don’t need leading far astray from pubs lol , yeah lessons learned regarding losing gear 🤔 wait to you see the next episodes , then you will see a mud bath !!! came very close at times to going in the canal 🌊 tfw atb Dave 🚲⛺️👍

@marksadventures3889 4 месяца назад

I really detest those grey gate things. I lived close to the canal for years - it's not that far now really. I've done that ride a few times now on different bikes over the years. I've used The Navigator in Blackburn as a pit stop a few times, inn on the Wharf Burnley, The Black Swan in Hebden Bridge. Last outing that way was 2022.

@davesolobiker5601 4 месяца назад

thanks , yeah some of those gates are a real pain to get through, towpath is in a right state in places at the moment . atb Dave
