Ridiculously jealous. God damn.....

I have this problem, but then I think to myself, if I was walking through the middle of nowhere and saw a tent, I'd soon turn the other way!
It's the whole "they're more scared of you then you are of them" argument.

Except I'd probably bite.

ah brilliant! :) Cheers guys

That On One Whippet is gorgeous, love the red rims. Thanks. I don't think the rims are original, just a bit of luck that it came with such great components. After I bought it I went all over it checking the weight of everything and was very pleasantly surprised that the rims, tyres, carbon seat pos...

is it possible to get someone to put numbered red dots on a UK map where these are? Be nice to see whats nearby/travelling distance :)

95CBFF57-E337-40CC-8DDE-46C62CF74074.jpeg Here’s my do it all bike, Ritchey P-29er. It does bikepacking, Mtb races, cyclocross races and single speed, but lately more often playgroup run with a child’s bike trailer. If they ever do them in that colour scheme again my wife better hide my credit card...

I had a bike headlight, can't remember the brand, but it supposedly "adjusted to its surroundings". Bloody pain in the arse! If you went by a row of trees, it brightened, dimmed, brightened, dimmed, it couldn't figure out what it needed to do! I won't be using auto-adjusting lights anytime...

I carry a torch for those Ritchey frames, god damn they are sweet.

I've bivvied down there myself, got a bit spooked by gamekeepers blasting shotguns

Jesus Christ haha, shotgun blasts is a pretty good alarm clock I guess

Actually not a bad idea, didn't think of that! Bet it still pops wheelies like a motocross bike. Just noticed, he's in the biggest cog whilst pulling all that. Bet he has some right legs on him!

what amazes me the most about the original pic, is that even with two trailers, he still had to mount two big FULL panniers on the front of his bike. What the bloody hell is he carrying?! People go round the world with a 1/3 of what he has there!

Surly ECR forks. Tons of attachment points, no flex but seemed to feel solid over rough ground. Great forks.

Hydrowrap/Hydrographic it. Can have literally anything you want! Camo, Skulls, etc. Dead quick and great finish Is that something you have done Screescree? Got any photos? How well does it last?

Yeah I've never camped on someones field, might be worth looking at that...

Here's my OO Fatty again with 650B+ wheels. Wildcat bar and seat harnesses, upside-down Ocelot on the top tube, and Alpkit framebag and stem cells. The water bottle sits there fine but Ive since moved to slotting a 2l bottle into the Ocelot with a Blue Desert drinking tube. Still not happy with tha...

God damn theres some nice push-rods here

Haven't been able to find many where I felt safe or secluded enough to camp out, anyone have any places they stop in the area?
Cheers

nice, good route that, the YWW. Do enjoy it, especially in Autumn. Bit sloppy, great fun.

I need a bright green bike, they're beaut. ^

Am I right in assuming you're using the Trans-Pennine Trail from Hornsea-Hull, and the Yorkshire Wolds Way from Hessle-northbound?
