Thanks, it was mainly a very nice trip down Memory Lane and I could still feel those cobbles as your camera shook. The sections that I wasn't familiar with looked great and it all looked so very civilised.

Thanks for posting this, it was a great mixture of fond memories and hopefully future discoveries. I can't believe how far you got before stopping for lunch and you still finished by 13:00 ... that massive spag bol must have been packed with energy. I was surprised how much more there was after Oostende, I'd love to do that one day. The music was great, especially the Sandstorm section and you can't beat a good Flemish banger.

Great vid, in fact I'm loving your vids mate, brilliantly done, nice bit of Brummie legends ELO to kick start this vid too, very fitting!! 🙂🙂

Thanks for sharing this, it's very nicely done. It looks a great route and you were blessed with nice weather, I'd like a dabble myself some time soon. Another excellent choice of music and a nice tribute to Bruce at the end.

Even though I live 70 miles away Foxton locks are one of my favourite places in the UK to visit. I agree the Inn there is really good.

NEW SUBSCRIBER !!!! Nice !!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

lol a friend 🙏

360 Go Pro

? Is this shot with a follow me drone

I enjoyed rewatching this and looking forward to following your tracks next Friday.

Kings wood junction to Birmingham 2 hours 🚴

Do you have the GPX file for this route?

The IWA used to do a walking route from Gas st, Brum to Regents canal London including overnight stays such as B&Bs and campsites. I think I may still have it from 25 years ago. The EEC helped finance the upgrading of the towpath for bicycles but it seems they've probably been neglected over time again. At least it's mainly downhill to sea level I think. I never got around to doing it unfortunately because I went sea sailing instead ending up as crew on tall ships after a heart bypass surgery. Too old now.

Loved this! Wonderful music and camera. But please please please display or link a map of the path you took. Some of us fans aren’t familiar with England but would like to do this trip too someday. 🙏🙏🙏 I’m off to Scotland next week to ride the canal from Edinburgh to Glasgow.

Nice route mate. Thanks

plan to do this trip on the chopper bike....one day

well done

That's a great video, and it looks a lovely ride complete with tunnel and ferry. I learned a lot about the area and its geography and the footage promotes how interesting and peaceful it is. As ever the soundtrack hit the spot and I now know Dire Straits weren't singing about a City in Spain.

Thinking about getting a chopper, owned a mk2 when I was a kid, looked at a mk3 and it needs a few parts swapping the seat for one, not looked at the mk4, what is the largest frame size you can get? and what about e-bike legal conversion?

Love this thank you . I can't get out on bike these days for various reasons but I can use an exercise bike for short periods so I have been putting your videos on TV and having virtual rides . Having rode this route many many times it's a very welcome addition to my virtual rides .

Hello, i just wanted to say thanks for your videos. I suffer a lot from anxiety and have real issues making myself get out and about on bicycle trips. Watching your videos are a real source of encouragement. I am planning a Dunkirk to Netherlands trip once the weather allows. Also great music choices.

Nice route. Dreadful music.

That's such a good insight into the Newcastle area, much of the ride looked lovely. I really enjoyed the Geordie themed music - I couldn't place the theme tune about 50 minutes area, I used to watch it, maybe late 70s/ early 80s? Nice one with the photos, they looked great.

We would love to see what the scenery would be like as you give us ideas when we do these videos for KZfaq but we walk the route but do it in stages but we would love to see more and we shake your hand for that.

Can Aylesbury to Birmingham be done

Hi just wanted to ask have you cycled from Aylesbury to birmingham on the Grand Union Canal From come outdoors with us

Only cycled through it once - it was fairly busy, the air quality was bad enough that I decided never again.

Droitwich Spa is actually Stoke Prior Nevertheless a great video.

Leuk om hier nog eens doorheen te rijden... Hulst is mooi geworden.

Great

wallk your bike dont give cyclist a bad name walking are not for cyclist

there for kids not adults

4:22 dig the recumbent...looks like a Phoenix 700 (used to be Rans Recumbents). Relaxing video to watch. Voted & Sub'd.

Thanks for this, im watching the whole thing for research. Im planning to do most of this route soon on an electric bike with 4 batteries. Ill then recharge at a friends and do it again in reverse. It looks the sketchy bits are between warwick and milton keynes. As i only have 16" wheels and no suspension I might pop on and off down the country lanes at that section.

At 32:12 we pass each other. My late pup Wals is watching you ride past.

i would just like to say what a fantastic video & the music to go with it as well 10/10 is there going to be one of these bike rides in 2024

Thanks for posting your ride, lot's of nice familiar sites and I really enjoyed your tour around Bergues at the end. When we were there the whole square was closed off for maintenance or something so we'll have to return to see it properly.

I'm saving this video for future reference.Makes me so sad that English roads are generally shit for cyclists.

Savage :)

I like nothing more than riding a big chopper.

Good stuff, I liked the underpath and it was great to see you all together at the end

No reply so it must be dangerous.

I grew up in Bermondsey (you cycled through there during one of your "blank" edits between Tower Biridge and the tunnel along Jamaica Road - The Tube station was on your right). In the 1960's, my late father used to take us for a Sunday afternoon stroll into the tunnel - not usually much further than the first ventilation shaft. In those days, you could walk up the spiral staircase there and exit onto Brunel Road. Now, it's fenced off. The last time I went through that tunnel, I got a ticket - didn't realise the hire van I was driving had a gross weight of just over 2 tonnes gross weight. Guess that's what comes of assuming the limit was as when I used it years ago! I live in Crystal Palace now. Hope to get back onto my electric-assist bike soon - recently had hernia surgery.

What a great video, really enjoyed seeing the route and the music is great. Can't wait to get over there.

I have to say this is my earliest memory of street cred. I never owned one but friends had them so i did get to ride them. I found them far too easy to flip especially if you were carring a passenger. They were also terrible on the road because the handlebars were so wide they sometimes got clipped by passing traffic. Akso the amount of times these lads caught their nuts on the gearshift was just crazy. They weren't a fast bike and were terrible for a long run. We once did a 30 mile trip and there was six of us and 2 of the riders had choppers but after only about 10 miles the chopper riders complained about back ache and arms and shoulders all aching. They never came out with us again because of this yes they looked cool but not really practical in my opinion. Nice to see them, very nostalgic but thats all. Some people who bought these were wanna be motorcylists and for the price these are now is the same price as a decent vintage motorcycle which is what i would put my money into and get so much more actual pleasure from. But thats just my opinion, enjoy yourselves its a very select niech but it all started the Street cred revolution.

Any events planned for 2024 ?

Probably much easier through the Rotherhithe Tunnel at this time of day with minimal traffic. I imagine that during rush hour the air quality might be pretty challenging 😂

Nice to see you're out and about in my end of the woods. To my shame I've not been to Dudley canals for 30 years or more. And yet again thank you for a fantastic video.

The state of some of those stretches of canal, it's disgusting considering the revenue CaRT get from subsidies, donations, fishing tickets and angling clubs, currently, they are getting over 49 million a year just from the government alone. some of the gates aren't much better either.

It's time they cleaned our canals out!
