@@nockianlifter661 No, they are both 250 exc-f 👍🏻

@ 👍 Do you ride them to the trails or use something to get them there ? I’m a relative novice to green lanes and have an XT250 which is great, but it’s just too small for me now I’m a bit more experienced. I have to ride to the lanes and the nearest is an hours ride away, so had intended to replace the XT with something more comfortable to get me there-FC Moto 450. I know it’s compromised for some of the more difficult sections - which always pop up mid ride, or right at the end- but I figured if I don’t have a bike that encourages me to travel the distance, then I’ll probably decide to leave it in the garage. However, every time I watch someone on UA-cam doing the lanes they tend to be on a 250/350/500 KTM and I wonder if I should go that route and if it’s practical to ride a couple of hours to a lane regardless of their obvious advantages off road.

@ we do ride to the lanes (legal requirement too). While there are some good lanes on our doorstep, we still put some road miles in. They aren’t the comfiest but we manage. Some miles stood up, some half sat on 😂 If you aren’t a member of TRF or GLAS it’s well worth joining. Happy riding and good luck with the new purchase👍🏻

@ I’m a member of the TRF, but tend to ride on my own or with a friend. I think “aren’t the comfiest, but we manage” is the issue. I like some comforts, probably would have toughed it out 10 years ago, but not now in my mid 60s I need all the encouragement on a winters day to face the elements. Thanks for the help and good riding.

The best way is to join TRF or Green Lane Association, that way you will get access to the maps. I don’t have the gpx files to share but it was basically Ireton and Ingleton fell. Happy riding.

Thanks, Andy! All the best

@@obionecoyle3295 Thanks Owen, much appreciated. I just need to get some more footage recorded now 👌🏻👍🏻

I know so bad…..Just turn it down

I appreciate your comments and I was not on a track day, I was just having fun on my bike, like most of the other people on this part of the course. I was keeping a very close eye on who was behind me when I wasn’t 100% certain of the road. Some parts are slow if you are inexperienced. If someone hit me at a slower speed then it would be their fault. It wasn’t a closed road with experience riders. If you want to ride at an average of 120mph get your name down for the TT next year.

@andysmotoringantics5305 absolutely hilarious response!

Going too slow, dangerously slow. If you get hit from behind by someone going >90mph, it doesn't really matter who is at fault if the autopsy doctor pulled a ducati headlight from your arsehole.

@@TeezerDriz😂

And this is why I hate most adventure bike riders. Every time over the mountain you know it's the adventure bike riders who are likely to cut the corners without looking in mirrors while going dangerously slow. I get that you did check your mirrors but not often enough. There were bikes who did not want to go past you as they didn't know what you were going to do. Mountain mile you couldn't decide what side of the road to be on, there was no need with the speed you were doing to take racing lines through the corners.

Felt mad to me 😝

Thanks for the advice. That’s the plan fingers crossed 👌🏻

Sorry, awful sound. My camera does not like wind. I need a new one 👍🏻

@@andysmotoringantics5305 the little camera/mount did well i thought ! ;-)

Totally agree with you, far too much wind noise. New camera needed for sure 👍🏻

It sure is 👍🏻

Hi Simon, hope you’re well. Crazy lane for sure. How can I add a screen shot or should I email you ?

Hi Andy, this looks really good any chance of getting the location of this one how do you find and plan your routes ? Is there an app you would recommend. All the best.

It is not a Green Lane you are not allowed there.

@@neilr6372 Do you have a Green Lane map ?

@@geoff4018 Hi, I used The GLAS map for last year (but it’s a bit more aimed at 4x4’s in my opinion) and now I’ve joined the TRF who have an O/S style map. I plot routes from these maps onto my own offline O/S map, so if there isn’t a signal I can still see where I am.

Hi @richrevit6360, thanks for your comment. If you join TRF or GLAS you get access to an online digital map with all the lanes on. It will also tell you if there are any TRO's (temporary regulation orders) to stop you riding them. I then cross reference with digital OS map and save the route. Hope that helps a bit 👍🏻

@@andysmotoringantics5305 Thanks Andy. I’ll have to join the TRF, think there is a group not too far away. Do they have the GPX maps or do you make them up yourself?

@@richrevit6360 Im not sure. I dont go to the meetings etc, i just use the online map to plot routes myself. I use OS online maps and not GPX.

We sure do 👍🏻

Sorry I don’t, i use the Green Lane Map. If you look on OS map it’s the junction of Sadgill / Longsleddale that you then ride up to Gatescarth. You do need to apply for a pass though via Cumbria Council website. Hope that helps.

Cheers Owen. With a bit of practice. More vids from the day still to come.... Top day out.

For me it sure was tough. For Billy it was easy 🤦🏻

Thank you 🙏

Cheers. Mikes new name is Biily (Bolt) 🤦🏻

Thank you. It is steep. Up soon is Part2 the journey back.

Thanks, it felt a bit dicey 😬

Glad you enjoyed it

An Akrapovic. Better sound in the flesh too.

Awesome thanks, I have the full Akrapovic system sitting in my shed waiting to go on my V2 Streetfighter when it gets here in a couple of weeks

Thanks for your comment. It is a truly wonderful part of the lake district.
