There's a raw clarity of the countryside in winter, the shapes of the trees, the grassless verges, all giving a different experience to this winter ride. I like the impromtu 'let's just ride somewhere' of this vid. I chuckled when your dad suddenly chimed in a little ways after the start - how many times have our group lost comms with a rider only to get them back after a switch-off-switch-on routine. Another great vid Jay. Hope to meet up in 2023 :)
When, exactly, was your trip? People tend to upload trips weeks or even months after the actual ride. Reason I ask is the roads don't look like January time, more like March or late Autumn. That road to kielder from Chollerford, through Walk is great, but you cut a lot of the Bellingham to Kielder route out. I understand why....I have gigabytes upon gigabytes of GoPro footage from last year to edit, and deciding what to keep in and what to cut can be difficult. Still, you kept in the Kielder to Slaughtree road where you join the B6357, the route to the right towards Carter Bar is, imo, one of the best motorcycling roads in the UK.
I have the same issue, you see the trip when it was posted but a lot of users forget to let the viewer know the time of year the tour was taken and it can often be up to a year after the trip.
Enjoyed that I will be looking forward to the next episode 👍
Cheers. As you know yourself, it's just finding time to edit!!

Absolutely mate, drop us a line and we'll sort something. Hope retirement is treating you well!
I love impromptu holidays, Whitby usually does it for me for a weekend. Great video as usual. All the best for the new year.
Thanks for the comment
We love Whitby when we manage to get over that way.
Have a great 2023
SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU SAVE AND RIDING AGAIN
Great to hear from you. Hope you are well :)
Great to see you guys out and about again 😁👍🏻
Thanks. How's the wife enjoying her riding?
@@baconbiketours9166 loving every moment…just waiting for some decent weather…must try to meet up with you guys sometime this year 😁

Great video, doing a borders trip in June so will try and check out Hadrian's Wall myself while there.
Hope you have as good a time up there as we did :)

It was late Feb last year. Work meant that editing had to take a back seat all last year unfortunately. Thanks for watching

Thanks for the feedback. It's a hood idea that we'll include in future in the description:)
Lovely roads around that neck of the woods. What drone are you using?
Hi matey. It's the original Mavic Mini :)
