Yorkshire Dales MTB @ Tan Hill
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- This video comes from Britain's highest pub. The Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales. This was a killer of a ride in the heat.
Could have done with a nice cold beer at this halfway point. But unfortunately it was closed due to the lurgy

Those little falls often end up being very painful and dangerous. Trackers is a good idea and is see you are wearing a full face. I have my “find my phone” set up so the wife knows where I am. If I haven’t moved for a bit she messages me. What a beautiful ride and nice elevation. Thanks again
Thanks Calvin. Most places I ride there is no phone coverage. Find my phone will just be working on the mobile internet. With the inreach it runs on the iridium satellite network which covers 100% of the planet. No phone signal needed. 1 press on the SOS button and emergency services are activated.
Good point about phone coverage I don’t often get that far from civilisation. Sounds like in reach is piece of mind in your hand.
£15 per month for access to the iridium network 😬 expensive but worth it I guess if anything happened. Watched a review of it on UA-cam. A walker who had it stumbled upon a rock climber who had broken his leg. No phone signal. He pressed the SOS button on the inreach. Helicopter arrived in 20 mins!!
Trail-Finder lets face it . Its probably what some people spend on latte
Another good ride Andy, nice to see even the pros have a tumble now and again 😉
I’m far from a pro lee but thanks 😂😂. It was a nice soft landing though.
Great ride mate,in the middle of nowhere and back,never ceases to amaze the stunning views of our country,thanks for sharing 👍
Yes mate. Just wanna say thanks for giving me the inspiration to get involved with this incredible sport. I bought my first full suspension a week or so ago and went on my first lengthy cross country ride with it today, literally still buzzing from it.
What today made me realise was this sport isn't easy at all and takes a decent amount of fitness - it's easy to watch your videos and think theres nothing to it but when you actually ride a trail, do a few climbs and descents you really get to understand how tough and dangerous it can be.
I'm defo looking forward to getting more involved, going on more rides, improving my skills and working on my bike. Thanks again, please keep the videos coming, cheers mate.
Great message mate. I’m thrilled that you’ve been inspired by my videos and got into this amazing sport of mountain biking. Get out and ride as often as you can. And before you know it. You will be bike fit and enjoying it even more.
Great video Andy, really enjoywd that one. The views on the return from Tan Hill were stunning.
Thanks mate. We will have to meet up for a ride soon 👍
Sounds good mate
“the road climb from hell” - I’m thinking of doing that tomorrow lol. You’ve just appeared on my playlist this evening and I’ve enjoyed watching 3 of your rides so far.
Thanks John
Cracking scenery, probably one of the most stunning you have been on for a while Andy. Crazy that temperature and elevation to be riding. Glad you did :)
Cheers bud. Glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent vid, stunning views keep them coming Andy.
Thanks Brian
Cracking footage, stunning scenery, thanks for sharing. 👌
Your welcome 👍
Did this one today. Not the best idea after the amount of rain, over half of it was bog so very tough going but the scenery especially in the last 3rd thou was stunning so every cloud n all. Going to save it to go again in better conditions.
keep these routes coming. another one for my garmin thank you. doing ladybower tomorrow but turning right at the junction, doing the beast section. did it potato alley way last week .your routes are awesome. my fav so far was coniston one.
Hi Neil. I’ve got the beast planned for next time I visit the peaks. Yeah coniston was amazing. It’s my favourite part of the lakes. Many happy memories there
Always wanted to do a ride to the Tan Hill pub. Looks amazing. Fantastic views everywhere!
This route would be right up your street I think 😁
@@TrailFinder aswell as most of the other rides on this channel! Cracking vids 😁
Thanks mate. I watch your videos as well by the way 👊
@@TrailFinder nice one, cheers mate 😀 similar types of riding! 👍
Great video as always Andy, stunning views of the Yorkshire countryside too, it’s surprising how even on a relatively small country as ours that there are areas of wilderness like on the moors and you’ve shown it at it’s best as ever mate 👍
Thanks mate 😁
Trail-Finder I’d really love to go to and try some of those rides up in North Yorkshire but I’ve only got a bike carrier on my car, I wish I had somewhere to keep a van like yours but there’s no room on our road, I’ll just have to keep finding trails in the Peak District, I did a good one yesterday, brown knoll and chapel gate which I found on OSMaps 😉
Apart from the heat it looked a stunning ride Mate. A big one for 30 degrees so big thumbs up Mate. 👍
Thanks mate. Prob my toughest ride physically. I nearly gave up.
Thank you 👍👍👍
👍
Cracking video
I think I'm going to do this ride on Sunday
I rode upto tan Hill last weekend its only just behind where I live
Looks a good loop though plenty of tracks to spin the legs on.
The inreach is a good idea, I bet you could spend 15 a month on chocolate or beer 🤣 but that won't save your life 😉
I might invest in one myself as I do a bit alone riding in the middle of nowhere here.
Thanks
James
I definitely spent £15 on McDonald’s a week that I could do with cutting down on 😂 think it be nice piece of mind having it. Strava beacon is good. But my mum or girlfriend would have to do all the work in getting the help I might need. With the in reach I just press a button.
@@TrailFinder I've not had a McDonald's for about a year luckily they make me feel ill....
But chocolate I've weakness for especially a white chocolat kit kat chunky 😍
Like you say its peace of mind, you can get on and enjoy your ride plus your gf and mum can relax knowing that every notification isn't the one they don't wont to receive....
So the moral here is cut the junk food and save a life 🤔 😂😂
This is a brilliant area to ride, I've been here a ton of times. Even the road ride up to Tan Hill isn't too bad either, the Penine way return gets really boggy in the wet. Great on a lovely sunny day though exploring all the old mining tracks.
Looks to be loads to explore. Could do with an ebike 😁
Looked like you were off the radar for a while thank god for garmin, nice video was looking forward to seeing this video 👍🏻
Yeah was definitely out in the sticks on this one. It usually doesn’t bother me. But felt spooked on this ride for some reason.
another cracking ride old bean
Thanks mr giddings
I recently went to Malham Cove, and it was spectacular. Not the first I've been but this time I went to the very top. I did notice a few steep roads that might be worth riding one time. Btw great quality video!
Thanks 😁
Another great vid , nice route too and 1 I’ll definitely try
Are you gonna do this again this year I’m a local to this area and I’ve done parts of this ride it’s an amazing route
Looks a great route mate. You mention the in reach in the video, personally, I'd recommend a PLB such as the ResQlink or a Mcmurdo, I've nothing against Garmin (I use a Fenix 5 & the 120+. The problem with the in reach & most other subscription based devices is they go through a 3rd party before MRT/ SARS & there have been mistakes made locating people. A PLB goes straight to the rescue service plus you pay NO subscription, the only difference is subscription devices allow texting, which isn't necessary if you just need help, pull the antenna, press sos & job done.
Hi Steven. Thanks for the recommendation. I will look into the PLB. it sounds right up my street. I’m not bothered about keeping in touch with loved ones while out in the wilderness. I just want to be rescued if I have a bad crash. Watched loads of vids on the inreach and I’m not keen to be honest. Cheers bud 😁
@@TrailFinder no problem, I work in outdoor education & a lot of instructors I know use them over the subscription type & as they are dedicated only to SOS much less can go wrong, plus it means your only shelling out cash once. They are definitely a good investment 🙂
Great videos. What Garmin mount do you have ? Also what is that frame bag that appears on some of your other videos ?
K edge Garmin stem mount. Blackburn corner post bag
Wow.. looks like an amazing ride. Will definitely have todo this one... although may have to look at other places to park, not sure if I fancy leaving my van in such a remote location
You could start at the tan hill pub it’s self. Would be a nice thought throughout the ride knowing that you can have a nice pint and meal when you finish the ride
Trail-Finder ah yeah good point, look forward to this one. We did the Macclesfield loop the other week following your Trailforks link and was a really good ride. Good work on the videos👍
I've watched all your videos and they're all fantastic this one was stunning.( Buy the way I don't even own a bike)
😂😂Can I ask what you like about the videos with you not been a biker. I’d be interested to know? Oh and your seriously missing out on so much fun with not having one
The places you visit are great your commentary on the ride and scenery is brilliant and it's all really interesting. Iam interested in the MTB side of it as well . I haven't ridden a bike for year's (I'm 51 now) but am thinking about getting one.
Get one nick. It’s great fun. I’m 45 years old and i only started in 2016. Best thing I’ve ever done. Well apart from learning to ski 👊
Hi Andy, hubby and I enjoy your videos as we live fairly local and done some of these rides. Hubby would be interested in riding with you if you are ever stuck for company as he prefers the longer distance xcountry trails.
Hi delphine. Pleased your both enjoying watching and doing a few of the rides.
Hi mate
Sorry to bother you again
Is your garmin device a 820 edge ?
Yes mate
Andy, is there a GPX for the Tan Hill ride somewhere? Looks a stunning ride, must be done!
Yep there is 3 to choose from
@@TrailFinder The one you did two years ago, big climbs and one fall!
@@chriscummins1745 yes there are 3 gpx files to choose from
Another great video, been waiting for this all week thanks for the content 👍🏼
Your welcome mick 😁
Lovely ride, will definitely have to try this!
Just got myself a Hero8, do you run a protective case on your GoPro?
It’s a great camera. No I just run it naked. But I’m subscribed to go pro plus. So can have it replaced no questions asked if I damage it.
Cheers for the heads up on the new trail, can I ask which navi com you're using?
I’m using a Garmin 820
Cracking vid! Do you know any Yorkshire MTB clubs/groups? I'm Boston Spa way
Thanks mate. Not that I no of. I live in Boston spa. Maybe we should start our own 😂😂
@@TrailFinder How random! Well yeah, let's get it setup 😂 I'm pretty much a newb though and haven't progressed/justified emptying my account to a good full sus yet so I'm not sure how appealing that is 😂😬
Give me hot and sunny any day, nice vid 👍
Thanks mate
Any chance of a subscriber group ride Andy, if so how would someone find out about it?
Maybe one day. We will see
Your vids just get better. I've been thinking of doing this but where you went NE down William Gill to the road I was wanting to continue WNW along the "bridleway" direct to Tan Hill. Unfortunately, the satellite photos show that the route just disappears into a sea of heather. A recipe for disaster in poor weather.
BTW. You are fitter than me. You are far more skilled than me. But my falling off technique is superior to yours. I manage at least two a ride. Lol
That was actually the route I had planned. To take me straight to tan hill. But as you said it looks very vague. And after my little crash I thought I’d take the easy option and compose my self on the road. Ha ha. Great message mate. You will have to give me a lesson on how to fall with style 😂😂
Are garmins supposed to fall off ?? 😲
It turned on it’s mount when it hit the floor. Otherwise it stays put. I always use the strap though just in case
I guess it beats snapping off and is the idea behind the tether...
Awesome video as always dude! You mentioned the satellite app ...sounds a great idea, especially when out on the remote hills like you ride. Ive got the what3words app. Maybe worth looking at if you haven't already. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks Aaron. It’s not an app. Best way to describe it is it’s a satellite phone that you can text on. If you google Garmin inreach mini. You will see what I mean. No phone signal needed. Works on 100% of the planet using the iridium satellite network. Great piece of mind
@@TrailFinder Cheers man. Ill check it out. I dont like to say it, but getting older (40 last year) has made me more cautious when out riding, if you know what i mean. Still plenty of trails to be had tho yeah!
I know exactly what you mean bud. I’m now 45 and the reward is starting to be not worth the risk. But trying not to turn into to much of a p***y at the same time! 😂😂
@@TrailFinder fook me n there s me thinking your in ya 30s...I need to up my game haha ..on it from next week...watch this space haha 😎🤘
have you rode cannock chase?
Not yet
proper XC.
👌
Hello if you text 999 on your 📱 put yes it use SMS text service so the can locate you or use os locate,look like a right ride,when are doing skaddaw route
You need a phone signal for that. The device I was taking about uses the iridium satellite network. Which covers 100% of the planet. No phone signal required
