Me and my mate Simon spend a few days cycling in the North Pennines, staying at The Sill YHA near Hadrians Wall.
On our way up to the accommodation we tackle the iconic climb of Great Dun Fell. Join us to see how we get on.

Great video, thoroughly enjoyed it. After doing the C2C 10 years ago, I still have vivid memories of North England, dry stone walls, the countryside, the pubs, brilliant!! Cheers from North Waikato, New Zealand.

Great video, three of my favourite things cycling, great scenery and the High Flying Birds. 👍

I love that you go out for these multi day rides. Definitely something I want to try, but with shorter distances. The YHA looked great, and I will be looking at using them.

Been looking forward to this one since I saw it on Strava. Knew you'd have filmed it 😊 YHA are fantastic value and you always do well with them. Beats the tent when its chilly. Another great vid and a great achievement.

That was a great weekend 👍. I forgot I was recording when I nearly came a cropper approaching the summit of Great Dun Fell 😂

Ah, it’s great to see this video. My new bike arrived this week, and I’m so excited to get out on some of the routes you’ve posted. Superb!

Superb. Great to see another vid. On the downhill bit you really obtain a perspective of that climb and I can only think of one word to describe it, brutal.

Hi Dave!!! Super glad to see you.
I probably say this every video- but you sure have a knack for biking in the places with the most amazing views.
Nic e walls! The one section there looked as if you’d never be able to find one of our ridiculous American automobiles through.
Great to see you! All the best from Lake Erie.
