[Music] good morning right left uh left Travel Lodge cracking breakfast did a post day review cracking Hotel great stuffed BL pushy to beer wow so if ever you do this trip coming out to Sheffield it’s uphill all right I’ve not video in Sheffield cuz it’s a bit of a bit of a crabby morning oh gosh big road here so absolutely Jack up a ride don’t know where that’s going GL I’m not on it so we’re heading out towards R Valley route 627 turns into national socle network Route 6 and then uh then we go uh past the Thorp salvin Airfield Feld onto the canal I believe into Workshop into the Travel Lodge only about 20 miles and it can’t War be a pill like this it’s been a proper drag fantastic though fresh morning sun’s trying to poke through let’s ride over to the trail and see how we go wow that’s that was a that was a good as they say it’s knocking the power down a bit cuz believe it or not it came up there on full power and then I have to walk I don’t know if I mention this one I left home but i’ my baggage is luggage is 8 kilo each end 8 kilo front 8 kilo back oh downhill search so this is this is pretty much after after the climb out of Sheffield which is on actually it’s on Lovely cycle route bit twisted T it well well sign posted uh a little bit of Road section through housing the state then back onto CC route uh brilliant concrete Tac again you can see where the uh the roots are pushing through I don’t know uh what the future is for these cycle Roots as the uh as the roots damage the root as it were wow twisting up and down hill the ark is performing so I’m just looking a load of waste youque beer comes thousands of beer comes BL H thousands of beer cans must have been a rave sorry UPS side down I’m just uping the power cuz I’ve took my foot off the gas there’s the big road through there I guess that’s heading M1 ra I don’t know really sun’s coming so I don’t know what today’s going to bring not not a great amount to view I don’t think until we probably get to R Valley uh that’s very close to a disused section of the chest field Canal I don’t think we’ll I don’t think we’ll actually touch it if there you go ra the valley way look on the maps you can get up to the tunnel entrance on the chestfield canal it’s it’s an interesting little walk with some disused locks having said that I haven’t been for 30 years this sorted out the a rame barrier get the fence out that’s the proper result oh dear I think she said keep left that says differently let’s see what happens when I go through here should told me off if we going the wrong way is say you say no keep right now no Travel Lodge your side the bridge I’ve just seen a sign on the road for Chesterfield wa y take a urn oh I see well I’ve gone this way now so let’s go and have a look we’ll have to find a way across the road probably there a Crossing ahead we go over there [Applause] [Music] Shan jump the red light oh shell here we go you see she was telling me to do a U-turn and now she’s telling me to go about that way I’m going to put the GoPro down and bring you back oh God you me we’re still climbing I’ve but we may have done so oh 20 mi from Barnsley 6 mil from meow wall Workshop R Valley Country Park come out the city center as you can see best bit of sign posted National cycle Network there is so that’s a good drag I’ve had to walk again uh I turn it this way so you not in the Sun so I’ve been contemplating which bike to have the arc conversion for to do next because I’m selling the bromton electric I’m going to have a second Arc uh to keep continuity and uh the decisions now been made after that long climb out of Sheffield I’ll be uh having a six-speed [Music] converted so I’ve walked twice it’s a bloody good climb I had thought of fitting a uh 3944 double on this the other day before it came out I thought no I won’t bother because I’ll have to strip down other bits and probably change the uh rist Rockets I’ll do that when I get home but probably do it anyway now a 39 44 double on this cuz I really could have done with a a much lower gear so decision made and I’ve got one of those lovely blue cloud blue I think it is I get that convered 6 Speed so uh I get down to Arc sometime soon and get that in right we’ll proceed a little bit further I’ll have a quick drink of water I think when we get to R Valley we’ll be having a well-deserved Brew so I guess shrook Country Park I think we go through next or sherbrook Country Park catch you soon all right bit of bit of onboard camera now for me this is the national cycle Network at its best this is what it’s all about Adventure and uh Roots like this I think are brilliant I’m just taking the power down it’s a bit fierce oh this is a cracking route absolutely fantastic route but yeah this is what the national soyer Network’s all about although it did get confusing further back because they’ve obviously developed this park since the national cycle Network so this track is little used there’s actually a better compactor track to the left not sure where it goes to initially I followed the signs and commute was confused where I stopped at the uh Li photograph on the Facebook where I stopped at the memorial to the pit but I want to follow the na social cycle Network and that’s what I’m doing as tough as it is it’s on it’s Trails like these this is why I’ve I’ve got a spare tire cuz if I’m here when they been hedge cutting disasters can often happen right Hill just peing through there you make sure your car go by here we go this is where they come from that’s the MOs bypass apparently according to a lady I’ve just asked about directions fantastic bloody fantastic route heav going mine brilliant though time for brew guys we at R the Valley Country Park quite a quite a splendid Place War Stu’s Blown Away now there’s a lake sailing boats Lake uh used to be the kids here sailing in a mingy years ago oh fantastic fantastic Trail anyway I’m going to show you my trail coffee oops oh crack me hello can you see is pretty windy what I think we like the gas first and it works many time I’ve done this I need to find the uh ignition going to work oh oh have a look around ground’s very water logged looking into the sun aren’t we’ve got wind blowing here on the gas there we go how this finest French coffee so anyway so we’ve made it to rer Valley Country Park uh incredible confusion with Kut and the trail on the ground and the signposts and the preferred Trail for the tires but what I wanted to do was stick to the National cycle Network and uh it’s certainly on sections of it the national cycle Network little bit bit against the mzra bypass there certainly playing second or third fiddle to the trans penine Trail which doesn’t I don’t think follows the same route if it does follow the same route certainly there’s other routes that are better underfoot so why why they do something different I don’t know anyway I’ve St to the National cycle Network 627 67 and I believe probably now on Sixth now now almost on six so from here we find the canal the canal and uh well we don’t find the canal yet Thorp salving first and the uh little Airfield I think coffe is about to boil sounds though it is boiling I got the L off just bear with me no not yet oh dear so what we’re on day three of the tour Travel Lodge again tonight I’m going to sit I’m going to enjoy my coffee I like it to be made before you go but it takes about 4 minutes so I’ll enjoy my coffee I’ll bring you back I’ll leave you a look over the [Applause] lake it’s always worth it’s always worth a stop I know ref to uh make us think our lucky we are not to be on there four lanes each way heading off down south cool B battery change just under 10 miles which you probably isn’t you think isn’t so good I think it was 10 m just have to left R the valley as was going up the driveway uh but considering I’ve been ruling on full power at times I did actually ride it half a mile without the battery thought well no that’s not the point so I put the battery back on change the battery got fresh battery on that should hopefully get me to work so cuz I think I’m halfway and uh I’m hoping all the B Hills are done battery are not I’m glad I’m not on there really glad I’m not on there wow right guys onward and upward single track on the bromton I tried to now I can’t I’m a bloke I can’t do two things at once I can’t ride and uh I’ve got to ride and look where I’m going that’s two things third things just a GoPro I can’t do it anyway we’ve just left Wales not the country the village and we’re heading that way single track ridal way that’s cycle Network 6 at its best fantastic back in a bit well just come through hars Hill thought I’d stop at this though one of these what call finger post signs thp salv one and a half Workshop 6 and A4 Hart Hill gon Park Station South anston finger post signs they were the normal and it’s Kon Park rural District Council on top oh what a fantastic day to be out Village sign here and a bench got a coat of arms and it looks like they’ve got yire Rose cuz we are in South yorshire I don’t know if you go back through my videos you’ll find the three shers video you’re tring in the wrong direction and uh take a look at the map oh this was this was the area we did with the three shes which is uh darer Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire or meet at Crossroads uh that’s a video we did probably two years ago now anyway just resting the old plates of meat not for long though we get back on the road there’s my view brilliant absolutely bloody
