I got my tent down early in the morning ridding along Drake’s Trail down towards Plymouth from high up on Dartmoor. Was around 2am when i got to this tunnel on the disused railway track. I already been though many tunnels on this coast to coast route i was taking so this was no different. However more than half way though the tunnel i pass one the many side tunnels where i heard something hitting a metal bar. The side tunnels have been barred off. Only when i exited the tunnel i felt safe enough to say what happened.
Heard the bar being hit just after i ride past the tunnel at 1:10 on the video.
The Devon Coast to Coast Cycle Route is a 99 mile route from Ilfracombe in north Devon to Plymouth. It skirts the National Parks of both Exmoor and Dartmoor and incorporates part of the Tarka Trail, The Granite Way and Drake’s Trail. Runs for over half its length on off-road routes along disused railway lines

I'd be peddling faster😮😮
I am afraid I could not hear anything above the music. Your voice was shaking though…..😀
It was probably a troll, you know a real one not a keyboard type of troll.🧌 It seems everyone in hearing noises in the outdoors at the moment my YouTube feed is full of fake noises outside my tent type content pretending to be real. I ain't buying any of it all the nutters are in the cities not in the sticks! Nice one Richard 🍺🍺😎
RL can be frightening. If you are ever really concerned during a night ride/walk, travel at least 4-500mtrs find cover and switch off all lights (move without lights where you can, or use the lowest level possible). Wait 20 minutes and repeat if nothing happens (changing direction if possible), then repeat again until safe. If you hear or see anybody, stay covered and prepare yourself. 99% of the time it is nothing to be worried about.
Looking foward to the next part of the King Alfred's Way. Great vids as usual.
Spooky tunnel.
Probably a homeless person but damn that would freak me out 😂
