HIKE-A-BIKE THE FOUR PASSES ROUTE

    A strenuous route with some epic gnarly downhills x4. Hard steep unrideable climbs that sort the men from the boys. A tough challenging day but all set in the most beautiful place with stunning scenery and a dip in the mountain tarn.

    MUSIC – Thank you to SLANEY BAY for offering use of their awesome track ‘The Snow and the Eclipse’

    1. This was a great alternative to your usual videos, it sorta combined hiking with a bike and I have to say, I was glued to my TV, another video I didn't want to end. I used to love my rock lobster mountain bike I had when in my teens back in the 80s. Though blue was missed 💙 great video as usual 👌
      P.s. some of the background music was epic 👍

    2. Wow that's what you call proper mountain biking, amazing footage gosh it made me feel tied watching you all carry your bikes up there but it must have been an amazing feeling on the way down, great vid.

    3. Crikey! I've walked that route before, and it was hard enough, but to bike i deserves respect.
      Just watching it seems you all need to concentrate 100%, and the slightest error could cause catastrophe, but you survived and how exhilarating it is to watch, As for the drone, a shame, but can be repaired or replaced. Much better that, than an accident.
      Bravo!

    4. Great technical riding. Not been on my MTB for around 2 years then we decided to do this route starting at Wasdale on 9th April. Weather was great. Ended up pushing and pulling the bike around. The descents are really tough in places and for the ups you really know how to carry a bike to make it bearable!!!!! The beers at the Wasdale Inn were most welcome…

    5. Absolutely amazing video you’ve done there and the route looks amazing as well. It’s next on my list after doing hellvelyn and Nan bield. I’m interested to know the outcome of your drone cos I’d like one myself. Did it break and can you avoid it crashing into the mountains like that.

    6. My legs are on fire just watching this 🤣 great effort to you all, I've climbed part the route you did , from Buttermere to haystacks and its a hard slog even without the bike haha , given me ideas for a rides to do aswell as the hikes in the lakes in the new year , shame about the drone , was it dead or could you be able.to fix it?

    7. Re visiting this video for a second time and its just as awesome as i remember it. Been out on my MTB today, nothing as gnarly as this, forest trials but great fun.
