Day two of our Leeds to Liverpool Canal ride, we set off in sunshine but it will end up in the rain. We also navigate those cycle proof gates in the Wigan area and the tow paths are starting to feel a bit rough and cut up in sections.

That was a bloody good idea to stay in the premier inn, sometimes its better to conceed a battle but win the war. Constant wet weather camping as you know is miserable, so onwards and upwards to day three, where things look very sketchy, looking at the preview. You both seem not to get down hearted, which is an attribute, that sometimes I lack when out on small adventures on my own. Shared experiences are almost always better, no matter the weather. Thanks as always for sharing. ATB Big Dave.
I don’t blame you as you say it’s supposed to be a holiday-always taking a chance with the rain, I’ve had to bail in August with the rain bitta comfort never hurt anyone
Adapt and overcome. A night in the hotel. You guys are roughing it:) As for bike packing and riding pushbikes, you'll never catch me doing that:) Not in a month of Sundays…. Come to think of it has there ever been a month of Sundays? I'd better get my bike packed and head out somewhere:))
Ah day 2😏, bloody awful😂, this middle day really added to the whole adventure, I know it can be seen as wimping out, but it was a nice thing, slap up meal, hot shower, nice bed, back on the trail day 3, not planned, but there’s a lot to be said for spontaneity on an adventure ⛺️🚲👍🏻
lol at least the crap weather on day 2 ended in luxury 🤣 whoever designed the gates obviously haven't heard of bike Packers 🤨 18 degree's Carlisle Tuesday Dave ☀️
Great account of Day 2 of your trips lads. Good choice on the Premier In too!
Those canal paths looks dangerous for cycling ,this climate change has knackered our weather system.hope for better weather great videos well done you too.
Ah, the paths from hell! I know that section its fairly local to me.
Ive done the Skipton run many times at least 10 mile of mud to pedal through on that canal ..thought u was comin through Worsley but u took the more northern route of canal
Those gates at Wigan going up to Top-Lock are going to be open as part of a trial as there are more cyclists using the newly laid canal paths in the area. I have some troubles with British Cycling Guided Rides where a lot of riders have E-Bikes & can be difficult to get through them.
Just watched 1 & 2 looking forward to day 3.
Like you video you are both natural and not full of yourselves like some other videos.
Keep up the good work guys.
Two good northern lads down to earth love the videos. What are you filming with?
