Third of three episodes describing sections 7 to 11 of The Durham Cow’s Palatine Pedal multi-terrain cycling tour around the pre-1974 boundary of the historic County Palatine of Durham in north east England. Total distance for the route, which has a total of 11 sections, is 190 miles/306 km with 11939 ft/3639 m of ascent. I rode it on the 17th July 2024 as a 300 km DIY Audax to be completed within 20 hrs. As well as being a significant cycling challenge the route showcases many interesting sites and features found along the ‘old’ County Durham boundary.

Love the rides around my old stomping ground, and all the detail.. excellent
One small point, you quite often show corner after corner very quickly after each other. It's an uncomfortable watch for me so I assume for some others as well
Amazing. Well done, particularly given the amount of technical urban infrastructure that you had to deal with.
The cycling history man strikes again…..brilliant 😁👍
I so enjoy your videos please keep up your good work
Really enjoy watching your rides. They are an inspiration for my own (humble) riding. The descriptions of the monuments and places of interest really add to the viewing pleasure. Thank you and keep riding!
Brilliant, thank you once again.
Enjoyed the final episode, a lot of familiar places, and it looks to be a great route. Thanks for sharing 👍
Mate, I've loved this series of videos on familiar to me landscapes. I was down Teesside way a couple of months ago along the riverside over that barrage and up the cycle way to Shotton Colliery, I was going to do the bit you did buy been on it before. Keep up the excellent videos. 😊
