[Music] Good morning. Uh we are going on an adventure. Uh we’re going to be cycling 65 miles to the aisle of Sheffy. Uh where we’re going to be camping looking over the tempest. It’s going to be 30° today and um it’s going to be a hot one. Um, it’s exploring somewhere I’ve never been before, but uh really looking forward to having a cycle and exploring some new areas. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Yeah. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. N. [Music] [Music] Now we’re about to stop now and towards the [Music] [Applause] [Music] We are 4 hours in of our 6-hour cycle. Um, just coming up to 40 miles. Um, just been going down some really crazy nice cycle paths, but next to the most insane motorway. And now we’re on this what can only be described as I feels like we’re in the wild on a purpose-built cycle route just for just for cyclists. No cars, no nothing. I think there’s a the motorway is just over the hill. Heat. Heat. [Music] Such a massive contrast from coming out of from north London going through central London coming through the suburbs um and uh now kind of feeling like we’re getting into the wild and into what is the nature reserves near the aisle of chippy. [Music] Welcome to the aisle of Sheff. So, we just arrived in Isle Shepine. It is windy, but it’s sunny and it’s warm. It’s lush. [Music] We’re nearly at the campsite. Got two miles to go. Now, on some nice green single track roads again. And uh yeah, ready for a bit of a rest, bit of a bit of a wash. It’s extremely hot in this way. [Music] [Applause] [Music] So, we’ve had a great day today. Uh, we cycled 68 miles, um, which was the longest ride I’ve ever done in a single day. Um we uh yeah it was a early start 5 am um from North London and then cycled down through central London. Um I set off early because I didn’t want to be stuck in all the rush hour traffic uh cuz that’s just never nice. Um but yeah uh got to the campsite around about uh 3:00 uh and set up camp as you can see here. Um, I’m really really looking forward to getting some Shards and I have eaten um and had some decathlon uh rehydrated meals which were actually really really nice. Definitely recommend them. Um but uh yeah um tomorrow I don’t know what the plan’s going to be. Uh we may cycle to Canterbury. Uh we may cycle back to London. Uh I’m going to make a decision in the morning. But uh yeah uh thanks for watching. Uh please like and subscribe to the channel uh and comment down below. Um let me know about your adventures. Be great to share everyone’s experiences and um yeah, I’ll see you next time. [Music]
