A good, old bikepacking adventure across England on the Trans Pennine Trail.
A coastal route from the west coast to the east coast, riding across the Peak district, the Trans Pennine Trail offers 215 miles of cycleway adventuring. The question is, how long does it take for us to make it? If we make it at all.

I also show these travel videos, cycling videos, homoly videos, so this is my news channel too, yours is also new, I will cooperate with you, you cooperate with me and this will do a lot of good for both of our channels.full watch
Thanks for sharing your trip. Looked like a lot of fun!
Can I ask what gear ratio your friend was using on his hardtail? I'm thinking about doing a trip on mine (bought secondhand with the intention of using it for bikepacking). I ride it a lot with luggage on it (frame and saddle), but haven't tried it in anything 'major' whilst fully loaded ie handle bar bag. I'm a little concerned that the gears won't be enough for climbing (comfortably) offroad.
My gears are currently 2 (36/22) x 10 (11/36).
Really good video lads. enjoyed every minute.
Was it the raw milk that made your mate feel iffy? Great vid
I laughed out loud – raw milk = 💩! Great video, very relaxed approach.
If you do more videos like this, this channel will grow substantially. Easily 20-30k by Christmas
Also what helmet are you wearing?
More vids like this. If you want inspiration I love the Beard Bros videos and Jethro Jessop
Well edited with a bit of humour!
Definitely Stockport – with the Pyramid. Either that or Egypt?
Really enjoyed this. Happy trails! 🚲👏😁
Nice video and looks like you had a nice time. Of all the thing that could have gone wrong, raw milk would be last thing I would have predicted.
Thanks for excellent journey
Great video. Guys felt so sorry for you with all the bad weather I did Morecombe to Bridlington 2 years ago with my son had lovely weather thankfully.
Love the way you both kept smiling shame tou never got to finish.
Then the year later did coast and castles Newcastle to Edinburgh had dreadful weather like you peddling through puddles then I came off on a level crossing but carried on to Bamburgh the next day set of but inpain when we got to Bewick on tweed rain pouring down again so we binned it regretfully feel like I still have some unfinished bussines 😢
Poor Scott
I like your approach – just get on yer bike and ride. No advance booking required. Too bad about the raw milk: a friend of mine had a similar experience with it. No shame in recognizing when you have to get rescued.
Thanks for showing us your tour. Poor Scott, that's not a fun way to end up but certainly memorable.
Great channel Lew. I recently got into the Bikepacking scene and I agree with so much that you say and do. It is a real head space clearer and enables you to forget so much of the day to day goings on that we all do but don't enjoy!
I'm from the UK but currently working out in Saudi Arabia where the weather is a bit hot to be in a tent but it's just 3 weeks until I'm out on the road on my trip of cycling and camping my way around the complete coastline of Sardinia.
I so hope I can create a long format video of your quality as I'm very new to all this technology, whether that's filming, editing, YouTube and social media in general.
It's great when you find somebody with a channel you enjoy as it allows you to get tips on all aspects.
Keep the videos coming, fella. Subscribed!!
For those looking for a campsite just off the Cheshire Lines (start of the Southport end) there's a cracking little campsite in Lydiate called 'Hidden Corner Campsite' – also a very short ride/walk away from a nearby Starbucks, McDonalds and KFC, if that's you're sort of thing.
Sound advice on the bike and the kit, and the raw milk 😂
12:30 well said 👏 got a pinical £50 fb bike few bits added , £20 pannier rack and bag. Coast to coast on Saturday looking forward to it
Ima give this ago
That looked a proper adventure and good time 👍
I agree totally with your comments about kit, too many people on YouTube buying really expensive gear, having to keep up with what's new and trendy, then looking down on those with basic stuff.
I live just off the Western end of the T-P-T and have ridden the eastern end .
What I really MUST do is to hop on a train over to the east coast and ride home end-to-end.
And I will, hopefully in 2026 👍🤞
Great video, but not such a great advert for the cute little shed and their raw milk…
Great adventure. Safe travels. Mal.
Great effort well done 👏
Nice video
