Three day bikepacking trip through the Cheviot Hills that straddle the England/Scotland border. Lots of Type 2 fun due to the, um, variable weather.

Great video as usual
Keep them coming
It's good to see you back Gareth. The Cheviot Hills is where I started my backpacking 'career' as a teenage hillwalker, and so they have a special place in my heart. I still regularly walk and cycle up there, I enjoy the peace and quiet that can be found there.
Great video and I always appreciate the accompanying history lesson 😀👍
Your video was recommended by youtube; good stuff, keep going!
1st video I've watched of you on your travels. I have walked the Cheviots for over 20 years and know how hard it is on wet days – pretty miserable.
I think you're nuts to do it on a bike 😂 but shall be subscribing and watching more of your videos 👍🏻
Love the videos and really enjoy your mini history lessons. Fab stuff. As someone else said, being wet and knackered is standard Cheviots-ness 😊
Very good as usual! Do you have a GPX you can make available? Also what camera do you have – you mentioned a Go Pro but you seem to have different mounts, including a handlebar and chest mount is that right?
My home ground, back garden😉👊❤️❤️👌🇬🇧fantastic to see my haunts and that you enjoyed the ride, considering the rain😢Stay safe and sound mate 😊
Very inspiring in some very grim weather – many thanks for sharing!
