You’re right. It’s is actually Westmorland now and no longer Cumbria since the desegregation April 1st 2023. Two halves now, Cumberland & Westmorland & Furness. Nice video as usual to kick start my Sunday morning 🙌🏼 ☕️
Wow gordon what a ride ,superb ,i was egging you on for that last couple of hours ,i did a ride a couple of months back a long up hill stretch with wind pushing back at me the whole way it was like cycling through sand and it does take the strength out of your legs
Great effort sir and another wonderful video. We do a similar ride, train to Carlisle (or Settle) and follow the railway line as much as possible to Settle (Carlisle) passing every railway station on route. It does involve some serious climbing. If I remember rightly there was only one set of traffic lights on the whole route once out of Carlisle.
Superb video Gordon, thanks. Everyday a school day, I wasn't aware of the Appersett Viaduct or the road to skip Hawes. I have been the victim of that wind of Widdale more than once, it seems like it's funnelled up the dale. Great content and presentation (as usual). I'm looking forward to the next one.
Cracking ride, Gordon and as always a great video to boot! Mallerstang area looked amazing and that 3 peaks section is a joy to cycle through (dare I say it even with a headwind!). I was feeling those last few miles with you but sounds like the legs have held up to a high volume week really well.
The B6255 from Hawes to the viaduct is a ride in itself,especially when Inglebrough comes into view.The wind direction put me off heading up that way on sat,just waiting for a decent day.Great video as always.👍
Brilliant ride (and video). Those lanes in Westmoreland look really scenic. Did you do the whole ride on just a yorkie and jellybabies or did you have a stash in your back pocket?
Marvellous route, Gordon. Brings back a lot of memories of the Westmorland 'fellside villages', the Mallerstang and the upper reaches of the Eden. Were you not tempted to get out of the sou'wester via Wensleydale, Bishopdale, Wharfedale, Addingham and either Ilkley or Silsden?
Wow, route was a good one can't beat being out in the sticks, and not one for snitching, but it's going to cost you an autograph cycling cap to keep my mouth shut….
Great ride and great vid. Like the new zoom in feature. Once again you hold our hands all the way, pointing out the landmarks and giving us our bearings. Marlestang…I imagine the name originates from when the Norse came over??

Eden and God’s own country in one ride 😊
Can’t beat a bit of three peaks especially with the viaduct in there 🎉

The knowledge you pack into your videos makes them very interesting cheers 👍

Wow, very envious of this one Gordon!

Cracking ride, love the facts, I learn something every video. Good week of mileage in the bag.

Question for you good sir, your eye wear can you share detail information about them please? Thank you for the video. Awesome as always
Great miles there. Well done in a headwind! 👏
Brilliant Gordon, especially the 3 Peaks panorama. Great stuff!
