Oh, good morning. Welcome to my channel. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? It’s been about a month since I last uploaded a video. Um, there’s no reason for that. Just pop them out. Just can’t be asked to be honest. Like, uh, anyway, today I’m going to go for a bike ride. And this is a big one. Big one for me. Anyway, uh, I’ll show you the route in a second. Um, but it’s going to be around 30 miles, which is a lot for me. So, without further ado, I’ll show you the um route I’m going. Just going to sit in the back of the car for now. Just so rest. This is where I’m going, right? If you can see that. Start off there where that dot is. Head towards past Nissan. if you know the route uh to the stadium of light. Stadium of light around that area there and then head to the coast RO. From Ruger I head north uh towards Seabburn Wburn and end up at South Shields via Marsden South Shields and then from South Shields I go inland go past the port of Tine and head towards Jara and from Jara I go across the river via the pedestrian time tunnel. Um, obviously you might if anyone local would know what that is, but if anyone’s not local, it’s just a little tunnel that goes under the tine, river tine. Uh, anyway, head through walls end and uh, work my way towards Newcastle training ground. This is not exactly the um area, but it points towards the Benton Training Ground. Anyway, Newcastle training ground. See there the marker and then from Newcastle training ground head towards Gosssworth and then down from Gossouth towards St. James Park home of Newcastle United Football Club and then from there I head towards um down St. James Boulevard and then over the and over the reguff then down towards team valley and along team valley and up the mountain gates hollow grain if anyone knows hollow green it’s obly it’s a steep steep climb and I’m probably about 25 miles in then it might be further actually this might be more than 30 mi and then from there work my way to roads reckon from reckon to eaten banks then eaten banks down a nice hill all towards the Milhouse roundabout if anyone’s just come off the E1 as if come from the metro center you turn off towards Washington you come to Milhouse roundabout and then from there I’ll go up towards Blackfell in Washington towards Albany to go to Concord and then my home. Uh, so that’s the route. It’s going to be a big one. It’s going to be a bad one. It’s going to kill me. It’s been misty out there. If I can get the drone out, fantastic. I’ll get the drone out. But, um, if not, I’ve got a couple of old videos I can show off the coast and St. James Park and all that stuff. Um, if I can add a couple more into that, brilliant. and I’ll take it with us anyway. But, uh, yeah, that’s the route. So, now I’m going to head off now. Uh, it’s not the ebike. Ebike’s dead. Then the water. It needs a complete rebuild, I think. Or I need a new one. I’m not sure yet. But, right, I’ve wobbled on for too long. Right, I need to get going. Hopefully, me batteries on me GoPro is fine. Um, last couple of rides out, I’ve had I’ve had a bit of issue with them. Um, battery is dying straight away. Not. So, I’m going to see if I can do this different way and try and save a bit of battery life. Right, I’ll see you soon somewhere along the track. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. N. [Music] Hey, what do you mean? [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] So there it is. That’s me first protocol. Um Senior of Light Sunland Football Club. It’s been like this all the way through as you can see um on the videos I’ve done. Uh, it’s just absolutely white out. Really white out, huh? Proper clogged in. Uh, I’d imagine the course is going to be worse. Uh, I still got to go down the course way, but but nothing to say here video. Uh, I’m on this today kind of dealt hard 7. Very nice bike. some uh gears and that on it though. Uh me batteries on me GoPros is looking good. Um I kept every pocket all the time rather than being on the bike. I think the battery has just been cold when I’ve been riding it. That’s why the batteries been dying straight away. Uh yeah. So I was going to take the drone up here, but uh obviously not not be able to see. I don’t know how high they didn’t could have gone 100 ft up like but don’t know. Anyway, leave here, head towards Roa and then along the coast there towards South Shields via Seaburn Whitburn. So hopefully I’ll get some views. We’ll see. Bring it back. What did that statue like? Heat. Heat. [Music] You should look for some So my next port call I’m a rocker and uh there’s a sea. Where is it? I hear it but you can’t see it. Sounds like the tide’s in as well. Right. Might as well just leave from here. Uh from Roa to Seaburn. We take 5 minutes along that way. Bring it back shortly. It’s a good video. I like it. Can I see a thing? Oh god. I’ll continue on just the mist might lift. There’s a se anyway. There’s a little lighthouse there somewhere. The sun. It’s trying to get out. Yeah. What are you doing? Boom. Heat. Heat. If you can make it out, I’m at the Suta lighthouse with Burn. Uh, see blue sky up there. But whether the cloud’s going to lift or not, I don’t know. tired. Done. All right. So far, it’s uh 12 mile 12 and a half mile like just over 12 and a half miles. Hour and a half. I’ve stopped the fine up. Uh so yeah, heading that way. Battery went off there. So, let’s move on. Oh my god. So fast. That shows you how bad this mist is. Marsden Rock is right in front of us. Can’t see a thing of it. My god, how thick is that? It’s basically there about 30 ft in front of us. 30 50 ft in front of us. And it’s massive. Goes all the way up there. My god. Mroto. You see the waves flashing there. But uh just come from along there. Um battery died on his day. But uh come along there. I didn’t film it like but all I saw was just flowers, memorials along the uh fences. Obviously people’s jump from here. Uh let’s go all the way along the for Samaritans and stuff like that if you need help in that. Uh yeah. side was just flowers. Yeah. Um if anyone’s in trouble, you know, just get in touch with the Samaritans or talk to a family member all seek help. Yeah. Sad. Just like graves, just memorials all the way along. Going for a couple hundred meters. Yeah. Anyway, leave here. Head towards South Shield from here. I’m feeling all right actually to be honest. Um, physically Right, I’m out shields. Um, still feeling all right. Done about 17 mi now. Uh, life boat. Just been past the fair and this heading this way is the town center. Quart to 10 to 10 in the morning obviously. Yeah. Now South Shields Town Center and head towards Jara over the time um on the pedestrian tunnel towards Benton Castle. Hey, carry on. Heat. [Applause] Heat. Heat. Heat. I’m in the lift for the pedestrian tunnel. The stair lift thing’s off at the moment. It’s bulleted. It’s barrier shut. So these lifts they go on forever. I just wanted to open the other. Oh, that’s quick. [Music] There. It’s going down. Well done so far. Nearly 22 miles. I like this leg. It’s really good. Down there. [Music] Well, Wall’s end. I’m in Wall’s End trying to find the coast road. The 10 1058 coast road is to is to me right somewhere. [Music] All right, I’m at Newcastle United Training Center. You can see through see through the trees there, the players are all training. Got a match tomorrow against West Ham United. So the train today, what a glorious day now. Uh me before me GoPro keeps on going off again. Uh I’ve done 28 miles. I’m at the training ground. Newcastle United training ground. I’ve still got potentially 20 miles left to go. 30 mi I said. Oh my god. Yeah, we could potentially got 20 miles to go. My thighs are absolutely burning. So, the United players are out there training. Uh, I did a bit of video on on me phone like, but no, not the greatest. Like, it’s all buried off, not like it used to be. Right, I’m going to head along back along there towards the the training ground entrance. Few kids knocking around and head towards Gosssworth and then Newcastle United St. James Park. Knacking this one. Ready. Ready. Heat up here. Heat. Heat. Currently Wildland Brewery. Uh just on the out to go to the city center now. Right. I’m heading towards Shira’s bar. I need a rest. 33 miles and just over 3 hours. So I need a rest. Absolutely nugget. The man RVI hospital seems park ahead. Right, that’s J part now. Want to bypass that point and I’m going to head straight home and go for a point with Andre instead. Got a grand idea. I am not a light bush. There’s this dock. St. Jesus Park. All the new builds like they’ve been there a few years now like but still look pretty impressive. Newcastle breweries used to be there. Right, I’m heading home. Right. I took a detour. I am I heard it from uh Richard Bridge. I’ve gone towards Kids Head High Street. I’m going to go Sheriff Hill up there. the last uh main obstacle. I’ve done 36 miles and uh I’m absolutely ruined. So, I’m going to walk up here like I’m I’m tired. Walking up Sheriff Bang and then hopefully ride the rest of the way back from there. 30 35 points 7 milesi I’ve done half up Sheriff Hill. Absolutely done in. Oh my god. It’s not me legs. It’s be your shoulders by carrying carrying this bag. About 15 kilos. Oh my god. I’ll get home though eventually. Point afterwards. Just have a little breather. I’m struggling. I’m struggling mentally to get out this hell. It’s not me legs. It’s me mind. to be body. It’s um I’m struggling mentally to get up top of here. Like I’m really really struggling. I don’t know why. Oh god. Physically I can do it. It’s just mentally. Body’s telling us I can’t do it. I can though. Keep pushing Stephen. Heading towards I reckon no my mental state is on this bike ride. Your body see I can’t do this. It’s all downhill just about now. But that’s that bank there sheriff hill was mentally draining. Right. I’m I’m at 18 banks now. Uh I’m almost I’m on me last hill now and the rest of the way is home. On the way home is just downhill. So Oh, that’s a relief. Uh and mine hasn’t been the best today. Like my head’s been telling us I can’t do this. I’m currently on 38 miles. It’s going to be about 40 41 miles by the time I get home. But this me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me mentally draining this one. It’s being good though. Right, that’s the last bank done. It’s all downhill for now going that way. Uh, thank you for watching my video. Um, all five years getting to the end. Thank you. Um, it’s been a tough one this one mentally. The 40 miles I was only expecting to do 30, but me body was telling us I couldn’t do it. Um, I’ve been walking quite a lot than 10,000 steps in this in this in this ride. Uh, I’m not there mentally at the moment like people people’s really doing me in and that. I’ll come through it though. I know I will. One positive thing, I’ve lost a stone weight this year. That’s one positive thing. I’m uh I’m at but the fact that people’s some people’s doing me head in really really drive me insane. Um I will rise above it and and uh I need to get out more, don’t I? This is the first uh video I’ve done for a month. I’ve uploaded a couple like the old ones up. But uh like I said, thank you for watching all the way to the end. Uh sorry B. I probably spoke. Um, see, I just want to do this ride and get it done. Uh, hope it’s come out all right. But now I’m going to get home. I don’t think I’ve drunk enough water because I’ve been drowsy. I’ve been sleepy and I don’t know. But, uh, there’s a bottle of cruise camp on me fridge. I’m going to have that. And then me and going to go for a pint. Yeah. I didn’t have that pint before when I went to I was going to go to Sharers. I couldn’t be bothered. I just wanted to get home. So, yeah. So, thank you for watching. Um, subscribe, comment, likes, and all that all that kind of stuff. Share it as well as well. Uh, it’s it’s kind of rude. Um, from mine, Washington to Nissan, you couldn’t see all the way to South Shield, so I’m sorry about that. Uh, I did Nissan, Steen of Light, um, Roer Beach. Why? You can see it uh with burnt south shields. Uh Mars, you couldn’t see Mars Rock at all. That’s that’s crazy that probably the first time ever that um pedestrian time tunnel uh Newcastle training ground. Bit of a puff getting there. I took a couple of wrong turns. Uh training ground um into Gosworth past Jasmine Dean without going in it. uh town Mo and Brewery St. James’s Park and then I took a detour. I didn’t go to team Bali. I decided to go Sheriffell instead and that really drove me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me mentally and then up to Rekitton eating banks and where I am now I’m just I’m in Washington and just above Blackfell. So now I’m going to head home and we’ve got about mile and a half to go and I’ve currently done 39.78. Oh, very good. Crazy. 30 mi there. Right. Thank you for watching. Um, I’m going to crack on now and get home. See you the next one where that next one could be London. I’m going to We next week seeing Newcastle United play. I’ll do a video and I hope it’s good. Hopefully we’ll bring the trophy home this time. Right. See you soon. Bye-bye.
