This Was a Terrible Idea | H2H Bike Trip Day 1

🎥 WELCOME TO H2H: Hartlepool to Hastings — the most ridiculous cycling trip ever attempted… by puppets.

In this first episode, we (two gloriously unqualified puppet adventurers) launch our journey from the windswept Hartlepool Headland. With bikes we barely know how to ride and a plan we barely thought through, what could possibly go wrong?

👉 Expect:
– Puppet chaos
– British coastlines
– Questionable navigation
– And the beginnings of a VERY long ride south…

📍 Start: Hartlepool
📍 Finish Goal: Hastings
🚴 Total Distance: About 400 miles. Allegedly.

💬 Leave a comment: How far do you think we’ll make it before one of us gives up?

[Music] so we haven’t started cycling yet but we’ve decided that this is better than the coast to coast we’re going to actually step it up with the promo so we’re going to Radio Heart Harley they’ve agreed to stupidly interview us haven’t they James yeah but it’s not going to be live because they can’t trust us can they James me we’re going to be promoting the cycle on April the 6th and hopefully it’ll be getting out to a few more people to support the club um I want to set it up while we’ve been interviewed so let’s let’s see what comes of this what nuggets of wisdom come from our coast to coast and what we can carry forward into this so uh right now we’ve got my guests as promised we’ve got Adam Cook and James Pearson in who ah I don’t know whether they’re foolish or whether they’re the good guys but you know kind of um doing the amount of miles which you’re going to be talking about uh for a charity bike ride uh James and Adam good afternoon thanks for coming in today thanks for having us thanks for having us and uh you look a bit kind of scared when I said that as well quite frankly you know but you think maybe it’s that time where you’re thinking you know was this a good idea to do this yeah pretty much yeah we’re social for punishment when Yeah there’s a a saying isn’t it it’s very much a stupid idea that’s how that’s how phrase yeah stupid idea stupid idea stupid idea i’ve still got one break and I’ve not sat on me bike since last year when we done the coaster i bet the same way it’s going to go well isn’t it it’s going to go really Jeff coast to coast different how people do that in 24 hours just can’t see it but then where would the donations go you don’t really know he’s done it in 24 hours here yeah you know what I mean they didn’t see me on the They didn’t see me on the floor on the road after me legs caved in i was on the road with my legs in the air while James tried to get rid of my cramp i couldn’t move car pulled over asked if I was all right thought he was dead thought I was dead we stupidly decided to wild camp last year as well so it was uh what 16 kg something like that on each backs tents and whatnot but so we’re not doing it that this time this time we’re traveling light traveling light wrong wrong blue on radio Harley and one love my guests uh was sing along rather badly there Adam Cook and James Pearson bad I’m going to say I hope your bike riding’s a lot better than me singing but unfortunately two weeks later it’s 4:32 and We are about Well I’m about to go to James’ and then we’re going to set off from there to the Headland and then we’re going to set off this has to be the most stupidest idea stupidest it’s not even a word i don’t care i don’t care it’s not even a word it’s 4:32 in the morning morning all half

can just see the hills appearing on the horizon yeah I know and I know that we have to go over them yeah exactly at some point so as you can see we brought less gear than last year yeah it’s uh See we might not never mind what we didn’t account for was we’re going to be away for about five or six days so plenty of gear no idea oh twins oh twin flame this is two blossestively plum all year round

Bridge north Yorkshire yorkshire we’re out of room we’re in fuckure yorkshire keeping good timing sun’s out guns aren’t out but our suns are out our suns out jesus 4:00 start to me still tingling from that shot pre- arrival got you i’m thinking of the uh the ship there’s the last person who tried to cycle the hastens from Harley yeah at least we made it past this pit chester copper pot that was it chester copper pot the goonies he went hunting for the gold and the kids got further than him so we’re in a nice area here where wheels have been taken off on mobility scooters [Laughter] the soon the sooner he’s finished video calling Jess the sooner we can get on our bikes and and get out of here we’ve been here before haven’t we James won’t take the tent this time Adam no we won’t take the tent this time he’s strapping me up because I need something across me chest me shoulders are absolutely killing we are 20 mile then making good way good headway you know what they say no what does it say watch the nip get that bleeped just giving ourselves a brief rest pit says there route 65 York 63 mile as you can tell we’re going uphill right turn right then so we’re 25 mile in we’re in Stanby uh it’s lovely quiet rural and we found a bench and we thought you know what let’s treat ourselves to a sit down protein bar couple of nuts and then some nuts a some nuts some nuts some cream on your lungs i haven’t had sun cream on me lugs mate do I need to put cream on me lungs oh it’ll burn it’s the bit that’s out your elbow how can you tell i got trousers on you are never mind all work no pleasure pleasure i ain’t here to make friends big stepper big stepper hey bad guy heath ledger bad guy ready for whatever i’ll be front and center don’t fly too close to the sun your body chopped my propellers game arrogant but left out in the stretcher in comparison y’all know y’all couldn’t replicate it chilling in the desert i’m good on depression around me down look at what we found it’s a marathon not a sprint let’s go 100 miles to the clouds never coming down that’s the crown on me wearing proud show them what we found stick around with me hold it down look at what we found this a marathon not a sprint let’s go 100 miles on the ground to the clouds never coming down that’s a crown we got a map you keep vlogging uh-huh i’m fixing all right okay yeah sounds like a plan that’s the relationship we’ve got isn’t it you fix plan everything just to let you know Hastings Pier closes at 10:00 p.m do you still want to travel to here m Let me think google go yourself this isn’t fun this is one hell of an incline it’s kind of like wind pass from the coast to coast but get up get up get up because should be a nice 10 milesi at least downhill it’s not a bad view that at all that’s how far we’ve come up it’s only took us 6 hours worth it yeah you can see the uh monopiles at seating monopals at seating monopals at seating oh I can see the power station yeah there’s some monopiles at Satan that we come past this morning now here he goes he has a few pleasures in life but he’s going to go through this board fed well I mean it was all right it wasn’t impressive like [Music] [Music] you’ll see that in the background yeah see that path in the background yeah that’s what we’re going up it’s on about 32 mile got that hill to go up and go down the hill and then see how far we get this is always going to be the hardest day with the the incline like that so what do I have to say all James what do you have to say uh stupid idea loads of cyclists that are a lot quicker than us flying past us making us feel very very inadequate indeed um loads of roadkill loads of roadkill i mean but hey bonus is not us yet what do you mean yet positivity out of it are we then he can’t get up says him who was sat against a fence and can’t get up himself [Music] i’m not picking that [Laughter] up oh I can’t I can’t I can’t monkey can’t use tool come on oh well you as well how hard can it be you get your finger in on that out too this has taken the absolute Still got the climb to go we thought we had reached the summit about 30 times see that pass between the valleys we’ve come from there it’s mental this climb like this is bigger than the one we’ve done in course to coast shattered absolutely shattered we are begging that that is the summit cuz if that isn’t the summit that’s me time out yeah time out we’re going to be I wonder if delivery will drop beers off up here 3 hours later we are done in we finally got off that stony gravel path and we’re onto a road leading into a village which we are hoping has a spar or something or a greasy takeaway or a greasy takeaway one of the two and then we’re going to bed down but we’ve got to get along there first which funnily enough it’s an incline for some reason that gravel set us back about 20 mile no it absolutely does like James said earlier we’ve been violated by Google I think no it was us and said Mhm so we have been through one hell of a day it’s probably worse than anything we went through in coast to coast yeah I’ll back that you want to donate to see us in pain here we are in absolute agony my back’s broken i’ve got a stitch me is in absolute tatters genuinely feels like Elton John’s had a right go at it jimmy you can’t say that i can’t you can’t oh my god
