Hervorragend! Die Kommentare sind genau richtig dosiert und die Fotos erstklassig, um die Tour perfekt zu veranschaulichen. Da ich einige dieser Strecken selbst schon mit meiner Frau gefahren bin, wissen wir den Aufwand an den kniffligeren Abschnitten sehr zu schätzen, besonders mit einem voll beladenen

Toller Bericht, Nicola! Auch wenn du vielleicht mit deinem Einsatz nicht ganz zufrieden warst, ist das Wichtigste, dass du dich getraut hast, als viele andere es nicht getan hätten, und dass du Hope erleben konntest. Super gemacht! 👏

Lumpy! Ich musste in den Cairngorms ein paar Flüsse durchqueren... nasse Füße, nasse Socken... Die ersten paar Male habe ich sie ausgezogen, aber schließlich aufgegeben! 😁

I set off at sunrise into damp foggy mist, full of anticipation for blue skies and sunshine….😅 I knew I wanted to spend all the daylight hours outside, and I’m so glad I did that, but I would’ve really appreciated more sunshine! 😁🥺 Enjoyed hot chocolate and mince pies at regular intervals along the Tramway Trail 🥳🧑🏼🎄🎉

My feet were swimming in freezing water, and I felt sooo tired, but I cycled as fast as I could to warm up! Bonked after the canal and had to shovel chocolate biscuits into my face to get to Melbourne 😅

Left Castleton YHA is a downpour, regretting all my life choices as I steamed up the NCN and down into Hope 🤣🥶☔️ I’m not sure what I was expecting when I arrived in Hope, maybe a sense of accomplishment, a small fanfare from a band to cheer my efforts, or a crowd of well wishers to applaud my ride? Ego centric much! lol the reality was that I arrived in Hope, found the Adventure Cycle cafe, sat watching my bicycle drip forlornly outside as I sipped a Diet Coke and tried to reflect on my adventure. I felt a bit underwhelmed if I’m honest, and I could really have done with more challenge? It felt a bit too easy? I did think a lot about what Hope means to me, and I think I’ve concluded that for me it is a positive state of mind to be hopeful. I am hopeful that I will Continue to ride challenging routes, that I will get through winter riding, and that no hill lasts forever.

I woke up an hour before dawn, packed up and brewed coffee with legs dangling out of the tent porch. I realised at this point that I had very little food to eat, so I rationed breakfast and said a prayer to the adventure goddess that the campsite shop at Beech Croft Farm would be open 😅 The ride over the tops was entirely in thick cloud, huge puddles on the trail to wind my way through. I bought a quite frankly ludicrous collection of snacks at the campsite shop, and set off feeling like this was a good way to set off into the wild on unfamiliar territory. The great north trail after Chee Dale in amazing!! Some excellent hike-a-bike sections and gravel trails that should be classed as boulder trails. There were a few occasions when I felt overwhelmingly temped to take short cuts, but my sense of adventure won every time! Scariest moment was facing a section of trail with a herd of bulls on it, jeeeeez! I think I was just lucky to make it through in one piece!! Decent in to Castleton via Cave Dale….. holy moly! I seriously questioned my sanity and choices at that stage! lol “my feet got wet” doesn’t begin to describe what it’s like to haul a bike down a steep rocky stream! 😬😆 Stayed at YHA - met some brilliant folks and had dinner with them all, swapped adventure tales and laughed all evening 😃 YHA’s are just the BEST!

Ashbourne to Hurdlow on a megamix of the Tissington Trail, High Peak and NCN 548. Rode to Hope was an idea that formed a while ago when I experienced SAD. The clocks changed and I panicked about the lack of daylight for rides and adventures. The Great North Trail has been a fascination for years now and I finally plucked up courage to cycle further along this trail I have explored in my mind for so long. On the first day I cycled as far as the Royal Oak pub at Hurdlow and camped there for the night. There were blue skies, and a tailwind took me all the way up the hill! I was SO COLD 🥶 seriously considered hiding in the toilet block next to the radiator
