A decent ride in the wilds of the Lake District has been on my mind for such a long time, and I had so many offers to be shown around.

I ended choosing James Vincent to show me around first, as we had spent time together the weekend before, whilst shooting the Highlander 2 for Deviate.

I left the route completely up to him, with a heavy emphases that it had to be fully legit, as I was filming for YouTube.

I reckon he got it pretty spot on.
