Hikes ‘n’ Bikes

About the channel

Welcome to the channel — my name is Simon. I’m originally from Rochdale, Lancashire, and now live in the East Midlands. This channel is all about outdoor adventures in the UK, featuring hiking, road cycling, mountain biking, camping and even kayaking. In my videos I share routes that you can follow yourself — whether you’re looking for scenic walks, cycling routes or MTB trails. Most adventures take place across Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in the East Midlands, with regular rides and hikes in the Peak District, plus trips further afield such as Majorca. Along the way, I also explore local history and the origins of place names, adding context and stories to the landscapes we travel through. If you’re searching for UK hiking routes, East Midlands cycling routes, mountain bike trails or even camping inspiration — you’re in the right place. Subscribe and join the journey.
