@koko56. Yes, very sure. The helmetcam is an Oregon Scientific one and has got a very narrow field of view. The result it it 'looks' a long way down the road and you lose a lot of the impression of speed and everything looks twistier. The guys I was passing were doing 35mph or so. Garmin Edge GPS on my bike so I now the speed was right.
Yes, it was great fun and I'd do it again at the drop of a hat. That said, the social aspect, camaraderie and banter between mates is half the fun of course.
Thanks for the kind comments. The ride took us about 2.5 days. I can't honestly remember where we stayed the first night. I have a feeling it was Keswick. The second night we stayed at Parkhead Station which I can highly recommend. Terry and Lorraine, the proprietors were excellent.
Great video thanks for posting.

52MPH?
Are you sure that it was not 52KPH?
It's just that the road looks too twisty for 52MPH...
