In this ride I’m doing what I do best as a self-confessed gentleman of leisure—getting out on the bike and following the River Witham in Lincolnshire, which is properly high at the moment. The whole point of the vlog is the simple joy (and slight sketchiness) of riding along a river when the water level’s up: you get that moody UK backdrop, the swollen river right beside you, and a reminder that conditions can change fast. It’s not a big epic expedition—more a real-world UK spin where you take what the day gives you, keep an eye on the path, and enjoy being out. If you’re planning a similar route, the takeaway is straightforward: high water makes familiar towpaths and riverside tracks feel very different, so ride it steady, give yourself time, and don’t force anything if it’s looking flooded. And yes, as always, there’s the usual Paul Green Cycle Vlog vibe: cycling, a bit of gear chat, and the kind of ride that’s as much about getting your head right as it is about the miles.
