Welcome back Josh, great to see you back in the saddle. Looking forward to more as the weather hopefully improves 🍻
Jersey looked lovely. But what an unlucky start to your new adventure Josh! Hope this helps a little towards the hotel costs.
Hey all it's been a while, hope you are all well, and thanks as always for joining me for this little adventure around the largest channel island, Jersey. This is going to be a three part series as I head into France, so consider subscribing if you are not already. Once again, thanks for stopping by and see you in the next one.

Lived in Jersey for a good few years so it was great to see some familiar spots in this video. Thanks for taking us along for the ride 👌🏼
There was a guy last few weeks doing a comedy skit on YouTube, walking from London to New Zealand, posting on YouTube each day… He got stuck at Dover when he found out that he had his wife’s passport. At least being stuck in Jersey is better then being stuck at Dover…
I was born on Jersey, {moved years ago) your vid brought back some wonderful memory's. As you said Josh, wild camping is not that easy unless your familiar with the island and its nooks and crannies. The weather this time of year can be brutal, with large atlantic storms battering its coastline, you were just unlucky. Hopefully France will be a little more accommodating.
"I know, France, it won't cost me more than two ferries!" Damn.
You must know Jersey now like the back of your hand! Enjoyable Josh can't wait to see the rest of your bikepacking adventure in France.
Wish I'd known you were over here, I'd have loved to have met up with you. And I could have offered some accommodation 😅
Great to see you back josh that looked cold over there look forward to your video in France
Been missing your videos fella. Looking forward to this and the next one.😊
I’m dating your sister, just felt I had to share
Thanks Josh, great inspiration for me to get back in the saddle!! Jersey looks awesome and i'm only 4 minutes in!
I keep meaning to visit Jersey, as one of my heroes the surrealist artist claude cahun lived there during the facist occupation. Combining it with my new love of cycling would be very cool
I usually have Google Maps open when I watch bikepacking/touring videos so I can better feel where people are. That shelter looks to be in a busy spot. Fair play for sleeping there.
What did you do for the week you were stuck in Jersey? I can imagine most of the stuff to do is outdoor things which isn't so great in a storm LOL
Incredible sunsets, great camera work, well done, looking forward to seeing the next episode, cheers.
Great to see you back on your adventures. Looking forward to France 👍
Well done! May I ask you what gloves do you use at 12:12?
For some reason I didn't expect St Helier to resemble or sound like the M25. Great to see the adventures again 👍
We went to Jersey last May for a few days – car to Poole, take the bikes off the back and went over as foot passengers. Had a great time, the Northern side has lots of climbs out of those little bays. About 40 mile circuit of the island, would highly recommend
Rough sleeping adventures 😂 legend
So good ! Like others that have commented, I lived on Jersey before moving to New Zealand, so many good memories in this video 😊 sorry that you had ferry issues though 😕
