Wow !!! Always left smiling from you video's , you are the best solo bike packing youtuber by far 👍
As I sit here nursing my knee injury. I’m waiting for the time when I can get out on my bike, on my own in the country-side, for I know no greater joy than this. Then here comes a keep smiling video, to make my day and inspire me. As always you don’t disappoint. The music at the beginning is awesome and your narration so beautiful ( I think you have a creative writers heart!) I’m so sorry that you have been ill and so glad to see you getting your stamina back. It’s a crazy making scenario, for a free spirit to be cooped up with an illness or injury. Thank you once again for your beautiful adventure videos and Keep Smiling 😊😊😊
Nice vid' Josh – as-ever👍👍 I'm missing the traditional, 'Keep Smiling – Peace', sign-offs though!
You wouldn't be using AI narration, by any chance, would you???😉😉.
Great respect for everything you've done – keep up the great work – thanks. 😊😊
Fantastic beautiful ride🚲 at a lovely distance with some amazing towns and tracks 😁👍❤️❤️🇬🇧
another cracking video. always love watching your films
I rode the capital trail a few weeks ago in 3 days on a single speed.
definitely going with some gears next time haha!
This video is really making me wish I could be back on the the trail!
Thanks for this! Looking forward to riding Scotland again in the future.
Hello Friends of Nature… what a sporting activity while recreationally cycling through the forest, savanna and camping, apart from physical health, relaxation and healing you can get it… Greetings to meet me, Rudy Tutorial Outdoor from Indonesia 🚲⛰🏕💯👌👍🤝🙏
Great video, thanks!
Nice to see you in my neck of the woods. The wind is a constant here!
The comments say it all more eloquently than I can Josh and it's comforting to know there are likeminded people out there, even if we are all a bit eccentric to a lesser or greater extent .
Great film, great adventure from a great guy .
Thanks for doing this and filming for others to enjoy .
That wind was savage, rather you than me.
Unusually though, no Ginsters in this film .Looked like you could have done with one 😂
Great video like always ! No more Jones bar ? Is it your Bombtrack ?
Great to watch this with the evening dinner in the comfort of my own home lol. By the way, I've watched your dynamo video 2-3 times for inspiration, I'm looking to upgrade my own setup for a dynamo wheel + the rest of the kit that goes with. Do you still run the same set up, any changes you would want to make? It can get expensive, but I'm okay with buy once cry once.
Good stuff
🙂👍🏻
I thought ud disappeared josh lol, great video again as always , love the scotland trips, ireland next 👀
Oh man so good to have u in my home city of edinburgh man that bike ride around scotland looked awesome to do great video and well done for doin this one
Brilliant video, thanks for posting.
Wearing a back pack must be pretty uncomfortable! 😮
Love this, thank you for sharing. You capture the spirit of pike backing really well.
Hope you survived today in the Cairngorms, started my day with my bike blown over and mirror broken off, brutal weather. From the guy who met you at the coop in Braemar 👍
new subscriber from Kent….all the best
Great video Josh! Some much loved & familiar places for me, thanks for sharing Scotland. Good times! Superb ❤️ All the best. Sue (who you met at Tan Hill) 👍
Hi , another great video. Chapeau . Appreciate the bike you did this ride on doesn’t have aero bars , but what make of aero bars do you have on your other gravel bike please ? Thanks Russ
Skateboarders, surfboarders, snowboarders, love the boarders
JOSH love your vids and you make good entertainment and this is inspiring … do you use any other channels like ticktok … im about to just block youtube because of adverts and recommended rubbish ??????????/
Cracking mate, that's another one for the list!! That descent into Edinburgh looked lush. Ok on the train?
What chain is that you have, looks amazing?
Epic! Makes my commute into a headwind on the Waterlink Way look like child's play! Great editing too!
