      Fantastic achievement Josh i take my hat off to you young man, it's been brilliant watching you going around those different countries thanks for taking us along and now please rest young man take care of yourself cheers πŸ™πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ŒπŸ’ͺπŸ‘πŸ’―πŸΊ

      I know your keen on bird watching,i grew up not far from Bournemouth beach, great ornithology down there, the great tit was always there in the 90's, twas the trend at the time.
      Shimano freehubs used to run on two pawls and were reliable, I'd recommend dt swiss ratchet hubs, they are good, but dont get anything but dt swiss, other copy ratchets are simply not as well sealed and have poor ratchet faces, no good for reliability.
      Oh, and it's butser hill, not buster, it is a buster mind.
      Thanks for bringing us along with the trip

      Great riding and film making Josh. Your videos are inspiring when I can get out for rides, and great escapism for when life gets in the way.

      I'd love to watch a 'month later' video about this trip, reflecting on it all, you must have seen and experienced so much…

      A fantastic journey! Thanks for taking me along!
      A massive week done for completing it! That’s some hardcore biking right there! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

      Oooh, the tension of failing pawls… they are what transfer power… if they all fail, you are spinning your way to a standstill… Great series… need to watch the rest of this video to see if you make it… πŸ™‚

    16. @WalksInCamera on

      That really is a WOW cycle tour. Amazing. Well done for doing the tour (hub just permitting) and also for filming such great content too. Well done. Just great!

    17. @Justminiit on

      Thank you so much for all these hours I've had watching your journey through some stunning countries.
      I wonder what is being landed……

    18. @Capital194 on

      Your best trip yet, I don't know how you are going to top this adventure?! My wife suggested John O Groats to Lands end on a unicycle.

    20. @MilliesNZ on

      So so good., really enjoyed this series. Amazing adventure. Your videos are so well put together, makes them so easy to watch !

    21. @MCAforPresident on

      Well done Josh, we've really enjoyed watching these every Sunday. You've totally raised the bar now though in terms of epic adventures. Where will you go from here I wonder πŸ€”

    22. @MCAforPresident on

      The ride up Buster hill was hilarious πŸ˜„. Totally get the "now I have an audience" bit and not wanting to lose face by walking. Even though you're on the back of 4000 miles. Great effort.

    25. @simonwiltshire on

      Awsome ride out! Difficult one to beat, but I'm sure that you have another trick up your sleeve! You must have ants 🐜 in your in your pants because you never stop! Cheers josh, all the best.

    26. @prof.sterma on

      What an adventure this was! It was an absolute pleasure to watch. Thanks for coming to my hometown, and huge congratulations on completing this challenge again, respect!

      Next time you're in Sarajevo, Δ‡evapi, burek, or whatever you fancy is on me. Wishing you all the best, mate, and thanks again for such an enjoyable watch!

      Loved watching your latest adventure Josh. Great filming and beautiful scenery. Have a rest then take us along on your next trip……. can't wait!

    34. @tomozanne on

      I've loved following this trip, thank you for documenting it to so well. For those of us that can't get out as often as we'd like this gives us a taste from our sofas.

      Well done bonk man (sorry that's what my daughter calls you 🀣), really enjoyed your epic journey, have a nice rest and get out there for the next one πŸ‘πŸ‘
