You've come such a long way. Your filming and editing is amongst the best of all solo outdoor sports channels on YT, not just cycling.

Josh… your development in cinematography, overlay and colour transitions are amazing. You clearly spent time on this vlog and it shows. Absolutely stunning. Happy 2023, your travels inspired more than you know.

second time I watched this video. Love the sequence the last five minutes: Down hill, back to home, relaxing by the sea, overlooking civilization once again. And then, another brief reflection of being on the trails, sunrise to sunset and what joy and space that was, that still is. Thanks Josh, Lovely.

Thankyou for these. Its hard sometimes to hold onto that moment when your on a solo ride when you just stop and grin in the middle of nowhere as you absorb the beauty and enormity of the task in hand, its a very soulful moment that I can't explain to others. Your videos encapsulated perfectly.

This channel should have a heck of a lot more subscribers, there are people walking around Disneyland with half a million subscribers, ridiculous. And the scenery in these videos is beautiful and the extreme hard work this man puts in is astonishing.

Here he is again. My favourite videos ever. I think I’ve said this on everyone I’ve commented on but I get so emotional for some reason when I watch your videos mate. They are by far the best and I absolutely look forward to every one. In comparison, I’m a huge David Attenborough fan, his programs leave me feeling the same way. I adore seeing nature and all this beautiful world has to offer. I don’t get out as much as I’d like as I’m a full time carer for my wonderful mum ( I wouldn’t change that for the world) we used to do many trips like this when she was able. I’ve done many trips like this solo too. It’s the only time I ever feel alive and full of hope. That’s how your videos make me feel. The accompanying soundtracks you have are so beautiful and peaceful. Even hearing you talk is peaceful. Thank you for sharing your stunning journeys with us. They really are some of my favourite things to watch and they too give me a feeling of hope and I find them so inspiring. So THANK YOU ❤

Hypnotic, stunning and exhausting (for you) and a pleasure to watch - the UK is a beautiful landscape. Thanks for showing us what we could see if only we venture out. How many Ginster's, pasties and pork pies did those journeys take I wonder.... Well done

@bombero3368 7 ай бұрын

I am amazed at what it takes to compose your videos - riding to a spot to set up the camera; then ride back the way you came so that you can ride passed the camera; and then stop to go back and get the camera; and then do it over and over and over again. And then…edit all these snippets into one seamless video. Amazing! Well done!

Amazing video it really captured the beauty of the landscape, i took a quick spin up to the tumble from pontypool today the view was amazing but so cold the battery in my phone died so no photo and the moment was lost forever. Seeing you channel rely inspires me to just get on the bike and go. Can't wait for the next video.Happy travels.

Brilliant video. Thanks. I watched it on the big screen and put my feet up. I kept thinking - where’s that? Do I recognise that bit?? If you had the time (what?), captions showing the locations would solve that problem for me. Then I would be able to switch captions on & off whilst viewing second time round…. I’m just going to have to watch all the individual 2023 vids again😂😂

Truly inspiring Josh thank you. Is it for weight saving reasons that you don’t take cooking equipment? Your mileage is immense so that would make sense. 👌👌How do you donate?

@KeepSmilingAdventures 7 ай бұрын

not really although that is a benefit i guess, i have carried cooking equipment in the past and i just found that i never could be bothered to cook anything at the end of the day, so just something i decided that i wasn't going to carry anymore. I also don't drink tea/coffee so don't need to boil water.
