Thanks Josh, we are newly retired bike packers and absolutely love your videos. Such helpful content. Enjoying our Sonder Frontier 29ers for mtb and longer trips. Think we’ll go for a flat bar Camino later this year because our flat bar road bikes are wearing out. Our first trip was a few days mainly off road in Norfolk, Peddars way which was definitely suitable for gravel. Have a great weekend.

Thanks very much for this. Been looking for off road routes suitable for beginners and my 83 year old pops!

Perfect timing for this video as I’ve just ordered my first gravel bike after only having full sus 29er for the last couple years

That’s a good list I did the West Country way as my first gravel bike adventure and found all the descents even loaded quite easy but then I am coming from a mountain biking background. Your 370 looks like a great route does it still go well in winter. Thanks Steve

Morning to you, found this channel looking into a gravel bikes. At the minute I’m riding a hybrid, but miss my road bike. I ride with my daughter and some of these trails would be good for me and her too do some serious routes. Where can see these routes so I can take look and plan them, thanks for the video.

Excellent selection 👍 it'd be interesting to know what tyres you're using and how they've performed.

Been using the maxxis rambler 50mm for quite a while now. Been solid

I guess everything north of Birmingham is too gnarly to call it gravel. 😉

I struggle with knowing what tyres to use / pick for a ride. I have two options on differing wheels. 32mm 45mm Guessing something like the Canti or New Forest would be fine on the 32mm but others would need to be 45mm.

Great stuff mate. What would you say is your top 3 for beginners and top 3 for more advanced riders on a mtb hardtail.👍

@KeepSmilingAdventures Жыл бұрын

For beginners id say the canti way. Thats a really beginner friendly one. North downs is definitely another good one for beginners if you want a bit more off road. The new forest is probably the easiest though id say. More advanced ones id say Dorset 330 that's pretty rough. Great north trail for the length and the different terrain. But the hardest i think was the Lake District that had me wishing for a full sus

@@KeepSmilingAdventures Thanks mate, appreciate the reply 👍 Yeah the great north trail looks epic and the lake district you deserved a medal for that one lol

Do you mean you need the uk Garmin maps for the gps or a gpx file of the route ?

@ivicabozinovic9450 Жыл бұрын

The Garmin Maps, sorry. The track I have it

@KeepSmilingAdventures Жыл бұрын

@@ivicabozinovic9450 ahh garmin maps are non transferable so i can't just rip them of my device i'm afraid, My 830 has europe maps on though. So maybe you do have the uk maps as well.
