This is how I originally found your channel, last June you managed to get me back on my bike after a 10 year break and I can’t wait to try this route in the summer.. Thanks for everything 🙂💕

[@WalksInCamera]

Epic drone footage and love the area around Rye and Rye Harbour in particular. A lot of history and amazing sea views too!

[@paulsslightlyactivelife]

Fantastic drone work. I think a 'tame' route is one we all need from time to time to de-stress, so looking forward to trying this at some point. Cycling UK are working on a new route in Norfolk now.

[@DavidMackenzie]

Your video inspired us to take our granddaughter for a ride (and swim) along the path at Herne Bay. Great fun - thanks!

[@FENCYCLIST]

The Cantii way is a lovely route did it in October with CTC Peterborough over 2 days, we actually started in Ashford, as it was easier for train connections from Peterborough, although that didn't matter in the end, because of strikes that weekend, so a few of us got the train to London on Friday, and the rest drove to the start outside Ashford international. but looking forward to doing it again next year once I retire, but take a bit more time and enjoy the history of the area

[@nickhickmott4403]

I rode this last month, similar experience, baking hot and loved it. Slept on Sene Valley golf course 👍🏻 I'm from just outside Wye, have to say, your drone shots throughout were really impressive. I know the route very well but they provided a unique take on things 👌🏻

[@grantswheelstohills]

Really glad you gave it a go, and enjoyed it. It'd on my home turf so I will give it a go sometime. Thanks for taking us on all your adventures. Cheers Grant.

[@whollyspokes3645]

Nice i do enjoy the coastal route around Ramsgate .

[@macsportstravel4772]

Just finished riding the Cantii Way - thank you for the inspiration to ride it , your description and rating was spot on - great fun ride

[@jennibristol7720]

I think this is one of your best films to date. Plus you finally got some fish and chips!

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it :D Wohoooo finally found some 😂

[@davidhazelton5370]

Excellent video. Looking forward to doing it later this month.

[@alethearobinson8132]

Stunning drone footage. Tagging the Roman ruins and history was a treat. Really enjoyed this "episode" a gentle relaxing cycle along the coast. It is interesting to see a part of the world that is so different then mine. And yet simular. Thank you for sharing

[@telepopepic]

Fish & Chips finally. Great reminder that not every ride need be an epic challenge to be epically wonderful. Thanks!

[@simonhutchins5704]

Thanks for this, I did KAW after your vid inspired me, this looks like a nice one to do! 👍

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

Thanks simon, Hope you had a good trip on the KAW, this one is definitely a nice one to do to really chill out

[@MrRowrow22]

So funny to see you on the crab and winkle, I rode that probably twice a week as a kid and have been again recently since moving back to whitstable. I definitely need to give this route a try

[@cooperswayadventures]

Superb keep the good work up!! Reculver tower was amazing...👍👍🍻🍻

[@johnbruce949]

Awesome vid again. Keep them coming 😁👍🏼

[@jonathanbarnaby]

Great stuff. Inspiring. Drone shots are fantastic. Just a pity the start is 253 miles away.......... Cheers.

[@curlysue3620]

Just found out about this route yesterday. Been a commuter cyclist for just over a year. This is going to do in sections and get the train back to Canterbury. Next summer I would try to attempt it, with wild camping along the way. ❤️✌🏼🙏🏼

[@edsmith530]

Great video 👍

[@paulbeaton9268]

Absolutely spot on! Another great video to keep me smiling on another morning wattbike sesh! Keep them coming fella! Amazing work as always 👏 Thank you

[@stephenbrown5844]

Fantastic ride for a flat ride😉🤟🇬🇧♥️love every bit of footage

[@FollowThomas]

Beautiful ride on a beautiful day what could be better. 👍

[@dalj4362]

[@bikepackinguk]

[@bikepackinguk]

Great content as always 👍

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

Thanks very much brian :D

[@TheDuntman]

Superb video! Beautifully shot and really well presented. Having just completed the KAW it's next my list. Thank you!

[@SCOTTISH-ACE]

Great video as always

[@GlaucusBlue]

This looks like a great starter one. I reckon with all the coast line I could get a couple of mates to join me next year on it. And sea swimming optunties most days hell yeah.

[@informationbooklet]

Cantii not Canti - two i's - Great work, keep it up 😊

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

Ooops

[@Foxtrottangoabc]

Looks a nice relaxing route to just dawdle and enjoy the views 😎 cheers

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

definitely one to chill out on

[@gimme1smile]

Might be tame, but your rode it and shared with us. Thank you 👍

[@kevindean9613]

I'm going to cycle from Portsmouth using the NCN 2 route as it's also flat to pick this route up . I was thinking that it looks like you live Bournemouth way that is also on NCN 2 , I wonder if we both set off at the same time how long it would take before you went sailing past me . Thanks for the video.

[@jhscotty]

great video! what's the hydration vest?

[@1Tommytip]

Just discovered your channel, really enjoying it as it`s inspiring me to get out on my bike. Do you have a playlist for the music you used in this video please? ATB Steve.

[@206898195311]

Great adventure as always. Just out of interest, what software do you edit you videos from? Cheers

[@sisavedbygrace]

Awesome film, I plan to ride from the same start point, I know you can download the route from cycling uk, would you share your route as it would be perfect, many thanks 🙏

[@DavidMackenzie]

Love the video but I have to ask - don't the Ginsters go off in the heat?

[@frida12349]

Thank you so much for another vlog Josh. How'd the Topeak bag work out..?? Thinking of getting one after your initial review. Peace.

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

yeah been great so far no problems with it and it's easy to live with

[@thebigg2345]

Looks like a nice route, thanks. By the way, if you use the link to Komoot, it says the route is marked private.

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

Thanks, should be public now

[@thebigg2345]

@@KeepSmilingAdventures OK now, thanks 👍

[@TheCoopsvids]

Well done Josh another great adventure ...have you done the Wolds way or white rose way mate ?

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

[@Grandadgreyhair]

Hi what was hydration system you took and why did you ditch bottles

[@joffbrown]

I still can’t get on your strava ? Great route I only live in Tonbridge Kent so could easily get there to do that one

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

No idea why my strava is public

[@joffbrown]

@@KeepSmilingAdventures find it 👍🏻

[@Grandadgreyhair]

Have you thought about the sandstone way Northumberland.

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

[@ben8522]
