Hello all, hope you are all had a great weekend, if you were early to yesterday’s upload you might have noticed that the video had no audio, sorry about that seemed to be a shot that messed up the audio during the export. So welcome back for take 2 of the headstock 200 hope you enjoy this adventure and as always thanks for tuning in :D If you want a bit more information on what the route was like to ride then check out the before you ride video here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6uag6htg7Jsjc0

Thanks Josh! I'm riding this one in May so a sneaky peak of what's to come, even in winter, is really helpful! Doable in 2 days do you reckon?

@KeepSmilingAdventures 10 ай бұрын

@@sing_cycle_referee yeah i reckon its doable in two days, you will have a lot more daylight to play around with in may. Good luck 🚵

@@KeepSmilingAdventures cheers! Those high top sections look brutal but hopefully my Sonder Frontier will cope with them (the less said about me coping the better)!

Relatively new to your channel but have been binge watching. Fantastic content with great editing.

Haha, like a BOSS. You have Plan A but can improvise a Plan B or C at the drop of a hat. There is no substitute for real world experience. Your filming, editing, voice-overs and production are just great! As always, well played Josh! 💪

A really lovely and inspiring video. I’ve lived abroad now for many years, but I grew up in the north of England, raised by parents who were really into hill walking and so these landscapes are very familiar. I can’t quite believe you’re wild camping in such low temperatures. Without a sleeping pad even!

Thanks Josh, you always create and produce a great video, "it's all good" comes across loud and clear! Every viewer has your back in them terrible winds.

Thanks for all of your content, Josh. Always look forward to watching and this one didn't disappoint. Not that any have previously. Some crazy-variable weather out there and also some beautiful drone footage. ❤👍

That looked like a magnificent ride Josh. The sunrise over the reservoir was something else, and you captured it beautifully with your drone footage. Thanks for making and sharing. 🙏

Ex Pat Brit here living in the Philippines. Love your content so much, my only complaint is that it makes me homesick! I'm 70 and still ride my Giant fathom 29er XT 1x12, its perfect for the general road conditions here. I don't race and have never been into the MTB sport per say, it's just perfect for the general road conditions here. I haven't driven since 2005

I think unless you've ridden out in these remote parts of Wales, self supported, you can't really explain to people how it feels! I honestly don't think it gets much better? Wales is a beautiful challenge that stays with you, and pulls you back! Just prepping the gravel bike for a week on the Sarn Helen S to N, in early September. Only got back from Traws Eryri last week, missing the climbing already! 😄 Nice Vlog! ✌️

Massive props to you for doing this in winter Josh. Just attempted the HS200 event. Scratched at CP1. I'd walked about 75% of the route (about 90% of the time). Brutal.

That's the beauty of Wales, massive high's to massive low's. Fortunately/hopefully/luckily more of the former than the latter. Great job mate, lovely shots. Well done for pushing through the pain, as usual :)

Hi Josh.thanks for another slice of type two fun with the odd bit of type one. Funny thing I'm pretty sure I saw you passing in the opposite direction as I was driving through Maesycwmmer,so not enough time to shout keep smiling to you. what make is your new tent? is it better than the alkpit? Oh and finally what's your top tip for keeping your feet warm in the icy weather.Keeo smiling and keep the films coming. best wishes. Rob

@WiltshireMan 10 ай бұрын

Lanshan is OK for warmer weather Josh, but a very draughty tent in the Winter, I think your Alpkit Soloist with the fly that comes down to the ground is a better option especially in the colder months of the year @@KeepSmilingAdventures

@antonystagg2548 10 ай бұрын

Looking at the video, did you skip a sleeping bag and just use 2 thick puffy jackets on top? It’ll be interesting to hear your thoughts on the Lanshan 1. I use a 2Pro and really like it, though single skin brings its own issues.

Enjoying your videos. Just curious why not a mountain bike with 2+ inch wheels or a fat tire? Seems you battle with some pretty rough trails that would benefit from such setups.
