Josh's adventures are sometimes expressed so poetically. Thank you.

Welldone Josh your giving more on route tours bikepacking than anyone else in the UK thanks so much for 2023 inspiring. Have a great Christmas.

[@Dibble.officer]

Perfect adventure Josh. Thankyou for all the time and effort you put into the vlogs. Have a restful Xmas. Here's to more of the same in 2024. 👍

[@ifitrollsrideit530]

Thanks

[@francisday3187]

Many thanks Josh for making these vlogs and sharing your riding adventures with us. I hope you're feeling OK now. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your adventures in 2024.

Thank you for all your hard work, Josh, and for sharing numerous bike adventures with lovely landscapes, boggy trails, steep ascents, rain, wind, sun, stealth camping, and of course, powered by the legendary breakfast, Ginsters! Speaking of which, I have my eye on the Ginsters Turkey and Bacon limited edition pasty for Boxing Day. Happy Crimbo mate, and looking forward to more adventures in the new year. Take care, Tim 👍

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

happy chrismas thanks for watching :D

[@damedavidfrith55]

Wow ❤ it thanks for that could see how hard that was on your face

[@kenprice1047]

Hard cycling there! Tks for sharing! 🤙🏼🚵🏻‍♂️

Looking at your videos I start to miss Wales more and more.. I was living in Newport then moved up to Cardiff back in 2014. Epic adventures, once im back with a bike I will start to build ( frame from Wales actually ) ill give you a shout and join you for a magneficiant Wales trip buddy riide :)))

[@timrichardson2]

Hope you get better soon as more adventures lay ahead, and we can't wait!

[@davidcowan5650]

Thankyou josh for another year of epic adventures peeeeeeeeaaaaaaacccceeee!!!

[@edwardgurhy100]

I am doing part /a section of that route, soon. My next trip is Kemble - the mouth of the Thames back to Clevedon / North Somerset .... which is home (right on the Severn estuary). Summertime - I tend to pick an alternative cost and cycle back home. It is a stretch to say that the start of the Thames is the coast - but this time of year even just getting out is a challenge. Always thoroughly inspiring to watch your adventures and I just sit there glued. Thanks for sharing Josh, all your splendid adventures this year - and looking forward to next years. Happy riding.

Great video Josh, as an expat its so nice to see Wales in a video! Keep on rolling. Bob...

[@AndrewBartley]

Looking forward to seeing the headstock 200 video! That’s the route I’m doing

[@Evasapprentice]

You’re spoiling us! Yet another video! Again beautiful photography and amazing drone shots and creative choice of music, so relaxing😊 Thanks Josh, really enjoyed this one and those pesky pheasants strike again😂😂😂. Get yourself a 10ml bottle of Olbas oil, and put a few drops on your pillow or sleeping bag and inhale through your nose, it really clears blocked passages. (A strip of lemsip cold and flu capsules, will also help in your first aid kit) Hope you have a Happy Christmas ❤️

[@WiltshireMan]

Another lovely Winter adventure Josh. Wishing you all the best for Christmas and the New year ahead, lots of Adventures:) Hope you soon get over the cold, being able to breathe is somewhat important:)

[@todd92371]

Have you ever considered riding in "The Tour Divide" in the states. Your stamina is beyond belief.

[@penny6658]

Loved this video. You certainly set yourself some great challenges. What a shame you have such a rotten cold. Get well soon. I look forward to the next episode and in the meantime wish you a very Happy New Year!

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

Happy new year!

[@alethearobinson8132]

Thank you for another outstanding video. You have a great eye for filming the landscapes. Your narration is spot on and very well done. And the choice of music. Perfect. Maybe next time bring along an inflatable kayak.😅 Just kidding. Definitly type 2 fun. My bike ride yesterday was cold. 27°F ( -2.8 c ). Still better than sitting on a sofa. Merry Christmas and a Glorious New Year.

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

I love a ice cold ride 😆 merry Christmas and happy new year to you too ✌️

[@willhughes6205]

This just happens to be 1st video I send to friend to get into bikepacking .. I should have watched it 1st eh ? 😂

[@brianroberts6394]

Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you I have a quick question if you can answer I had pneumonia 6 weeks ago and was advised to stop cycling for 8 weeks Any tips on getting back in the saddle after a serious illness

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

merry christmas and happy new year, sorry to hear you had pneumonia, whenever i have had time of the bike, i just like to keep it simple. Ride slow, stay close to home and stop regularly.

[@ksandersadventures]

Nice adventure! Good relaxing video. If I don’t have gravel bike, do you think I can do bikepacking adventures with MTB bike? 😊

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

Most definitely, most of the uk is more suited for mtb bikepacking anyway.

[@alicejwho]

Okay, so this is possibly a ridiculous question, but what are those trails? I mean, how do you identify these trails across fields etc? Are they on maps? There must be so many around here (I live in the Chilterns...Wendover). But how would I find them? I mean...I suppose I shouldn't just cycle on people's fields, hehe! I'd appreciate anybody's input on this!

[@GrahamFootBicycleLover]

Wish I'd known. I could of met you. Great video. Happy Crimbo Josh Oh and you could of tried my bike. You'd love it

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

Next time!

[@kevindean9613]

I was thinking why didn't you take the Bombtrack ,Or did I miss something .feel better soon .

[@bubuyogful]

What sleeping bag you use during this winter time?

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

its the alpkit pipedream 400

[@bubuyogful]

Heard loads of good reviews about it and thanks for the info. Keep smiling 😊 and happy Christmas 🎅🏽 mate

[@solway17carlisle]

Hi Josh - Thanks so much for an inspirational pre Christmas treat. Great video as usual. Please don’t be offended but I notice you use ‘them’ when you should be saying ‘those’ - minor grammatical issue but raised as constructive comment (I hope). Think you have a fab channel - my ‘go to’ for bikepacking ideas. 👍

[@Jonathan_Williams]

Hi Josh, came across your channel earlier in the year. I think your M25 one was the first and have enjoyed many more of your adventures since. I agree with @solway17carlisle that grammatically 'those' should be used instead of 'them'. However, should you decide to change this now the channel will not be the same and I will be forced to unsubscribe. 😉
