MY TOP 5 UK BIKEPACKING ROUTES SO FAR

[@johnashcroft-jones6091]

Thanks Josh. I have saved this vid as my bucket list.

[@diyprogram]

amazing recommendations. I was inclined to believe UK mainland didn't have any good routes but this is very cool! Will try them all out with God's will.

Cheers Josh for the OCW shout out! Glad you enjoyed it in March, lots of people have been riding it since in the sun. Really hope you get a chance to ride the double divide at some point, (Thats the Badger and Second City Divide), although have some elements that are similar to the GNT are a designed a bit like the OCW in regards to keeping good flow of a route. Definitely one of the Camino! Cheers mate!

Great list, have done sdw which was great, quite like the dartmoor route where I have hiked wikdcamped before, thanks for sharing

[@Dirkdigglar461]

King Alfred’s way should be in there ?

[@kevindean9613]

Ref the Bare Bones bash , would 2.25 " tyres be ok , baring in mind I'm 59 & there's a very good chance your technical skills are a great deal better than mine .Once again a great video .

Great vid, really like to check a few of these out. Local to me is Peddars Way, a real favourite of mine. Lots of good pubs along the route, nd ends with a camp on the beach on the North Norfolk coast.ATB

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

You could do the old chalk way in reverse if that's local to you it uses peddars way

[@JamiedoesWildBikepacking]

@@KeepSmilingAdventures I’ll look into that cheers

@@grumpy-dad3701 Nice one, yes a few sections are pretty sandy in summer 👍🏕

I've been loving your videos in the month or so since I discovered your channel, but one video you seem to be missing is a beginner's guide to what to pack on your first bikepacking trip. My first gravel bike is arriving in a month or so and I'd love your advice on what to pack for the first night away.

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

Hey, glad you are enjoying the channel :D. I have thought about doing a video like that but there really is not a right or wrong when it comes to what to take its all very personal and everyone can and can't live without certain things. You really only learn what works for you after each trip and it's an ongoing ever changing process. Here is a playlist with some videos that may help a bit though to give you some ideas kzbin.info/aero/PLWlIhD2zEcrIvPjOks79okQWGfTzQJKFI

@@KeepSmilingAdventures thank you!

[@rickybushell7156]

I totally agree I remember my first long distance bike tour I had no idea on whats best to take if your not too careful you end up with too much clothes no tools minimal food etc please make a beginners minimal bike touring packing kit list thanks BTW love your videos

Hi Josh. Thabks a lot for your videos. O discovered you couple of months ago and I have been following you since then. I am Planning on biking from Wales to Scotland in may nex year, for my 50th birthday self present 😁. Considering your north coast trail and/or UK divide. Besides cycling I would like a pint, or even 2, at the ende of the day and even an occasional B&B.... Will you have any suggestions? I am from basque country, on north Spain. Thabks for your help. Cheers!!!

[@jackhorsley3912]

really well presented video, thanks a lot for making this, pretty inspiring! im curious on such a long remote route like the great north trail how do you charge your camera/phone to last 800 miles?

[@kevindean9613]

Thanks for the video , do you think KAW is worth doing ?

[@SCOTTISH-ACE]

Have u not done the nc500?? Great vid 👌

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

I've cycled the entire british coast so kind of, minus the bit from inverness to the west coast. west coast of scotland is just magical

[@casmortimer1484]

I thought Cornwall would be in there somewhere 🤷🏼‍♀️😎

[@Aho0ram]

I can’t find the great north trail in google map, could you please help me to find it?! Thanks a lot

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

check the video description

[@south-sendersmtb2458]

When will lejog happen?!

[@kayakmaccaz9256]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@martintin250]

No king Alfred’s way? Maybe that would be in the top ten…

[@richardpegg9265]

cheers - some fine suggestions, but possibly one back might be to just turn down the ketamin style floaty music as it was a bit of a struggle to hear the commentary. some grand choices
