Great vídeo and beautiful place! Bless

I cannot believe you opted for the jacket over the elephant.....makes me question the rest of your advice. 😝 As for duct tape I have quite a bit wrapped around a Bic lighter....double duty. Good info...I subbed.

🎉❤

There is a handlebar that I'm trying out that you may like on the Bombtrack. Check out the Surly Corner Bar. It's an interesting bar.

Best gearing?

❤

top tip for you mate, from an old prepper, keep a spare folding alloy tent post inside your seat post, gaffer tape, and old inner tube. you can repair 80% of stuff with that :) chin up

Man, I have been bikepacking for ages and, hovewer already known, it was really comforting to listen to these advices. Thanks

Thanks for the tips! I'm planning to do the trail next year. What kind of GPS device would you recommend?

Thanks for the tip. We did this route as a family trip over three days on the Bank Holiday. My 12 yo managed out very well. That loop on the north end was very hard to follow the route with lots of mud, and the last 5ish kms when it goes west before going back east to finish in Brockenhurst, I'd say it's not worthy. Lots of traffic. As for the rest, it's a very nice route. Thanks!

is that the Topeak saddle bag from 2 years ago?

Wow. Dude I just done this in 5 days. Was amazing- but the last stretch (loads of big rubble) towards Swansea was gnarly and unrideable. I rode it on a gravel bike with 50mm's. Overall very enjoyable and got to see the breadth of Wales in one go!

I was walking with my rottweiler along a disused railway track in Caerphilly, when I fell backwards down the embankment and landed on my shoulders , feet sticking up towards the air, in a bramble bush. I gave a loud karate scream, and despite being covered in thorns, twisted my body and dragged myself through the bush. I was covered in blood, but had no choice other than scream and get myself out. Lottie the rottie was very relieved.

❤ My gravel bike. Off for a spin on Mull next week. First bike packing adventure! 🎉🥳

Do you remember where you pitched each night? I’m doing this soon and looking for ideas

I’ve seen better tarp and bike set ups with the bike only partly inside the shelter but forming a support for a plough point or similar shelter; and another with the bike at one end but outside, a ridge line to a pole and an A frame design in between. But a tarp pyramids tent is easier. It just doesn’t incorporate the bike.

Really solid advice. I have to say that your vids are inspiring, even to a 53 year old bike tourer like myself. Thanks Josh. Hope that the channel keeps going.

What were you using to charge your phone? I get using a battery pack but it will eventually run out, did you charge somewhere?

Crazy fool . Brilliant

I'm surprised you don't use a poncho, cheap and extremely effective. Deployed in seconds, 💯 waterproof and airy!

Sometimes you just look at everything that has gone wrong and think, heart not in it. Which can be a really gruelling mental process. Once that decision is made, you stick to it and commit to the decision. I have had a few. Good you post these videos, they are as valuable as the success stories, thanks for posting.

Hot take ... long trousers/tights are far superior to shorts in the uk unless temps are extremely high. Just did a trip through yorkshire where midges bit the s*##" out of my legs in one evening while wearing shorts. Probably had 30 swollen bites on each leg. Less chance of godawful ticks while covering up as well.

That first one is what made me enjoy my trip last year less than i wanted to, did 85 miles in my first day didnt set up camp until around 8:30pm and i was knackered, its nice to know i can do that but my next trip im setting a limit of 50-60 miles

Croeso i Gymru! Mae'n fendigedig yma!

You always somehow manage to make the cars disappear!

These videos are invaluable for planning, thanks very much for them Josh 🚲⛺👌👍

This is probably your best video, Josh. Really enjoyed watching it again.

Just caught this. Am looking at replacing my drop bars for the H. I have been using a Restrap front bag/roll but the cables on the drops are tucked away. It looks like the cables need to be longer and in front of any bag for the Jones?. How is it working on your bike.

How are you getting on with your recovery, hopefully getting there.

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.

Great points, so easy to agree with them, especially the hiking jacket. The cycling gear seems to be more designed on by wind tunnel results than on actual real life elements, needs and bodies.

Always look forward to you videos josh your an inspiration so glad i discovered you . Hope your soon back on your bike again.

Thanks for the great advice. Hope your recovery is going well!

Thanks for the tips. I find the tips with gloves and jacket the most useful, thanks for the video!

What is your handle bar set up? Trying to figure out what you have done with that extension piece where you have your GPS and headlamp mounted to?

Great advice, especially regarding waterproof jackets and for one getting out of their own head and just getting out on the bike (I struggle with that a lot).

So sorry to see this. Hope you heal well. Thanks for all of the inspiration you provide.

From Oz … very well said. I’ve watched and enjoyed much of your work but must have missed what I presume was a crash that has left you injured and recovering. Not good. I’m coming up to 79 and am so so careful not to injure myself while still taking rides, lines and yes, some risks within my capability so that I still satisfy my need for ‘good’ rides. Get well soon.

I once wrote that one of the great things about Josh's videos was the absence of unsolicited advice. This video is different because it answers many of the questions viewers have asked in the comments. Most of the tips are free and easy to act on with none of the buy, buy, buy of other channels, making it so much easier to get out and enjoy "them moments".

Hiking gear works great for me. Forclaz MT500 shorts, merino t shirts and if you are in the UK try the M&S Microskin underwear.

I hope your are repairing well , all I'll add is to shop around for deals , regarding jackets I a Endura mt500 for a great price .I always wear a base layer it does a great job at wicking away sweat ,mine are from planet x & very cheap . Positive thoughts coming your way .

Nothing like experience for the inexperienced. lol Wisdom from someone elses pain and misery means you have choices to make during a MTB adventure. Good stuff Josh and I hope your recovery is coming along and we will see you soon on your next adventure. :) :)

Some great thoughts shared, thanks. Got to say I bought an oversized rain jacket from Decathlon, and also their quick drying cycling trousers which have been great to use over my bib-shorts, keeping the legs warm even though the trousers had taken the worse of the wet surfaces through the winter and spring. Keep smiling Josh

Very good advice mate listening to your body enjoy and embrace the adventure the hardest thing is to just get outside after that the world is your oyster great content as always cheers

Number 11. Don't crash🤪. All the best on your recovery. How's it going?

A sticking point for me is knowledge that I can stop… Official campsites can be sparse (there are loads of campsites on the north downs way, but mostly connected to scouts, and so not for me),,,, I have no objection to a wild camp, but have never done it, and in the busiest part of England, my major worry is discovery. I’d really appreciate an in depth look at selecting a discrete place to stop!

How’s the Ribs?
