    Brilliant editing; filming & sound, backing music, drone shots etc.etc. It's like watching a mainstream TV programme. Brilliant work Josh. Love the poetic descriptions of early morning scenes and the joy of leaving the city and joining the trail. Never once do we see you stopping & turning around to retrieve the camera on the tripod.
    The best travelogue videos by a country mile!

    I really enjoyed this vlog too. Narration, scenery, drone footage, soundtrack, voice to camera, and place name headings - it all works really well to create a great package.
    Thanks again for making.🙏

    The comments say it all more eloquently than I can Josh and it's comforting to know there are likeminded people out there, even if we are all a bit eccentric to a lesser or greater extent .
    Great film, great adventure from a great guy .
    Thanks for doing this and filming for others to enjoy .
    That wind was savage, rather you than me.
    Unusually though, no Ginsters in this film .Looked like you could have done with one 😂

    Cycling into wind can be boring / character building (as I did last week on Trans Cambrian) and you feel at times such small reward (in terms of miles) for the effort put in. Yet, still good fun though. I would rather be out - than sat at home. 🙂

    I rode the capital trail a few weeks ago in 3 days on a single speed.
    definitely going with some gears next time haha!
    This video is really making me wish I could be back on the the trail!
    Thanks for this! Looking forward to riding Scotland again in the future.

    As I sit here nursing my knee injury. I’m waiting for the time when I can get out on my bike, on my own in the country-side, for I know no greater joy than this. Then here comes a keep smiling video, to make my day and inspire me. As always you don’t disappoint. The music at the beginning is awesome and your narration so beautiful ( I think you have a creative writers heart!) I’m so sorry that you have been ill and so glad to see you getting your stamina back. It’s a crazy making scenario, for a free spirit to be cooped up with an illness or injury. Thank you once again for your beautiful adventure videos and Keep Smiling 😊😊😊

    Great to watch this with the evening dinner in the comfort of my own home lol. By the way, I've watched your dynamo video 2-3 times for inspiration, I'm looking to upgrade my own setup for a dynamo wheel + the rest of the kit that goes with. Do you still run the same set up, any changes you would want to make? It can get expensive, but I'm okay with buy once cry once.

    Fantastic video! I will one day pluck up the courage to ride some of it bearing in mind I live in the Borders! Moved from England a few years ago (wish I did it earlier!). Shame about the wind but as you say, Nature does what it wants! 👍

    Nice vid' Josh - as-ever👍👍 I'm missing the traditional, 'Keep Smiling - Peace', sign-offs though!
    You wouldn't be using AI narration, by any chance, would you???😉😉.
    Great respect for everything you've done - keep up the great work - thanks. 😊😊

    Hi , another great video. Chapeau . Appreciate the bike you did this ride on doesn’t have aero bars , but what make of aero bars do you have on your other gravel bike please ? Thanks Russ

  • @br5380
    @br5380 8 месяцев назад +1

    While it’s ‘sold’ as a gravel route, an MTB is a far better choice.
