    An absolute pearler of a video Josh. Beautiful cinematography, awesome views and great narration and real-time commentary to camera on this one too. Well done! 👍 This truly deserves mega views on UA-cam.
    Thanks for making and sharing. 🇦🇺🙏

    Absolutely beautiful. You don't need hundreds of miles to enjoy a ride, and this just proved it.

    As a Great Glen Way ranger I never got round to doing the other side of Loch Ness. I really must get back up there and try it out. Your trip looked magical and peaceful.And I only probably managed to ride half of the Great Glen Way. Walked and ran it a great deal, and led an orgainised walk of all 79 miles of it too.Need to spend a couple of days cycling around it and enjoy it, and not look at it with a critical eye thinking what needs doing. Take it from me, you don't get many days up there when the weather is kind to you. Chapeau!

    Great video, did a similar ride this year but went via tomich and over the top to Fort Augustus. South side descents are great.

    How wide are the bars you run mate? They look pretty narrow for a guy as tall as you. I like it! Old school

    Great stuff mate. Love Inverness and Loch Ness. The worst part is getting there lol Took me about 12 hours through the night on the train from London. Shattered by the time you get there. I have no idea how you do it week in week out, I really don't.

    • @KeepSmilingAdventures
      @KeepSmilingAdventures  4 місяці тому +1

      Tell me about it, getting back meant I had a night roaming the streets of London until the first train back to Bournemouth 😴

    • @dalj4362
      @dalj4362 4 місяці тому

      @KeepSmilingAdventures Ouch mate. Sometimes getting there or getting home is harder than the route itself. For me anyway lol

    Brilliant mate loved the camp spot been to Inverness a few times but of a hole if I,m honest best part is going over the bridge north lol look forward to the next adventure…. You need to do the SW300 that looks really good and I live on the route if you fancied a night out the tent …Atb Coops 👍🏻🚴
