your videos are just getting better and better. thanks for this amazing video . nothing better than watching a bikepacking video before bed 😍
Enjoying your back videos while you recover from your horrendous accident 😊
Wow, what a fantastic route ! The scenery was absolutely amazing. You always manage to pick excellent routes 👍
Great video mate. First one I've seen on your channel. Looking forward to watching the rest.
Hope that cow that jumped the fence was OK! Hopefully not barbed wire out there.
Great videos which keep getting better and better. Your filming is fantastic and so enjoyable to watch. What a shame the end was so disappointing but think of all the other highlights!
Great video, and so few views! You captured the landscape and the feeling of a bike packing trip. That shot of the wind turbine in the fog is epic.
What a shame that the end of your ride wasn’t like the rest. It’s a massive achievement though, both back to back is huge well done 👏🏽. Love ya channel
I got married in the church that you camped near. Lovely place. Moved to Dartmoor now. Good to see the North in such nice weather. Great drone shots.
I know a few bits of the Dales, that’s where I do my roaming. Great video again. Making some super videos!!
Looked a great ride Mate.
You finished very close to me. Great to see Hartshead Pike, I know how gnarly the trails are for gravel biking around there!
I love your content!
Summer rides should end at a beach or a stream... good work and excellent footage.
Great adventure! Epic scenery.
You deserve a lot from the efforts you put into this channel Josh, both physically and emotionally, from an armchair bikepacker (who just finished the KAW) how do you do these routes on your own?
Thanks, I have always rode things like this on my own.
A real test at the end, but overall it looks a great route. We'll done and thanks for sharing. Atb.
I'm confused. You had at least another 100 miles to go before you reached the second city 😜
ps this was beautifully filmed
pps any reason for riding in long sleeves during the heat? Was it to avoid midges.
Came to comment the same!
Stunning scenery. You captured the feel of the countryside. Taking the time to stop. Set up the camera. Get the shot. Go back and get the camera. All that has to add a lot of time to your ride. Thank you for this episode.
For comparison, on my ride today I took a picture of ONE flower.😆
aha yeah it definitely slows me down, Was it a nice flower though ?
Good job Josh!
Did my fist bikepacking trip last weekend via ShipWrights Way. You and other YT content providers are a real inspiration - keep the good work going!
Fantastic film and editing as always. I’m doing this ride soon. 👍
Enjoy 🚵♂️
Great Video as always. they amended the route on 1/8/22 the bottom section is definitely different to the route you did . .
That has kind of confirmed what I sort of feared: it's a route much more suitable to MTB with a lot of hike a bike and some questionable route choice. It sort of puts me off trying it.
Great video as always!
no no a mtb would only be good for the last 50 miles really. There is a lot more distance covered on gravel roads and roads overall on this route.
Great video mate! Really enjoy your content. I did find your volume levels off. Music is way too load compared to the talking :)
The Badger divide? The Second city divide? Meh.. I'll just join the two 😂
Great stuff mate.
I’m not surprised you were hot wearing tights, long sleeve jersey, hat and a buff 😅
Hi, at 21:40 you say that, that hill is not worth it (makes sense) could you tell me where that is, my guess is that it is on the way down to Kirkland, is that right? Thank you in advance.
There are hidden official wild camping spots at Kielder if you email the forestry commission.
Is this since the crackdowns on wild camping since the lockdown boom and all the litter that came with it?
@@Jo3sX not sure, you'd have to check with the authority.
Brilliant Josh, I'm just loving your laid back style and adventures. I'm a 60 year old long distance road biker but I've been inspired by you to research and purchase a road/gravel bike for next year and get out on the beaten track and try some wild camping. Can't wait.
I was watching this video the other night and my wife (a country music lover) heard the backing track music on the video and is desperate to find out what the track is. At 9:54 in the video a brilliant country blues song accompanies your video, can you tell me who sings it and what the track is called please?
Keep up the great videos
Glad you are enjoying the videos paul, I'm sure you will enjoy getting off road and enjoying the trails.
The music is open road - chester malone

@@KeepSmilingAdventures I didn't expect such a quick response, thanks Josh. I just finished your Lakeland 200 video. Hiker biking way off the beaten track doesn't look quite so tempting. Route planning software not always as good as it should be. Still much better than being at work though. 🙂
Well done on all of your epic rides, just purchased my first gravel bike and my first big ride is going to be this one, want to follow your route, where can I download it from please?
Have watched all of your videos more than once, truly inspirational, keep it up mate
You are gunna love it im sure here you go www.secondcitydivide.cc
Thanks
Trying to work out why this is called the 2nd city divide? Which are the 2nd cities?
I think Glasgow is Scotland’s second city and Manchester is England’s second city. Obviously just a guess by me.
@@rossmax767 Birmingham is England's official second city.
Awesome Ride!!.
Josh, do you treat the water you take from the streams or is it nota necessary there?
I use a filter, the katadyn befree. Probably not really needed in most places in scotland but rather be safe than sorry
A gruelling finish only to find you've ended up in the wrong place as Birmingham is England's second city! Great video though :)
What is that tune ? Life is a open road ???
