    You have to have to have the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen mate. You embody everything I ever feel when I’m out in the countryside and Wales especially. I’ve gone to wales for holidays, day trips since I was a kid. I just turned 50 last weekend and I’m still just as addicted as I was then.
    I live in Stoke On Trent so a completely different vibe here and I’m sure I was meant to live out in the open. When I drive, cycle or hike out in the countryside I always to this day get butterflies, it gives me this excited feeling, like a feeling of hope. I can’t really explain it. I’m not a pro cyclist, I just cycle for health and the tranquility of being on my own, at one with nature. People think I’m a bit weird because I enjoy so much time on my own 🤷🏼😂😂 anyhow mate, yet another stunning video and you make a 50 year old dude quite emotional when I watch these. I get so inspired so thank you buddy. ❤

    I've lived in the welsh valleys all my life. I'm almost 65, still walking, still cycling on my 17yr old Kona.
    I love where I live and I've never taken it for granted. I was blessed being born here.
    As for the rain, well, it's only water and keeps it green.
    Place names? Have a go, ask a local, learn and it will be appreciated. Great content here, chware teg. Diolch.

    I have never done bike packing, but I have done my share of motorcycle adventures. And this is how it's done. Love the intro and you truly got me smiling. Absolutely love the calm voice in your voiceover. I find this particularly hard myself. I really enjoyed this mate. Thank you 👏🏻🎥

    Josh, been sat at home ill. Found your channel, and I would like to say what amazing videos there are. I am a former biker on and off but have a medical condition that now limits me, but watching you grind away in all weather's reminds me of my time out there on my bike. Which a lot of it was in the Peak District close to me.
    Thank you, and keep it up.

    Hey Josh
    Don’t usually comment on UA-cam stuff
    Been a massive viewer for years.
    Watched loads of your vids many times
    Although I’ve watched it loads already… This is definitely your best work! It’s a wonderful video! The cinematography, the music everything - really beautiful

    The adventures keep on coming! What are your tyre pressures Josh? Your rear wheel seems to be bouncing quite a bit in this one, which translates as an increase in lost energy (or better traction)! Thanks for your inspiration, dedication and your cool posts 🙏🏼☺️

    Cool route, Wales never fails to deliver great scenery, but also never fails to deliver the dampness. Looking at your video again towards the start, your rear tyre looked super soft, especially when climbing as was almost hitting the rim. Maybe it was just running a bit low and the bead was leaking if it burped. Bet it felt good to see blue skies in Conwy?

    • @KeepSmilingAdventures
      @KeepSmilingAdventures  Рік тому +1

      Yeah i think it was just very slowly going down the whole trip, i topped the sealant up once i got home and it been fine since.
      Funny i got all the way to conwy that morning and it was absolutely beautiful, tyre stayed up all the way, sat around enjoying the castle, went to cycle to the train station and it was flat again 😂

    hi Josh, I would love to do this ride and the cairngorms has been on my radar for a while. Could you tell me about your travel to and from your rides.Sometimes that's the bits that hold me back from doing a ride as I'm not always sure logistically how to get to the start without driving and leaving the car somewhere and train prices are always so expensive.
