as a man with joints as old as that tree who fights to cycle the free countryside spend your prime well as you do roaming far afield

You have a unique way of talking and bringing your thoughts to words… that makes me feel cozy and happy every time I watch one of your videos 😊 truly an amazing gift, congrats!

@alethearobinson8132 10 месяцев назад

Top grades on this one, Josh. Your filming and narration just keeps getting better. Thank you

@KeepSmilingAdventures 10 месяцев назад

As a 65 YO cyclist, actually just getting back into cycling after being a committed commuter, joyrider, and bike packer in my youth, I find your content inspiring and relaxing, I love your style from the camera work and narration, to the music. The one thing I would like some more info on is your bike and setup. Some particular areas of interest are gadgets and charging, how your bike is geared, any non standard kit like pedals, bags, clothing, and camping gear. Thanks for all great content!

@KeepSmilingAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Hey glad you enjoy the videos, thanks for watching. If you check the video description there is videos to all the bikes, kit, charging etc

Brilliant Josh Loved this. Amazing filming/scenery. This tree is in Neil Oliver's Britain in 100 places and described as Europe's oldest living thing . Thanks for making this film, I really enjoyed it👍

Josh thanks for taking us along on this ride with you. The filming was truly beautiful and I was glad to see you have good weather if a little cold.

Hi Josh, I’ve never commented on a RU-vid video before but your work just keeps getting better! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful adventures with us all. 😊

@KeepSmilingAdventures 10 месяцев назад

@dalj4362 10 месяцев назад

Stunning mate, you captured some amazing footage. This has to be in the top 5 of your videos. 👏 Congrats on 16k subs. You deserve so many more. Keep smiling, enjoy the adventure.. peace 👊

@KeepSmilingAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Thanks mate, that frosty morning up high was just something else absolutely stunning. Old school outro :D

@BikepackingAdventures 10 месяцев назад

I agree this is way up as one of the best - superb conditions for getting the drone. With Scotland you can often do no wrong whichever you point the camera!

@brianstevenson4529 10 месяцев назад

Another great video Josh , epic scenery and great footage , top one 👍😀

@crobbw 10 месяцев назад

This one really resonates with me as in my youth a mate and I cycled alongside a river in the Olympic National Park in Washington state USA, forded the river on foot and hiked to the largest Douglas Fir and I believe the largest western Hemlock tree in the world. Well done you!

@francisday3187 10 месяцев назад

I've just viewed this for the second time, and I have to agree with the other comments here that this is close to, or possibly the best video you've made. It gives me joy to watch this, a great story, exquisite drone footage, beautiful soundtrack, and that old yew tree.... well, the oldest tree I've visited is a 3,000 year -old Huon Pine in S.W. Tasmania, and that was something! A 5,000 year-old tree - how wonderful and special! 👍🙂🇦🇺

@73megalith 9 месяцев назад

The edits keep getting better with the narrative and cinematic drone shots. Cant see how this would not inspire anyone with a tent and bike to try bikepacking trips. I had to stop bikepacking as my wrists got messed up so i had a break , just got some SQlabs inner bar ends and managed 50 miles today. Same handlebars as Josh's only now it feels like i can ride on the hoods for extra comfort. Already thinking of rides in Kernow this spring 🙂🤙

@surfitmansurfitman7680 9 месяцев назад

Hope you're feeling better now. We all have bad days, men get trouble too if we're not well stacked. Look on the bright side people are generally nicer to ladies😃

@TubeAddict999 6 месяцев назад

If you like riding to see old trees, there's a really old one in North Wales. I'm sure you can make a good route to see it 😊👌🏽

@2dh887 10 месяцев назад

On my adventures today my gear shift lever broke so i am halted for the time being. At least i have your adventures to get me through. Great video as always. I am super jealous but hope you enjoy what you do and continue to do it for our enjoyment.

@KeepSmilingAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Doh 😣 that's annoying, hopefully wont take long to get it fixed and back on the trails again

@BikepackingAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Stunning what glorious weather! I visited Kenmore (possibiy 2018) and rode Mount Kenmore.. man I wish I had know about this tree. That was quite something. Thanks again for another wonderful video.

@paulsampson7918 10 месяцев назад

@ianccrook8899 10 месяцев назад

Great. Thank you for sharing. Try the yew tree at Llangernyw in N Wales, reputedly, we’ll, they all are, the oldest tree … another churchyard tree.

@simonwiltshire 10 месяцев назад

Great idea for a ride out, that tree is incredible, so well presented and put together josh, cheers.

@KeepSmilingAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it :D

@WiltshireMan 10 месяцев назад

Another epic adventure Josh. I wish I could do a bike pack like that. I fell off my bike a couple of weeks ago and broke some ribs, I've just started to get some back pain so it could be a while before I can ride any distance again. I'll have to make do watching you instead!

@KeepSmilingAdventures 10 месяцев назад

ahh damn man that sucks, i really hope you manage to heal up fast so you can get back in the saddle.

@pooyanni 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your adventure, Josh! Are you still riding your Beyond+ ADV with modified wheelset? If so, how are you liking your setup? Have you changed anything since your review almost a year ago?

@julianhawker7672 10 месяцев назад

Nice trip Josh, well done on 16K you deserve a lot more IMO. I notice you have swapped the Jones bars out for what looks like Sonders possibly, why was this? Cheers. 👍

@KeepSmilingAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Yeah they are the sonder confucius (think thats what they called) i just fancied testing a more traditional bar out really and had a voucher for alpkit so just thought id test them Out for a bit. Still have the jones though

@julianhawker7672 10 месяцев назад

@@KeepSmilingAdventures I've converted my mtb bikepacker to Jones bars a couple of months ago and really liking them.

@Headin_South 10 месяцев назад

This doesn’t sound right to me; I think Methuselah in the Sierra Nevada is reckoned to be the oldest living tree, and that’s definitely under 5000 years old.
