Another lovely film. Have a look at the Saltmarsh Coastal route in Essex, 75 miles taking in the Rivers Crouch and Blackwater, with some nice bits along the way 👍🏻
About to do this exact ride with a buddy this coming weekend. Couldn't have been more timely! Much love 😊

You will love it.
Great ride and filming. You did it much faster than me and my 75 year old riding buddy ( and you were loaded) We decided on two motorway service accommodation stops M25 and M20 which wasn't as grim as it sounds at less than £45 each night for the two of us. Altogether a great 3 days riding and much quieter than the SDW. Looking forward to seeing more of your rides. 💪👍
Thinking of riding North down way this June from Maidstone to Dover and back. Taking a friend of his 1st trip
Love this video / edit right in my neck of the woods. I’ve sat on that bench 😊 and admired the view. Nice one Josh
Loving your videos more and more now. If you ever fancy a bikepacking adventure, and want company, I am in Bournemouth so could do some cool trips. Keep Smiling 🤙🏻
Great vid as always Josh, and through my part of the surrey hills - Farnham end. Up to 4.8k subs 👍
Another great video. Thanks.
New to your channel loving it!!
Brilliant.
Awesome video
much enjoyable video like with gravel :D
Cool :) nice riding
Great video as always… where can I find the routes you use? Wondering if you have use komoot?
Good to meet you, I did try lifting 4Kg with a dropper post my cheap brandx lifted it but wasn’t happy my twice the price one up dropper post wouldn’t lift it. This will make absolutely no sense to anyone.

No worries, i like them on this bike but i wouldn't necessarily want them on a xc/full suspension type of bike. but for this bike and bikepacking i get on with them.
You didn’t mention that a lot of the NDW is footpath. It’s not a cycle route which it looks like on the vid. Looked like a great ride tho

There is a cycle version of the NDW uses the bridalways
Love you're videos keep it up. Question, your handlebars are thay better than straight bar's I'm new to the world of bikepacking
Great video, inspiring me to do this route. One question: What make/model are your handlebar's? They look really comfy for this kind of riding, I'd like to get some similar.

So next time do you think would just take the hammock? Nice ride.
