BIKEPACKING THE CAPITAL DIVIDE [PART 1/2]
It's been a little over seven weeks since my crash, but today marks my return to the trails with a bikepacking adventure that I am very excited for. The Capital Divide, a route stretching over 600 miles from the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, to the capital of England, London. This is a route i have been putting together over the last couple of years using trails i have enjoyed over the last couple of years since starting to film these adventures. My journey will take me through the stunning Pentland Hills, the rugged hilly trails of Northumberland, the North Pennines, and the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales. From there, I'll head towards the East Coast, making my way to the scenic ...

BIKEPACKING WALES SUNDOWNERS GONE HORRIBLY WRONG (CRASH)
Просмотров 19 тыс.Месяц назад
After some pretty tough bikepacking adventures over the last few weeks, I thought I'd take on something a little easier and a little chilled, the Solstice sundowners route created by all mountain adventures isn't really a bikepacking route as such but works well for a little overnighter. My plans for a relaxing, chilled out bikepacking adventure would soon change as it all went downhill in the ...

    Looks wonderful! Temperatures probably comparable between the UK in summer and NZ in winter at the mo 😆 I’m curious what pole you use for your pyramid tent. Does that come with the tent or did you buy separately? Looking for something to use with a tarp :)

    Great to see you back on the bike Josh! Strange to see you camped your first night really (really) close to where I live outside of Peebles. All of the bike shops in and around Peebles are expensive (local rental and business rates are very, very high) but NIck and Pippa at BSpoke are really kind and always go that extra mile. Sorry you had to ditch the route but glad you've recovered. Looking forward to the next episode!

    Welcome back Josh, been looking forward to your next adventure and watching this properly! I wanted to thank you, you're one of my RUclips inspirations and I'm currently in Scotland because of you and others 🙂 and omg, £47! I just bought 2 pairs of jockeys for £10, that's mental

  • @wilfwilliams
    @wilfwilliams День назад

    Those jockey wheels are a rip off, I ended up getting some out of an old bent derailleur. Now I have Rholoff, but that’s another whole level of expense (to start with)
