    Everything I love about this type of riding, beautiful location, no time or distance pressure. Amazing footage.

    Hey man came across your channel a few weeks ago and have watched a few of your videos. I have been really inspired to go on longer off road and gravel rides and just finished an 80k loop with 1600m of climbing and absolutely loved it! Have a coffee on me man and keep up the good work. All the very best!
    Myron 👍

    Kudos on being able to put in the miles before breakfast. I can't do an inch before coffee and porridge.

    One of my fave routes... Over the Purbecks to Weymouth and back again !

    You ever considered moving to the states, not quite sure the UK is big enough for you 😉. Epic ride, yet again. I'm pretty sure I'd have turned around being faced with that white cow near the end 😱

      id defo love to come spend a few years over there to explore, i spent a bit of time over there a few years ago but not with the bike. Although i did get to cycle in San Francisco which is probably the only city i have ever just wanted to whip around in aha. That cow was mooohoosive 😂

    I feel your pain when faced with overgrown sections and the scrolling hedgerow effect of hours of narrow lanes. Some very nice sections though, nice one 👍

    Parts of this look wonderful but could you re-route to find better options?
    I did the KAW and didn’t like the bit through Reading which was awful.
    I revised the route and made a nice option to go around Reading.
    Your camp spots are amazing!
    I really have a problem with sleeping and then if I do get any, I don’t want to get up !
    I’m not a morning person so Premier Inn is my choice if I can find one.
    If not I won’t stop for too long!
    Keep the vids coming, they’re great 😊

    Great videos dude I’ve just binge watched a few of them. Stunning scenery too 👌🏼I was chuckling at the beating around the bush 😂😂 KAW was a bit like that in places. Nettle and briar tastic!

    Love the commentary about the “beat around the bush” road. 😄
    You seem to have traveled ultra-light. Tent in the handlebar bag and everything else in the frame bag?

    Just fix your bar bag, no need to buy a completely new one! It's only a broken strap. Great trip - look forward to doing it myself

    You need to walk up to the cow and give it a good slap on the arse, and shout ‘AAAAAARRRGH!!’ You’ll be amazed how quickly it scatters. Don’t let the Bovine defeat the Human, it’s undignified!

      Make sure it hasn’t got horns and a big pair of back wheels,because if it has they call them bulls and it might well be your the one running away 🤣🤣🤣👍

    so was the bombtrack the right choice for this route or would the camino have been better.
    great vids by the way.....

    Why is the route called a divide? it's more of a loop ride!
