Mountainbiking and bikepacking in Sussex and further afield
May Bivvy 1 The weather was pretty good again, but some rain was forecast overnight, I’d been experimenting with different tarp setups, this one was pretty good, certainly lots of space for my kit, but it needs another pole to keep the back up and off your feet. May Bivvy 2 Another bivvy in a…
We made our yearly pilgrimage to Purbeck, we’ve got a couple of different routes that we mix and match when we make the trip west and this time, thanks to Pete, there was a new cafe to investigate too, which is always an important part of any excursion!! Unlike previous trips we took the car…

OK, so I was looking for somewhere to post my random ramblings again, so you’ll find pictures, reports, routes and reviews appearing here as and when I feel the need to write stuff again. I’m going to populate the site with some of the best articles from my other site and then carry on from…
