Doethie Valley

You may not ever have heard of the Doethie Valley, but chances are if you’ve read UK MTB magazines regularly you will have seen a photo of it on a cover at one time or another. We’d arranged a daytrip to Bikepark Wales and it seemed like an ideal opportunity to stay overnight and take…

Welsh Ride Thing 2018

Rather than the rush of previous years we left on Friday morning, the journey from Worthing can take seven or eight hours so it was nice to arrive at the bunkhouse mid afternoon in stead of at midnight like last time! An honourary mention must go to Hafren Forest Bunkhouse, we first stayed here for…

Bach 2 Bach

This was going to be an interesting weekend, first time away somewhere more remote for Tom, first time loaded up on my new Travers and first time for us both with what we imagine to be our Tour Divide kit shared between us. The weather forecast was horrific, but the reality was somewhat better, initially…
