May saw us back in Wales for the Welsh Ride Thing, it’s a fabulous event that I hate to miss and although I had a trip to France the following weekend arranged I got a severe case of FOMO and decided I had to go. It’s always nice to catch up with friends who I…

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…

We were back in Mid Wales for the Bear Bones Bikepacking winter event the Cafe Racer. The weather forecast was changing on an almost hourly basis on the lead up, but in the end the forecast was rain for the latter part of Saturday and clear for Sunday. We’d planned to do a 90 mile…

Heading out of Bear Bones HQ we went a different way to those we have used in the past, out up the valley on the bridleway. It was a good choice, not too steep, but it got us all warmed up ready for the day ahead. We rode a variety of bridleways, heading towards Machynlleth….

We headed to Mid Wales for the Bear Bones Winter Event, the forecast for the week had shown snow and for once it had delivered with the more remote areas having a good covering. We’d decided beforehand that we would head to Lluest Cwm Bach bothy for the night as it was so cold, so…

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…

Apologies, this is going to be a mega blog! I’ve been playing at bivvying with the boys for over a year now. Slowly I’m refining my kit, stuff is slowly getting lighter, more functional and better packed. This was my first multi day trip and I was a bit nervous about it as it was…
