Summer 2020 I headed west to Newquay once again to meet my family for our summer holiday. This year I had Chris along with me and I’d allowed a week and planned a longer, more complicated route than previous years, with the hope of seeing a decent slice of south west England. Day 1 took…

Wey Arun canal

In the summer of 2019 I put together a loop using the Downs Link path north to Cranleigh, then following as closely as legally possible the Wey Arun canal back. The route worked out OK, but living where I do we end up using the Downs Link a lot and let’s face it, that can…

French Ride Thing

We’d decided that just for a change we’d do a multi day ride in Normandy, instead of doing the Welsh Ride Thing, though actually I got a real case of FOMO and ended up going and doing that too! We were looking to get in as much off road as possible and I used Komoot…

SD300 banner

So if you’ve explored the site at all you may have seen SD300 up in the menu bar above. It’s a 300KM bikepacking route I have created on the South Downs and all though I have ridden it all I haven’t hit it in one go myself yet (very soon though….). Recently two people have…

Today was our second serving of Shredona, featuring the Bell Rock Path, Phone, Bell Rock Singletrack Bypass, Slim Shady, Hiline, Baldwin, Templeton and Slim Shady (reversed). It was much hotter at around 33°C, so it was a tough day’s riding. The Hiline trail was both scary and spectacular at the same time, with a very…

Blackburn Outpost cage

Like most people who get really into Bikepacking I’m always experimenting with kit set ups and ways of loading my bike up. For me the ultimate is to not use a backpack, it’s so nice to not be carting extra kit on my back and if that means a heavier bike I’m really not bothered….

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…

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…
