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…

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….

Snowy Elan Valley

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…

Welsh ride thing 2016

The Welsh Ride Thing last year was my first foray into multi day bikepacking, and it was such an amazing weekend. Well how things change in a year, now I’m on the countdown to riding the Tour Divide and this years event was a good excuse for Tom and I to test our bikes with…

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…

lluest cwm bach bothy

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…
