This is a trip I did in May just before the HTR550, it's taken a while to get round to sorting out the pics and getting some notes down. It’s closer to lightish touring than proper bikepacking, but for 2 weeks I wanted a bit more comfort. The train from Stratford upon Avon wasn't until 11:30 so a de...

Can I join the party please? Having recently bought a few new bits and bobs, some from Stu, I thought I'd better go and try them out with a trip out after work. Cue rather more faffing about than I'd foreseen getting everything fitted to the bike, I eventually got away around 8ish last night. Now I'...

Great write-up in the CTC mag that dropped on my mat today, by Dave Barter about the WRT

Apologies for gate crashing this, I'd be interested in a set of these as well

I did pick a good night, but it was a really good 1st go, just a quick overnighter in the local woods less than 10...

Hi, this is my first post here so please be gentle! Posting here cos I did just this a couple of years ago - packed my bike into an lbs cardboard box, flew to Montpellier and basically cycled back as far as the ferry near Caen over a couple of weeks. Pretty much the best couple of weeks ever, French...
