Monday morning i'll be embarking on my first multi day bike packing trip...On me tod!
![Surprised :o](./images/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)
Fascinated with the idea of adventure from the doorstep i've plotted a 4 day, 300k route from Leeds, taking in Appletreewick, Gisburn, Askrigg and many meandering quiet roads and bridleways in between. Aptly named the GBV300

More than a little nervous...Weather looks a bit showery (and cold at night) and i've decided to only pack a tarp instead of my tent. I'll have the option of a bothy on one of the nights and considering i've never stayed in one it'll be quite an adventure.
At roughly 50 miles a day the effort needed will also be new to me. I believe i'm more than fit enough though.
To make it a little easier i'm dropping in at friends houses along the way to say hi. Guess you could call that my safety net.
Got all the right kit including a titanium mug and mini brew kit for morning coffee. Even have a pillow! My mat is an Exped UL9 so that should keep me warm.
Would be nice to share my journey with like minded people. I'd call this a beginner to multi day trips bike packing route with plenty of civilisation (aka village cafes and pubs!)
If you see a girl on a rigid Trek Stache with Alpkit all over it say hi.
