I'm after stealing your best pictures, I can offer no fortune in return but they will be credited to you, so a tiny bit of fame perhaps.

What I'm after are pictures that truly capture bikepacking as it is in reality - I'm not wanting to portray some romantic, 'Mills and Boon' lifestyle notion of it. Sadly, blurred snap-shots of your shoe won't really cut it, if they did I could supply the entire world with pictures

If you think you have something suitable that you'd be happy to see in print, could you email it across - stuart@bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk They don't need to be high res' at the moment but I will most likely require the full size image at some point.

Ooh and I still need a cover shot, so think on

Thank you all - as you were.

All my pics tend to show the nice bits of bikepacking - nice views, interesting stuff, pics of the bivy spot etc. I can't be bothered to get my phone out to capture the misery

They don't have to depict misery Ben, just bikepacking as it really is. If that's a cracking camp spot or a stunning sunrise it's all good.

Hopefully no one will take this the wrong way ... I'm after less 'American style' pictures. There I've said it, flame away

Surely it needs to be the picture of the Fargo stuck in the bog for the front cover?

What about the bikepacking shot that was in the Trail magazine comp?

I'll have a look through my efforts but I think last year I was mainly shooting Gopro stuff so might not have much, but do have some from The Sandstone Way which might be suitable. I'll put them up on Picasa and send you a link

Well, these two are basically the only half decent pics I have from last year :) feel free.

the peak district's lovely, I'm pretty sure that those are Robin Hood's Knobs :)

I'll try to ping you over an email with some pics

If that's want you want I have literally terabytes of images portraying that!

I took that pic, you're welcome to it Stu.

And the caption is: "So Sir Bradley, you reckon you can park a bike eh?"

There's a good few in this thread http://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpBB ... f=7&t=6705

I'll have a dig through my albums and pick a few out.

Here's a few for starters.

Not done many decent trips, but are any these of any use?

Any good let me know and I will email them. Only 5.6 megapixels though.

Stuart,
Perhaps you have seen a photo that you like somewhere? As you have said before, bikepacking means different things to everyone. Show us an example.

More importantly, it's nice to know you're a closet Mills and Boons reader.

Difficult - really, it's no good me showing you an example as it might sway someone from sending something brilliant. If there's a picture that inspires you, chances are it'll inspire others too.

Thank you to everyone who's sent stuff through, sent links and put stuff here, ta very much

Here are a few that you're welcome to (I've avoided anything too alpine):

Got loads of landscapes and tent-type shots, but not much of bikepacking in action. Will see what I can dig up over the weekend though

I'll have a look later tonight Stu.

...sitting at home with a cold instead mocking about in the snow

Nice pics there, Gian.

I will surely have some suitable ones of various situations - I'll dig them out later.
