10 things no one tells you about bikepacking!

Kit & Gear, Mountain Biking, Travel August 5, 2018
As you may have seen from my last blog, I’ve just got back from 2 weeks bikepacking in Slovenia. This was originally booked as a very deliberate Type 1 fun holiday, as for the past three years, every holiday has been mountaineering, climbing or ski-mountaineering.

Baby steps up big things.

Climbing, Mountaineering, Travel August 1, 2017
Location location On booking this holiday, the plan had been to head over to Saas Fee as it has a number of achievable 4000m peaks we could ‘try and tick off’ (Tom’s words not mine!).

Bank Holiday Adventures Part 1: Wales

Climbing, Running, Travel, ViewRanger September 10, 2015
As per normal, I was running late – Friday seemed to have flown by and before I knew it, it was 6 o’clock and not only had I not set off for Wales I hadn’t packed! At this stage the plan was simple – don’t worry about packing light, just get everything in the car. […]
