Join me on this mini adventure as I set off from home and head to the local hills for a quick overnight camp, and take in the views along the way visiting a couple of old churches.
With a short weather window of sunshine and relatively warm temps I make the most of my days off.
Just remember you don’t need to travel far to do a BikePacking trip, if time is an issue short overnight trips to local haunts will just be as fulfilling,and are a great way of testing your setup for longer trips.

    Nice video Dave, Nice drone shots, nice tent:) I think these small micro adventures are what I am going to be doing more of, I would love to do big miles and multi days, but dogs and family commitments say otherwise!

    That’s the beauty of just doing overnighters Sandy , you can be home mid morning. As I always say it’s always good to be out even for a short time . Tfw atb Dave ⛺️🚲👍

    Nice video Dave, first time I've come here to your channel. Being from Australia (East side) I've always admired the English Countryside and while the roads are generally narrower, there's always beautiful hedges and cobblestone fences as you go past and the History there is amazing, the old churches and tombstones, the undulations of the landscape and no wonder it's always green over there with the amount of rain you get although on saying that, Eastern Australia has copped a decent dumping over the past 3 years causing flood issues in certain parts. Little bicycle adventures are something I want to do once i sort out some camping kit because i'm tired of all you lucky people having all the fun lol. New subscriber here......cheers!!

    Thanks for looking in , I suppose we just take it all for granted living in this quaint country . And yes we a very green due to the amount of rain we get 😂😂 but back to the bike camping , I would recommend it as a way of seeing what countryside your beautiful nation has on offer 👍 tfw atb Dave 👍 being and 80s kid I do love the “men at work “ song down under brings back happy memories of the 80s. Nightclubs , beer and being free 🍺

    Nice video, I have the big agnes bikepacking version with the short poles. Great tent only used it on two overnighters. At 70 bikepacking isn't for me. Think it'll be up for sale shortly, B&Bs for me now.

    Do you ever think of putting your bike onto a train. Then cycling back home from your destination? I think it beats a circular ride from your home. It’s a great way of touring the U.K. or England even. Wales in my case. Thanks for sharing.
