    Time to get out for another adventure, this time it was on two wheels. I rode my trusty old Diamond back atb bike a total distance of 40 miles. Stopped off briefly for a workshop tour of Bulldog paramotors then cycled onto my overnight destination, a wild camp in Savernake forest.

    Nice little break for you Sandy, bikes are such great tools for getting that little bit further in a short space of time than you could on foot. The invention of the bicycle literally improved the gene pool 200 years ago. When people suddenly went outside the village to find a wife. A most enjoyable watch.

      I'm going to do some more bike packing this year Sam. The legs are getting stronger and 30/40 milers are within easy reach now. When I was a bit younger my longest day was 118 miles and my longest overall journey was Lands end to John o groats. Cycled in 12 days back in 1992 on my old Revell Romany. I still have that bike but I prefer the more comfortable ride with the atb with fatter low pressure tyres.

    Bike's the way to do it Sandy..... fit panniers and get the weight off of your back, far more comfortable. I fit nearly all of my usual wild camping gear on my bike without going too lightweight. Can't manage without a small gas stove and coffee in the morning though!
    Great mini adventure, enjoyed joining you via youtube again.

    With all the D-Day commemorations taking place this little mini adventure reminds me of those push bikes being dropped by plane and being cycled off down tracks and into hidey holes. Radios being set up sending messages back to Blighty or guiding in allied planes. Bikes are a fantastic much underrated way to get about. Maybe add panniers to your rack and take some load off your shoulders, could add a tiny stove then for some warm brew to go with your cold food. All the best Sandy, look forward to seeing more bike adventures!
