Bikepacking The Two Moors Way...my way! | A Six Day Bikepacking Adventure Over Dartmoor & Exmoor
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Learning from my bike touring and overnight bikepacking trips I decided it was time for a multi day bikepacking adventure.
Im no expert at this and very much an average cyclist so planning and preperation was paramount. Some sections I had already crossed on previous bikepacking overnighters and the road touring helped me improve my stamina.
The kit had to be minimal and functional yet affordable. None of my kit is top end stuff.
The trip starts in Exmouth then I pick up the Two Moors Way in Ivybridge and cross Dartmoor south to north mostly offroad.
After a long day of road riding to Rose Ash I set out to finish the Two Moors Way by road riding and then hiking from West Lyn to Lymouth and Lynton.
The second part of my trip crosses Exmoor west to east going offroad to Porlock where I take a break from the high midday temperature.
Setting off late from Porlock I headed east to Wimbleball Lake by trail and road. Then, after a long day of riding and a good nights sleep at Wimbleball I decided to change my route and take a ride alongside the Grand Western Canal and then rejoin my planned route from Kentisbeare back to Exmouth.
Hope you enjoy this one...a big one to edit! hope you like the music too....Happy Trails and thanks for your support.
If you have any questions I will get back to you as soon as possible. The reason I upload these trips to RUclips is to put something back into the platform from which I have learnt and I am still learning from.
Like bikepacking movies? check out this guy...mind blown!

Really enjoyed all the variety of different scenerys and especially the one sunrise, definitely had fun on that adventure thanks.cheers.🗻🌅🌲🌳👍🍻🍖🔥🌅😐
Thanks Dave, had a fun time with the trip although a bit too warm some days. Gave it a shot but it was a hiking route so put my twist on it. Landscapes over the moorands was sublime the rural middle section not so much, thanks again.
Great! Subscribed! Kept me entertained on my static exercise bike while my wrist injury keeps me off my bike. 🚴♀️😊
Hey brill idea 😀, well I hope you heal up quick, been there and know how frustrating it can be.
Enjoyed every minute of this video. I did part of this route, on my bike, some years ago, (Ivybridge to Drewsteignton) and watching this is motivating me to do the whole route. ATB
Nice video. Just a tip...most vloggers these days talk as well. Tell your audience where you are going, stopped, how you feel. It makes the video very interesting.
Your right about that, quality not quantity. Guess I was overwhelmed by the amount of video I had and rushed to get it done. I make vids when im out on trips, I hoped to give some inspiration through youtube as thats where I got my inspiration. Now there are many great new bike packing channels. Good to see bikepacking grow, everywhere. Happy trails.
Brilliant, you have a new sub.ive been waiting for you to do a multi day .very enjoyable don't stop.
enjoyed this video, great looking campsite @10:00 ( empty ! )
I really enjoyed your video Chris: super interesting, enjoyable and I really liked the music! Cheers!
Thanks, I had a couple of multi day bikepacking trips planned for 2020 but that didn't happen! Hope 2021 improves on last year. Happy Trails , Chris.
@@73megalith Same man, I'm hoping to go across Canada this summer but will see if that materializes with the beauty that is Covid 19. Fingers Crossed though.
I've just got into bike packing side of stuff! Going on a 2 week adventure soon.👍 Another great video Chris! 👍
Many thanks Krazy Kat, have an epic 2 week adventure, all the best, Chris.
Absolute quality. Given me a few pointers.. Cheers fella.
Nice one buddy looks like you had a great trip out
Chris great video once again keep them coming 👍
Brill 👍
Really enjoyed this thanks Chris, just looking at getting into bike touring so informative and loved the scenery.
Thoroughly enjoyed this Chris. I've done Taunton Exmouth and Coast to Coast but want to try your idea of a circular route back across Exmoor to Taunton. Well done on that section from Huntingdon Cross up on to Puper's Hill. That's even tricky to walk.
I enjoyed this so much and thank you for sharing. You've inspired me to get a mountain bike/trail bike. I just started road touring last year and rode the Devon C2C south to north then across exmoor so some of you're route was familiar.
New subscriber, been wanting to do this for ages now. Looks like such a great adventure 👍
Excellent content my man. Really enjoyed this film. Thanks.
Good trip and film. Like that you've got a rear carrier, I'd have put the rucksack stuff on there as well. Dartmoor and Exmoor on my wishlist of trips.
Hi Adrian, I use a dropper seatpost so a rack had to be used. Not the lightest out there but I use what I have! Well worth it though on technical downhill section. ATB Chris.
I'm no expert either... the difference between you and I is that I don't want to ride with so few amenities. It's less about the "ride" and miles (and the retelling of the ride) and more about the experience for me. I too went with a full suspension frame but had planned all along on bringing a couple hundred pounds of gear and toys with me. So I chose one that would be able to carry 20 pounds each in all 4 panniers and not have to worry about the frame or a bolt-on rack failing. Add to that a single wheel suspension trailer and I knew I would want (need) some assist so I went with a 1000W mid-drive. Moving from basecamp to basecamp takes some time and concentration, the physics is different moving so much more mass but is so great being able to set up camp, take a real shower, strip the bike down and do long day rides out of as long as food (and toilet paper) hold out. Not sure how many miles you are riding on your tours but an MTB frame may not be optimal. Ride safe dude. - photos.app.goo.gl/Dzni1UdjvW4vaUFx9

Great trip. Liked the video, just needed some more commentary. I'm in Canada and don't know the areas very well, but it looks wonderful. Cheers
Great video! It's really got me hyped as I'm finally getting back into biking again.
What are those horned handle bars you're using? (sorry don't know the right word)
Thanks Ben, the handlebars are from planet x.com and called Mickeys ( previously sold by Alpkit under another name ) the grips are an ergon copy made by lifeline at a much lower price. I have also attached a gadget extender bar to my handlebars under the bar loop, this keeps my kits away from cables and improves stability, hope this helps , happy trails.
@@73megalith Thanks so much for the reply, that's immensely helpful. Especially the gadget bar!
Could I just ask another question if you have time please. I'm looking to do a lot of bike packing, like yourself, over varied terrain. Do you use normal mountain bike tyres or something else?
@@mrgravyman I used maxxis ardent 29 x 2.25 front and rear, recently put a maxxis high roller 29 x 2.35 on the front and maxxis ardent 29 x 2.4 on the rear. The idea being lots of control and grip up front and lower rolling resistance on the rear. Important if your on the road a fair bit. I have no preferences over tubeless/ tubed for bikepacking lots of pro's and con's! Hope this helps, thanks Ben. Happy Trails.
@@73megalith Thanks Chris, you've summed up exactly what I've spent ages looking for! Honestly it's so helpful.
I might see you on the trail someday. Have an amazing day. Thanks again!
Great adventure! I also want to do some bikepacking trips like this and your videos are a inspiration for it.
Simple and efective setup.
..about the video i would like to see more gear and simple tasks rather than the bike trips in fastforward, its not so pleasant for the viewer with that music.. nothing like the real sounds and real image.. Keep enjoying!
Man it's so inspiring! Just seeing the view from behind the bars made me order bottle holders. Love the coke/peanut butter strap too! How did you find the backpack to use?
Hi Jethro , the peanut butter is just great for calorie input, lucky I love the stuff! I tried that choc flavour fuel peanut butter also, never again! I like having a back pack. Some folk don't, the pack has the air space system and vents well. I try to keep valuables and light stuff in there. I had to put extra water in my back pack on the hottest days. ATB, Chris.
@@73megalith that's cool. I'm surprised a backpack worked well especially for water but it might be a good addition to our set ups. Myself and my partner are hoping to do some bikepacking. We just got her an mtb and got some bags for me to give it a go.
What are those bottles holders called attached to you're handle bar ?
"Outdoor Tactical Molle Water Bottle Holder Pouch Military Sport Bag 550ml Black" EBay. These hold my 750ml smart water bottles or cycle drinks bottles no problem. I replaced the drawstring with shock cord. I cable tied the two bags together loosely using the plastic D rings. I purchased some Velcro webbing then simply found the best way to attach to my bikes. A cheap hack that works and I'm happy with them.
@@73megalith thanks for the reply , they look good and practical need to do that myself
Love the filming....great ride....the music isn’t for me as it’s not needed
hi what handlebar is that ?
"On One Mickey" handlebar at Planet X bikes £29.99 on the site now.
@@73megalith What are the dimensions of these parts please ?i.ibb.co/H4Xwrwp/Untitled-1.png thank you
@@pertzian.sounds A 28cm from weld to weld. B 18cm of straight bar.
