  • In this video, I head off to the woods on my bike on a bike-packing mini adventure.Having found a nice spot amongst the pines, I set up my tarp and hammock and begin to get things ready for an enjoyable evening of good food and the relaxing rhythm of the forest.
    Liver and onions is on the menu, washed down with a superb beer - before settling down to a comfortable night’s sleep, swinging in the light summer breeze.
    I hope you enjoy the video.
    Thanks for watching!

My health brought me down so i have not even attempted going camping. Its been 2 years since i got to kayak also, even longer to canoe.
