We’ll do a two day overnight instructional experience, as a group, to show you all the basics you need to know so that then it’s easy for you to get out and have your own adventures.
We’ll kit you out with all the bikepacking luggage you need to carry your stuff on your bike. We'll give you advice on what you could fit your bike with.
We’ll discuss what to take, how to plan and how to get things ready but then we’ll learn by doing; heading off the beaten track on a guided overnight bikepacking adventure covering all the stuff you need to know along the way.
