hippyswiftUK Bikepacking Route with a Special Guest, Simon, a bloke in the woods. We had an amazing time cycling & Wild Camping around the UK Coastline & Castles Bikepacking Route. This route takes us through some of the most Beautiful & Historic places in the United Kingdom. Starting near Ipswich, we follow the river Deben into Woodbridge where we scoff down some fish & chips. After lunch we set off toward Halesworth via quiet roads & even stop off at Framlingham Castle for a quick look and a cheeky pint. after a 35 mile ride to Halesworth, Simon & I setup camp in an old Bushcraft Camp I created over 10 years ago. Day two we headed East towards the ancient lost City of Dunwich, passing through Southwold along the way. After a short break we set off to Orford Castle, only stopping to rest at another historic location, Leiston Abby, which still has its main walls remaining & has some beautiful architecture. From Orford Castle (which had scaffolding around it) we tried to find a good place to camp in the local pine forests of Suffolk.

Riding my Van Nicholas Ventus 15 miles to Evans cycles, I planned to get my Road Bike disc brakes bleed. since my recent vehicle collision, the front brake has been awfully underpowered. Unfortunately, the mechanic wasn't there on Thursday so I took another day off work to go back on Friday. After the bleed it felt ok in the shop, but when I tested the brakes on the road not much happened. I think the front brake has about 1/4 the power it should & after the bleed I thought it should have been cured. All ended on a very positive note when I stopped by The Fox pub in Newbourne, where I had a lovely meal for Dinner.

This combination of gear is ideal for most weather conditions here in the UK. All views are my own opinion & are not effected by outside sources.
My new Van Nicholas Titanium Revelstoke mtb is going strong & I have many offroad adventures planned for 2021. I would also love to try their Rowtag bike in the future as the build quality of their Ti bikes is amazing, the new Rowtag is a gravel/all terrain bike with muiltiple rack & bottle mounts, alongside this what interests me most about the Rowtag bicycle is the fact it can suit all of my riding adventures. I could ride it offroad with 42mm tires, I could put front & rear panniers on it for a loaded touring bike, I can also set it up for upcoming lightweight bikepacking adventures & finally, I could cycle many more miles with ease in Ultra events & audax.
