Just finished a bike packing trip with wildswimbikerun. Excellent guide with loads of knowledge not just about Bath & the surrounding area but about bike packing and wild camping. Thoroughly enjoyed a night under the stars with just a bivvy bag and a tarp. Great kit and overall experience, would thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in cycling, camping or the great outdoors! - |
