Bikepacking and Touring

We have done a lot of touring over the last 10 plus years: from supported coast to coast, to unsupported tour of south west Ireland, to bikepacking the King Alfred’s Way, and ebike touring.
Our touring experience started when one of our group, who had walked coast to coast, said ‘how are we going to do it next year’?
All touring / bikepacking / expeditions / adventures are fantastic in our opinion – it’s great to get out there and ride.
