What do I pack when cycletouring with children
What did we pack for our recent cycle tour on the Rebellion Way – a keeping it real unpacking session!
Cycling the Rebellion Way
Ewan and I cycled the Rebellion Way in Norfolk for our Annual Summer Cycletour in 2023
A BIG adventure to Zuiderpark parkrun for our Alphabet Challenge
This was no little adventure, but a great big one – all with the aim of ticking off Zuiderpark parkrun to add a Z to our parkrun alphabet challenge.
My “Heart Home” – Cycling in Gairloch & Loch Ewe
On my last trip to Gairloch, I took a “cycle-ride down memory lane” revisiting the places and experiences that have made it a much loved destination for me over the years.
Are family adventures expensive?
Can you have a family adventure and it not cost the earth?
Cycling the Grand Union Canal from London
A random day off from school for Ewan gave us the opportunity for a late November adventure, catching the train to London to ride back along the Grand Union Canal.
Snowdonia Marathon Eryri – The Hardest UK Road Marathon?
A fabulous marathon, made so special by the landscape, the community support, the terrain and the many wonderful runners you meet and chat to along the way. You climb 838 metres (2749 feet).
Ewan and I Bikepacking the Cantii Way
Our ride took us 150 miles on a mixture of gravel tracks, cycle paths and quiet country lanes starting in Wye amongst the Kent Downs and taking us round the coast through Margate, Dover and Dungeness before heading back inland to return to Wye.
Plan for Ewan’s Fourth Cycle Tour – The Cantii Way
Ewan and I have been captivated by the new route from Cycling UK – the Cantii Way – so after a Scottish Coast to Coast Cycle tour last year, we’re heading right down South East to explore an area of the country we’ve never really been to before.
Iona’s First Cycle Tour in Staffordshire
Iona’s first time cycle touring, we cycled from Crewe to Wolverhampton via Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford and of course included a parkrun en-route at Trentham Gardens.
Plan for Iona’s first Cycling Touring Adventure
With much poring over train timetables, NCN network maps, parkrun events map and pitchup for campsites and some time spent plotting on Komoot, we have a plan for our Iona’s first cycle touring adventure.
Does Iona have mountaineer legs?
Has Iona got what it takes to climb mountains? Is parkrun easier or harder than ascending 2000ft in 2 miles? Or would it be all too much for an 8 year old?
