I'm off on a bikepacking tour along the Northumberland Coast on my Brompton folding bike. My goal is to find at least four castles along the way.
It's my toughest cycling tour, a 140-km journey over three days and two nights along country roads, coast paths, and National Cycle Route One.
Despite the challenging weather and constant battle against headwinds, the experience of exploring Northumberland, a place I had never been to before, was incredible.
If you came across my adventure film, thank you for watching it. Part 2 will be coming soon!
In Part 1, I visited:
Morpeth, Cresswell, Amble, Warkworth, Shilbottle, Alnwick, Dunstan, Craster and Dunstanburgh Castle.
