In this video, I head across the border to Suffolk, to meet up with Luke (Hippyswift) for a three day wild camping bike-packing adventure - self propelled and self sufficient. Travelling and exploring by bike is great fun - you can cover good distances in relative comfort (despite the hills!) and you can carry a good amount of gear without the aches and pains associated with backpacking.
We head off from Nacton on the River Orwell estuary and cycle north, passing the pretty town of Woodbridge and on up to historical Framlingham with its impressive, well preserved castle. After a break and well earned cold pint of beer, we continue to our destination for the night - a small woodland nears the town of Halesworth.
A steak and mash dinner, smothered in lashings of Steak Detective Liberation sauce and washed down with a beer or two and it was time to rest our weary heads for the night and dream about the adventures to be faced on day two!
Episode two coming shortly.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

What an awesome few days exploring the British countryside & who better to share that experience with than Simon. We had an amazing few days Bikepacking & wild camping around Suffolk, taking in the views, food & local historical places. too much to see in just one weekend, fingers crossed we can arrange another great adventure like this one soon. Massive thank you to Simon for joining me on this trip, it was an absolute honour to meet such a charismatic & humble guy. Peace

Hi folks, I forgot to mention Luke’s video - he was also filming the trip, Here’s the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q0ZrQCMvIRI.html - I’ve also put a link to his channel in the description box - he’s got huge amounts of excellent content on bike packing, cycle touring, bushcraft, kit and all sorts, so please head over and take a look. Cheers, Simon

Those little clips of the seashore and the wind blowing there at the end makes me think you should build a sail for your bike also lol. Great video.

@@tcschenks Yeah it’s pretty sad that a lot of our ancestors came from that area and how little we really know about it. Every time he takes a walk or goes for a paddle and show us his maps I am on Google earth checking the place out. It would really be nice to be able to take a trip there someday and spend a couple of weeks just checking out the different areas.

Yes that white water shoot was awesome. But I have to admit I almost teared up when he broke the bottom of that Cedar strip canoe. I like building things myself so I know how much time in care goes into projects. It was nice to watch him repair it and it looked good as new.

Just offering a suggestion from an old bicycle tourist. Try raising your saddle about two inches. Your leg should be nearly fully extended ( with a slight bend ) when you place your foot on the "down peddle" when sitting on your saddle. You will surprised the difference it will have on knee pain.

Awesome video Simon. i did a mtb climb camp and decend in Germany while i was serving there and one in Scotland they wherent solo but we did sleep under basha's Tarps) cooked on open fire, and enjyed a few wee tipples in the evenings as well as a rather random walk down to the local pub (which took a lot longer to get to than we'd have liked on our first night out in Bavaria) Anyways you truly can beat that soirt of thing the bike lets you get a lot further than you can in the given time on foot .... plus the decent takes a quarter of the time and its awesome fun. Great video mate well done
