• Can anyone recommend a route?

    Want to take a train out of London sat am. Ride, camp, ride the next day. (Maybe back to London?)

    Gpx route would be good

    Mixture of gravel and road..

  • I didn't do much on the gravel side of things (a bit near Symonds Yat and Tintern Abbey, you could tweak the route to do more if you wanted) but I did a great trip a few weeks ago - train to Bristol Parkway open return (so did a modified route back the same way the next day), cycle over the Severn and up the Wye Valley and then across into the Brecon Beacons, up over Hay bluff towards Hay on Wye to camp out. Roughly reverse course the next day, taking in some of the different bits in the Wye valley.

    Beautiful scenery throughout and really varied. Can dig out a GPX route when I get a chance, but I was really pleased with how well the trip went.

  • Would also be interested in that route wot you just said. I don't get much opportunity for overnight passes (work + 2yo = no free time) and have been trying to plan a route from Bristol for this year. What sort of distance was that and how much trafficky road vs. pleasant path/track was there?

  • thanks, i would love to see that route for another time

    I think we're going to do south downs way, winchester - eastbourn, wild camping halfway
