Perhaps you do not want to commit to an all inclusive weekend trip, or you might already be staying in the area on holiday and want to try bikepacking with a guide for just one night.  

Jim has carefully put together this 18 hour, ‘Sub 24 hours Overnighter - S24O’ experience from 5pm one day until 11am the next.  This micro adventure is for folk who might be completely new to bikepacking, camping or biking off road, or you might only have time for an S24O.  You do not need any special equipment, just a love of the outdoors and a sense of adventure!  Group sizes are from one rider to a maximum of four so that everyone gets more time to take in such a memorable experience.

1. Grab your bike, it doesn’t really matter what kind, as long as it’s safe and works!

2. Put a sleeping bag, a change of clothes, a toilet bag, a head torch and a snack for later  in a rucksack.

3. Contact Jim at rideawaybikepacking to arrange a date to try bikepacking between 5pm and 11am the next day.

4. Meet Jim and then get all your gear with any extras fitted into some bike luggage and then loaded onto your bike.

5. Ride for an hour or so to a comfortable camping spot for the night.

6. Set up camp using a high quality, lightweight tent or shelter provided for use free of charge.

7. Enjoy a hot drink and snack before spending a quiet, comfortable night out under the stars.

8. Wake up bright and early with a cup of coffee amongst the beautiful sights and sounds of the forest, hills or river.

9. Pack up, then ride off to one of our local bakeries or cafes for a second breakfast.

10. Get home before lunch and tell all your friends and family how much fun it was and that they should try bikepacking!
