In early March, I decided it was time to see some proper hills again, so I took my Brompton and my tent, and cycled through North Wales. I aimed for a mix of wild camping, campsites and a YHA hostel over the 4 days. Not everything went to plan.... The weather was wild! I was very glad I had my rock-solid Hilleberg tent - and earplugs. But the reward for battling the weather was being out there, alone in the empty, wintry, lonely hills and lanes. It was fantastic.
This bikepacking trip was the hardest I've done since having chemotherapy for breast cancer, which unfortunately came back last year. I've been building myself up since finishing chemo, just with frequent snippets of exercise every day, nothing crazy, just lots of little bits of plain nice old walking, running, cycling and some strength training. This ride was a bit of a test to see how well it's working...
The goal of the ride was to go and see family in Anglesey. All the cancer treatment etc meant that last year I didn't see much of my family and friends. I thought it would be brilliant to cycle & camp my way to see everyone now. Thank you to my sister-in-law! who welcomed me when I arrived at their house, quite bedraggled - but very happy.
Hope you enjoy the film! Thank you for watching!
Негізгі бет Wales! Bikepacking on a Brompton - empty roads, empty hills - snow, rain, sun, hail, happiness!
