Camino de Santiago trial run

Only two weeks till we head down South, to Bordeaux, to start our Camino de Santiago. We've been doing some planning and are taking our mountain bikes to the North of England this bank holiday weekend, to ride the Trans Pennine Trail.

We'll be putting some more information nearer the time, but for now these are our bikes in Camino mode, or bikepacking as it is known nowadays. We're each carrying about 6 kg worth of stuff, including sleeping bags. After this ride we will hopefully be able to introduce some last minute changes and assess whether this set up is appropriate for off-road cycling.

13-years old (the bike, not me!) and still going strong
