  • Back on the bike again , I have sort lost my way a bit recently for solo wildcamps but I will be back very soon with a bog standard hill camp .
    On this one we start at Warrington railway station then head south along the canals.
    Join us as we have no real plan and see where we end up.

    Very interesting adventure Dave, I got dejavu on the first part though:) Seeing those wear marks from the ropes on the bridges was quite something. Last camp spot was a good find. I'm hoping to go out bike packing again soon but got hit by a nasty summer bug and feeling under the weather at the mo :(

    Thank god no arm bands were needed Dave 😂 Two bodies moving the bikes were definitely a help at that tight spot 😮 Nice to see what you both got up to - lovely food and beers along the way!! 😊

    Once again you done well not to end up in the cut after seeing how bad some of them towpaths were! Great to see the canal from the boat lift to Watcroft as that's where I use to live and go picking damsons as there are a couple of trees along there. Great watch, looks like you both enjoyed it!

    Superb ride out Dave. There seemed to be a nice pace - not to much of a rush. Just how we like if we're to enjoy the paths and countryside. The weather opened up but you had some nice pit stops. This wasn't peaks but pints. Tough with the willow though but a short haul and out the other side. Good going pitches and all. Mark

      Thanks Mark it was an enjoyable trip but the British summer wasn’t playing ball. Still got to love the canals and towpaths. Atb Dave
