For many years, I’ve felt a strong desire to go bikepacking. TBH, I’ve never quite summoned the courage to do it, especially venturing out on my own. However, I recently met a fellow cyclist named Norman during my Channel to Med trip in 2023. At the remarkable age of 76, he plans to cycle around the coast of England; raising money for Myton Hospice & Prostate Cancer. He is starting in May 2026, with a mix of camping and B&B’s. I couldn’t pass up the chance to join him (be rude not to really) I’ll be leaving home & cycling to Malvern, Worcestershire, then onto Chepstow, Monmouthshire & meeting up him & cycling around the Welsh coast! 😊🚴♀️👍
Embarking on this adventure is a leap into the unknown for me, as I’ve never camped or bike-packed before. It’s definitely pushing me beyond my comfort zone! 😮 I’m sure being outside of your comfort zone is good 😳 Most of my family and friends believe I’ll only manage one night under the stars before retreating to a hotel. We’ll see how it goes—Yikes!!
IF you have read this and haven’t fallen asleep, thank you.
Norman does like company and has appealed for people to join him on his journey, so if you would like to support him, leave a comment or send me a message and I’ll get back you.
