BIKEPACKING WEEKEND - GREAT DUN FELL, UK

This weekend is organised by our community member KEN WYNN - what a legend to put this together and to have the incredible inside knowledge of how to do it - the right routes, accommodation and logistics. 

This is a great starting adventure for those keen to get more into bikepacking. It will social (no racing snake mindsets) but of course you will need all the kit and a bit of fitness behind you to complete the distance :) We can take care of that at City Alps in our classes !
