Hello everyone,

I'm excited to announce the launch of a new Facebook group called Bikepacking with Kids - UK! As a passionate bikepacker with over 10 years of experience, I've recently started planning adventures with my 10-year-old. During this journey, I realised there's a real need for a dedicated space where UK families can discuss and share their bikepacking experiences with kids.

This group is designed to be a supportive and inspiring community for all things related to family bikepacking. Whether you're planning a quick overnight trip or a multi-day tour, you'll find tips, route recommendations, and a place to share your stories and photos.

I believe bikepacking offers incredible opportunities for young people to explore, learn, and grow. It's a fantastic way to get kids out and about, away from screens, and into the great outdoors.

Join us in Bikepacking with Kids - UK to share your adventures, ask questions, and connect with like-minded families.

Looking forward to seeing you there and hearing about your journeys!

Timely, as I've dabbled at bikepacking locally with my kids (currently 12 and 9) which has lead to a bit of a tandem build at the moment after the 9 year old expressed an interest in something bigger like the WRT this year.

Great idea thanks. I've toyed with the idea of going out with the kids. They're 8 and 5. Looking forward to seeing what others are doing.

Aww excellent! I take my toddler every year. I've kept it local for the past 2 years, but thinking of the Devon C2C this summer. Just need to juggle the logistics of a trailer and train

Nice one, Alex.

Do you know cyclesprog.co.uk? Karen there may be worth getting in touch with for some mutual promotion.

Excellent idea
I've sent my request to join. I've been bikepacking with my 9year old daughter over the last few years. Now having to plan on taking my 5 year old son along with us. Logistics around carrying equipment and easy route ideas are the headache, but looking forward to seeing other peoples ideas to get inspiration.
