Hi all,
Just wanted to hi! New member and new to bike Packing!
I had discussed trying out some bike packing with my wife, and then got lots of nice ortlieb bike bags for Christmas so I guess I should do something about it!
Having never wild camped or bivied it is all going to be a bit of an adventure!
I don't really have a clue what I am doing so will be reading lots of threads to get ideas!
Cheers

I live in deepest darkest hampshire :D the SDW is about 8miles south of me, and I have had quite a few friends do it in a day (and one working on doing the double). I am no where near as fast, which is why I am thinking of bimbling along it over two days :D
cheers
