Nice to have Katherine here! Great info guys at Cycling weekly!
Thanks…she did Dirty Kanza ! Tough person !! Be safe .
Thanks for having me! Stoked to try some more this summer, perhaps once the rain backs off a bit…
Some good routes there. I did half of the southdowns way on a CX bike once…… would use a mountain bike if I had to do it again as no suspension was too hard going.
Looked at your Komoot profile, and couldn't see the Wales routes you featured .. they looked epic. Can you point me at the right place please. Ta😉
A familiar face.
Wow it was a surprise to see Kath as a guest, I am following her on Komoot and I have to say, I am getting exhausted just by seen what she is doing, she is on the saddle day and night 😀 Great video, great information, thank you. At least we have cycling videos these rainy days 😀
Love it
Great video , very inspiring , Many thanks. See you on the trails.
Gb divide ?
Why didn't you mention just a road one, I understand most bike packing cyclists prefer gravel but some prefer road as well. Thanks
Katherine is brilliant. More please!
Great to see Katherine providing content here, she is definitely in her element on gravel. Hope to see more.
Did King Alfred’s way in 5 days on a hybrid bike. Thoroughly enjoyable. Just wouldn’t recommend doing it when wet due to mud and chalk. Slippy.

What bikes are you using?

Another good reason to ride off road in the UK is that you don’t have to worry about bears and big cats! Here in the US it can be a real concern on some routes.
Central Wales has a desert due to the very low density of stock the poor ground will sustain.That's the definition of a desert. Cwmystwyth had leadmines. Slate is restricted to North Wales. Mid Wales has a lot of lead and shale.
The Sandstone Way is very good.
