Just One More Hill: A Bikepacker's Tales from the Trails

All books bought direct are signed.

Follow Mike’s journey into bikepacking, blending lessons learnt with practical advice. Enjoy tales from some of the UK’s most iconic routes, including the Highland Trail 550, Trans Cambrian and Lakeland 300. At its heart is his Cylchdaith Cymru/Welsh 550 ride around his adopted home of Wales. A naturalist, mountaineer and educator, Mike weaves observations of landscape, land management and the people he meets into a bikepacking travelogue for our times.

This is a new and improved version of Riding My Bike. It features sketch maps, route summaries, links to GPX files, pen and ink sketches, an index and lessons learnt boxes.

And it's cheaper here than on Amazon!

"An engaging account of bikepacking as it should be done, with head up and eyes open."
Jethro Jessop, Bikepacker and YouTuber

HIGHLY COMMENDED

“A gentle and enjoyable read which is subtly informative. We really liked the author’s approach, taking readers along with him as he progresses from novice to more skilled practitioner… with self-effacing humour he shares his mistakes along the way…”

The judges also said: 

There is some interesting techie info (GPX files) there, too, for those who want to do the routes he has described – and his descriptions are quite delightful, even when the fun is of the ‘type 2’ variety. 

A well-written, realistic approach to bikepacking, with a range of accommodation experienced, depending on the weather!
