Join an all female team bike packing 500km along the Great North Trail

Join a TeamBelinda Kirk

I am looking for women to join me on a biking packing trip - 500km along The Great North Trail. Starting from Edinburgh and ending in the Peak District.

The dates are 28th May to Thursday 2nd June. The plan it to cycle 100km per day with a rest day in the middle. With a mixture of wild camping, campsites and BnB’s at either end (depending on peoples budgets)

The Great North trail is 65% off-road with some stunning scenery and opportunities for wild swimming to cool off after a ride.
All levels of experience welcome from first-time wild campers to those training for the 2022 summer season of bike packing races.

Whilst training for the Great British Divide bike-packing race last year I met so many brilliant female cyclists but when it came to the race itself, there were few female competitors. I want to provide a fun way to experience bike packing and the amazing freedom it has to offer.

For anyone interested they can email me at grace.bovis@gmail.com for more details.

P.S I am loving listening to Adventure Revolution via audible.
Many thanks

Grace
