Gaz96 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 After quite enjoying camping through my duke of Edinburgh at school I thought next year, I'd quite like to get on my mountain bike and explore! Just cycling somewhere, and camping wherever I end up... I live in the country so I know I'll find many mountains to ride on my travels. Anyway was just thinking about a bag, when we went walking we used the big massive hill walking bags, they're great for keeping all your stuff in but was thinking might be a bit to big to ride some trails with? Was really wanting any suggestions for bags that are big enough to keep a tent in ect but still able to shred! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 If you're doing that sort of thing you would be much better off with a bivvy bag and a light weight tarp instead of a tent, pair that with a decent sleeping bag and air matt that will pack small then you won't have to carry a tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Get in touch with Iain Withers (owner of The Clan) he goes on a few bivvy rides with groups, he'll be able to offer advice and because he's in the Glasgow/Edinburgh area you could always meet up for the next one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
