Starting at the Severn Bridge, I set off on a ride along the entire England-Wales border. 200 miles of back roads, rough tracks, brutal climbs, and some seriously boggy trails. The plan? Zigzag my way north, crossing between England and Wales more times than I can count, camping along the way. This is bikepacking the wales, England border divide

Seemed like a tough route. Great idea though to trace the border.
Tough ride mate but as always you got it done. Thanks for taking us along ATB Coops 👍🏻🚴
You're one determined chap Josh, kudos sir. Great job on a great ride, looked tough in places but you were rewarded with better days.
Howdy everyone, and thanks for tuning in for another bikepacking adventure, I trust you all have had a good week and enjoyed the weekend with some adventures yourself. This week i am following the Wales/England border from south to north hope you enjoy this one. Thanks again for the continued support.

Well done Josh. Welcome to Herefordshire and the Border. To people who live around here we know how brutal the Border is. Longtown and up around Kington and Shropshire Border is rugged, with steep climbs and plenty of them. Great video of my neck of the woods. Harsh, severe, tough and rough but Oh the views are worth it! 😃
Awesome mate. Your mental strength is always impressive. Saying that.. I'd rathet be riding with you in some beautiful scenery and fresh air than stuck on a building site all week. I hate it lol
Keep up the great work buddy!
