My Girlfriend and I went for a 10 Day Bikepacking trip to Corse in the beginning of september.
10/10 – Big recommendation for this island, the lonely roads and the super friendly people.
We were traveling with camping gear and opted for small campsites. Wildcamping seems to be a bit dangerous or at least not really welcome on Corsica due to the growing number of camping vans all around the Island. Gearlist follows.
* Vaude Space Seamless UL 1-2 Tent
* Exped Ultra Duo Mat (105 CM Wide)
* Therm-A-Rest Space Cowboy Sleeping Bags (next time switching to a wider quilt)
* Jökel Pillows <3
* Jetboil Flash Cooker
* Aeropress Coffee Maker
* Puffy, Rainjacket, some casual clothing to enjoy the local cuisine
* 2 Sets of cycling gear for each of us (2 Bibs, 2 Jerseys, 2 Baselayer, 1 Vest)
* Teva Sandals
​
Bags we used
* Ortlieb Seatpack 16L (Both)
* Canyon Fork Bags & Baseplates
* Canyon Framebag
* Canyon TopTube Bag
* Gramm TopTube (Custom)
* Gramm Framebag (Custom)
* Topeak Versacages with Patagonia Black Hole Cube
* 6 L Drybag (LoweAlpine) below the Aerobar

post saved! I did the GR20 many years ago and fell in love with the island, but it was tough. Would love to try cycling next time
Cycling must be spectacular but boy you must have good legs to deal with the mountains!
