No Route, No Problem – Bike Packing The Lake District

Hi!

In this video I hear to the Lake District without any plans or route. The sole purpose was to camp out under the stars and have fun!

If you enjoyed this edit, you can purchase a slice of pizza 🍕 for me here; www.buymeacoffee.com/allenboardman it helps power me through until the next film!
