Bikepacking the Peddars Way - Beach Cowboy Camp
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ส.ค. 2024
- I was joined by Ross for a one night bikepacking trip. On the first day we rode the Peddars Way in Norfolk, a 50 mile route from Knettishall (near Thetford) to Holme-next-the-Sea; we then wild camped on the beach, before biking around to Kings Lynn the next morning where we got the train back to Thetford.
This was my last overnight training ride/trip before travelling to Canada to start the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route at the start of July. I will be uploading videos from the ride as I go, so if you want to follow along please make sure to subscribe if you haven't already.
Thank you for watching.

23:06 speaking in my own defense, I would argue that a man who can go wild camping, and wait for plumbed facilities at which to relieve himself, is a man in complete control of his bowels!
A great man once said ' A man who feels the need to defend himself is a man not worthy of a defence'...that great man was etc.......
TH-cam gold, chaps.
Absolutely!! I'm glad you agree!
Now want to ride this route for the connivence of McD. Not cycled in this region before reminds me a bit of the New Forest.
It's a great ride. It is a bit like the New Forest. Cheers and thanks for watching 👍
Great ride lads cracking route and that breakfast 😊👍
Cheers. The breakfast was exceptional!!!
Nice ride and video. Muntjac - I had to look that one up. Invasive species to parts of the UK I guess?
Thanks. Yes, the Muntjac is an invasive species. Originally from China I believe. They're everywhere. You can hear them barking in most woodlands. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful quaint villages. I am loving the skid risk sign strategically placed near the public lavatories 🤣 Good watch again, boys, the sunset looked fabulous over the sea. Obviously, it was a well-deserved breakfast . At least you found out how robust your new best friend is Mat . Not as reliable as Ross! Poor chap having to do those extra Miles for you😊
I didn't notice the sign 🤣. I could have ridden back to collect the van but he's much younger than me and that's his own fault.
Great trip lads looking fwd to the next one 👍🏻👍🏻🚴🚴🍻🍻
Thanks. It was a great trip. Highly recommended. Thanks for following along!
Of course we want all the gold left in, it is hilarious! Thanks for sharing your overnight on the beach, terrific camp out! :) :)
Thanks 👍👍 We'll leave all in!!! I'm in Canmore as I type, happy Canada Day 🇨🇦🇨🇦
@@matryderadventures Awesome! Happy Canada Day to you as well, hope your enjoying Canada on this fine day! :) :)
I love it here!!!!
@@matryderadventures So nice to hear, it is a beautiful country for sure. I lived in Calgary, Alberta for a spell but was born and have spent most of my years in Nova Scotia. :) I have to admit, living close to the ocean is a wonderful thing and missed it dearly when in Calgary. :)
Great video Mat, and Ross, looks like a nice route.
Last video before The Big Ride 🚴♂️👍
Cheers Tony. It was a good trip. I'm sat here shaking with anxiety as I type. I fly tomorrow morning!! Wish me luck...
I cannot say with certainty, but I believe that anguished sound you heard was the cry of a farmer lamenting his decision to vote Brexit, you hear them all over the countryside these days. Safe travels and good wishes for your journey.
Ahh! I did see a farmer nearby....now I know 🤣. Thanks for all your support (a true regular commenter). It's much appreciated.
That beach camp spot looks fantastic. Did anyone pass you at night?
I've settled on the pedders way for 2024. Such a nice relaxing ride.
I always take a homemade curry with men for the 1st night.
It was a great spot. We didn't see it hear from anyone. It's a great ride. Very interesting and a good length. A curry is a good idea for the cold nights. Cheers 👍
@@matryderadventures can I ask where you slept...
Once you reach the beach at Hunstanton you turn right and push through the sand for a bit, maybe about 200 yards or so. You'll see the raised grassy dunes. We camped there. They're easy to find.
6:46 - yes, song stones as way markers, there are 4 of these along the path
I rode the pedders way thetford to holme and back a couple of years ago.
Wild camped at castle acre.
Fantasic ride expect for the sand getting into everything that turned.
Lovely route and a really nice forst bikepacking adventure.
Im thinking of riding peddes way in 2024 again. With a beach camp
Brings back fun memories. And that McDonald's was a welcome stop.
It is a nice route. We found a perfect camp spot at Hunstanton. I'd like to stay there again. That McDonald's is definitely placed well on the route. I hope you make it out there again. Cheers 👍
Weird bird sounds lol. I have a bird around here that sounds like a frog 😂
There are some crazy sounding birds. I've never heard one that sounds like a frog.
@@matryderadventures LoL
at 7:42 - the White Horse closed years ago and as for a village shop, the hasn't been a village shop there at least for ever
It's a shame these old pubs close down. Thanks.
I think the White Horse was at Great Cressingham. I used to go there in the 70s but the Windmill at Gt Cressingham was my favorite.
More gold please.
For you..... anything!!! Get yourself a bike and meet me out on the Great Divide. I'm at the airport as I type.
That noise was a cross squirrel. I have seen them doing it😊 honestly
A cross squirrel 🐿️🐿️. I absolutely believe you..you have taken a special interest in the work squirrels.
I have indeed. I ❤️ them
Really enjoyed your adventure, but one thing is puzzling me. How did you defy the laws of physics and manage to watch the sun setting over the sea from the east coast?
That is a very good question! I only thought about it having read your comment, but Holme-next-the-Sea is at the most westerly point of the North Norfolk Coast, and therefore there is sea out to the west as the coast tucks in before curving up and around towards Lincolnshire. We noticed in the evening that we could actually see the Lincolnshire coast (Skegness I think) from where we were camped on the beach. Thank you for watching.
Hi Matt, if not already asked 100 times, are you Vloging your Divide adventure....please say yes?
Yes! I'll be vlogging as I go, hopefully uploading every Thursday. It's amazing to know that people will be following along. Cheers 👍👍
at 4:25 - that was the A11 you crossed, the Peddars Way is nowhere near the A12
Yes I realised that in hindsight, I actually just got the names confused, I did know the A12 was nowhere near. Thanks for watching.
@@matryderadventures yeah, not a bad vid so far, I live about a mile from Little Cressingham and have 'done' the Peddars Way with my grandson - the White Horse wasn't a bad pub, but numbers dwindled hence it's demise
Thanks. I really enjoyed hiking in 2018. I may do it again at some point.
