Rarebit Ramble: Brompton Bikepacking, Wales

Bikepacking on Bromptons? Oh yes.
We hire bikes from one of the Brompton Hire Docks in Birmingham, strap on bikepacking bags, and ride/train/push our way through the heart of Mid-Wales on a cross-country adventure to Carmarthen over three days. Connecting cities, people and places, by bike...
Expect rarebit cookouts, quad-bike rides, train shortcuts, kazoos, post-office paparazzi, Elan swims, and freewheeling fun.

Good for you!

Absolutely brilliant! Pannier’s films never disappoint. Nice format but would also like to see some longer films too, and hopefully a bit more often with restrictions easing 😁

[@panniercc]

Nice one, Ben. Great to hear. Yep - we'll be onto more soon! All a bit tricky at the moment, unfo :/ Stef

Lovely video. Love that you used Bromptons. Shows people that well made folding bicycles can be very versatile.

[@self-propelledfun]

Great video. On a Brompton? Ouch! Perhaps why there’s not so much riding going on in this film.

[@panniercc]

Ha. Pretty comfy actually, Tizzie. Bar the odd 15%+ climb(!) Their hire bikes are 3-speed and have a nice, upright riding/touring position. We rode over 150KM on them... Stef

Riding trails on a Brompton reminds me of the old saying " a rental car is as good as a 4x4"

[@panniercc]

Ha, yes. Nothing rides like a rental :) Stef

[@melloXavi]

Класс!)

I want to know where that Standard 8mm Kodachrome movie film came from..
... and just WHERE was it processed?

[@jordancastlehouse5838]

Awesome film! Having just done the trans Cambrian, I’m interested in how you found getting to Lluest Cwmbach Bothy? We had to hike through about a mile of bog to get to it!

[@panniercc]

🙌🏼 Oh yes, it's a hike along the faint, boggy sheep trails :) Stef

[@jordancastlehouse5838]

Glad to know we weren’t the only ones suffering 😆
