Me and a mate took a couple of bikes up to Formby on the train last October and cycled home on the trans Penine trail bivying on the way, great fun.
Never been to the UK; can't resist a cycling thread .
I've always wanted to travel the Rocky Mountains by horseback, maybe someday. Bicycles have just been a more practical way for me to get around. From basic transportation to the rides that have shaped my life,,, eh, I guess I've spent a few (too many) hours in the saddle.
Sorry for the poor quality pictures of pictures, a photojournalist I am not.
A couple of bikes form a couple of long rides....
Took the train from Santa Fe, NM up to the Montana/Canada border one spring and rode through the rockies back to Santa Fe. I was out for over three mounths, had a hard time re-entering civilization . I prefer the road less traveled and so my bicycles are of the fat tire variety.
A desert trip from southern New Mexico, across Arizona to Moab, Utah where I bailed out, met up with some friends and caught a (car)ride home.
Showing off above the Colorado river at journey's end and the rig (plus up to 6 liters h2o not shown) :
Best of luck to you tobes01, mountains, deserts, jungles, the streets of Paris, it's as "bushcrafty" as you make it.

I am amazed no one has come up with a Recliner trike, for offroad/traveling.
You should be able to take a bike anywhere something else has gone before you. A mountain bike should be able to go anywhere a horse, or 4X4 can with no problems.

Yes!
Like many, I'm a keen mountain-biker. Go everywhere on that little fella.
What do you mean by 'bushcraft trips'? I have been on over-nighters with it - cycle out to somewhere, enjoying the countryside as I go, find somewhere to pitch camp for the night, then a lovely ride home the next day. Done that kind of thing a few times. Nothing more extensive though. Weight is the main consideration, which is why single night trips tend to be easiest. I'm a lazy rider - just as likely to push the bike up a hill as ride it. I do it more for a ride along the country lanes than exercise.

If ever there was a bike for bushcraft camping this must be it ,

Been thinking about it but haven't had time for any bike trips in the UK this year unfortunately. However in 2007 my brother and I did a trip in Australia that probably counts. Bruv has some shots here:

Hennessey (sp?) hammock is surprisingly good for cycling; it really lets you minimise the weight without losing out on the total flexibility of stopping where you like.

I find it really easy to spot wild food when cycling. I am lucky where I am the canal network is really exstensive and a joy to cycle on. I even have the british waterways pass. I am planning an overnighter with the kids on bikes. My bike won't fit a panier so I'll have to use rucksaks.
Excellent trip. I did that ride in 1991 on a Scott Windriver the frame of which still hangs in the shed awaiting it's rebirth!
