What to pack? Where should I sleep? How do I go to the loo? Will I be safe? How do I get the perfect crema on the top of my morning camp coffee? All of these, plus more are the kind of questions that first time bikepackers might face. Luckily Bikepacking Buds are here to help. We invited co-founder Saoirse Pottie on the Gravel Union Talks podcast this month and got all her top tips on starting out in bikepacking. 

Head over to the Bikepacking Buds website for more details about what they do. If you'd like to follow Saoirse's own backpacking journey, then check our her Insta here
