For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

This was an amazing lake in Sweden, about 40km east of Askersund. There was a shelter here and a fire pit, and no one else around! Sweden and Finland were definitely the highlights on this trip.

It's a bit different there. I didn't actually stay in a wooden shelter in Estonia for example, but the app shows official wild camping locations. The places I stayed were designated sites that had a fire pit, long drop toilet but no wooden shelters, so I just used my tent. Still a great system though, and much better than what we have here in the UK :)
