Join Neil & Blake as they explore the epic scenery of the Exmoor hills; travelling through quaint English villages, climbing up some seriously challenging climbs and being rewarded by some amazing singletrack downhill sections.

Love these bikepacking videos. Really inspirational. Got my 1st ever mountain bike on order, and hope to be out from next weekend doing some of the things you guys have taught me to do. Keep up the great work :)

[Alex-rjtu]

These videos with Neil and Blake are class👏🏽

Good old school gmbn, need more stuff like this to encourage us mtbers

"Tail wind, shall we crack on?" Asks Neil, to which Blake replied "No can we stay here and look at it, maybe it will come closer." Is now one of my favourite GMBN conversations. Made me laugh.
Staying in a hotel, smart move.
An enquiring mind would like to know, did Jack the cameraman forgive you for his cold feet? I hope he got a nice cup of tea and a biscuit for his efforts.
Great set ups on the bikes guys, all I have on my Trek Marlin 7 at the moment is a pack rack, bike pump mount and pump, drink bottle, headlight and tail light. I am slowly working out what packs I might need, this video is an eye opener. Great job fellas. Always fun with Neil and Blake.

Great weekend ride to make the most of the early spring weather. Curious to see a 'how it's made' video from the camera crew's perspective one day. Loved the switchbacks at the end!

20:17 I rode 10 miles around that velodrome and climbed up the last decent on my Aeroad when bikepacking... Minehead and the surrounding area makes for a great cycling destination, thanks for showing it off

I like seeing a cream tea done proper, cream then jam. Nice one.

[Karen-fjlv]

It's great seeing you ride less manicured trails for a change. Most of of us - well, me anyway - can't afford expensive bike parks regularly; we ride trails we have to also help maintain. It is great watching you ride 'real' terrain, for a change. THANKS!

The cinematography just gets better and better... love these videos :D

[grumpy-dad]

This is the rout I want to ride next year. Coast to coast. Wild camping

[jimmyx]

Love Fidlock products, I've been waiting for the 800mL bottle to become available in the US and finally ordered one yesterday! Feels funny to be so stoked on a water bottle but MTB will do that lol

[ocbyn]

Blessed with the weather. Makes it so much better. 👍👍

[Rubblechops]

Used to work in Dulverton. Drank in that hotel's tap bar and played for their pool team. Happy memories of biking on the moor too. So much good biking up there.

[TheAndyMaan]

Awesome video, it's these ones that inspire me the most, dont get me wrong I appreciate all the hard work you guys do to put out so many videos but I do love these epic rides in the countryside.

Also congratulations on doing the cream and jam combo the correct way round 😜

All the best guys

[tomas]

These adventure videos are the best, good job.

[adelangers]

Good to see you did the Cream tea correctly!!! Great video. 👍

[adrianwilkinson]

We did this using hostels on 125 mile route over 5 days in the Lake District in the 90’s. I rode a Raleigh Massiff down the Old Man of Coniston with rim brakes!! 😂😂 ah to be young again but I’m still biking!!! 👍❤️🌎

[funiguy]

More of these weekenders boys...great setup tips and route recommendations!!

[jayc]

Nice 2 days out boys it was good to watch

Francis Cade is the one who tuned me into the Fidlock system. Got a bottle for my hardtail and haven't lost it yet even after crashing. Thinking now of the small storage case Blake was using to carry food or use as a tube/flat kit.
