Bikepacking Durham to York (Wild Camping + MTB)
Trail Mix
4,326 views
Join me and Andrew on an unforgettable overnight bikepacking adventure from Stanley in County Durham to York in North Yorkshire.
We travel on our mountain bikes via traffic-free trails, quiet country lanes, and over the North York Moors National Park, taking in the some the best of autumn bikepacking in England.
🍂 Autumn bikepacking is always a feast for the senses — golden leaves, crisp air, and that unmistakable sense of adventure. Along the way, we stop for coffee brewed on our camping stoves, enjoy some homemade biscuits at Wynyard Country Park(Thorpe Thewles), and soak up the stunning scenery through picturesque villages and wild landscapes.
🚴♂️ Route Highlights:
Haswell to Hart Path
Wynyard Country Park
Hurworth Burn Reservoir
Maltby
Hutton Rudby
Swainby (including the infamous Swainby Bank!)
Cleveland Way
North Yorkshire Moors National Park
Beninbrough Park
Newburgh Priory
Easingwold
York
The climb out of Swainby Bank tested our legs and lungs, but with a bit of determination (and help from Rocky), we made it over the Cleveland Way and into the remote beauty of the North York Moors.
🌧️ The night brought torrential rain, but that’s all part of the adventure — and we survived the night wild camping a little damp but with big smiles.
The following day we pass through some picturesque villages, see the Kilburn White Horse in the hills and then continue on quiet country roads to reach our destination in York.
If you love bikepacking, mountain biking, wild camping, or just exploring the British countryside, this video is for you.

“There is no future, there is no past. I live this moment as my last. There's only us. There's only this. Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other road. No other way. No day but today"
These aren't my quotes like! Just picking up on bits you both said 😀
I have just finished a Bikepacking trip around the complete coastline of Sardinia which I hope to be able to post a video of on my channel soon but I think I've got a long way to go before I can make things look as decent as yours.
Well done on a great video.
