My First Brompton Bikepacking Trip With My Dog (and It Didn’t Go To Plan)

What’s it really like bikepacking with a dog? 🐕🚴

In this video, I take Ralph on our very first overnight bikepacking trip in Suffolk - riding my Brompton G Line with the Burley Bark Ranger dog trailer, camping by the River Lark, and even attempting some wild swimming… which didn’t exactly go to plan.

This trip was all about testing gear, seeing how Ralph handled his first real bike tour, and preparing for our next big adventure: a 6-day bikepacking journey to the Netherlands.
