Packed panniers and peace

I'm Crispy, from Essex and in my 50s, and this is my log of solo multi-day rides: where I went, how far, how hilly and what it looked like, with routes and stats from Strava and photos from the road.

So far there are two trips. The Rebellion Way in July 2026 was five days and four nights of camping on a 240-mile loop of Norfolk, through heathland and forest, along the coast and the Broads and back to Norwich. In September 2026 I rode six days and about 270 miles through the Netherlands on the Fietsknoop node network, from the Hook of Holland ferry across the dunes, bulb fields, polders and the Green Heart.

My bike is a Cannondale Topstone 2 gravel bike, and every ride is recorded on a Garmin Edge 530 and Strava.
