Would you take a gravel cargo bike on a 1,100km bikepacking journey from Scotland to Germany in the middle of winter? Markus Stitz from Bikepacking Scotland cycled from the Scottish capital to Newcastle, where he was joined by Mark Beaumont from Whitby to Hull on a new cycle touring route, inclement weather and all. See their route at Komoot.

This film by Bikepacking Scotland: ‘CargoBikepacking’  was supported by Route YC and Hase Bikes.
