About Los McJannet
I am a writer and cycle journalist who enjoys long rides, wild camping and seeking out the path less travelled. I have recently written a book, Bikepacking, on the growing trend of mountain biking and lightweight camping, and try to camp out on a ride wherever possible. However, I also enjoy walking and running in the hills, particularly around my home in Somerset, though if I am looking for something a little wilder I'll often head north to the Peak District, Lake District, Cheviots or Black Mountains, or the Highland bothies of Scotland

      This is a long, languid and surprisingly lumpy tour, given that Kent has such a reputation for being flat! It mixes quiet country roads, muddy bridle paths and some great technical forest riding. It's a perfect two-day ride too - with lots of accommodation or camping options around Wye, its halfway point

      This has to be one of my favourite coastal rides – it has a bit of everything. Starting from the campsite near Llangennith, their are three paths to choose from across Rhossili Down – one across each of the hill's faces and a testing one over the top. Mixing sand dunes, hilly downland, steep galleys

      This is a wild and testing ride over some of Exmoor's most remote moorland. Navigation can be difficult at times, with the trail almost invisible in places, so you'll need your wits about you as you ride north toward the coast. There's an enjoyable switchback descent to the dramatic coastline known as

      The vast majority of this loop onto the South Downs is off-road, with only very occasional stretches of tarmac along the way. Its essentially a sea-level start, climbing up onto the chalky South Downs to meet the waymarked South Downs Way at Tegleaze on Graffham Down, before dropping off the ridge some

      This is a short but glorious little loop, which starts from a National Trust car park, getting stuck straight in to climbs around Golden Cap and Thorncombe Beacon. You'll be treated to spectacular sea views for almost half the tour; the second part takes windy paths and back roads over North Chideock

      Beginning at a pub and camp site just north of Swanage, this ride takes in some of the best scenery the Purbecks has to offer. Without giving you a chance to warm up it heads straight up Ballard Down for Handfast Point, with wonderful views of Old Harry Rocks and the coast, before visiting the picturesque
