We headed off to Dartmoor National park for out last day in Devon. We went to find a suitable camping spot and then headed off to somewhere that’s been recommended to me a number of times; Union Road Moto Velo. This is a motorcycle hangout, motorbiker friendly hotel, workshop, coffee shop, clothes and gear retailer and there are also motorbikes for sale- all wrapped up in a brilliantly cool, edgy package. A custom Honda Cub, Harley Davidson Sportsters, Indian FTR and a heavily customised Triumph Bonneville, as well as gear for sale from the likes of Saint Jeans, Roeg helmets and Resurgence gear (to name a few). They have a good choice of sandwiches and cakes too, so it’s a brilliant stop off. It is hugely worth a visit!
After that, we rode back into Dartmoor Park and set up the Goose Wingman of The Road tent for some wild camping on the final night. I had the tent strapped to my Hepco and Becker rear rack with Ron straps, and it worked like a dream!
