Drinking tea and eating madeleines in the church we cycled to and we're sleeping in while my son and wife play top trumps 😊

Made the most of #localbikeshop day and got some gear for our #bikepacking / #champing trip tomorrow!

Was pleased not only to support a #localbusiness in #alfjonescycles but also to be assisted in my purchases by local Junior rider Layla Bradbrook!

A local business supporting local young riders?! Love it!

SO EXCITED!
Just booked our first ever night #Champing!
Starting from the #ShrewsburySportsVillage, we'll do a couple of laps to get warmed up and make sure our bikes are good to go..

Then we'll hop on the #NCN81 cycle to #Wroxeter, passing by beautiful Upton Magna where we'll stay the St-Andrew #church (but not before looking around the Roman City!

CAN'T WAIT!

“When you lie down, you will not be afraid, when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.” (Proverbs 3:24)
Champing - camping in churches - is something one can do (although I'd actually be terrified, probably). The Churches Conservation Trust organise it: https://champing.co.uk/
Linking a few #Champing stays could make for a good #biketooter #microadventure?

Well I never... there exists a '#champing' movement of churches offered as a place to camp the night:

"Church camping movement seeks to spread the word far and wide"

Been slowly converting the ute into a camper. Roof tent, tub rack, tub drawers. Amusing as the only camping will be during day trips to the beach and on the front lawn 😅

Three adventures on my bucket list for next year: #champing (staying in an old church with www.champing.co.uk), trekking with #FellPonies (www.fellpony.co.uk) in the #LakeDistrict, and walking at least some stages of either the #PennineWay or the #CornishCelticWay.

Hi! I am a new follower and I was impressed with the pictures of the Tenerife Cathedral. I am guessing that in Spain they deconsecrate some churches or due to lack of funds they might end in ruins. A thing I saw in UK is that some churches can be booked for the night like an organised camping by a not for profit. Do you know of anything similar? I know Parador do some Abby but not churches . #ONG. https://champing.co.uk/ #champing #iglesia #camping

@sandrantunez hola! Soy un nuevo seguidor me quedé impresionado con las fotos de la catedral de Tenerife. Supongo que en España se desconsagran algunas iglesias o por falta de dinero pueden acabar en ruinas. Una cosa que vi en Reino Unido es que se reservan para pasar la noche tipo camping organizado x #ONG. https://champing.co.uk/ #champing #iglesia #campamento #iglamento ? #campiglesia ? Sabes si se hace algo similar? Porque los paradores nacionales conozco antiguas abadías pero no iglesias.
