softpacking

As opposed to the bikepacker, the softpacker makes as much use as possible of wild swimming opportunities, four poster beds, baths, restaurants (bonus points for Michelin stars) fine ales, finer wines and speciality coffee outlets, with commensurately less kit carried and commensurately fewer hours ridden.
