Edward Hunton


Ed Hunton grew up in the wilds of North Devon on the edge of Dartmoor and cycling was his main mode of transport. He would set off with Super-c panniers loaded and an OS Landranger stuffed in his rain mac. The unparalleled feeling of freedom his first bike afforded him on his adventures through the web of B-roads and green chutes of the South-West gave him a lifelong passion for cycling. Inspired by a local bike shop owner, John Spur, tours in Italy, Spain, Benelux, France and Cuba followed, with a mixture of campsites, wild camping and pensions being his preferred accommodation. A keen member of Audax, Ed has also completed the Trans Alba (an 800-mile circuit of Scotland), taken part in Bare Bones events and ridden countless sportives. For him, few experiences can match setting up camp in a remote part of the landscape, getting a brew on and contemplating the heavens from the comfort of his hammock.
