VALR Luggage and a Peak District trip

I’ve always been a bit of a luggage geek. I don’t know why, but I really enjoy shopping for bags, backpacks and suitcases. I think it could be to do with the fact the possibilities that new luggage brings – a new suitcase could mean a quick week away with the girls or a two week relaxing holiday to the Caribbean, and a new bag could represent a new job or a weekend at a spa.

So when a producer came to a VC London event and asked me if I would like to get involved in a promo video for new motorbike luggage company VALR, I jumped at the chance.

VALR provide a complete packing system for motorbikes

VALR motorcycle packing systems provide a wide range of travel options for people who want to travel by bike. Want to do a round-the-world trip? VALR have you covered. Doing a short camping trip to the Alps? Give VALR a call. Their classic black bags can fit in panniers or be strapped on top of them. And if, like me, you don’t have an adventure bike, you can buy one of their roll bags to hold all your essentials.

Roll bags are great if you don’t have an adventure bike

Initially, the trip was going to be a one day jaunt in Oxfordshire, but soon the idea developed into a long weekend in the beautiful Peak District. The Peak District is a mecca for bikers with well-known roads like the snake pass and the cat and fiddle. I knew I wanted to travel to this part of the country but didn’t think that it would be anytime soon. I’m glad I was able to ride some of the beautiful roads in the UK to film the promo advert for this bag.
