[Closed] How to find someone to do adventure biking with?

Clubs, groups, mates.
Being 16 there are a few issues that came out in things like climbing about duty of care etc. so it makes it slightly risky to be taking under 18's into the mountains in terms of insurance etc.
Next issue is I wouldn't want to head on anything majorly adventurous with anyone I didn't know well enough or trust. You shouldn't either, you need to all be able to get back if something goes wrong.
If you are near these guys try them http://www.bogtrotters.org/ but mail them to make sure they are happy for under 18's etc.
Anyway sarcasm time it's probably past your bed time.

Will you be carrying a hunting knife?

Have you looked into the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme?
Or ,a mate of mine in Brighton joined these lot...

have a look they may have links to someone near you.....

I'm a scout leader. Contact your local explorer group. You'll be involved with like minded kids and learn valuable skills to use in your cycling ambitions

The [url= http://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpBB3/index.php ]Bear Bones[/url] forum has a lot of people into bikepacking so you could start there. Stuart also organises events which you could get involved in.
Failing that, [url=www.explorersconnect.com]Explorers Connect[/url] could be a good place to post.
What about starting a group yourself at school/college/whatever?

Sure, if you get a group together, someone experienced from here would tag along to give you some tips.
Start small, grab a map and head out locally on your own and build up to the bigger trips. Smaller trips are great for sorting kit choice and making those mistakes that we all make in a local, safer environment.

Take advantage of your youth too - get yourself a young person's railcard and membership to the YHA. Adventure doesn't have to mean sleeping rough - it can be travelling light and fast and staying somewhere warm and safe.

There is a Bike&Bivi Facebook group I belong to as well.
Get chatting to folks like that.

Might be worth a post on here to see if you can tag on with someone else. http://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=8

There will be people out there the key is to meet them. Cycling clubs and going to events would be a good way to start. As an adult cycling with a minor creates a heap of (non) issues but you'll probably find people reluctant at first.

Explorers is a good bet as well. You should find people interested in similar stuff but whether they ride bikes...

I had some great trips with Scouts and Explorers (or Ventures as they used to be). Met some like minded people and set off on our own. Got as far as spending a couple of months canoeing in the far north west of Canada after our A-levels. These things are possible but you need to find some equally motivated people.

For smaller stuff you could always set out on your own. Start small, don't worry about the distance, just about getting out there overnight. Being self reliant and doing this sort of stuff on your own can be fun - gives it an edge too, when you nkow there is no one else to help you out.

Explorer Scout leader here, and my wife runs DofE for the Scouts.

I'd say get along to your local Explorer unit - you should find some like minded people, and even if they don't all fancy bike packing with you immediately, you'll learn some good outdoor skills by doing different stuff with them. (trust me - you don't know it all, I'm 41, and done loads of outdoor stuff, and I don't know it all)
You can do DofE on a bike, The Silver is a 3-day expedition, and Gold either 4 or 5 days.
Scouting is a good way to learn new stuff, and even pick up a few life skills like first aid.
