North of Manchester · Pennines & Beyond
Raw riding footage from the heart of the action on the UK's rockiest bridleways.
Stunning visuals of the North West — from moorland to valley.
Proving you don't need a mountain bike to tackle the toughest terrain.
Mud, rocks, and 32mm tyres. No fluff, just the real UK gravel experience.
Chunky Gravel is run by a rider based north of Manchester, deep in the shadow of the Pennines. These aren't polished studio productions — they're honest dispatches from the moors, the bridleways, and the boggy tracks that make up some of the UK's most demanding off-road terrain.
The philosophy here is under-biking: taking a gravel bike with 32mm tyres onto terrain that would make most riders reach for a mountain bike. It's not about suffering for its own sake — it's about proving that the right mindset and a bit of commitment can get you further than the gear spec suggests.
Whether you're a seasoned gravel rider or just curious about what's possible on skinny tyres, there's a community here of like-minded riders who believe the best adventures happen when you're slightly under-equipped and fully committed. Come ride the Pennines with us.
