Highlights
Our relaxing weekend bikepacking adventure provides the opportunity to unwind and enjoy some of the Cotswolds finest routes, with bikes, guides and equipment provided and the chance to wild camp whilst enjoying some of the simple pleasures of cooking outside and the warmth of the camp fire.
Our riding style is focused on enjoyment and adventure as opposed to white knuckle down hill descents. Routes will take between 6-8 hours to complete with stops en route to enjoy coffee, cake and lunch! We run a number of 2 day packages catering for newcomers to experienced riders ensuring that you get the most out of your time with us.
You will need a moderate level of fitness to get the most out of the weekend, as there will be a few hills to climb!
This adventure is perfect for individuals and small groups, and can be tailored for:
- Corporates
- Hen / Stag parties
- School groups
- Families
