Ready for a proper day out on the mountain bike?
Join us for a challenging, rewarding 40-mile group ride along the ancient, windswept trails of the Oxfordshire Ridgeway! This ride is designed for adult riders with a good level of fitness and experience in off-road endurance cycling.

Experience why this is known as Britain's oldest road, passing iconic landmarks like the Uffington White Horse and ancient hillforts. It's an unsupported endurance challenge, so come prepared with your own tools, plenty of food, and enough water for the long haul. We ride as a group, but the pace will be brisk—this is not a beginner's spin! Expect to be out for 5-6 hours, testing your stamina against the terrain. If you're looking for an epic, historical ride with big mileage and even bigger scenery, this is it. Price - Get in touch to book on! |

Escape to Croatia: Kayak, Hike & Camp the Wild Dalmatian Coast.
Forget the crowds and dive into a wild, long weekend adventure on Croatia's stunning Dalmatian Coast. Over three incredible nights, you’ll trade city stress for the crystal-clear waters of the Zrmanja River and the dramatic peaks of Paklenica National Park. Grab your paddle and navigate through spectacular limestone canyons, tackling Class II and III rapids and cooling off with swims under idyllic waterfalls like the roaring Jankovića Buk. Then, swap the kayak for hiking boots as you explore the tranquil trails, towering gorges, and ancient forests of Paklenica. This moderate adventure requires no prior kayaking experience, just an adventurous spirit and a love for the outdoors. Evenings are spent where they should be: camping beside the river, sharing hearty Croatian meals and stories around a crackling campfire with a small, sociable group of up to like-minded adventurers. We handle all the logistics: certified expert local guides, equipment, transfers from Zadar, and all your breakfasts and dinners are included. All you need to bring is your sense of adventure. Your epic Croatian weekend is waiting. (I am just putting the final touches to this) |
