"Eveyone, stop! I need to take a selfie!" 📸
My first tour of the season started with a bang - 20 American guests came over to the cotswolds this week, and we've had a blast!

My biggest concern ahead of the trip, will they all get along?
As a guide, I feel much more at peace when the guests are chatting amongst themselves. It takes the pressure off me, facilitating conversation, and starts to feel more like a group of pals out on an adventure. And lo and behold, we all got along swimmingly 😃

Another worry was the age of some of the guests... one being 82! YES 82!!! 😲
But we took our time and made it up each and every one one of those country hills. What an awesome thing to be doing in your 80s... I hope I've still got the beans for it when my time comes!

I was nervous before this one. With so many people to manage, anything could go wrong. And I hadn't guided such a big group in a while, so all the usual fears around safety came flooding back. But that's the wonderful thing about having a co guide. You provide support for one another and devise plans behind the scenes to make sure the guests are having best possible holiday. I was certainly channelling my best duck impression at times - calm on the surface, paddling like hell!

In the end, we cycled our final day around Bath and said our goodbyes. It's hard to believe so much can happen in 6 days, but that's the beauty of a cycling holiday. It supercharges your exposure to a country and its people. You experience so much more and finish with an increíble sense of belief in yourself. There really is no better way to explore, but I may have mentioned that already 🙈😉😃

Adventures on your doorstep! 🥾⛰️
I've lived in Bristol for a year and this was my first time up Pen y Fan?!
Snow capped peaks, steep rocky climbs, stunning snack stops. A quick dash over the border and before you know it, you're in a completely wild and epic landscape! 😃
We found an awesome place to camp in the foothills too and got to wake up to some relatively clear weather 🤯
24 hours later:
1000m climbed ✅️
Whiskey round the fire ✅️
Morning mountain views ✅️
Adventure 💯

We are very selective about where we stay and what we do on our tours....

Why camp? 🏕

Scotland has the right to roam, so we can camp where wherever we like and experience the rare beauty of the landscape.

So, depending on how you are feeling that day, you have the freedom to choose your route and when to stop.

It takes away the stress of committing to accommodation and feeling bound by a schedule. Instead, you can decide what is best on the day and that means you are never in a rush and can fully appreciate your surroundings.

With sparsly populated areas, there is very little light pollution. So you can sleep under a blanket of stars in total silence and wake up to some breathtaking sunrises.

On our coast to coast ride in the summer we will be experiencing the joy of cmaping in the wilderness. But we have partnered with some amazing local organizations to guarantee we have a few home comforts when we arrive, and still feel connected with nature!

Each location will have full bathroom facilities and showers, as well as kitchen use and an option to take refuge indoors if the weather is not on our side.

The south of Scotland is quickly becoming one of the top cycling destinations in the world, and it's not hard to see why. With short train links to Edinburgh and Glasgow, many people are starting to explore this beautiful region that is often overlooked.

Featuring idyllic beaches, vast forest parks, and endless country roads, the south of Scotland is the perfect destination for a cycling holiday. Plus, you have the right to roam, meaning you can camp wherever you like and fully immerse yourself in nature and experience the stark beauty of the country.

But it's not just about cycling. We carefully selected each destination for its strong connection to nature and dedication to maintaining Scotland's unique landscape. There are incredible organizations working hard to showcase the county in the most sustainable way possible, so we partnered up with some of our favourites to ensure you get to learn all about these amazing projects.

We will also be following some of the famous John Muir Way, a beautiful off-road route through the middle of the country created by the man himself, who is heralded as the father of environmentalism. And don't forget about some of our favourite local shops serving up tasty snacks along the way.

This coast to coast ride has it all. And what better way to experience it than with a group of like-minded adventurers!

I love it when a plan comes together! Dartmoor has always been my go-to for a quick adventure. I've known about its magical, misty powers for a while and have spent the last winter traipsing all over it's extensive network of bridleways and open roads. Desperately searching for the ultimate bikepacking route. One which avoids the steepest climbs but still takes it in all its epic moor-ey goodness. There's been some very cold nights in some strange camping locations. Plenty of wrong turns down roads which are no longer roads and now rivers. Along with some very freindly locals sheltering me from relentless, driving rain. But once your in those hills, it's as if a shield between you and whatever life you lead outside of it slowly drifts away... like a forcefield of nature and wildness which is so rare to find on our jolly little (highly polulated) island. That and there's practically no phone signal, so it literally does cut you off from the digital world... whether you like it or not! And to take a group on the route I designed across the landscape I love, has filled me with such joy this week! 🥹 I also learnt the importance and partnership! Looking for support and guidance in other cycling enthusiasts who share the same vision and what everyone to experiment the wonderful world of bike touring! So thanks @philsturgeon for finding the fellow adventurers to join our little clan of explorers! Here's to many more trips to come! 😁 • #bikepacking #biketour #dartmoor #explore #nature #camping #wildcamping #bikelife #guide

What is a Zero Carbon Adventure? 🚴‍♀️ "It’s all about the journey, not the destination. That being said, we do start and finish our rides in some stunning places! But our goal is to show you all the hidden gems in between. The tiny villages, local markets and beautiful countryside which most people miss. And of course the best way to see it all, is by bike!" • #biketravel #climatechange #sustainability #adventure #nature #cycling
