Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa Trek
9 - 10 May 2026
Snowdonia National Park in North Wales is famed for its rugged beauty and outdoor adventures. At 1,085m, Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) is the highest peak in England and Wales, steeped in myth and legend. By day it’s a popular trek, but by night it becomes a true challenge. Reaching the summit under moonlight and watching the sunrise as we descend is an unforgettable experience. With a cosy hotel base, good food, and great company, we finish by celebrating our achievement with a hearty breakfast.

London - Paris Bike Ride
10 -14 June 2026
Cycling from London to Paris is one of the great cycle experiences in Europe. Passing through picturesque Kent countryside, we cross the Channel and continue through the small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France. With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill-climbs, the sight of the Eiffel Tower, our finishing point, will evoke a real sense of achievement. Our last day in Paris allows us to explore the sights and soak up the romantic atmosphere of this majestic city!

Provence - Ventoux Bike Ride
14-19 September 2026
This unforgettable ride through Provence takes in vineyards, gorges, and lavender fields, with rolling hills and scenic cycling along the way. At its heart lies Mont Ventoux (1912m), the legendary ‘Giant of Provence’ and one of the most iconic climbs in Tour de France history. Its barren slopes, strong winds, and summer heat make the ascent relentless, yet the landscapes and variety beyond are equally rewarding. Finishing in Aix-en-Provence leaves riders with a true sense of achievement.

Portugal: Trip to the End of the World
14-20 November 2026
This rewarding trek in south-west Portugal leads us to Cape St Vincent, the dramatic southwestern tip of mainland Europe. We follow the Vicentina coastline with its remote beaches, colourful cliffs, and pounding Atlantic surf—far from the tourist resorts of the south. Inland, we pass farms and fishing villages that bring cultural variety. With daily climbs over rugged headlands and descents into hidden bays, this windswept wilderness offers a challenging yet unforgettable adventure.
