We originally set up eleven years ago to act as a local guide, run Tours in Northern Ireland & Ireland as a whole with some events in the UK.
After ten years we enjoyed a 'year off.'
In 2008 we plan offering one Budget Scottish, one English and one Welsh Tour.
We are also offering our first introductory European Spanish Tour in the early Autumn based in the Spanish National Park: Pico's de Europa
Accommodation will vary from a Scottish budget weekend, to B & B, or Hotel Standard Tour. These tours suit small group; club and individuals who want the freedom to ride alone knowing that others will be in the general area. We can upgrade nearby accommodation on request.
TO MAKE OUR TOUR DATES SIMPLE WE WILL RUN A TOUR USUALLY ON THE LAST WEEKEND OF THE SUMMER MONTHS
Final prices will be advised as we negotiate 'final offers' for groups and groups from NI/ROI may be less than ten. Tour deposit; 20% of cost.
