Intro to Bikepacking in the Peak District

An excellent, well-paced introduction to bikepacking. The highlights for us were the stunning scenery and the local guides. Luke and Pete were knowledgeable, supportive, and able to adapt the route to the group's interests and abilities. We'd very happily book with them again.

You’re going to suffer. But you're going to like it.

Beatyfull views - the perfect trip to build confidence if you are interested in taking up bake packing. I learnt a lot and feel like I can now go out and organise my own trip

Beautiful route, I managed (just)but there is a lot of climbing involved. Overall good challenge. Luke was a great guide and host, highlight of the day was food in the camp he prepared.

This was genuinely one of the best weekends I've had in months if not years. The route was beautiful, the guides were patient and knowledgeable, the equipment was high-quality. The provisions at the overnight camp exceeded all expectations (one of the guides pulled out a chemex!!!). So impressed, can't wait to book onto my next trip with them.

The trio exceeded our expectations and has left the whole group itching to book a similar ride. The success was entirely down to the guides, who were incredibly welcoming and encouraging. Their set up, kit and approachability made the experience. All kit seemed very well serviced and the guys running the event were able to make micro adjustments throughout the ride. Before arriving, we were anxious about fitness, but the route was well planned with lots of food stops, and walking up steep hill sections was encouraged if needed. Would highly recommend

An awesome and simple trip! Never been to anywhere on my own before and decided to join a group of strangers to ride through the Peak District! Was not disappointed at all! The trip surpassed all expectations although it was very difficult to complete the trip without walking multiple times! I’m fit but not serious gravel incline for 30 minute on a thin tyred bike fit! If you can cycle competently and are confident going for hours at a time then you will love this trip, the people were really nice and the group leaders (2) were very supportive and very knowledgeable in both the area and bike packing! Would recommend to everyone! Got very tired but was totally worth it! 10/10

Fab weekend gravelbiking with a small group, great introduction to the sport and the lakes, well choreographed and led weekend, highly recommend.

Great weekend in the peaks with some good country lanes, exciting gravel trails and nice climbs! Stef and Dave were very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. A great intro to riding with a loaded bike and a welcome change from the road bike!

Yes

Amazing trip that I would highly recommend. Stef was a fantastic guide. The cycling was ambitious but achievable and geared towards the groups ability. A lovely group of people made for a great weekend of cycling, wild swimming, delicious food and camp fire chats.

Great trip - would do it again. Well organised and a great guide.

This was an amazing trip. There were so many highlights, but one has to be the opportunity for wild swimming during our cycling trek. Everything was very sustainable, from our metal cups to the trusty spork. Our guide, Stef, was brilliant. He is extremely knowledgeable about bikepacking, and just overall a genuinely nice guy. I highly recommend this trip for both keen cyclists and novices.

Brilliant weekend in the peak district, with great quality bikes and panniers all provided. Stefan and Duncan took time to make sure we were all properly set up on the bikes and our bags were packed strategically and effectively, which was great to learn as a first-timer to bikepacking. I loved that from the outset Stefan made it quite clear the trip was not a race: stop and enjoy the scenery, take photos, walk if you need to. There was always a guide at the front and another at the back so everyone was well looked after. The campsite had showers (wasn't expecting that!), tents were already set up for us and there was a cooler with a very impressive selection of alcoholic and soft drinks. Stefan cooked a delicious evening meal and breakfast was really good too. We cycled about 60km each day, very varied terrain and scenery. If I'd tried to do this route on my own I'd have probably have concluded it was too ambitious and ended up grumpy and disappointed but the camaraderie of the group and the pacing of breaks, meals and snacks etc meant we were able to just keep going - and really enjoy it! Big thanks to Stefan and Duncan for delivering such a well-executed adventure!

Great trip, fantastic surroundings, the fitter you are, the more you will enjoy and appreciate

Great weekend away to the gorgeous Peak District. Really relaxing pace, friendly guides, great equipment, lots of nice food. Definitely recommend it for anyone thinking of getting into Bike Packing. I'm hooked.

Everything was well organised. The host were welcoming and gave us interesting stories of the area. They did a mixture of off roading and road biking nothing to impossible, so great to get confident at. Amazing views all weekend. Highly recommended.

Great trip. amazing scenery. great laugh. enjoyable and the riding was as challenging as described. hosts were great and made the trip super enjoyable.

I would really recommend this bike packing adventure. Great routes, great views and all round fabulous time!
