We can supply all the personal kit you may need, and a packed lunch if you’re out all day. All you need to bring is a bit of enthusiasm – and we’ll do the rest!

There are a number of options available according to your requirements – either self-managed or instructor led.

Self-managed activities
We appreciate that you may want to do things on your own so we can advise on where to walk or the best places for cycling and mountain biking. There are many footpaths starting from our back door, taking in lovely villages and local hostelries. We can supply maps and suggested routes to suit all ages, fitness and motivation levels!

If you’re already skilled up in other activities we can give advice on suitable sites and access locally. We can also arrange ‘drop-offs and pick-ups’ to make your day easier.

Instructor led activities
Martin can organise either half or full day activities to suit your requirements.

He can accommodate the absolute novice who just fancies ‘having a go’ to those who want a bit more of a challenge. Either way – it’ll be a memorable experience.

You may want to try a couple of different activities in the day or mix and match with self-managed options. The choice is yours.

If you want to take advantage of our instructor led activity service, then we will need prior notification to ensure availability. Please call Martin to discuss your needs so that he can tailor your trip.
