INDEPENDENT HOLIDAYS
General Information |
|
Our self-guided holidays in the UK and France are custom-made for independent cyclists.
We have a choice of destinations with a range of daily mileages to suit all abilities.
You choose exactly when you want
to go, the length of holiday, the number of rest days and, of course, your travelling companions.
The trips are ideal for couples, families or groups of friends.
|
We tailor the holiday to suit your requirements and make all the arrangements for you. We book and pay for all your
accommodation and provide you with a carefully researched route that mostly uses quiet, scenic roads to take you through interesting towns and villages. You are supplied with highly detailed daily route instructions so you don’t even
need to carry maps.
Accommodation is in B&Bs, small hotels or guest houses which are carefully chosen by us to suit your holiday requirements.
