This is a Guided Tour
Guided Tours are our speciality; led by our local guide you have no need of maps
or directions.
Relax and enjoy the views, safe in the knowledge that
you are seeing the best scenery, visiting the right places and riding some
superb biking roads.
Many people are apprehensive about riding in a group;
however we use a simple drop off system which allows people to ride at their
own pace.
All our tours are at an easy relaxed pace catering
for riders of all abilities.
There are frequent stops
for fuel, coffee or just to stretch your legs.
Mainly in the UK this is a great introduction to motorcycle
touring holidays.

A 5-night Special - from the Scottish Borders to the Yorkshire Dales
Our weekend tours have always proved popular - however, many of our customers
say they are not long enough! For this reason, using two of our favourite
hotels, we have put together a 6-day holiday, offering a comprehensive tour
of the beautiful countryside between the Borders of Scotland and the Yorkshire
Dales.
Tour Format
Day 1: Wednesday 13th August Today, you will make your own way to the
first of the two bases we will be using for this tour, a lovely 3 star hotel
sat in its own grounds, just south of Dumfries. You should arrive in
time for a get-to-know-you drink with your guide and fellow riders, before
enjoying a 4 course evening meal.
Day 2: Thursday 14th August The tour departs at 0930 hrs and is fully-guided,
with no map-reading required. Led by an experienced Guide, you can relax
and enjoy the views, knowing that you will be seeing the best scenery, visiting
the right places and enjoying some great biking roads. Many people are apprehensive
about riding in a group, but we use a simple ‘drop off’ marker
system, which allows you to travel at your own pace. All our Guided
Tours are very relaxed - we do ride all day, but take a leisurely lunch break
and make several stops for refreshments, photo opportunities or just to stretch
your legs. We will return to the hotel by 1700 hrs.
Day 3: Friday 15th August Leaving Galloway and Dumfries behind, we
take a “White Rose Route” through the beautiful Scottish Borders,
before arriving at our second base, a 3 star hotel situated between the Yorkshire
Dales and the Lake District.
Day 4: Saturday 16th August Once again, we take you on a full day’s
guided tour. Our destination will be decided on the day, but with the
Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland and Northern Pennines all
within easy distance, we are spoilt for choice.
Day 5: Sunday 17th August Today, will be similar
to yesterday’s
format, providing further opportunity to admire the beautiful scenery and
ride some great roads. During your stay, you are, of course, welcome to take
a day off, or explore on your own - your guide will be able to advise you
on things to see and do in the area.
Day 6: Monday 20th August After breakfast, we bid
our farewells and return home.
Accommodation
Your accommodation for this tour uses two of our favourite hotels. The first
is set in its own grounds overlooking the Solway Firth. This
3 star hotel has en-suite rooms with ‘phone, satellite TV and drinks-making
facilities. You will have full use of the hotel's leisure facilities,
which include a small indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and gymnasium.
There is even a pitch and putt course.
The second base is again a 3 star hotel, this time situated in a rural setting
between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. All rooms are en-suite
with ‘phone, TV and drinks-making facilities. The hotel has just completed
building works, giving it a new reception, meeting place and dining facilities. Both
hotels have great food, so with full regional breakfasts and evening meals
included, make sure you bring a good appetite.
