We complete the season with a tour of the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales.

We end our tour season with the traditional long weekend at our favourite 3 star hotel on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, not only is this hotel a great base for touring, but its ambience, food and accommodation has made it a firm favourite with customers and us alike.

The tour starts on a Thursday and ends on a Sunday to avoid the usual Friday afternoon and Monday morning traffic congestion. 

The 3 night tour will give you the opportunity to unpack, relax and allow us to show you the best scenery and biking roads that the Dales, Lakes and Northern Pennines can offer. If you have never toured this area before, you cannot fail to be impressed with not only the natural beauty, but some great traffic free biking roads. Having run tours in this area since 1996, we know every nook and cranny and are constantly changing our routes, so even if you have been with us before, we feel sure you will enjoy something new.

This tour is fully guided and will appeal to all riders but is an ideal opportunity for those who perhaps have not toured before to give it a try before tackling something a little longer or even joining us abroad.

This is a social event as much as anything so if you want to come in your car, or ride independently, you are more than welcome; your guide will be able to advise you on great routes and attractions.

  • 3 Nights en-suite accommodation at 3 star hotel
  • 3 Evening meals (vegetarian option available)

Friday 11th October:  Knowing the area so well, we can keep our destination flexible, with the Lakes, Dales and Northern Pennines all within easy riding distance we have plenty of choice. 

All our tours depart after breakfast, and are led by an experienced guide, so not only is no map-reading required. but you can be sure that you are seeing the best scenery, 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’ system which allows you to travel at your own pace.

All our Guided Tours are very relaxed, we do ride all day, but there will be a leisurely lunch break and stops for refreshments, photo opportunities or just to stretch your legs. We will return to the hotel around 1630 hrs. Although the tour is fully guided, you are of course, welcome to explore on your own - your guide will be able to advise you on things to see and do in the area.
