Get stuck into an active weekend with a like-minded group, enjoying sea swimming, surfing, SUPing (Stand up Paddle-boarding), coastal cycling, clifftop walks and coasteering. Spend your days outdoors and your evenings around the fire pit, with home cooked food, a beer in hand, and a great group around you!
Rediscover nature away from the crowds and along the Cornish coast. Full, active days without the rush. Don’t feel obliged to do all of these activities, if you fancy an afternoon off to stroll along the beach or read your book in the sun – that fits in well with our Cornwall itinerary too.
If you would like to cycle more miles each day we would be happy to show you some faster ‘racing snake’ routes! Our guides can add more mileage and steeper inclines for those wishing to stretch their legs on this adventure week away!
Easy train journeys from London, Bristol or the Midlands take you to the start of your trip. Immerse yourself in wonderful Cornish countryside, with a wide range of activities, relax in the evenings with our free beer and wine fridge and in some of the best pubs known to man! We’ll start your holiday straight from the train station so just bring yourself, some active wear and a sense of adventure and we’ll cover everything else.
Led by our outstanding guides, and using all our equipment, we know every bend in the road, river or track, every cafe stop, local pub and vineyard to suit all tastes! You’ll not need to worry about any of your luggage transfers, bookings or equipment as it will all have been taken care of for you.
Wave goodbye to London (or wherever you’re catching the train from) on a Thursday as you catch the 1pm train from London Paddington down into Cornwall. You’ll meet your guides and group at Bodmin Parkway station and get to know them on a relaxed cycle right direct from the station! We’ll take care of all your luggage, and get you set up on our bikes so that we can cycle into the countryside straight away. The ride takes us directly to our accommodation on the Fowey Estuary, just down the road from the wonderful South Cornish town, famous for its sea-food cuisine. We eat out in the best pub in town, getting to know our group over some delicious fresh sea-food tapas. On this trip we stay in glorious ‘glamping’ cabins and tents on the coast.
Start your Friday with a splash in the sea as we take our sea kayaks and or SUP (depending on tides) out to discover the South Coast’s cliffs, bays and estuaries. Paddle to your heart’s content all morning before heading back to land for lunch. We hike along the South West Coast Path and have the afternoon on the beach with plenty of opportunities to relax and an early evening swim and a pint in the local. Dinner is with our hosts and is a BBQ / Paella with the evening spent sharing stories around the fire pit, for a proper ‘Fire pit Friday’! Grab yourself a free beer, put your feet up and relax with your group as the sun fades and the stars come out.
We bike to the North Cornish coast, via the world famous Camel Trail and then onto Padstow for a quick lunch before and afternoon coasteering and surfing. Under the guidance of our instructors, we traverse the coast, climb the cliffs, jump into the sea, and swim into coves for an energy packed afternoon and also surf to our heart’s content. We transfer back to the pub and eat in one of Cornwall’s finest!
After breakfast we have a quick swim in the sea then jump on our bikes to cycle back up to the railway station. Our relaxed ride takes us all the way to Bodmin Parkway station where your luggage will be waiting for you, ready for the 1pm train which will get you back into London and elsewhere in time for tea!
