South west coast to coast
dartmoor - exmoor, 4 days 3 nights

OVERVIEW

 After years of riding in the South West, we created an epic 4 day route to link together our favourite riding spots in Exmoor and Dartmoor, including a night in a 5 star castle! The coast to coast journey explores the wilder parts of the Moors, from trails in deeply wooded river valleys to climbing up a fine selection of the highest hills in the South of England, including Hamel Down (534m), Dunkery Beacon (519m) and Hound Tor (414m).

SKILL & FITNESS LEVEL​

This is an Advanced level tour for Level 3 Fitness, so you can expect riding days of 40km+ distance and 1000m+ of climbing. You should be an experienced mountain biker, comfortable on most types of terrain and will have the skills to ride moderate technical features, such as small rock gardens, small drops, roots and faster sections. Your guide is an expert and will be very happy to give you some bike skills training to help improve your confidence and your enjoyment of your ride. If there is a section that you would prefer not to ride, there's no shame in walking sections of difficult tracks.

'I don't think I have ever been treated to hospitality that was so well planned and thoughtfully put together. From the knowledge of the routes, the quality of the food and lodgings and the evening entertainment to the overwhelming effort that was put in by the whole team to make our weekend so enjoyable.'
