If you enjoyed Africa by Bike and are wondering what happened next...read on!
Having known for a long time that Wales was a beautiful country, and convinced that cycling and walking are the best ways to see the world, we decided to set up our own business. So a year after our arrival in Cape Town, we started Drover Holidays - a tour operator offering quality cycling and walking holidays and cycle hire. Our breaks vary in length from two nights to two weeks, and provide the ideal way to explore the beautiful Welsh countryside on our doorstep.
We offer self-guided cycling and walking tours which we hope will be considerably more comfortable than Africa by Bike was a times! Walking and cycling tours include:
Cycling tours additionally include:
This summer we will also be running a number of guided walking and cycling holidays. These are fully escorted, small group tours, which Luke will be leading. They include everything that you get on a self-guided tour (see above), with packed lunches thrown in too.
The holidays are all in Wales, but very varied. Some of the regions covered include mid Wales, the Welsh Borders, Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains and parts of Herefordshire. Some are well-known routes like Offa's Dyke Path, Wye Valley Walk, Usk Valley Walk, Lon Las Cymru and Taff Trail. Others are newly established trails, like the Beacons Way, or itineraries we have created ourselves. Please have a look at the main Drover Holidays site, if you want to find out more.
