Itinerary

Day 1

Morning | We’ll meet at Margate station at midday where you will be introduced to your fellow adventurers before heading off along a traffic-free coastal path then into the countryside through several quaint villages and stunning countryside.

Afternoon |  Lunch in a village pub whose exciting unconventional charcuterie menu is inspired by the wilds of Kent with seasonal locally foraged food. Then we’ll ride along the riverside and through beautiful woodland to Canterbury where Colin will bring the medieval city to life.
 

Evening | A short ride from Canterbury through part of the stunning Pilgrims Way will take us to our wild camping location, a twelve-acre ancient Kent woodland. Either choose to stay in a yurt or tent which will be set up ready for a tranquil nights sleep amongst the trees. Before we slumber, there will be time to relax and unwind while Colin cooks a hearyy vegetable stew. As the sun sets we’ll gather around the campfire, feast and share tales. 

MORNING | After a healthy breakfast, either relax, explore the forest or join our “mindfulness in the woods” session, inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku – Forest Bathing – using the peace and rhythms of the natural world.
