Our Portugal “Roman Trails of the East” mountain bike holiday over the Christmas period was thoroughly enjoyed and yet again proved a great excuse to avoid Boxing Day and New Year at the local pub!!

Skedaddle mountain bike guides gather from around the world in Castleton Derbyshire!

It’s that special time of the year when all the Skedaddle guides from hotter climes come to together in the cold english snow to partake in a weekend of cycling , drinking and of course discussing how we can make this year’s Skedaddle holidays even better!

Mechanical Guru Dave from TSW Cycles explained the finer points of how they keep our Giant XTC hire fleet running smoothly, along with plenty of helpful hints related to taking bikes apart.

Saturday’s bike ride and snowball fight!

Thankfully the log fires and real ales in the local pub “The Castle”, soon Calmed everyone down

A great weekend was had by all , thanks to everyone who came! Same time next year?

This superb desert biking adventure focuses on the deep south of Morocco, a land of big skies and stark mountain ranges where mud-brick kasbahs appear to rise up out of the desert, sitting in tranquil palm oases and framed by dramatic backdrops of snowcapped mountains. We ride along Morocco’s dirt roads, taking us from Marrakech to the Tichka Pass, the highest in the High Atlas, and then southward, descending along the Draa Valley to the fringes of the Sahara Desert.
