The Weekend, Hour by Hour

From Friday's first drink to Sunday's last mile.

Two days to scratch the cycling itch and explore a part of England packed with history, views, and proper countryside.

Arrival
Friday 18:00–20:00 or Saturday before 09:00

Arrival

We can arrange transfers from Pewsey Station (£25pp), or you're welcome to cycle or drive direct. Drop your kit in your tent, unload your bike, and settle in with a cold drink by the lake. If you're arriving on Friday, we'll do a welcome briefing before dinner at 8pm. If you're arriving on Saturday, the briefing will be pre‑ride.

The Big Ride
Saturday · 09:00

The Big Ride

After coffee and a proper breakfast, we roll out for the White Horses Tour — 100km of Wiltshire's quietest roads, ridgeline views, and iconic chalk hill carvings. A steady, social pace: pedal, chat, enjoy.

Lunch: Pub or Café Stop
Saturday · 13:00

Lunch: Pub or Café Stop

A long lunch at a hand-picked country pub or café. Refuel, swap stories, get back on the bike for the run home along the Pewsey Vale.

Wild Swimming & Recovery
Saturday · 16:00

Wild Swimming & Recovery

Back at camp by mid‑afternoon. Tea and cake. Time for a wild swim, a zip‑wire plunge, a hammock nap, or a drink in the long grass. The whole place eases into a slower rhythm.

Long Table Dinner
Saturday · 19:30

Long Table Dinner

An atmospheric, home‑cooked dinner served outdoors. Most of the cooking happens over the BBQ or in the pizza oven. Bring a warm layer — the evening is spent around the fire.

The Recovery Loop
Sunday · 10:00

The Recovery Loop

A softer 50km loop across the Pewsey Vale once breakfast has settled. No pressure, no Strava hunting (unless requested of course!). Just a quiet, beautiful ride to ease the legs back in. Café lunch 15km from home.

Departure
Sunday · 13:00–14:00

Departure

Pack down, say your goodbyes, and hop on the shuttle to Pewsey for the train home. You'll be back by tea.
