General Overview

This camp is a coach-led one. The camps are organised on a case-by-case basis and will be tailored for the individual or the group.

There can be a real mix of different training sessions for the athletes and for the time of the season. Our coach aims to give you more than just added fitness to take home but give you a fresh look at how you are training and how you can make efficiency gains along the way. If you have any questions, just ask!

S&C

We use outdoor locations and space for our S&C sessions on the camp.

The training session will be created based on what you want to cover. However, we would ensure you complete the sports you want to work on and provide coaching and guiding expertise.

As such, there is no specific training schedule—we will discuss it with you ahead of your arrival and create something specific to your needs.

The region boasts 320 days of sunshine a year. We recommend you pack for warm weather but bring some layers for descents and the mornings.

Both the BBC and Dark Sky Sky are good resources to check in the few days before you arrive.

Bikes Available

Bike hire is available at this location. Let us know, and we can organise this for you.

Accessories

If hiring a bike, we suggest you bring your helmet and pedals with you. Depending on your saddle type, it may be worth bringing your own saddle too.

You will also need some money for cafe stops when out and about
