HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.

How about  Getting out of the city & recharge your batteries with us

Our aim is to take you away from the city and into the country, with as little hassle as possible. All you have to do is pack a few things and be at Ealing common Tube at 6:30pm on Friday.

Please read this page before you dive in, it is important.

First of all we need to tell you that our trips are not just about the horse riding or activity, but it is the best way of seeing Wales and the Brecon Beacons national park, you also do not need to be experienced, everything is great for absolute beginners or the experienced.

We have our own luxury mini coach  and lovely relaxed country accommodation and the group size will be no more than 16. We party and socialise in the evenings. Nothing on our trips is pretentious or formal. The party after the activity is just as important, so we supply you with some very cool and cheezy music plus a very large spa to help to relax your ass. We also have a big sleep in on Sunday, to help you recover, followed by the best breakfast ever at around noon.

 There is a really good bean to cup coffee machine that you can help yourself to. This months coffee is Daterra sunrise (sweet citrus with dark chocolate overtones from the hills facing the sunrise, off the Kenyan mountains) how pretentious is that !. next month I will get some that's been passed through a pregnant Mongolian marmoset, during a full moon, with shitty overtones. I now also buy raw beans and roast them myself. you can look forward to that smell first thing in the morning, its great and so is the caffeine hit. Milo, hot chocolate and a selection of teas are also available.

 A few past guests have set up groups on face book, should you want a totally unbiased view. just search for Bushwakkers or check out our Guest emails

Below is just a rough idea what the meals will be like.

Saturday Breakfast:  Scrambled eggs, French toast, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, Tomatoes, toast. cereal,  juice.

Packed lunch:  After breakfast on Saturday I will put out some cold continental meats, various cheeses and salads so you can make yourself a roll or rap, We will also give you a Chocolate bar, fruit and a bottle of local water.

Sunday brunch  In my opinion the second best breakfast in the world is German, so I try and make the best one I can. This involves a selection of fresh crusty breads. Real ham, black forest ham (similar to Parma, but heavily smoked) salami, garlic sausage, various cold cuts & cheeses, pickles, yogurt, cereals, sweet pastries and salad.

Dinner: is 3 courses. Fresh home made soup and bread roll is offered after your activity. If you have any dietary requirements please let me know, its not a problem. If you are a vegetarian the local sheep will be happy to share their grass with you  ; )  Gluten free is also not a problem.  I  will also make a birthday cake should you need one at no extra cost, Bomb Alaska is the favourite. (A 60s/70s Classic) Dinner is spread over a 3-4 hour period, don't worry it will make sense at the time. I will do Barbie's or Braais on fine weather days. with Satay, homemade Boerewors, corn bread, potato bake, sweet corn, Chinese chicken, chops and various salads, fresh bread and more.
