We do not want bums on seats, just sore bums and
smiley faces.
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.
In any given park or attraction, 90% of the people never leave the road side- so no matter how crowded it seems to be- to get away from 90% of humanity all you have to do is walk off the pavement and into the woods.
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 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.
Our trips are designed so that you go back to work feeling refreshed, recharged and stuffed, Loads of fun, loads of food, adventure and plenty of sleep. There are never any hidden extras, with no sales tricks or kitties. The only thing that is not included is booze on Saturday night, we will take you to the local shop for that.
Bushwakkers was founded 14 years ago by myself, I was a chef for 20 years prior to that, working in 5 star hotels/restaurants and private yachts world wide, such as Hong kong, London, France, Switzerland and Germany, now I just cook for fun & cool people and without the stress. I endeavour to make everything fresh and home made including some of the bread. I grew up on a beach in Hong kong, so I am fairly chilled by nature and love to party. I also like to meet people, so I guess you could say this a lifestyle business and even after 14 years I still look forward to every weekend. Although my guest house is not posh, it is clean and cosy with all the modern conveniences needed for you to have an excellent relaxed weekend. You will also meet some like minded people who are travelling and probably working in London.
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. Seriously though. every month I will get in a different coffee, the kind you will not find in your average coffee shop, I also now roast the beans, you can look forward to that smell first thing in the morning, its great and so is the caffeine hit. hot chocolate and a selection of teas are also available. I am running out of Milo could someone please bring a tin up for me, cant get it in Wales.
Games available at the house. Badminton, Boulles or Botchy, Jenga, Uno, cards, backgammon and any drinking game you know. There is also an out of tune piano, a very good guitar, bongos and didge. (yet to hear anyone play it properly though)
Below is just a rough idea what the meals will be like.
Saturday Breakfast: Scrambled eggs, French toast, sausages, smoked bacon, fresh mushrooms, Tomatoes, toast. cereal, juice.
Packed lunch: After breakfast on Saturday I will put out some cold continental meats, various cheeses and salad, 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 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 ice cream Classic) or you can request your favourite cake. 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. It will also be cooked over apple wood or charcoal.
Horse riding weekends: (click for more info) This is probably the best trail ride available in Wales and the UK, with great rugged scenery, it is an interesting and exciting ride which takes you around the third highest peak in the UK on the Brecon beacons national park, through rivers and ancient Roman bridal ways with some cantering (optional and weather permitting). Price £195 with transport from London, 2 nights accommodation, all food and riding. If driving yourself £185.
Hill Walking weekends (click for more info) The Brecon Beacons are perfect for hill walking, as you can choose trails that are suitable to your ability. We take you to the hills and bring you back afterwards. This trip is unguided. OS map supplied. £155 with transport from London, 2 nights accom, all food.
Fishing weekends (click for more info) Nothing simpler here, we will drop you off on the river Usk, with a rod & tackle, a few tinnies and pick you up in the evening. Tuition can be given for course or fly fishing if you want it. £175 with transport from London, 2 nights accom, all food and fishing. Tuition can also be given for £15 extra.
Party or Corporate Groups If you wish to arrange a group for any reason, such as birthday, hen, anniversary etc, we can offer different activities, such as paintball, go carting, riding and can pick you up in a location of your choice. Please phone us for more on this. You can do no activity and just party for the duration if you like..
The Accommodation (Click for more info) The house is located on the edge of the village of Defynnog on the Brecon Beacons national park, Its homely, peaceful and has a large hot tub next to a river, with a pub close by. post code LD3 8SG should you want to Google map it.
What you get for your money Because we have a policy of not having big expensive advertising, (we only have one small add) it means we can spend more of your money on the trip, so can afford to have a luxury mini coach, have our own accommodation and buy very fresh local quality food. We are fully qualified for everything that we do and all legalities and licences are in place, so no wukking furries. Included in all our prices are return transport from London, 2 nights accommodation, all food, non alcoholic drinks and activity.
Who comes on our trips and why The majority who come on our trips are usually between 20-35, who have busy jobs and need to escape the city from time to time. Bushwakkers is international so we get people from all over the world. Most who come on our trips are on 2-4 year working visas from Australia, New Zealand, S Africa, Canada, Europe the US and of course from the UK. Sorry but this also a child free zone. You must be over 18. If you are over 38 and like what you read, then please come along, complaining about party noise after you have gone to bed, wont work.
What we are not
We are not a "singles club", but we do get many people who are travelling alone, we do not do outward bound courses, IE no team or raft building. People come here either alone, with a few mates as a couple or book the whole trip for a birthday, anniversary, Hen party etc. "TOURS ARE NOT US"Usual professions are teachers, Nursing & Medical, IT, legal, Construction, banking/finance, Nannies, Recruitment, Marketing and general business, but hey we do not care what you do really as long as its legal.
A warning for couples Our weekend trips are not ideal if you want to have a quiet romantic weekend alone, and boys, if your relationship is a little rocky and you are trying to patch it up, by surprising her with this trip, trust me, it will end here, the rest of us don't want to here it, may we suggest a weekend in Paris, Vienna or a country cottage with four poster bed. But if you are in love or just good friends i.e. shag buddies then please come along. Our double rooms are small but with very comfortable big beds and super king size quality duck down dooners. The double rooms are not ensuite, but the bathrooms are just outside your door.
