Cycle through the Highlands, sail around the UK, run across Wales, photograph wildlife on Dartmoor … and more fabulous activities

Adventure leader Rosie Baxendine has quit her office job and become a full-time bikepacking guide (like backpacking, but on a bike). Many of her trips are women-only, such as the two-day explorations of Perthshire, Lothian or the Borders. Others have a theme, such as a north-east trip in search of puffins, a pedal-powered distillery tour or a west coast island adventure. All involve wild camping and are designed to introduce people to bikepacking, so no experience is needed, kit can be provided, and distances are a manageable 28 miles a day. Rosie also offers e-bikepacking tours, accessible trips on adaptive bikes and bespoke adventures.
