Overview of Cycling and Sustainability Learning Holiday in Cardigan
The tour will be based at the gorgeous Fforest Camps on the Welsh coast - a place to enjoy the simplicity, pleasures and beauty of living under canvas in an outstanding natural environment. Accommodation is in shared nomad tents, sited on raised wooden decks and furnished with mattress pads, reindeer hides or Welsh woolen blankets and giant lounging sacks. Each tent has its own fully equipped camp kitchen and dining area.
You can expect a jam-packed 10 days - tour members will be visiting a permaculture farm and an eco centre, getting workshops in ethical fashion, bike maintenance, pedal-power generators, straw bale building, vegan cooking and ideas for how to set up your own project. Plus long cycles along the Welsh coast, coasteering, and inspiring speakers around a camp fire.
