Wales Tour/Wizz - July 2025
2025-07-07 - 2025-07-10 | West Sussex
This is a tour/wizz that has become such a group favourite that we currently do it twice a year! Broadly speaking, for 2025 we will repeat the previous successful format, travelling to Wales on a Monday and returning on a Thursday, with two full days exploring some of the very best roads in the UK. We deliberately choose to avoid school holidays and weekends, so we don’t have to share with too many caravans or other traffic. Overall we’re talking of around 1200 miles planned and organised into manageable stages.
For 2025 we are proposing for July 7th – 10th and September 8th – 11th.
This event is open to all our group members, and we do encourage Tour/Wizz newbies. But please be aware that the overall mileage, duration, road conditions and weather combine to make this a challenging trip… ie: tiring but fun.. and very rewarding! Please read the notes below and check with your instructor if you are in doubt as to the suitability of the trip.
I will once again be aided and abetted by my two Welsh Politburo co-conspirators Roger Manning and Hugh Curran.
NOTE: We will be based in Mid West Wales, with the venue and price currently a work in progress. Further updates once we have finalised details.
The price has yet to be confirmed but we are working on £195 sharing and £275 single rooms for the three nights half board (ie: bed, breakfast and evening meal). Please note that single rooms will likely be in short supply. We shall be limiting Tour/Wizz numbers to a manageable maximum of 30 riders, and if previous trips are anything to go by, demand will greatly outstrip supply, and spaces may have to be allocated as fairly as we can. Pillions are very welcome.
*IMPORTANT*
Whilst our Tours / Wizzes are open to all; we do have some safety criteria that you must meet. So before you come forward and to avoid disappointment please read our Preparing for a Tour and ensure you are comfortable with the advice and that you do or will meet the criteria.
If in any doubt then discuss with your Instructor, Roger or myself.
If you would like to reserve a place (to be confirmed once final details are known), or have questions, please email me on timbenians@gmail.com.
In the first instance, please let me know the dates you want to book for, and your sharing/single room preference.
Thanks, Tim

Wales Tour/Wizz - September 2025
2025-09-08 - 2025-09-11 | West Sussex

The Wee Scottish Tour/Wizz 2025
2025-09-24 - 2025-09-28 | West Sussex
Our Scottish Wizz for 2025 will as usual avoid the school holiday dates to miss the crowds and enjoy the amazing quiet roads and beauty of the Highlands.
This is open to all the membership and will be a minimum of a seven (7) day trip; five (5) in the Highlands with a day either side to travel up and back home. Most however take two days up and two days back home.
Please note that, for the trips up and back the rider remains responsible for sourcing their own accommodation.
Overall, you can expect to be covering around 2500-2700 miles including travel from the Sussex/Surrey area, planned and organised into manageable stages in true SMART tradition.
Whilst we do ride on parts of the NC500 route, we also discover the quieter and most spectacular roads around the Highlands as well as taking a trip to the Isle of Skye.
This trip is all about the riding and the amazing roads and scenery. The roads are grippy and retain most of that grip even should the worst happen and we suffer some rain !
Stops will include the infamous John O’Groats, various stunning stops along the north and west coasts and at least one stop on the Isle of Skye.
Accommodation will be in Beauly, near Inverness at The Priory Hotel, on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis, so the only extras will be coffee and cake stops, and also lunch stops once you have arrived. Oh and of course a beer in the evening!
The prices are as follows:
£135 per person per night for single occupancy in a Double or Twin Room
£105 per person per night sharing a Double or Twin Room

Dates are expected to be September 24th – September 28th, 2025 with 12 rooms already pre-booked. So if you want to bring a partner as pillion, or of course on their own wheels, get in there whilst the double rooms are available. First come, first served.

France Tour 2026
2026-04-25 - 2026-05-03 | West Sussex
We are kicking off 2026 with a fine jaunt across France. The event will commence in the South of France in an area near to Valence. From here there will be daily rides of approx 250 miles taking in some stunning scenery and roads.
I am going to book the hotel for the group and will be asking for non refundable deposits from all that are going.
All of the costs, dates and times will be published for those wishing to join the tour. I will ask everyone to make their own way to France, we will probably meet at Folkstone or Calais or even half way down in France. The plan is to ride halfway there and find your own hotel / B+ B en-route for the Saturday evening, 25th April. Making your way to the main hotel by the Sunday evening, 26th as that’s when the tour officially starts.
On the return journey the same applies. We leave the hotel on the Friday morning and ride a distance towards Calais to get the Euro-tunnel. Staying over on the Friday night and getting to Calais during the Saturday to make your way home.
If you are interested for more information and book a place, then please email stevetovee@ymail.com.
