DARK SKY EXPERIENCES
Available as an Evening (3 hours) or Full Night Experience (6+ hours)
Northumberland is home to the UK's largest Gold Standard Dark Sky Space, the Kielder Dark Sky Park. Don your helmet, sip some coffee and get ready to experience the thrill of exploring this amazing place by sidecar! Roaring along country lanes and down forest tracks in a sidecar outfit at night is completely and utterly exhilarating.
The roar and thrill of the motorcycle ride is juxtaposed by the total silence and darkness when we pull over and flick off the engines. Time to kick back in the sidecar and look up at the millions of stars above. The Milky Way is a regular and the Northern Lights make the odd cameo on this completely unique experience.
EVENING EXPERIENCE
£145pp / 3 hours / Minimum 2 people
The Evening Experience lasts just over three hours. We'll meet at dusk for a sunset spin around some beautiful country lanes before heading out into the wilds of Northumberland National Park to witness the amazing display above. Shooting stars, the Milky Way and the Northern Lights are a possibility, a thrilling ride, fun guide and cup of amazing hot chocolate is a guarantee!
What's included?
A private guide, refreshments, equipment hire if needed.
NIGHT EXPERIENCE
£295pp / 6 hours / Minimum 2 people
For the Full Night Experience we will also meet at dusk for a sunset spin in the sidecars. Then we'll head to a local pub for some proper Northumberland scran before heading to Kielder Water for some lakeside stargazing. Next we'll take on the Kielder Forest Drive for a night time spin along the UK's longest unpaved road and another chance at spotting shooting stars before we circle back to our meet point.
What's included?
A private guide, refreshments, equipment hire if needed and an evening meal.

WHAT TO EXPECT
-
All experiences are based on two people sharing one sidecar. One person rides the motorcycle and one person is the co-pilot in the sidecar itself. If you're both licensed riders you can swap seats throughout the day and if you don't have a license, you can just hop in the sidecar and enjoy the ride.
-
All guides are trained in sidecar riding and are OGA qualified motorcycle guides. Our guide will lead the day from another motorcycle or motorcycle and sidecar in front of you.
-
All experiences are private guided so we go at your pace.
-
FUN! Our experiences are exhilarating and without a doubt the best way to adventure in the North East.
-
Safety first. We take safety really seriously and only travel at safe legal speeds. Sidecars are a thrill at 30mph! Plus we can provide helmets and other safety equipment if you don't have your own.
"So much fun! I completely didn't expect it to be so fun!"
