Featured Adventures 2025
TRANSYLVANIA TWIST,
ROMANIA
JUNE 11-16
Home of the ‘Red Bull Romaniacs’, Romania or specifically, the Transylvanian part, offers some of the best trail riding in Europe. With tracks to suit every rider’s ability, DRIFT’s TT comprises four days ‘braaaping’ it through the wilderness around Sibiu in the southern Carpathian Mountains. Based out of an old farmhouse HQ at the foot of the mountain range, you’ll ride a mix of terrain that comprises fast valley trails, mountain pastures and winding forest tracks, with options of riding elements of the ‘Romaniacs’ course for those with both the skill and the jacobs!
A PUSH THROUGH THE PICOS,
SPAIN
JUNE 22 - 28
With a strong sense of identity, and a skyline reminiscent of parts of the Dolomites, this 25km wide mountain range is packed with deep gorges, jagged peaks, green pastures and a concentration of wildlife that includes the European brown bear, wolves, chamois and griffon vultures., which we’ll hopefully see, but at a distance!!
DRIFT’s foray into the Picos de Europa is designed to sample the mountain regions highlights; combining a mix of varied day hikes that showcase the best of its landscape, with the culinary and cultural joys that preside within the valleys. Each day is a contrast, with complete flexibility to alter the programme if inclement weather dictates.
INDOCHINE MOTO,
VIETNAM, LAOS, CAMBODIA
OCTOBER 19 -30
THREE countries, world heritage sights, ancient Khamer ruins, old growth jungles, waterfalls and hill tribes; this is the essence of the “Indochine Moto", a bespoke ride created by DRIFT which explores the wonders of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. This 10-Day motorcycle adventure takes you on an epic ride through stunning landscapes, remote villages and to historic Khmer sites, most notably finishing in Angkor Wat of Tomb Raider fame. Starting in Hue (Vietnam), you’ll ride along the Ho Chi Minh Trail into Laos, passing through Sepon and into the lush Bolaven Plateau, famous for the Laven tribes people, coffee plantations and waterfalls. Crossing into Cambodia, you’ll experience the charm of Kratie along the Mekong River, the historical richness of Kampong Cham and the vibrant capital of Phnom Penh before we conclude our adventure at the awe-inspiring temples of Siem Reap, including Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom.
Custom Adventure
This is YOUR blank sheet of paper – so start filling it in.
If it involves two legs, two wheels or two skis, jungles, mountains or deserts, I’ll happily devise your own adventure, moto or charity challenge - but I draw the line at throwing myself out of a perfectly good aircraft!
DRIFT…..with a difference
Created to provide an antidote to a frazzled, permanently on-call world, DRIFT Adventure and it’s noisy little brother, DRIFT Moto, deliver my personal take on adventuring across this world of ours.
I research, plan and guide every DRIFT adventure; trips that might stretch you, hopefully inspire you, put a pep in your step and colour back in your cheeks.
I won’t ever claim to have re-invented the adventure wheel, I just do it in a way that instinctively feels right for me and is accessible to everyone, of all abilities.
My trips are based on detailed knowledge of the countries we travel through and excellent local contacts and, whilst some of the places we explore may appear familiar, you’ll experience them a little bit differently; sometimes via the back door and always with a nod to history, the culture, characters and culinary delights that define each region.
I’ve a view that the best things in life aren’t ‘things’…..they’re experiences and memories and the most certain way to create those, is to take that first step out the front door and start your adventure.
All best, Charlie
