The Reservación Nacional de Sierra de Tejeda is a Spanish National Park in Andalucia about the size of an English county. It offers mile after mile of both easy and difficult trail riding. The Tejeda is used by a number of British organisations for trail riding including Trailblazers, Andalucian Trail Tours and Redtread.
For the 4th year in succession, I'm going to take a week down there in October and I invite like-minded people to join me.
It'll work like this:
- I have rented a big villa in Competa, Andalucia. The villa sleeps 16 but I am limiting the accomodation to just 11 riders[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- You'll need a lightweight trail bike[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- Bikes will be professionally transported in a closed lorry from a UK pick-up point to the villa in time for your arrival. At the end of the week they will be transported back to the same RV point. You will need to get your bike to and from the RV point at the designated times.[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- One bag of riding gear can be transported in the truck.[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- You fly to Malaga to arrive on the morning of Saturday 1 October. I've arranged a minibus transfer for transport to/from the villa (about 40 miles away)[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- At the villa you'll share a room with one other person. 10 people will share the three bathrooms (one room, mine(!!), has en-suite).[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- You'll get fed and watered 3 times a day - breakfast and dinner in the evening. A packed lunch will also be provided. Catering will be done by local staff that I have hired.[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- In the unlikely event that any of you wish to partake of alcohol, you buy your own[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- You ride wherever and whenever you want, but I'll be out on the trails each day.[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- On afternoon of Saturday 8th October you fly home from Malaga[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
The cost will be £665 per person. What's included;
- Bike and luggage transport (one large bag only please)[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- Airport transfers[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- Villa rental including linen and towels[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- All food and water[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
What's NOT included:
- Flights[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- Alcohol[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]
- Insurances[/*:m:1b2nm3iq]

I have booked the same villa.
I already have a number of confirmed riders and would be interested in hearing from anybody else who wishes to join this trip. PMs please.
