Europe’s active travel leader, Pure Adventures, that designs game plans for adventurous cycling vacations throughout Europe and the UK, announces new May-through-September, eight-day, self-guided cycling tours in Scotland and through England’s Lake District for just over $1,000 per person double.

The rate for Scotland Cycling - Lochs, National Parks, and Distilleries is $1,220 per person. This Scottish Highlands adventure begins and ends in Glasgow. The route encompasses lochs and glens, stopping for tastings at Dewars World of Whiskey, touring medieval sites including Blair Atholl Castle, a journey on a century-old steamship and a Victorian spa town. The lore of folk hero Rob Roy comes to life in this romantic countryside.

The rate for Lake District Cycling – England is $1,055 per person (exclusive of a seasonal supplement in July and August).  The tour focus is on Lake District National Park, a mountainous region in northwest England. The trip begins and ends in Carlisle, founded by the Romans, and goes on toward the seaside, passing through the park and then later on to 17th century towns and the ruins of Hadrian's Wall. The majority of the riding is on cycling paths, well marked and making up part of the national cycling network.

Self-guided tours mean guests aren't paying for daily guide services and they can select their own restaurants according to budgets. They also enjoy maximum flexibility, traveling at their own pace.

Self-guided tours – and surprises – are offered in 2013 in over a dozen countries including Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Scotland, Slovenia, Spain, and Switzerland.
