Sutton Hoo — это курганный некрополь в графстве Саффолк. Здесь в конце 1930-х годов были обнаружены самые значимые археологические находки, не имеющие аналогов на Британских островах. Среди находок был погребальный корабль, датируемый рубежом VI и VII веков. Считается, что эта могила восточно-английскому королю Редвальду. В VII веке Редвальд стал королем Восточной Англии, которая на тот момент была государством, известным по всей Европе. Насладившись атмосферой тайны, мы отправимся к морю — в очаровательный Aldeburgh, жемчужину Саффолкского побережья. Этот город — синоним свежайшей рыбы и независимого духа. Нас ждёт сытный обед в одном из его знаменитых ресторанов, например, в Seafood & Grill, где подают улов, принесённый рыбаками всего несколько часов назад. После трапезы самое время исследовать этот самобытный городок. Можно прогуляться по галечному пляжу мимо цветных рыбацких лодок, вытащенных на берег, и вдохнуть солёный воздух. Обязательно стоит пройтись до конца викторианского пирса — его павильон-лаборатория стал символом стойкости местных жителей. Для ценителей изысканного — короткий визит на винокурню Fishers Gin, где дистиллируют джин с характерным морским характером. А кульминацией станет момент, когда багровое зимнее солнце начнёт опускаться за линию горизонта, окрашивая небо и воду в драматические оттенки янтаря и стали. Это идеальный момент для прощания с морем. \*\*\* 📝План поездки: 📍08:45 Встреча у отеля Ibis London City Hotel, 5 Commercial St, E1 6BF (рядом со станцией Aldgate East Station) 📍11:00 — 13:30 Драккар Викингов в Sutton Hoo (от £8.50) 📍14:00 — 15:00 Приморский город Aldeburgh, время на обед в рыбном ресторане (например, в Seafood & Grill Restaurant) 📍15:00 — 16:30 Свободное время: набережная с рыбацкими лодками, пляж, пирс, винокурня Fishers Gin, закат в 16:14 📍16:30 Отправление 📍19:00 London, Aldgate East 👣Продолжительность путешествия зависит от погодных условий и дорожных пробок. \*\*\* 🎁Включено в бронирование: ⚜️Аудиогид на русском ⚜️Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️Профессиональный водитель с наградой RoSPA Gold ⚜️Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) \*\*\* 🙅🏼‍♀️Не включено: ❌Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌Страховка в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌Evebus Club – привилегии для участников программы, в том числе переносы броней без потерь ❌Экскурсовод: £20 с человека при условии набора группы от 6-ти участников \*\*\* 🎒Что взять с собой: ✅Воду/еду по желанию ✅Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ✅Мелочь для чаевых и отличное настроение 🙂 ✳️Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.

**Backabush has some exciting plans for another expedition. This time we are heading for Kenya, to the trekkers summit of Africa's second highest mountain!** Point Lenana is our goal at **4985m** where we hope to arrive as the sun rises over the central plains of Kenya. When bagging high African summits most people head to Kilimanjaro but the journey up Mt Kenya has far fewer crowds and is arguably a much more interesting hike. As with many mountains, not all paths up are equal. We will take the Chogoria route, led by our expert local team. This route is the most scenic and varied in its landscape so we can experience the most beautiful sides of this magnificent mountain. We will spend 6 days and 5 nights camping on the mountain, descending on the opposite side along the Sirimon route, sleeping in tents along the way. We will be supported by our experienced team of guides, cooks and porters. Our local team will also provide us with all the camping equipment we need. **Difficulty** Our first days on the mountain will be shorter than average hiking days whilst our bodies adapt but **BE WARNED**; the summit day will be a massive challenge, hiking for 12 hours at high altitude with a 2.30am wake up call so we can reach the summit for sunrise. **Weather** On safari it will be - yes you guessed it - warm. January is one of the best times to climb Mt Kenya as it's in the dry season so clear skies are much more likely but **as we approach the summit it will be very cold**. Snow is not uncommon and at our high camps we may encounter temperatures as low as -10 at night. So its thermals, fleeces and down jackets at top. **Acclimatisation** This has to be considered carefully. Our plan is to gradually ascend, spending 6 days on the mountain so we have time to properly acclimatise and enjoy our hike. Many companies offer 5 day, and even 4 day itineraries but as we will be travelling from almost sea level in the UK this would put us at too high risk of experiencing altitude sickness. With an extra day we should be able to enjoy our trek much more. **[See the full itinerary here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nbvxZENE8JnjF_1OXhaVGwyLvHR2LAOP-JHUjKk79FY/edit?usp=sharing)** **SAFARI -** We couldn't possibly plan a trip to Kenya without taking some time to experience some of the best wildlife spotting opportunities in the world. After our tough mountain hike we have planned a 3 night safari staying in comfortable lodges so we can shower, rest and recover from our trek. First we will stay for 2 nights in the **Samburu National Reserve**, a vast expanse of remote pristine wilderness, bordering the Ewaso Ng'iro River. This area is home to elephants, lions, zebras, ostriches, giraffes, as well as leopards, cheetahs and more. We will then travel to the **Ol Pejeta Conservancy** for another game drive where will also stay the night in a safari lodge. This is a not-for-profit protected area home to **'the big 5'** which has incredible bio diversity and some hugely effective conservation projects. It is regarded as an example of how safari tourism can have a positive impact on the local communities as well as the wildlife populations. Check out their great work here: [https://www.olpejetaconservancy.org/](https://www.olpejetaconservancy.org/) In Ol Pejeta we will also visit the Jane Goodall Chimpanzee Sanctuary for chimps rescued from the bushmeat trade. While visiting Ol Pejeta we also have the opportunity to **experience a night time game drive**, a truly unique experience in the dark to spot the nocturnal wildlife with the park rangers. This is $75 USD extra. **Accommodation** * Mountain tents at basic campsites on Mt Kenya * 2 nights at Sopa Lodge Samburu, with a pool, outdoor dining and lounge room. Shared twin rooms. * 1 night at The Stables, Ol Pejeta. Shared rooms in a no-frills lodge with shared bathrooms. Chosen for it's excellent location amongst the wildlife in the Conservancy * Single supplement £75 **WHAT'S INCLUDED** * All transport to and from Nairobi * Mt Kenya National Park daily fees * Ol Pejeta Conservancy daily park fees * Samburu National Reserve daily park fees * Experienced local trekking guides * Porters and cooks for the hike * All meals from pick up to drop off. See itinerary for details. * Mountain tents, sleeping mats and other camping equipment * Campsite fees * 3 nights safari lodge accommodation in shared rooms * Safari guides and safari vehicles for game drives, see itinerary * 1 Backabush trip leader * Financial protection in line with package travel regulations **WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED** * Flights to Nairobi * Visas * Travel Insurance * Tips for guides, cooks and porters (tips for porters are expected as and we should budget a minimum of 60USD each for this) * Night time game drive $75 USD * **Single supplement** of £75 * Unexpected increases in park fees and taxes - we may be asked to cover increases as 2026 park fees are provisional. **TRAVEL TO NAIROBI** You will need to make you own travel arrangements to **arrive in Nairobi on** **Friday 16th January or before**. I recommend these direct British Airways flights but you can find cheaper flights at very similar times with a stop over starting at around £450 return including baggage with Lufthansa. You will also need to make your own arrangements for accommodation on Friday 16 January. I can recommend a convenient hotel so we can stay together if people would like to. Outbound - Friday 16 January British Airways BA65 Departs - LHR London Heathrow 09:45 Arrives - NBO Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta 21:35 Return - Sunday 25 January British Airways BA64 Departs - NBO Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta 23:55 Arrives - LHR London Heathrow 06:15 +1 We will arrive back in Nairobi on Sunday afternoon so please book a flight departing no earlier than 20:00pm. **HOW TO BOOK** The trip cost is £1650. To confirm your place a £450 deposit is required. Payment can then be made as follows £400 by 01/06 £400 by 01/08 £400 by 01/10 Please send all payments through online banking, using **KENYA** as the payment reference. **Your RSVP is not enough to reserve a space.** The account details are: Account Name: BACKABUSH XPLORERS Sort Code: 090127 Account Number: 22440622 The following "terms and conditions" apply to all trip reservations: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ngc5A61k76qb6HGMeTK96AVaXn0565yPS9p42IPzIy8/](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ngc5A61k76qb6HGMeTK96AVaXn0565yPS9p42IPzIy8/edit?usp=sharing) Please email nathancapay@googlemail.com when you send payment so that we can confirm everything with you.

Simmons Shoreditch is a quirky cocktail bar bringing an off- kilter addition to the streets of the East. Just off Shoreditch High Street, this gem is notorious for a late-night party or 5.

Bringing a new meaning to 'Everything but the kitchen sink,' this bar even has that. Its DJ plays from a built-in Kitchen Disco. Spinning disks that span decades with a playlist that's sure to keep you on the dancefloor until the early hours. Blaring neons, skull disco balls and waltzer-style booths all add to the charm!

The smart-guided tour is mostly through scenic riverside parks with a quick downtown peek. All of that in 10 miles! 83% of the route is bikeway, and the rest is Google Maps designated "bicycle-friendly roads". This short ride passes through several beautiful riverside parks. Passing through downtown the route runs alongside Huntington Park baseball stadium, Nationwide Arena hockey stadium, near North Market (worth a stop if you enjoy markets with lots of tasty treats), within a few blocks of the state capitol, convention center, art museum, center of science and industry, several first-class hotels, and much more (see Points of Interest list below). Easily, anywhere along the way, the tour can be detoured to nearby points of interest. This smart-guided route comes with CycleNuts' 50% downhill guarantee. Sweating is optional. If your bike has gears, you might use them to climb in a few spots. All bikes are appropriate for this smart-guided tour (even a single-speed if you do not mind walking your bike up the spots mentioned). The route is shaded about 50% of the way. Sweating is optional - you set your pace, starting time, and touring agenda. Points of interest: COSI Scioto River North Market German Village The Scioto Mile Brewery District Huntington Park Nationwide Arena Columbus Union Station Arch Greater Columbus Convention Center **The Meetup plan = Show up, Rally with whoever else shows up, and Roll following the smart-guided instructions.** This is a smart guided tour route that can be ridden any day or time, solo or with others. It is only posted with a repeating set time and date with a tour leader to fit the Meetup format, and, more importantly, to encourage you to get out and ride when it is convenient for you. **If you are going to ride it and would like the company of others, then simply RSVP and post in the comments when it is that you are going to ride - date and time.** Take pictures/videos and share. Have fun! ***This is a repeating event on the calendar***\*, but the date and time do not necessarily need to be what is posted. **If you are interested in riding with a group, then simply RSVP and leave a message in the comment section** giving the date and time you would like others to join you. If you are interested in riding by yourself or with your private group of friends, then simply do it.\* ***The mission of this format is to create a catalog*** *of free group tour routes available for CycleNuts to ride as a group, or solo, in an area spanning several states. **The goal is to get people out cycling** either in groups or solo. **The vision is a cycling community with resources** available for bike tours, bike talk, and a format for lives experienced at the speed of bike.*
