BoC ESCAPE REVIEWS

  • 2024 ESCAPE RIDER

    All I can say is from start to finish it was an excellent experience, well organised, superb hosts & great bunch of people who were on the escape, super photos/videos from Gwill and of course to Stuart and John outstanding guides.

  • 2024 ESCAPE RIDER

    This was my 2nd BoC Escape of the year and I'll continue to make sure I come back for at least one Escape each year. The organisation is first class, the rides are from another world, so challenging but so so rewarding and the support on offer is unmatched by any other tour provider.

  • 2024 ESCAPE RIDER

    If you want to push your legs to their limits and climb the most incredible mountains, then BoC Escapes are for you. It was a truly unforgettable experience and I'll be back for more in 2025 with some friends too as my club mates are desperate to join me.
