This summer, Frederik & Els gave us a fantastic challenge: they wanted to slow travel by bicycle during 10 days with their baby and sleep inside. All right, challenge accepted! 🤩 slowby.travel/travel-stories…

Exciting update: we already received a first order from a family for a hiking trip 🥾 with inside stays! 🏡 (Some happy dance moves happening with our team right now!)
Excited about this launch, especially now that the days are getting shorter and the nights cooler! 😎 From now onwards, it's possible with @slowbytravel to plan a secret hiking trip 🥾 and choose to sleep indoors! 🏡

Just got back from a fantastic 🚲 trip through Northern England! It’s full of beautiful national parks, nice towns, steep hills (often >10%) with rewarding views and great #WelcomeToMyGarden hosts. 💯 @BrulardManon wrote a nice recap ⬇️ Here’s also a map of our trip 😊
Conclusion after cycling in Northern England: I'll never complain about hills in Brussels. Ever again 😅 What a fantastic trip this has been, cycling through the Yorkshire Wolds, Yorkshire Dales, The Lake District & The North Pennines. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 Small thread ⬇️
