Alexandra Greenwood
Director UK

I have been hiking the fells of Cumbria since I was a was a very small child, with my first ascent being Old Man of Coniston at the age of 5! With the outdoors being part of my identity and travel coming a close second, I'm now in the prefect position to help your clients explore the beautiful landscapes of England, Scotland and Wales. 

I've worked for HF Holidays and KE Adventure Travel over a 20-year career and the brilliant team at S-Cape UK have years of experience of tour operating for international and domestic travellers on all the country's key trails, both on foot and by bike.

If you haven't been to the Upper Eden Valley in Cumbria, yet, the name says it all. Come and visit us in this wonderful part of the country.

We have brought together the expertise and experience of the teams behind Coast-to-Coast Packhorse and World Expeditions, to create S-Cape UK. We organise high quality bespoke walking, cycling and running holidays. 

Rebecca Skelton

UK Bike Tours Manager

One of my greatest passions in life is travel, from a young age my family have trekked the globe exploring the world. This sparked my enthusiasm for travel. After receiving a degree in Photography, I travelled the world on a cruise ship, meeting and working with some of the most interesting people. After living and travelling the continents, I settled in Cumbria with my husband over 10 years ago. Then. after 10 years of leading events for a local family business in Cumbria, it was time for a new challenge which led me to the team at UK Bike Tours. My love for travel is reignited and being able to help customers plan and deliver their cycling holiday in Britain is extremely rewarding.

Head of Reservations

Born and brought up in Kirkby Stephen, I have worked with Mark for a good amount of years creating bespoke packages for people walking and cycling the Coast to Coast. I have also been creating packages on other walking routes around the UK and am now involved in the exciting development of UK Bike Tours.

I enjoy exploring the beautiful countryside in Cumbria with my young children Olivia and Matilda and dog Luna and have enjoyed the pleasure of walking in other British regions such as the Lady Anne Way in northern England.
