Our Courses: |
We offer a range of courses to suit any combination of bike, tyres and rider!
Short Course:
A short day, approximately 10:00am to 3:00pm, with a break for lunch, this
course is an excellent introduction to adventure riding. It is suitable for any
bike/tyre combination, not just adventure style bikes. We cover the rudiments of
off-tarmac bike control. By the end of the day participants will be able to
assess if a route, or section of a route, is suitable for them, ride in control
on a variety of surfaces and learn to 'feel for grip', as well as having had a
really enjoyable day out! From £75 per rider. Choose your dates
here, please contact us to book.
Day Course:
A full day out, approximately 9:00am to 5:00pm, with a break for lunch. This
course takes all the Short Course learning, and extends it in both the range and
amount of skills covered. Ideally aimed at adventure bike riders, it is suitable
for any tyre and rider. By the end of the day participants will have ridden a
wide variety of surfaces, learnt to handle their bike in a variety of
situations, have increased confidence in approaching and riding untarmaced
roads, and probably be a little tired and dirty. What fun! From £95 per
rider. Choose your dates here, please contact
us to book.
Two Day/Weekend Course:
Either about 9:00am one day until 5:00pm the next, or Friday evening until
Sunday afternoon, this course offers the essence of Adventure Riding. We would
aim to be self-contained for the duration of the course, although evening
refreshment may be up for discussion! This course extends the rider in learning
to cover unsurfaced roads with all the luggage and equipment required for an overnight
stay, or 2! This course can be structured to stand alone, or to build on what is
learnt in either the Short or Day courses. The greater time allows for an
experience on many different surfaces, and can also include navigation and/or
field maintenance/emergency repairs. By the end of this course the rider will be
confident on, or at least aware of, many different surfaces, have a greater
understanding of the logistics and practice of unsupported motorcycling, have
gained an experience of the joys and freedoms offered by 'any Road' motorcycling
and, I hope, want to do it again. Now! From £245 per rider. Choose your dates
here, please contact us to book.
One Day Adventure:
Not so much a course, more an experience. The emphasis on this day is
adventure riding, both unsurfaced and surfaced roads. There is a wide variety of
terrain to be covered, some wonderful views to be had and some stunning gems to
be ridden. This experience is best suited to adventure style bikes with
adventure tyres.
Please note: This is not an Enduro or Trail Challenge, and is designed for
riders who have completed the Day or Weekend Course or be of similar experience.
From £95 per rider. Choose your dates here, please contact
us to book.
Weekend Adventure:
Like the One Day Adventure, only more so! From £245 per rider. Choose
your dates here, please contact
us to book.
Ardennes Adventure:
New for 2011. Please watch this space or contact us

Road Trip:
A week or so from the UK to Northern Spain and back. This is a camping based
trip, and covers a lot of ground! We know some of the best campsites and
lay-bys, some fantastic roads, both surfaced and unsurfaced, wonderful vistas,
food as good as you want it to be. How about a Pyrenean mountain view in the
morning then a swim in the Med. in the afternoon? This trip is suitable for full
licence holders only, riders should be willing to spend some long days in the
saddle. From £495 per rider. Choose your dates here,
please contact us to book or for more information.
