Navigation Skills | Farms & Fields

"Thanks to Gary (the coach) who was a great teacher & really knew how to push me in the right way that meant I achieved exactly what I wanted to achieve!"

"I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Tackling Roots course yesterday. Jess was a great instructor, providing a good balance of tuition versus practice."

"May I suggest that before anybody buys a new bike that they do a course with these people first - far more cost effective. You'll be surprised what any bike can do!"

"A massive thank you for the Core Skills course and guided ride last weekend. I'm still buzzing from it and boring everyone about being able to do a manual!"

"Good sound advice, demonstrations and opportunities to practice"

"A couple of weeks ago I didn't have the confidence to ride over a match stick, let alone a rooty trail or a few logs"

"Thank you so much for the skills training. I didn't think I'd learn so much about my riding style (or lack of!)"

"The day was really great. I certainly got a lot out of the coaching. It will really help with my riding"

"I thought that the learning points were put across very clearly and effectively with well executed demonstrations"

"I was transformed from a timid toddler on trainer wheels to a half pipe hero"

"Learn from professional riders in a really friendly and fun atmosphere"

"With courses costing as little as £60 it's a small investment, but will have a significant impact on your riding"

"With a professional British Cycling Instructor watching your every move, it's surprising how many faults they can find"
