Experience has told us that learning as part of a larger group is far more productive. In a group you get to monitor the rest of the group and learn from their actions. However, we appreciate that some people would prefer a private session, therefore we offer 1-2-1 Training that can cover any of the above courses, or tailored to meet your requirements. This is perfect for those wanting to concentrate more on a particular technique of their riding.
We can only accept 1-2-1 bookings for weekends. Please Contact Us for further information and available dates.
