Testimonials:
" I wanted to say a huge thank you for the wonderful weekend I just had at Glentress. Andy & Iain were fantastic leaders & their step-by-step approach really filled me with confidence. If I had been shown any of the trails before the weekend started I wouldn't have believed I would be tackling them in just a couple of days time. Now I have the basic skills I can happily go away & practice & plan more trips to Glentress to take advantage of the wonderful trails there again very soon." Heather, UK

“Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for an excellent weekend. Robin was an excellent tutor - not only for me personally, but it was obvious he was looking after the whole group - especially building Liz's confidence back up after her crash @ the top of Spooky Wood without neglecting the rest of us. The video camera was great too, although I await my embarrassing moments', which Robin has promised to send on to me, with baited breath. The course has definitely helped me move on and get out of a rut, as well as build confidence and skills. I would certainly recommend you and Robin to anyone wishing to improve their bike skills. In summary: An excellent instructor, a great atmosphere, great location and I don't know how you booked the weather - 2 days of glorious warm sunshine in October in Scotland! Take care and good luck.” Mark, London
