The Centre is adjacent to the Downslink Cycle Route and this is
an ideal route to gain access to the extensive bridleway system
leading to the Downs and the South Downs Way.
We use
a variety of different routes in the area which vary in difficulty
from fairly flat countryside to the more challenging slopes up
to the Downs. Our sessions can be varied in length from a 2-hour
session to a more demanding all-day session of 6 hours, including
a lunch stop en route.
