Mountain Biking

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. (Lunch is not provided)

The ratio is 1 instructor to 8 participants. A group leader MUST participate with the group at all times on this activity as an additional person to the ratio if necessary.
