Afternoon all.
Looking at buying a mate a skills course as a gift (I'd be going too!) but not sure when to book it for, and I'm a bit injured at the moment, so I don't want to book anything yet, but instead buy a gift voucher in lieu of the course that can be redeemed.
Anyone got any good recommendations?
I'm Manchester based, so can get to Lancs, Peak, N/Wales etc quite easy. I tried Mr Oxley, but he doesn't offer such a service unfortunately.
Obliged for any info.

Just make up your own gift voucher and sort dates/payments when you're ready, no?
I can recommend Trailhum based in Kendal; I've had two lessons from John Kettle and can highly recommend him. I believe he would travel to meet you in your preferred locations, but I've had two cracking days in the lakes. Each introducing new skills and techniques combined with putting them in to practice on some lovely singletrack. He asked me what I wanted to work on and he tailored the format to suit me. Pretty much a perfect mix of coaching and guiding all in a day.

I know you say you've tried Ed-O, but there's gift vouchers on the website here http://great-rock.co.uk/shop/
Ah couldn't find them on Great Rock website, but I emailed him and he said he wasn't doing them for time being. Would have like to go with him, but will look into the suggestions so far.
Cyclewise in Cumbria seem to have some good courses and think I've seen them on a STW article once a little while back.
Thanks

Plenty of other choice around Yorkshire. Ed was ok, but I will certainly be trying elsewhere next time
