I had a good experience with Andy Barlow @ Dirt School

where in the country are you?

These guys are ace. Very friendly, very encouraging. They focus on you getting the best out of the session. You'll be amazed at the stuff they can get you doing after a day's session. Huge confidence booster.

Mrd TJ did one at the hub at glentress run by the girls at the hub. Expensive but good. 3:1 pupil to instructor ratio

MB7 - we offer skills packages with bikes bought from us. Andy is a good teacher.

Highly recommended.

[url= http://www.aquickrelease.com ]A Quick Release (AQR)[/url], they're excellent.

Where are you at Brunk?

The CTC system is very good - so whichever is nearest to you would be a good place to start. Jedi uses that skills teaching system, as do we in the Surrey Hills, Llandegla too - plus several others.

Give Ed Oxley a shout...

Really, really decent guy, and you won't go far wrong..

Can't do the linkthingy I'm using my iPhone to post this..
But his addy is normally up there ^^^^

It wouldn't beat some 1-on-1 tuition, but the [url= http://www.dirtschool.co.uk/ ]Dirtschool DVD[/url] is very good; helped me develop to a level of pretending-I-know-the-basics of tackling various features.

I'm doing this weekend along with with Nigel Page in January at Gisburn Forest

I can recommend Forest Freeride in Wales, great tuition and you get free accommodation too, and location is great:

Thank you MrsMoo ... 2010 website will be up at the start of Dec'. It'll have all 2010 course dates and full details of everything going on next year. 1 and 2 day courses, Girls Only weekends, Bivvy trips, guiding, etc.

Cheers

Cheers everyone! Wasn't expecting such a good response - at work being forced to attend meetings (yawn) etc and just got back to the PC.

I'm in Bristol and would happily travel 2hrs for the sake of doing a course in a nice spot (might as well)

Will look at your suggestions and book something in - thanks again folks!

Me too ... full day of teaching a group of ladies from London. We've even managed to avoid the rain 😀

Stuart
