Is this for the qualification? Usually, you’ll do the course, go away for six months or so and return with a log book full of logged rides in the hills. The reality, is that if you’re a regular off road mountain biker who likes going into the hills for a few hours, you’ll have no problem showing your experience and you’ll find that nearly every ride you do is a qualifier…
Remember that the L2 qualification is pretty all-encompassing and is designed to be achievable for outdoor instructors and walking guides who want to add a cycling element to their offering. You’ll be fine, I reckon.
Level 3 is a lot more testing, but still achievable by mortals.
