Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Cx is not fat tyres I know but stunned to hear that Charlie Craig has died.

15 years old and one of the best - died in his sleep

Sad times

That is very sad.

Megster I am really envious of your course. It sounds absolutely brilliant and just what I need. Up here I'd have to pay a small fortune for similar I expect. I will go look into it though.

I think under normal circumstances the course is around £125, for 5 half days and a full day guided ride on Dartmoor, which I think is still good value. It might be worth checking at your local trail centre - our 'chap' bases himself at ours...

The closest trails are Learnie Red Rock which are forestry commission and there is just a car park there so no information centre/cafe/base for them to work out of. I know there are companies locally I just need to find them. I'll look here dmbins.com later.

In fact I have just remembered there is a youth club based out of Learnie - they encourage parents and kids to ride together. I must encourage QP to go so I can go too :)

I forgot to say that cath. I would definitely pay £125 for that - it's very good value.
