Get behind the handlebars of a quad bike for an action-packed session across farmland trails designed for both first-timers and those with limited riding experience. Each session combines a safety briefing, full kit, and expert guidance to ensure you have a fun and safe ride through scenic surroundings. Sessions are private, allowing you to focus on riding without joining larger groups.
Your session begins with a safety briefing and demonstration, where your instructor will explain the controls and provide guidance on handling the quad bike. You’ll also be fully kitted out with overalls, gloves, and a helmet to ensure you’re ready for the trails. Once comfortable, you’ll head out on the farmland tracks, navigating a mix of turns, slopes, and natural obstacles designed to make the ride engaging without being intimidating.
During the ride, your instructor will provide tips on throttle control, braking, and cornering, helping you gain confidence as you tackle each section. Sessions are designed to be adaptable, so even if some areas are affected by weather, you’ll still enjoy the full on-bike experience. Riding privately with your group means you can take your time, practise skills, and enjoy the outdoors at your own pace.
After your session, you’ll have a chance to discuss the ride with your instructor and ask questions about the bikes or techniques, ensuring you leave with a greater understanding of quad biking. It’s a hands-on, practical experience that’s both fun and approachable for adults looking for an outdoor activity near Glasgow and Stirling.
Based on the edge of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park, the farmland trails offer a scenic mix of open fields and tree-lined paths. The location is ideal for a day trip from Glasgow (under an hour) or Stirling (30 minutes), providing easy access without a long journey.
The site is surrounded by newly planted woodland that helps offset the carbon footprint of each session, offering an environmentally conscious twist on quad biking. Parking is available on-site, and the area is easy to navigate, even for those unfamiliar with the region.
Participants should be at least 16 years old, with one rider in the group aged 18 or over. No previous quad biking experience is required, and the session is suitable for complete beginners or those with limited riding skills.
All riders must be able to wear the provided overalls and helmet comfortably, and footwear should be sturdy, such as boots, wellies, or trainers that can get muddy.
The centre has over 15 years of experience in delivering outdoor adventures and is committed to providing safe, enjoyable activities for all skill levels. Each session is led by an experienced instructor who ensures everyone gains confidence and enjoys the ride.
Sessions are private, meaning groups can ride at their own pace and receive tailored guidance, making it a perfect option for families, friends, or corporate groups.
