Hit the trails for a full day of guided motorbike riding through the scenic Surrey Hills. This ride to Hindhead is designed for intermediate and experienced riders who want to cover varied terrain, gain more confidence off-road, and enjoy a well-organised day on two wheels. All equipment is included, and you’ll be led by instructors who live and breathe trail riding.
Your day begins at the centre with refreshments and a warm welcome from your instructors. After allocating kit and running through a detailed safety briefing, you’ll be introduced to the techniques you’ll need for the day. You’ll then head out onto the trails without delay, taking on a well-planned 80-mile route that weaves its way through a mix of tracks, gravel paths, country lanes and green roads toward Hindhead. The terrain is varied, with some gentle technical challenges to keep things exciting without being overwhelming. Throughout the day, instructors will provide tips and support to help you feel confident, whether you’re navigating woodland paths, shallow water crossings or loose sections.
Lunch is a proper stop – a good pub meal in a local spot before you get back on the bikes for the return leg. The second part of the day typically features different tracks with more mud, sand or water, depending on conditions, offering new riding experiences and keeping things fresh. Your bike – a nimble 250cc enduro – is built for this sort of terrain, and your guides will always tailor the ride to suit the group’s confidence and preferences. You’ll finish up with a quick debrief, chance to clean up, and a final cuppa before heading off.
Based in Surrey, just outside Dorking, the session takes you deep into the countryside with quick access to the network of green roads leading to Hindhead and beyond. You’ll be riding through the heart of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with trails that include woodland singletrack, sandy lanes, chalky climbs and flowing bridleways. The route covers around 80 miles in total, offering a real mix of terrain with hardly any time spent on busy roads.
This area is one of the most popular for trail riding in the South East thanks to the variety of routes and the accessibility from London and surrounding areas. Public rights of way used are legal for motorcycles and carefully chosen to maximise enjoyment while keeping the experience safe and respectful for other users. Your guides know the area well and will adapt the day depending on weather, rider confidence and ground conditions.
Participants must be aged 25 or over and hold a valid full motorcycle licence. Although solo bookings are welcome, a minimum of three people is required for the session to run. If you book alone, you’ll be contacted once minimum numbers have been met so you can start planning your travel. This session is designed for those who are comfortable riding a motorcycle and looking to improve or maintain their off-road skills. No off-road experience is necessary, but previous road riding confidence is essential.
All safety kit, bikes, and refreshments are provided – you just need to show up with your licence and a willingness to ride. Everything else is taken care of, making this an easy and low-stress way to try trail riding or get out for a day of proper riding without the faff.
This trail riding experience is run by instructors who live and breathe motorcycling, with decades of combined road and off-road riding experience. Their love for riding didn’t stop at the tarmac – after countless hours of road instruction each week, they took to the trails to rekindle their passion for bikes. What started as personal rides to Morocco and monthly UK adventures quickly evolved into guiding others on the same kind of days they looked forward to themselves.
Sessions are designed to be practical, enjoyable and rider-focused. The team knows what makes a day on the bike great – a relaxed start, proper kit, excellent local trails, solid lunch stops and expert but friendly instruction. They ride the routes themselves regularly, keep the bikes in top condition and are quick to adapt the day to fit the riders, terrain or weather. It's all about giving people a proper, hassle-free experience that’s about the riding, not ticking boxes.
No, there are no additional charges to worry about. Everything you need for the day is included in the package. This covers the bike hire, helmet, full protective gear, and insurance. A pub lunch is also part of the package, so you won’t need to bring extra money unless you want to buy additional drinks or snacks.
The pricing is set up to be all-inclusive so you can just focus on riding. You won’t be asked to pay extra for clothing, kit upgrades or safety equipment, and nothing is charged on the day unless you've made a prior arrangement for something specific outside the standard offering.
Yes, all the essential riding gear is supplied. This includes helmets, gloves, waterproof layers (if needed), enduro jackets and trousers, goggles, knee and elbow armour, and boots. The gear provided is high quality and specifically designed for off-road riding, so you'll be properly kitted out no matter the weather.
You’re welcome to bring your own kit, but it will need to be assessed by the team on the day to ensure it meets the required safety standards. The only things you need to bring are a t-shirt or base layer to wear under the armour – something you don’t mind getting dirty – and a pair of thick socks for the boots.
Spectating isn’t really possible due to the nature of the activity. Most of the riding takes place out in the countryside, away from the main base, and the trails aren’t in areas that are easy to access by foot or vehicle unless you're part of the guided session.
If you’re travelling with someone, they’re welcome to wait at the start point, but once the riding begins, there won't be practical opportunities for them to follow or observe. The focus is very much on giving riders a full day out on the trails, so anyone not taking part may prefer to explore the local area instead.
Yes, you will need to hold a valid motorcycle licence to take part. This is a requirement for all riders, and it’s not possible to join the day if you don’t have one. The session is designed for people who already know how to ride and want to experience trail and off-road riding in a supported environment.
That said, they do welcome a mix of experience levels – whether you're newly qualified or have years of road experience but are new to off-road terrain. The day is tailored to suit different abilities, so as long as you have a licence, the instructors will adapt the routes and pace to suit.
The session includes third-party cover, meaning you're insured for damage or injury caused to others while riding. Public liability insurance is also in place for added protection, covering accidents that may happen as part of the guided session.
However, personal accident insurance is not included, so if you want additional cover for yourself in case of injury, you’ll need to arrange that separately. It’s not mandatory, but some riders prefer to take out personal insurance for peace of mind.
You can expect to be on the bike for around 4 to 5 hours. This is broken up with a proper lunch stop at a pub, allowing time to refuel and rest before heading back out onto the trails.
The riding time is generous and well-paced, with a mix of trail conditions and terrain to keep things interesting. Instruction is given throughout the day as needed, but the emphasis is on making the most of the time on the bike rather than classroom-based sessions.
Yes, you're welcome to book on your own – you don’t need to be part of a group to reserve a spot. However, each session requires a minimum of three participants to go ahead. If you're the first or second person to book, the session will remain open for others to join until that minimum is met.
As soon as three riders are confirmed, you’ll receive a notification to let you know the session is officially running. This is the point when you can start arranging any transport or accommodation, knowing the day will definitely go ahead. If numbers aren’t reached straight away, the team will keep you updated and aim to group you into the next available session.
