What to Expect

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.

Location

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.

Prerequisites

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.
