Summary
Our skills courses are based in the Peak District because it’s got some fantastic terrain and brilliant circular rides for all abilities – and we live nearby so we know all the best rides! On both courses our emphasis is always on lots of ‘doing’ rather than lots of talking simply because you learn quicker that way – and it’s more fun!
Our introductory skills course suits anyone who can ride a bike confidently on roads but hasn’t sampled the delights of off-road riding yet. We will cover lots of essential skills on terrain that gradually increases in difficulty to let your skills progress at a level that suits you. We match the ride to the fitness levels within the group but on this course rides will usually be around 15-20km in length.
Skills covered will include;
- Safety and trail etiquette
- Basic bike maintenance and set up
- How to deal with simple mechanical problems on rides and issues to consider when choosing equipment.
- Introductory climbing and safe descending.
- Techniques for cornering safely
- Tackling trail obstacles such as tree roots and drop-offs.
- Finding information on suitable rides to continue your development
By the end of this course you will be confident to move your riding on and to plan and ride some routes under your own steam – or maybe move on to our intermediate course….

Accommodation Information
This course is non-residential, so if you do not live locally, you may need to arrange your own accommodation.
We have tried to make some good links with local B&B's, Guesthouses and Campsites to give you comprehensive choice when booking accommodation to coincide with your Pure Outdoor course.
This section has been broken down into two sections. Those travelling up on Public Transport and staying in the Hathersage area (we recommend this as it has a direct rail link with Sheffield and Manchester and your course instructor can come pick you up on the morning of the course) and a section for those of you who will be driving up to the course who have a little more freedom.
The Pure Outdoor Training centre is about 4 miles from Hathersage and Bakewell and only a mile or so from the villages of Eyam and Calver.
