BIKING BAIRNS MTB CAMPS

Location(s) - HAMSTERLEY FOREST Age range - 7 years to 10 years old

Terrain - Grass areas, gentle trails (and possibly parts of the Blue trail or the Skills Loop where ability allows).

Maximum ratio - 1:8

Our MTB Camps are run in association with Hamsterley Forest - Forestry England.

If you want your bairn to get into riding mountain bikes then the BIKING BAIRNS MTB CAMPS are ideal for them, these camps are about having mountains of fun and good times riding bikes, whilst learning the essential skills required to tackle blue  trails safely and confidently.

BIKING BAIRNS MTB CAMPS takes place on one 2.5 hour half-day session; and cover body position, safe braking, trail etiquette, corners and essential MTB skills. They are a great way for your bairn to develop the techniques to control their bikes.

Note: the content of these sessions are designed so your Bairns can do the Biking Bairns camp several time to develop their skills and have fun. The skills and trails covered can vary depending on the Bairns skill and fitness level - NB. Hamsterley Forest is not flat and to access trails and to ride some trails will require some amount of climbing.

The BIKING BAIRNS MTB CAMPS are ideal if your Bairn is already riding bikes and knows how to stand up whilst riding and use their brakes as a minimum, but equally caters for bairn’s who’re already keen young riders.

Sessions with 2 or more junior riders are no problem.

If we don’t have a minimum of 2 riders on a Kids MTB Camp, we will have to look at other options, re-arrange or cancel the session; either prior to the session, or if other riders don’t turn up on the day.
