Swinley kids biking holiday club…

My son went on the biking holiday club day this week. Great routes through Swinley forest with really nice people, who are very helpful and happily share their bike knowledge/experience. The price is competitive compared to other all day holiday clubs too and if they take a fall I'm totally confident the instructors will take good care of him until I get there.

Amazing experience - brilliant coaches

My two boys had never visited Swinley trails or The Summit before and the Holiday day camp coaches were super friendly, and the boys had an amazing time. They learnt loads and made lots of new friends too. Huge thanks to the team - we'll be back soon!

Professional, well-organised and friendly

My son came home absolutely buzzing from the Kids Day Camp. As a new budding mountain biker, it's great that such a professional team is available to answer his questions and make recommendations, and generally enhance his enjoyment of learning how to ride. Many thanks!

Had a 2 hour coaching session with Aidan, helping me (39) and my son (15) build confidence with jumping. Really informative, great facilities and we left with much better understanding and overall confidence to keep progressing.

Great coaching by Simon

What a fantastic day improving our jumping and drop-off skills with Simon.

His coaching, knowledge and encouragement were superb and by the end of the session we were confidently hitting gap jumps and black-grade drop-offs we wouldn’t have attempted before.

A brilliant day and we’ll definitely be booking another session soon. Highly recommended.

I hired an electric MTB for my Son!… we were some 14 mins into a non stop run when his rear gear mech decided that enough was enough and folded itself up into itself and snapped off!… I towed him back to the bike hub where the lads immediately swapped it out for a new mech and we were in our way within 15mins!… excellent service and unfortunate circumstances!… A+

Helpful guide

Barb did well with a group of mixed confidence and ability. She had an excellent knowledge of the forest trails and was able to tailor the route to the group.
We were given tips and tricks and encouraged to try these out safely.
It was helpful to have a gazebo and table with the party package.

Great place to rent a bike

We rented a bike for my son, the staff were friendly and happy to get the bike set up straight away. The bike itself was great - very high end and well tuned, and the trails at Swinley were a lot of fun (if a little rocky). Only problem is my son really wants a bike like that now!!

Great bikes, amazing trails

Exceptional service: welcoming staff, great equipment level and well-maintained bikes. Really loved my first time here and already looking forward to coming back. I got an Orbea Occam SL today, can recommend the model as well.
