Introductory Quad Biking

Length of activity 2 hours.
Price £59
Locations Cheshunt Hertfordshire (South),
Walton On Trent Derbyshire (Central).

Quad biking is a fantastic experience that is great fun, easily learnt and quite rightly on everybody’s ‘to-do list’. If you have never quad biked before, don’t worry because you will be given full tuition by a qualified instructor. Once you arrive at your chosen centre, after a thorough safety briefing you’ll get kitted out in protective clothing and be introduced to your quad bike.

To begin with you will be driving on level ground round a marked circuit while you build up your confidence and get a feel for the bike. As you gain experience you’ll be able to shift up a gear and soon you’ll be speeding round the turns. You will then be able to take off on a quad safari for a taste of what quad biking is really about, venturing along woodland tracks, through water and up and down slopes. Remember that instructors will be with you all the way. You will get mud spattered, but thankfully you can hand in your muddy overalls at the end.

The bikes you will be riding are usually Honda 250ESs. These are utility machines with five forward gears and are operated by an electric thumb shift. Or Sportrax 90s – these are smaller, sports-tuned quad bikes.

Initially, you will ride around a flat course so you can familiarise yourself with your quad bike and build up your confidence before being unleashed on the agility circuit.
