Good to know . . 

Sessions run in all weathers and it's the best activity when it's raining as it makes no difference and we see more wildlife on the grey days! After all, who'd want to be on a bike or up a hill in the rain! If it's windy we'll load one of our two trailers and go somewhere sheltered. Sessions are all 'open' which means that you will be joining others on your trip - private sessions are available - see below and drop us an email.
