Best off road experience?

[Chicken Chaser]

I want to sort an off road day or 2 day experience for next year, probably somewhere in Wales. Has anyone done more than one who could compare the 2? I know of:

Yamaha Off Road @ Sweetlamb
KTM Ady Smith
Honda - Dave Thorpe
Kawasaki - Mick Extance

Dave Thorpe's school for me.

I can highly recommend this set-up in the Welsh Marches, very well organised and knowledgable, but also quite relaxed in their approach and happy to tailor to customers’ wishes - http://www.adventureride.co.uk/
Myself and a mate had a great day out on bikes provided as part of the package.

Very professional outfit and amazing value at £100 for a full trials day including bikes and all the gear!

I've done -

Yamaha Off Road - mid-wales
KTM Ady Smith - north wales

Both the same - introduction to the bike/s, and then they throw you into it. Good day all round. I simply wanted to test the bikes and see if i enjoyed it. I did, now getting into it, and have also booked a trip to Romania in June.

KTM does different things, the 1 2 1 sessions are on my radar next before Romania, as well as getting out to Cowm etc. (transport is an issue).

Also looking at a trials day on a trials bike to see if i enjoy the more technical elements rather than hooning it.

If you're after two great days riding trails in Spain then take a look at http://montanaadventures.co.uk. After 30 years road riding and a couple of epic dirt road adventures this was a real eye opener. Just had no idea what was possible on a 65kg bike at 10psi on narrow goat tracks, boulders, cliff edges, etc. As technical as you want it (guide is a SSDT competitor) and fantastic food & scenery.

I've booked on a course in Spain with Letsridespain next week. As a complete offroad novice it looked like a good option.

Can't do Spain i'm afraid. I'm looking to tie it in with a holiday with wife and 2 kids (one 4, one 0) and with the youngest being so young (she's not born yet), I dont want to be taking her abroad. The idea is to go for a week and do a couple of days on a bike. I've already had it sanctioned!

You've got that well planned! Wish I could have a few days away from the kids whilst on holiday, but I chance of that.

BMW offer a weekend off road experience but I believe it is not the cheapest weekend.... A mate of a mate gave it a go and loved it.
