Hi
Got a pal that I owe a pressie to, and fancied getting him a session with a guide / instructor for the day. We are Edinburgh based, so someone at Glentress or Innerleithen. He's a bit of an out of practice loon on the downs - so someone that get him jumping / taking on some really technical (it's not ok to say gnarly, is that right?) descents.
Any recommendations?
What's the going rate?
Any help or guidance appreciated.
Cheers
Fraser

Ridelines or Dirt School as mentioned, both excellent. I think Ridelines do more of the guidy stuff ?

I found Andy at Ridelines to be more of a 'teacher' and very into the process of instruction with a slighly more cerebral approach. Andy at Dirt School is a bit more of a flamboyant rider. I enjoyed both and learned from both.

Guys
That's really helpful - many thanks, much appreciated. I'll give Andy at Ridelines a shout as he sounds just the job for my pal.
Cheers
