I teach in a Pupil Referral Unit in West Yorkshire that caters for 11-14 year olds. I am looking for a venue within close proximity where we could hire bikes and an instructor/ tour guide. Ideally within an hours drive from Huddersfield...

Does anybody know anybody/ anywhere that could cater for our needs?

Thanks in advance

Dave

Dave - Speak to Dave Baldwin (I think, I'll check back at the office and dig out contact information).

He is outdoor learning advisor for some Huddersfield schools.

Even if he is not yours, he can offer advice. That will include a good, AALS licence holding provider, possibly Lotc or Hudds approved.

Try Leeds Urban Bike Park, they have bikes to hire and a pool of instructors to might be able to put a package together.
We used to take a small group of pupils from a WY PRU to Ladybower, it was a bit of a distance but we used to get a good deal on the bikes however you'd probably need to arrange your own qualified instructor. I believe the bike hire place was seasonal so probably closed at the moment.

Hollingworth Lake Activity centre. Great instructors, great terrain and pretty close to you.
