Can anyone recommend a skills course based in or near the Borders for an intermediate level rider. I want to get the wife an anniversary pressie which encourages her to get out with me more on the mountain and less on the darkside.
Ta in advance

Been with Dirtschool and Ridelines, both ace. But which one?
Their approach felt a bit different. I reckon Andy Barlow at Dirtschool's a great coach, basically you take along your goals and he gives you tools but it's very much down to you. Whereas Andy Weir at Ridelines is possibly the better [i]teacher[/i], if you've got people who want to be lifted, rather than want to know how to lift themselves, I reckon they're the better choice.
But you really can't go wrong with either, they're great classes and top blokes.
Thanks guys, especially Northwind for the breakdown. I'll see what they've got available while we over.
Northwind, thats the best description i've read for the differences between them and exactly how i would put it.
Only used Dirt School and Andy was fantastic. I've had a noticeable improvement in my riding since my session earlier this year
Also used Dirtschool and Andy was very good. Would recommend to anyone
How about Rik at Drumlanrig:

I spent a fun morning hitting the trails with him a couple of years ago and found it really helpful.
oops! So good I posted twice!!
