Overview

You'll be assessed on the skills you developed on your Level 2 training to show that you're an effective mountain bike leader, so you'll need to demonstrate navigation and route finding skills and incident management techniques, amongst others. We’re surrounded by some of the finest mountain biking routes in Europe, with world class single track routes, including the Gwydyr Forest trails and the Penmachno Trail right outside our back door. Other classic trails at Coed y Brenin and Coed Llandegla are only a short drive from our centre. Plus, there’s the iconic ride of Snowdon. But you'll also find purpose-built skills and coaching circuit and bike workshop facility with a wide range of tools and resources, plus maps to help you get the most from the area.
