Survival Skills Spring Tour - provisional dates SPRING TOUR AVAILABILITY
SOLD OUT!!!!!!!
Plenty of dates still available in Kent, and days training in France have resumed!!!
---------------------
Survival Skills is off on tour again!
We've got the promise of warm spring days ahead so I'm taking bookings for courses in the Peak District and mid-Wales*.
Training in the Peaks is centred on the village of Tideswell, which is known as the Cathedral of the Peaks. This exquisite little village lies in the midst of a network of excellent biking roads, perfect for learning the finer arts of cornering. The Peaks are easily reached from West Yorkshire as well as the Midlands.
Montgomery is my Welsh base, on the borders with England that gives easy access from many parts of the Midlands as well as Liverpool/Manchester and Bristol/Swindon. WIth easy access to deserted mountain roads that provide all sorts of riding challenges, Montgomery is an excellent base for bike training.
I'll point you at inexpensive accomodation with decent food and beer in both locations if you can't get there and back easily.
*Mid-Wales dates to be confirmed, as I've now got two trips to the Peaks in the diary this spring!

Scheduled Training
My regular, scheduled training resumes in Oxford and Kent for both weekend and weekdays. Kent training starts in mid-February (weather permitting) and Oxford training in mid-March.
Don't forget the France training days either - I'll be running courses over there when the clocks go forward again in April. Book now to grab a bargain crossing from under £30 on Eurotunnel and take advantage of the wonderfully surfaced, empty French roads, with a whole bunch of hairpins to enjoy.
Check out the website survivalskills.co.uk - advanced motorcycle rider training for all motorcyclists... because it's a jungle out there for more information on these courses, which include:
* 2 day Survival Skills course will offer a broad overview of key advanced riding skills including cornering, urban riding and emergency techniques.
* 1 day Bends course. I can't tell you how fast to ride a bend (that's your choice) but by spending a day working on risk assessment and how to read corners, how to set up a good line and the machine control skills required to ride them well, you'll be far better equipped to make your own decisions!
* 2 day Double Bends course adds an extra day to the bends course. We'll ride more technical roads to really work out the skills learned on the Bends course, as well as exploring the pros and cons of techniques like popular techniques like body shifting and trail braking, as well as the extra safety benefit of braking IN corners.
* Confidence Builder 1 day (for newly qualified riders)
* Creaky Rider (1 day for returning riders)
