This winter I fancy a go at off roading MX style. I came across Fun in the Mud near balado. The guy runs some sort of course there and will do a lesson for a reasonable sum...BUT when I called it seemed it was a bit of a side line and only time available was "about 4:30 mate any day". I actually want to go during the day......

So anyone know where I can go to sample an MX experience for a couple of hours in Perthshire.?
Cheers

As far as I know, 'Fun in the Mud' is the only off-road training available in Perthshire set up with hired bikes.

There are a couple of farmers in the Perthshire area who have set up off road tracks that might let you ride them if you can get access to an off-road bike. Failing that you might try some of the 4x4 tracks designed for off road driving but again you'll need a bike.

There is a place I use in the borders that hire little 150cc dirt bikes and the guy who runs the business also runs bike tours but it'll mean a trip to Selkirk. Mind you the Glendearg Sortie involves a superb ride over rough country and there are excellent facilities for making a weekend of it.

I've posted details about this elsewhere on the forum so you may have to do a little searching.

There used to be an off road facility up in Inverness-Shire also for bikes but I believe that particular facility closed down.

The Lanarkshire Off Road and Quad Club have an excellent track but no hired bikes but then you're getting further west again.

You might also try Knockhill. 'Fun in the Mud' used to operate from there but I don't know if they have another provider now or not.

Might also be worth phoning Drysdale's in Perth - they might know if anyone runs anything locally.

Failing that you're looking at a trip South of the Border where there is an abundance of off-road schools, greenlane tours, off-road tours and supermoto tours.

I've got several contact details. Feel free to drop me a PM and I'll pass some of them on if you are interested.

fancy this my self but at a bing etc feedom to have fun
done it a few years ago with m8's bike. did look last year at place's
but it's all slow you cant do that [kill joy's]

Cheers for the responses. Looks like "Fun in the Mud" is it. I'll drop by Drysdales and ask Thomas what he thinks...its him whos trying to sell me an off roader, but I want to try it first.
