    I thought it was crap t be honest. the group i got put with had never ridden a bike on the road before, let alone on a dirk track!! we took ages to get off the training circle as they kept dropping the bikes and when we finally did get out it was so slow i was actually bored going around. I have never ridden off road before so this was aimed at me, but it was a shame they also let people without a bike licence do it too.
    What i will say though is the instructors were top notch and the course looked like it could've been fun, the instructors were all at the top of the scale for expierience and had the patience of a saint with some of the guys, and that is why i am going to join them on a proper off road day rather than the taster day before i pass judgement on Off roading :)

    I must have got lucky,all the guys in my group were pretty good,we spent most time on the big course,though to be fair it was very dry and hot so there was no mud to slide around in,the ruts were well dodgy,knee deep in some places and thee was a huge hill you had to give loads of throttle on,a lot of people binned it there and had to be rescued by instructors who as you say we're top notch
