Quad Bike Trekking...
Drive a powerful all-terrain quad bike through 100 acres of challenging countryside incorporating slopes, mud, grassland and picturesque woodland.
Format
The hour long trek starts with a training session to ensure the participants know how to ride and control a bike. An undulating countryside stage allows the instructor to judge the trekkers' skill level before proceeding to a suitably challenging route through dense woodland, mud, water and harsh terrain.
Our experienced quad instructor will lead the guests throughout to ensure safe techniques are used and to lead the group around the 100 acres of Wedgnock Rifle Range.
Up to five trekkers can be taken out by the quad instructor during each session. If you can’t fill all five spaces we can mix individuals and small groups together to form a trek session.
When
Quad treks operate all year round, seven days a week and whatever the weather. Daylight is required, so availability during the winter is more restricted.
Weekends tend to be in high demand so standard booking times are used. Typically sessions start at 9.30 AM, 11.00 AM, 12.30 PM and 2.00 PM.
All quad treks are booked in advance – we don’t offer any “turn up and drive” sessions.
Equipment
The quad bikes used are Polaris Hawkeye 300 cc, 2x4 rear wheel drive bikes. These are very capable machines offering all round independent suspension, automatic gearbox, comfortable riding position, high-grip off-road tyres and are highly controllable.
Everyone wears a full face crash helmet (just in case!) and gloves to protect hands from passing undergrowth. You are welcome to bring your own helmet as long as it is a modern design, in good condition and is a full face model.
Cost
A one hour trek will cost £40 per person (includes VAT).
We need a minimum of two people to make a trek viable to run. At weekends we run open sessions where individuals and small groups are mixed together to fill the spaces (we aim to fill all five spaces on each trek).
Group Rates
For a flat rate of £180 you can have your own private trek for up to five people – no others will be mixed in with your group. Group sessions can be run at weekends or midweek.

Who Can Take Part
All trekkers must be 16 years old or over, as the quad bikes we use are designed for adults. If you are lucky enough to look younger than 16 you will need to bring along some proof of age.
During the initial stages of the trek the instructor will assess the ability of every participant. Occasionally a trekker won’t reach the minimum required level of riding ability to continue (around one person in every 50). If this does happen we will refund the participant in full.
Disabled participants are welcome to book in and go through the same assessment process. If you can demonstrate that you can ride a quad bike safely you can take part.
The quads are steered using a handlebar (the same as a push bike), accelerated using a thumb throttle and braked using a finger operated lever (the same as a push bike) and / or a foot pedal. Every participant must be able to confidently steer, brake and accelerate using these controls, so moderate strength is required. Body weight must also be transferred around the bike to safely ride up and across sloped ground.

We will check availability and provisionally book you in at a suitable time and date. A booking confirmation will be sent to you detailing the booking (date, time, directions and clothing advice) and requesting payment in full by a set date (usually ten days before the quad trek). Paying confirms the booking.
