A present for my birthday, owner driver whole day course with Dave. Took the Jeep Rubicon, and did stuff in it I’d never dream of doing. Dave’s instruction is clear, concise, and inclusive, the quarry is amazing, the severity of some of the slopes is bordering scary, and the feeling afterward is amazing. Can’t praise them enough. Go do!

Cannop Cycle Centre

Cannop Cycle Centre is the starting point for the Forest of Dean Family Cycle Trail which consists of eleven miles of waymarked, surfaced tracks. Two singletrack trails have been designed for cyclists looking for a more adventurous ride. The 7.4 mile red grade (difficult) Freeminer Trail and the 7 mile blue grade (moderate) Verderers' Trail. For experienced riders only, there are a number of 'downhill' trails and an uplift service available. A pump track and advanced skills area has been built which can be used as a coaching area / taster area to mountain biking. A pump track is a short circular loop where the rider will go up and down over a series of humps. This propels the rider around using the momentum created by the down slopes without pedalling. As well as this, a couple of short downhill training lines with technical trail features has also been built on the advanced skills area so riders can gradually progress and build up the confidence.

Reviewed By MichelleM22 - Andover, United Kingdom

We booked activities for 8 of us for a girls weekend away (14/12/19). After researching online for nearby outdoor activities, half of us decided to do the 1hr Assault Course and the other half chose the 2hr Adventure Challenge. The assault course is pretty short and straightforward at first glance ..but not to be underestimated! We completed the course 4 times but each time with a new team challenge and new props to get around the obstacles. Really entertaining, lots of friendly competition and plenty of giggles and bruises! It's tough on your knees fyi! The other half of our group didn't go ahead with the Adventure Challenge (the height spooked some people once they saw it!) but it wasn't a problem, our instructor kindly let us all take part in the Archery activity instead. Great instruction and made really fun! Definitely recommend this company - good humble outdoor fun for friends and family. We're all in our mid thirties and thought it was great!
