Testimonials
KM:
Absolutely amazing instructors, completed MIAS course with Thomo's at Coed-Y-Brenin, they were professional and helped to give some brilliant advice on how to further improve my mountain biking skills.
It was a pleasure riding the trails with them with some great guidance and skill assessments by them. They both had great knowledge and experience to share with the group while delivering a safe course.
Will absolutely be looking to complete further courses with them!
MH:
Hi Julie,
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you both for the last 2 days. I can honestly say that was the best outdoor course I have ever attended in the 20+ years as an outdoor professional (and that will be on my google review!).
I am currently just going through some work emails but I aim to touch base with you both about courses for 2025 for both myself and my instructors. Honestly, not touching another outdoor provider for courses anymore 😁.
Will be in touch very soon!
Kind regards
Mo

Or even if you may like to volunteer to front a session. It’s your update let us know what you would like to see, and we will try to provide it. Just some bullet points would be helpful.
