When and where are you thinking of doing this? It's probably been posted up but I can't find anything.

I'm back in work as of tomorrow so may be able to take a small group 3/4 out over this way sometime soon. I'd rather small groups of similar abilities as everyone learns more but don't mind doing several sessions for different abilities. No payment required, just a mug of coffee and a slice of cake if you feel like it.
For those that don't know, as well as working on mtb techniques I used to be a driving instructor so do know a thing or two about teaching. (Learning styles, confidence building, staged learning etc)

Thats very generous Doug. What days/times are best for you?
Crafnant seems fairly central and falling on the loose stuff is better compared to harder stuff. Has anyone got further suggestions on other suitable venues?

Crafnant is a bit far for me at the moment unless someone from Wrexham area fancies a lift share. Even then I'd prefer to do the session somewhere without the risk of toxic infection. The end of the Marin and other natural trails there would be fine. I'll also do a session or two over Wrexham way if there's enough interest.
Most Sunday's are best for me but I won't know which ones for sure until I return to work tomorrow. I'll try to get a mate who has helped in the past to come so we can split the groups between basics and intermediate.

Doug - I'm happy to give you a lift if you need one from Wrexham however if you are planning to split the ability groups I would be in a beginners group with regard to jumping etc - although I'm very good at the "hope and pray" skill!!!!! lol! ;D

The best place to do it would be the skills loop at Nant BH, dont think you could get a better venue to be hounest, it has jumps, berms, drops, woodwork. Not sure how you would go about using it tho
