Awesome trek

Scenery was amazing. Tutorial for those that had never ridden before. Suits all ages and abilities. Personally preferred the scenery and birdsong on the forest ride to the river ride but both were excellent.

Thank Jo C

Thanks Jo, the birds are amazing at Peel Forest think we are one of the few places left where you get such a chorus of native birds.
