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

Martin and Paul,

MIAS Conference 2024 I wanted to say a huge thank-you for what was a fantastic weekend.  

As a newbie to the MIAS group I was excited and curious to see what the conference weekend would be like.  All my expectations were exceeded, it was a great experience!  Thank you both for arranging the weekend, and Paul for hosting us at your wonderful centre.

Kudos also to Ernie - his night ride was a great way to round off day 1. On Sunday he led our group of  L1's aspiring to be L2's. For a student he is an inspiring tutor.

 

 

MIAS Conference 28-30/11/2025 Hollowford Centre, Castleton, places based on first come first served

2024 Event went really well, attended by almost double the attendees of MIAS Leaders and Tutors than 2023

Hi folks,

 Apologies if you have already received this email.

I thought you would like to know about this years MIAS Conference as you booked on last years event. We have already got 25 newcomers on the list, so as you know from experience early booking may be prudent.

A few things are changing, more workshops delivered by more people, lots more practical stuff in small groups. More night ride options. But we still have Martin’s Big Raffle.

 

Here is a link to the booking form for the MIAS 2025 Conference – MIAS Weekend 2025

 

Cost for the weekend - £150

 

Arrive Friday evening. Food from Saturday breakfast through to Sunday packed lunch (included). Accommodation and workshops included.

 

Yes, we can invoice for a group. But we need individuals details for allergies, fire regs etc, so each person needs to complete a form. There is a box for notes (Group Name, Lead person etc) at the bottom of the form. Also let us know if you want your group in the same room.

 

Sorry, NO card payments for bookings.

 

We will confirm your booking once payment has been received. No payment, no place, you will be turned away.

 

 

Bar on site, will be open both evenings from 19.00 Friday and Saturday with card payments accepted.

 

We will have space indoors to stores bikes overnight, and access to extremely efficient drying rooms should you get wet (bikes will not appreciate the drying rooms!).

 

 

Any questions, any offers of workshops, any requests for topics to be covered over the weekend, please ask.

 

Don’t expect a booking response between the 9th and 26th August . James Cc’d above is a great contact re booking, payment, but don’t ask him anything about bikes.
