Mountian Biking at Haldon Forest

A group of students from WETC have just completed an 8 week MTB course at Haldon Forest. They have experienced a range of MTB riding terrains gradually building their confidence and skills and taking on some of the more difficult routes available. The college was lucky to be part of the Exeter Schools Partnership project which has enabled the youngsters to use bikes and safety equipment free of charge for an extra curricular club on Tuesday evenings. Students were volunteered by their form tutors to attend the course with the aim of developing their confidence and social skills. The project has been such a success that further funding has been secured and we will be opening up another course later in the year (when the light returns!) so even more students can benefit. If you think you might be interested then please see Mrs Davies so you can book your place on the next course.

I am also looking to put a MTB team together with the view to competing in some of the school competitions. If you are a keen MTBer and are interested please see CMD.
