Can I come alone
Yes, we get lots of our guests coming on their own for our Riding
by Sea programme
However, there is a minimum of two persons recommended for the Trail
Rides which are all self-led trails. Most of our guests come in their
own groups for the trails and do not like to have anyone else join
them.
It is strongly recommended that you do not do the trails alone.
However, you can put your details on our “Riders
Meeting Page” on
our web site and see can you come up with
a companion to ride the trails with ...see Published
