I did it there when it was the Yamaha Experience (I think). It was really good. I enjoyed it more than the Honda Enduro in Wales because there was more progression and people didn’t fall off as much.
Did a few clutch less downshifts on my road bike afterwards by accident.
£199 for day (10 until 15.30 / 16.00), bike and kit included. Bring packed lunch and drinks.
From memory you go in sessions, ride for 20mins or so, take a break for a bit.
Don’t remember how many breaks but I do remember feeling like I needed them and didn’t feel shortchanged.
Probably 1in2 or 1in3 sessions you are doing at the start. Towards end of the day some folks skip sessions to recover so there might be opportunity for more
Down in Golding Barn (think a bit north of Shoreham in Sussex)
From memory (it’s been 12 years and might have changed), start off in small track to learn bike. Progress to bigger track with jumps then to bigger track with bigger jump / steep downhill.
Ride mainly 250SXF, but if you’re good and want to and they have it there, you can ride a 450.
I’d advise booking Saturday to recover on Sunday as I remember being a bit sore and tired next day…
Of all the experiences I’ve done it was definitely the best value. Plus if it rains it’s not a disaster. Ron Haslam in the rain was pants. Like you could still learn but the experience was completely different in the dry.
One point on the experience from me so far. The system is a bit ‘old school’. You have to phone to secure a slot and they take your card details, but the lady on the phone said it would take 10 days or so to produce the letters as she was the “only one in the office”. Credit card still hasn’t been charged a few days later.
Maybe they have to actually write the letter and get all the info together before they charge you
I remember last time it took a bit of time but these days we are programmed for everything to happen instantly.
On the plus side when I phoned someone picked up within three rings - no long waits or thousand options to select
