We’ve been busy at Buckle this last few days... here’s a little look at what’s been happening.
Really looking forward to welcoming visitors back again with our first guests arriving next Friday.
Over the last few months and when restrictions allowed James and Tom (the Buckle House boys) have been meeting with Liz to learn about the bikes they ride and also to feel more confident riding the amazing trails around the area. They throughly enjoy the sessions and Liz is a great coach. So if your heading our way and want a brilliant trail guide or tuition drop TrailSkills : MTB coaching and guiding Liz a line.
Did you also know that Buckle House has a lockable bike shed.
What a day it’s been today between the snow showers we’ve had beautiful sunshine and freezing cold winds but whatever the weather it’s just as stunning. We still have a little availability of 3 or 4 nights over the summer so please get in contact if you want a short break.
Yesterday the boys enjoyed a session on their bikes with the amazing Liz is fantastic at helping the boys learning new skills on riding the trails in our wonderful area. So if your coming to stay with us and fancy sharpening your skills drop her a message. You can also hire bikes from The Break Pad next to the visitor centre. Of biking isn’t your thing you can find many great walks there too.
With Spring in the air and lockdown lifting we have some availability for short breaks over the Summer months. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to know the dates.
