5 Reasons Mountain Biking is Great for Children …and 5 Things to Look Out For
Ask anyone if time in the outdoors is good for children, and few will disagree. “Of course! Get out there!” we all chorus.
Most of us know that outside adventures should be a big part of children’s lives.
12 things to see on the South Downs Way
The view up here is amazing. To our right, forests and thickets slope down towards a labyrinth of castles, forests and country pubs. To our left, the landscape beside our trail drops starkly away beneath a big blue sky, giving us a view that stretches north for miles and miles over the Sussex Weald. It’s stunning.

A wonderful reminder to get out of the smoke and on your bike!
The ride was so
so
so
good!
The day was absolutely superb! The pace, the itinerary, the people, all top notch. And this was not an easy ride for Marmalade to manage, there were so many people riding, many travelling huge distances to get there. The guides kept the groups together, kept everyone chatting and made sure everyone had a good time.
Speaking of the guides, they are just very special people. I don’t want to gush too much, but they really are some super special people. The projects and things they do outside of Marmalade are quite inspiring.
All in all, this was one of the best rides I’ve ever done. If you normally ride on your own and are unsure about going on a group ride, then get yourself out with Marmalade. I can’t recommend it enough.
Finally, I’d like to thank Sean again for a great ride and to congratulate him on creating such an amazing company. There is a reason he’s been doing this for ten years!
The structure of the course was great- we were shown skills and then practised them under supervision in a fun way.
The bikes we hired were very sturdy and fun to ride! By the end we had gained confidence in our skills as mountain novice bikers and could go down various slopes. Great fun and would go again! Thank you
Sean skillfully guided and encouraged our novice group through a variety of trails, imparting his wealth of MTB knowledge along the way.
Brilliant day with many smiles and much laughter 😁 highly recommend
