Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at bike57north@icloud.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

The idea of each Level is to help you pick a trip which provides an enjoyable experience but also offer challenge to enable you to develop skills to progress to the next Level.  The colour grades are related to the type of trail and likely difficulty.  For more details check out our Bikology section https://57north-adventures.co.uk/bikeology


Our Adventure Trips are aimed at youth riders between age 7 - 17.  Sometimes younger riders have loads of experience and sometimes older riders are just starting out so if you're not sure get in touch to discuss.


Our Adventure Trips are designed for regular mountain bikers, if you are new, we welcome you to join a Trail Day or book a coaching session first to build your riding skills and confidence as you progress to towards an Adventure Trip.


You don't need camping experience as we'll show you what to do.  We make it easy for first time campers and you'll come home with new camping skills and knowledge!  If its your first time away, we recommend booking one of the shorter trips first.


You'll need personal equipment such as sleeping bag, camping mat, and pillow.  We'll supply the equipment such as tents, cooking utensils etc, and show you how to use everything.


After booking we'll issue an extensive kit list with everything you'll need as well as kit advice.  An example of a typical kit list can be seen here: https://57north-adventures.co.uk/adventure-trip-kit


Visit our booking page to join one of our scheduled Adventure Trips.  Places are limited and close two weeks before the event so book as soon as you can!
