School Groups

The Purple Mountain provides students with the opportunity to meet the challenge of the great outdoors. Dalby Forest on the North York Moors is an excellent area for outdoor education, exploring it by mountain bike gives a real sense of adventure. Miles of moorland tracks allow students to experience the excitement of hurtling down a rocky decent, adrenalin flowing, or just to potter along and enjoy the rugged moorland scenery, green dales or spectacular coastline. Mountain biking in this isolated area of open countryside provides a challenging activity suitable for all students. Riding in a group encourages co-operation and a team spirit boosts confidence. Freedom, excitement, and achievement are just some of the elements students can experience with Purple Mountain.

Purple Mountain Biking Adventures can plan your activities to fit in with National Curriculum and GCSE and GNVQ programmes. We can also accommodate for those following JSLA, CSLA and D of E courses, as our instructors are qualified P.E. teachers. We also provide the OTC Right Track and Wheelie awards.

Accommodation

In order to ensure the very best value for schools, we provide accommodation in Bunk Barns. Situated on a working farm in the area, a former byre provides dormitory accommodation. There are good cooking facilities, shower toilet and wash basin. You can choose whether to cater for your own group, or have meals provided. Bunk barns are dry, warm, practical and great fun.
