Yamaha Off-road Experience

Professional off road motorcycle schools, coaching and fun days out in the beautiful Mid Wales countryside. Riders with their own bikes and equipment are catered for, but beginners or newcomers can also be supplied with bikes and all the necessary kit.

The Yamaha Offroad Experience in Wales is based near Llanidloes in Mid Wales. Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and Cardiff airports are all approximately 100 miles from the base, which sits 5 miles outside Llanidloes, just off the main A470 road. The site has its own 600 acre farm, which backs onto the magnificent ten thousand acre Hafren Forest and Sweet Lamb motorsport complex, together making up the riding areas.

The Yamaha Offroad Experience, as it's now known, was formerly known as the Geraint Jones Enduro School. Geraint, a former multiple British Enduro Champion and legend of the sport, started running enduro training schools back in the mid 80s, becoming the Yamaha Offroad Experience in 1994 when Yamaha came on board, and they've been involved to this day.

The aim is to offer something for everyone, from the complete novice who wishes to experience what off road riding is all about, to top level national enduro riders wanting help to improve their skills and take them to the next level. There's a variety of terrain, from farmland and open hill to the Hafren Forest, where most of the riding takes place. This is enduro heaven, and has staged British, European and World Enduro Championship events over the past 10 years, with everything you'd expect from a Welsh forest: rocky tracks, tricky ascents and descents, bogs, ruts and easy gravel paths and fire roads.
