Mountain Biking
Mountain Biking is often associated with freedom, adventure, discovery, and exercise and promotes an opportunity to explore local and national wilderness environments.
Group leaders should always foster a high regard for the environment and other users and inhabitants and encourage in others an understanding of the problems of conservation, access and erosion. The scheme includes consideration for all of these aspects, which are vital if the ethics and traditions of the outdoors are to continue.
