The ethos behind mtb-lakes

Project development

We understand that no two mountain bike trails are the same so no development programmes are either

We deliver an efficient diagnosis of each projects' requirements and build programmes individually designed to meet our clients' needs

No off the shelf or standard package, just tailored programmes suiting particular circumstances

No projects are free of constraints but we do not consider constraints to be limitations

We aim to work with the specific features of any project
social - economic - environmental

Our project development is not complete until we have created a harmonious multi-user environment

Conflict resolution and management is our forte

Trail design

We design trails that allow riders to have fun, push their limits - regardless of skill level or trail preference

Mountain biking is about challenging your skills
Being in the outdoors with your mates
It's the thrill of riding fast - the fun of teetering over a rock step - having a good workout
Reaching the summit and occasionally challenging yourself on the way back down

We believe recreational trails should be designed for a purpose, each aimed at a particular biking sector with route descriptions and a clear grading system used to inform riders

Standard colour coding of green, blue, red, and black refer to technical difficulty rather than route distance or remoteness

We adhere to IMBA-UK technical standards, building low maintenance high thrill sustainable trails supported by the infrastructure required for a great day out
