Stop reading and go now
The first of many trips to BPW, made the trip from the middle of England and would happily do it again. Even in the worst weather possible, a broken bike and rider by the end, it was an amazing day.
Now stop reading reviews and go, you will not regret it!
What do you like?
Amazing trails, great variation and a full range from very simple green trail all the way through the what look like incredibly technical pro-lines. Great uplift service, every time we got to the bottom of a trail the uplift was waiting to take us back up again, this all mean a truly unrelenting day of riding. The drivers are fantastic too and have a great sense of humour. The shop and cafe was also perfect for a decent meal and plenty of spare parts if you need them.
What could be improved?
None, the shop and cafe could do with being a little bigger and can see them getting very busy in the sun.

BPW
Best place in the UK to spend on your bike :)
What do you like?
A place that never fails to put a huge smile on my face, the uplift service is flawless and I've never found myself waiting for any great amount of time to jump in the van.
Cafe is warm and caters well for riders. We will be coming back :)
What could be improved?
It's the best place to ride in the UK so it's a lot of hours in the car to keep coming back!

Well worth a visit
Go and have a great day
What do you like?
New to bike and trail centres I was unsure about the vist. The whole entire experience was fantastic. So easy to book in. The uplift is amazing I didn't have to wait long the bikes are easy to load and safe. I only rode blue trails and there are perfect. You can progress from rolling down to after a few runs start to take it a little faster and start to get some air. By my second vist my confidence grew and grew and this is down to the design of the trails.
What could be improved?
Non other that it's a long trip from Bournemouth. But I have to say a trip worth while
Would you recommend?
Yes

^HEINZY :
Superb setup, friendly staff, great well maintained trails and excellent tuition.
We'll be returning.....again and again!
What do you like?
Having ridden far too many road miles we couldn't resist the lure of mountain biking. 2 great trips to BPW and another booked. The staff have a great attitude and go the extra mile to help where they can. Efficient up-lift with smiley drivers! Had two 2:1 coaching sessions with resident coach Griff. Having a coaching background myself I thought he was excellent. Video analysis, super positive, huge knowledge and fun.
Mark in the shop sorted a suspension issue there and then so we didn't loose any time on the trails.
Really can't say enough good things about the place.
Worth the monthly drive up from the Isle of Wight.
