Spring Programme - Cycling at Delamere Forest
January 2012 - April 2012
Give Cycling a try at Delamere Forest
The Forestry Commission and the CTC are keen to encourage cycling within Delamere Forest. To encourage more people to get cycling in the forest we have developed a programme of cycling activities starting in January 2012. This cycling programme’s aim is to encourage individuals that want to improve their physical fitness and cycling skills and families who want to take part in exciting cycling activities in the forest. There are three activity themes within the programme, HealthCycle, School Holiday Cycling Activities and Seasonal Rides. To find out more about each of these themes and for more information about TRACS Cycle Hire activities read on.
