Forest Freeride Bunkhouse
The bunkhouse is reserved exclusively for riders participating in our activities.

You can stay in our compact, comfortable bunkhouse the night before you ride with us (and obviously the night inbetween a two day course). This means you'll be fresh and ready to start your riding, stress-free. We ask for a £10 donation per person, per night in support of Wales Air Ambulance, payable at the time of booking. We hope you'll agree that as mountain bikers, helicopter rescue can be a necessity. They are all run on charity and as the government do not support the service, we, the public have to.

Facilities include:
• Toilet and wash basin.
• Shower room.
• Seating area with log burner.
• Food preparation area with microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster, crockery and plates etc.
• Tea, coffee, sugar and milk provided.
• Separate sleeping loft with campbeds.
• Please bring your own sleeping bag/bedding.

Don't forget to bring supplies as the local shop closes early (well, we are out in the sticks)! The nearest for eating out is the Wynnstay Arms in Llanbrynmair 3.5 miles away. Llanidloes (13.5 miles) and Machynlleth (15.5 miles) have a choice of eating establishments, take-aways, Spar and Co-op supermarkets.
