Are you looking for healthy, exciting, outdoor school holiday activities? The Head for the Hills School Holiday Mountain Bike Geocache Adventure is the perfect way to enjoy Adelaide's great outdoors! Learn new riding skills and put them to use while hunting for clues and geocaches around the Craigburn Farm trails in the Sturt Gorge Recreation Park. Then learn practical skills to keep your bike running well in a hands-on group bike maintenance workshop. We supply the bike and helmet, all you have to bring is a sense of adventure!
You never know where the clues will take you!
The mountain bike geocache adventure begins with a basic skills coaching session to teach participants the fundamental skills of mountain biking. We cover body position & moving on the bike, braking technique, gear selection as well as other handy tips to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
A great way to spend the holidays with mates
Once everybody is comfortable and settled on the bikes, the adventure begins! A series of geocaches containing cleverly constructed cryptic clues are hidden all over the Craigburn Farm trail network. Participants work as a team using good old maps (not google-maps!) to find and decipher each clue, which hints to the next geocaches secret location and the best trail to get there. Participants will cover over 12 kilometres of trail and climb around 300 vertical meters during their adventure.
After all the geocaches have been found, we will take a well-deserved break, learn some handy bicycle care tips in a hands-on bike maintenance workshop and enjoy more mountain biking activities!
