Well Weymouth to be more precise. I'm heading down there for easter weekend and would like to get a ride in if possible. I'm camping in Fleet i think so does anyone know of any riding schools near there?
I wanted to ride ont he beach really, but understand that its not possible to at this time of year

I was told of a place called Studlands? apparently they have a beach to ride on....but cant find a number for them.

Isn't Studland Beach the nudist beach?

 

[jenbleep]

yes i live in bournemouth and my brother goes kayaking around studland beach........he turned a corner past a headland and there was loads of naked people! tee hee xxxxx

 

[ciderminx]

haha! how funny....she def said that 'studlands' had a trekking center and a beach they use! HAHA OMG!

DD - I'm interest to know how you know its a nudist beach eh???

Ring the National Trust if you want to ride on Studland beach. Yes it is a well know nudy beach!!

I'm not that keen on riding on a nudey beach! i just want anywhere to ride at the w/end for an hour or two while my mates go climbing.

There was a TV show on it - I think it was called the Beach ???? was all about the conflict between the NT, Nudists, Locals and horse riders

Ive ridden on it a fair few times in the winter - you dont really see many of them TBH. Is a lovely beach though. And they're only allowed on a little section of it - they tend to hide in the dunes!

ahhhhhh ok! I missed that one. Looking at peoples wobbly bits wasn't high on my list of priorities for this weekend, just incase people were wondering. haha!

anyway, we're getting away from the point a bit...does anyone know where i can go riding for a couple of hours this weekend near weymouth?

hello! i'm actually living in weymouth at the mo and as of yesterday we are no longer allowed to ride on the beach between 9am and 7pm. there are a few local riding schools (wont post my opinions on here pm me if you like) but none go down to ride on the beach here (pity, as it is great for riding!)

you can ride on studland and it is another great beach for riding, although the prices reflect what a lovely place it is!!!

hope this helps, feel free to question me further!
