[piper]

does anyone know if there is anywhere that you can do mountain bike leader courses preferably in the wicklow area. to trail leader or technical terrain leader standard

[Fergal]

pretty sure there's no official qualification whatsoever for MTB in this country, a good knowledge of the terrain in terms of technicality, difficulty of terrain in terms of fitness etc.. whether it's prone to use by walkers/horses etc..., an advanced knowledge of bike mechanics, first aid skills and supplies will certainly help you on your way.
