Our mountain biking correspondent Paul Lewis began riding the trails of the The Peak District over 20 years ago. Paul believes there is no better training ground in the world and we’re sure he’s right – since those early days he’s cycled everywhere from the deserts of Jordan to the mountains of New Zealand.

Paul is a fully qualified mountain biking instructor and the owner of local mountain adventure and training specialists Peak Mountaineering. In addition to his mountain biking qualifications Paul is a qualified kayaking, mountaineering and orienteering instructor, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS) and an Accredited Practitioner of the Institute of Outdoor Learning (APIOL).
