Castle Coombe is one of the UKs best tracks for bikers to experience riding a bike, as it was designed and intended to. With the UKs roads being too dangerous do ride a bike the way it should be, a track day experience is a must for our most qualified instructor Vince Hueston Junior.

Participating in a track day ensures Vince can experience motorcyclists at their best, without interuption from pedestrians, speed cameras, traffic lights and other daily obstables usual road users may experience. The track day started at 9am, and had 10 minute sessions every hours until 5pm, with a maximum of 12 bikes per session.

Below we have a picture of Vinces Suzuki GSXR 600 along with his wrapped HL Training Ford Transit van. We will have more pictures once they are released by the Castle Coombe photographer for purchasing.

We are getting extremely high demand at the moment for Telehandler training, so I am proactively booking courses which means we constantly have spaces available. Our next course where we have spaces available will be running week commencing 15th June, so if you are interested in booking on this course, please call the office to discuss booking and payment.

Telehandlers are machines that a widely used across the world, for industry or agricultural use. It is similar in look for a counterbalance forklift truck, but adopts a telescopic book as opposed to a mast. Our training is conducted using the forks of a telescopic forklift truck, however many attachments can be used for various purposes. Examples of such attachments include, forks, bucket, grab and much more.

Our training is fully accredited and recognised nationwide, in addition to this, all of our training courses are uploaded and approved to a central database of our accrediting bodies.

If you need telescopic training, please contact us as we are taking bookings.
