Mountain and MTB family
LAURA – CREAG – CARAGH – SCOTT MUIR
We are a proper outdoor family Snowboarding, Splitboarding, Skiing, Ice Climbing, Rock Climbing, Mountaineering and of course MAD, CRAZY Mountain bikers. We have been racing and exploring Bike Parks, Natural Trails and seeking out Big Mountain Adventures on wheels. Both Creag (GB Jersey) and Caragh Race National Downhill and are partnered with Canyon, IXS, Michelin, MucOff and Ride Concepts. Bringing them on as skilled riders we could see the need for a quality facility where we could go and focus on core skills with ease. None of the existing “Skills Areas” really do the job so “Put your money where your mouth is” literally! (rather than moan 🙂 With a Coaches eye! we did something about it and took Sender to the NEXT Level.
Sender Bike Park is a fully self-funded and developed FAMILY Business.
“The dream was to create the ultimate coaching arena where beginners and intermediate riders could focus on building confidence and practice core bike skills with ease and without pressure in a friendly and encouraging atmosphere”

Welcome to Performance Mountain Sports
I have been at the top of my sport pushing my own performance in the mountains for the last 32 yrs establishing, repeating the worlds hardest sport mixed climbs M13, competing in Ice Climbing World Cups / Championships and climbing new routes on peaks up to 7000m all over the world with the likes of Sir Chris Bonington. I climbed my first VII, 7 “Messiah” when I was 17. I have significant National Centre Performance Coaching Experience and TOP level qualifications. I was 19 when I made the first ascent of a Himalayan summit and the same year joined the Scottish Mountaineering Club. I was only 24 yrs old when I became an MIC (now WMCI) with the fastest start to finish pass (to date) of 1 year and 7 months. I owned my own climbing wall and have designed and built commercial climbing walls for the last 19 yrs all over the UK. I brought “Leashless” climbing to the UK, established the first Dry Tooling Competitions and started Scottish Youth Climbing and Bouldering Championships. I helped establish the Sports Development Committee of Mountaineering Scotland as an Exec Committee member. My Son and Daughter race at National Downhill Level and Creag has raced for GB as a Junior at the World Cup. I have an EXTREME breadth and depth of MTB and MTN experience I can share with you to make you better, faster!
Come and join me at my Bike Park or have and adventure on one of my MTB, Mountaineering or Climbing Courses 🙂
