The Overland Guide Association (OGA)
The OA is a professional body which promotes the competency of Off Road Guides for their work across the UK and Internationally.
Their training courses are focused on client care, safe and responsible riding, navigation and group management, with a HUGE input on practical First Aid. As a rider safety organisation, the OGA is leading the field in responsible training and their ranks are swelling year on year.
Ashley is a L2 Guide with FREC 3 First Aid experience, and assists on OGA events and training courses. He intends to expand his off road capabilities with the International Guide L3, and Frec 4 delivered by the OGA later this year
If you are keen on developing your off road guiding skills, with a variety of excellent learning opportunities, the OGA is a great organisation to get involved with. More information about the OGA here

Trail Riders Fellowship (TRF)
The TRF are one of the oldest and most established off road riding groups still active in the UK. They run a green lane map, which is becoming the definitive map of Bridleways Open to All Traffic (BOATS), Green lanes, and TROs - the Traffic Restriction Orders which have removed so many old and legacy byways across the UK.
Ashley is a TRF Member in Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales, and is regularly out pottering with friends in all seasons, helping to maintain the access and condition of the lanes that we have left.
If you are keen on developing your skills in a club environment, with a variety of social and learning opportunities, the TRF is a great organisation to get involved with. More information about the TRF here
