At Notgrove, The Twister stitches a short, sharp quad-biking experience from two very different ingredients: stretches of the adult-focused ‘The Thrill’ route and repeated laps on the compact ‘Twister’ track that youngsters favour. Operated by QuadQuest Ltd., the session is presented as a family offering aimed at riders who can handle an adult quad—making strength and basic riding competence the determining factors for participation.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

A blend of ‘The Thrill’ and the Twister track

The itinerary combines parts of the adult ‘The Thrill’ route with several laps on the Twister track, delivering a contrast between faster, more demanding sections and tighter, repeatable laps youngsters enjoy.

THE AUDIENCE

Designed around family groups with capable teens

The experience is pitched at families riding with teenagers who are tall and strong enough to manage an adult quad—emphasis is on physical ability rather than strict age alone.

THE PACE

Short, focused bursts of riding

At roughly an hour and a half, the session is compact and concentrated: training, on-track laps and route sections are compressed into a single, activity-dense outing.

What the day feels like

What the session feels like

Expect an energetic, family-centred session that alternates between adult-oriented sections of ‘The Thrill’ and repeated circuits of the Twister track—designed so younger riders can enjoy frequent laps while adults tackle more demanding stretches. The flow is brisk: a safety briefing and training check, followed by the combined-route riding that gives equal weight to excitement and instructor-led oversight.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this outing suits—and who should think twice.

1
Active families with teenagersGood fit for families travelling with teenagers who meet the physical requirements to manage an adult quad—this format lets groups mix adult route sections with kid-friendly laps.
2
Physically capable teensWell suited to taller, stronger teens who can control an adult quad; final suitability is determined during the instructor-led training check.
3
Younger or less experienced ridersMay not be ideal unless the rider demonstrates sufficient strength and control—some children younger than the recommended age have coped, but fitness and strength matter more than age.
4
Riders with limiting conditionsNot a match for anyone who is not mentally or physically able to operate a quad; instructors will assess and can withdraw participants for safety reasons.
