EasiGlide Bude Segway Experience

Description

Picture yourself gliding effortlessly across stunning Cornish landscapes while mastering the art of riding a Segway! The EasiGlide Bude Segway Experience offers an exhilarating adventure that’ll have you grinning from ear to ear. I recently tried this myself and let me tell you – it’s way more fun than I expected! You’ll start with a thorough training session (trust me, even the most uncoordinated folks catch on pretty quick), then head out to explore beautiful countryside paths and scenic routes around Bude.

What really makes this experience special is how the instructors create such a laid-back, friendly atmosphere. They’ve got this perfect balance of keeping everyone safe while ensuring maximum enjoyment. And y’know what? It’s actually quite addictive once you get the hang of it!

Best Time to Visit

While the EasiGlide experience runs year-round, I’d say the sweet spot is between May and September when the weather’s more reliable. But honestly? Even those moody autumn days can be absolutely magical – just bring a light raincoat! The morning sessions tend to be quieter, and you’ll catch that gorgeous morning light for photos.

Summer weekends get pretty packed (especially during school holidays), so I’d definitely recommend booking ahead. Pro tip: those golden hour sessions just before sunset are absolutely incredible for photos, especially during summer months.

How to Get There

Getting to the EasiGlide experience is pretty straightforward if you’re staying in or around Bude. You’ll want your own wheels though – public transport isn’t the most reliable option in this neck of the woods. If you’re coming from further afield, the A39 Atlantic Highway is your best bet. Just make sure to arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled time – nobody likes feeling rushed before an adventure!

Tips for Visiting

Okay, here’s the real talk from someone who’s been there – wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes. Those flip-flops might look cute, but trust me, they’re not gonna cut it! Loose, comfortable clothing is your best friend here, and don’t forget to layer up because Cornwall’s weather can be proper unpredictable.

Bring a small backpack with water and maybe a snack, especially for longer sessions. And while the guides take some great photos, your phone’s welcome too – just make sure it’s secured in a zip pocket. Oh, and if you’re worried about balance (I totally was), don’t be! The training session is super thorough, and you’ll be surprised how quickly you pick it up.

Speaking from experience, booking in advance is crucial, especially during peak season. And yeah, while it might seem a bit pricey at first glance, it’s genuinely worth every penny for the unique experience and memories you’ll make. I still catch myself grinning when I think about nearly toppling over trying to take that perfect selfie (spoiler alert: the guides show you how to do it properly!).

Last but not least, don’t forget to ask your guide about local spots to grab a bite after – they know all the hidden gems, and you’ll definitely work up an appetite! The whole experience is pretty much guaranteed to be a highlight of your Cornwall trip – it certainly was for me!

Remember to check the weather forecast before you go, but don’t let a little drizzle put you off – sometimes those cloudy days make for the most memorable adventures. Just embrace your inner explorer and get ready for an absolutely brilliant time!
