The Club owns a Personal Locator Beacon or PLB. If you are organising your own mountain bike trip in the back country, you may borrow it.

Conditions; free to borrow, but only for club members and must be booked in advance so we can ensure there still one for club trips. You have to pick it up from whoever currently has it. If you break/loose/don’t return it, you pay for it!

Email the club to book via canterburymountainbikeclub@gmail.com

A Personal Locator Beacon is essential for travel in places where there’s no phone reception.
If set off, it will send your location to emergency services for a rescue.
