On this four day ‘mini-safari’ of Scotland’s big mountain riding, we’ll enjoy epic rides around Scotland’s World Cup epicentre - the infamous Mamore mountains and the trails of Kinlochleven, before taking to the high seas in search of hidden trail gems! And if you’re already up in Fort William enjoying the World Cup, could there really be a better way to extend your trip?

Kinlochleven and the surrounding mountains are home to some of the most rewarding back country and enduro mountain biking in Scotland – and in the same way that good things often come to those who wait, the big downs and wide smiles come only after you’ve scaled the heights of Kinlochleven.

The riding around Kinochleven divides opinion: some love it, some hate it. Why? Because the descents are tough enough to make the fainthearted wince. Yes, the riding falls squarely into the more demanding end of the spectrum but if you can handle big mountain ascents and the occasional sustained hike-a-bike knowing you will earn the country’s most exciting technical enduro-style descents, the World Cup Safari is a trip that will leave you with a story to share forever.

With sea level as your starting point…you know what’s coming next…our adventure begins with a challenging climb to gain some incredible views deep into the Mamore mountain range and out to sea. In this landscape of giants we’re nothing but insignificant dots, and if your idea of the perfect mountain biking adventure involves forgetting the daily grind and getting lost in the most immersive riding experience ever, then you’re in the right place.

And we mix things up with a mini-adventure WITHIN the BIG adventure: we hop on a private boat to access Scotland’s remotest ride, and spend a night on Scotland’s last great wilderness – The Rough Bounds. We may even strike out for the Isle of Skye in search of singletrack and whisky beneath the shadows of the Cuillins!

We’ve taken one of our most popular ‘Dirty Weekends’ and made it even more desirable! Not just two days riding the epic landscapes of Torridon but we’ve added an extra day so you can savour some of the sweet hidden singletrack on the Isle of Skye too!

We’ve been exploring this area for 10+ years, and it might sound clichéd but no matter how often we ride in this remote corner of Scotland the sheer scale of the mountains and the beckoning quality of the trails never fail to captivate as we unload the bikes and take our first tentative pedal strokes deep into this magical wilderness.

Danny Milner of MBR Magazine was smitten after the very first pedal stroke into the glens:

“A torrid affair: The hills around Torridon in the Scottish Highlands are beautiful enough to inspire a holiday romance, with GO-WHERE as our trusty chaperone.”

They voted it ‘Trail of the Year 2011′ after spending a week with us cherry picking the best riding in the area, so come find out what made them so misty eyed!

The North West Highlands of Scotland are a truly must ride destination – technically challenging, massively rewarding and a truly magical setting!

• Type of riding: All-mountain to All-mountain+ (see our FAQ for more insights)
• Technical ability level: Intermediate to Advanced (you see yourself as a ‘mountain biker’)
• Fitness: you’ll be easy about riding four+ hours a day on at least two consecutive days (by the time you join this trip)
• How Challenging? Fairly, but the biggest rewards are rarely won for ‘easy’.

Book with us and we’ll sort out your accommodation, provide all transfers, shuttles and guiding too. Here’s exactly what you can expect from this extra special ‘dirty weekend’ away:

• Friday pick up with flexible return transport for riders, bikes and gear and return on Monday evening (e.g. pick-up can be arranged en-route to the Highlands from the Tweed Valley, Edinburgh, Perth, Aviemore or Inverness)
• Two phenomenal rides in the Torridon mountains
• A trip over to the Isle of Skye to sample some sweet coastal singletrack
• Three nights accommodation in high quality comfortable hostels on a self-catering (or upgrade to a B&B/Hotel) basis
• Private transportation throughout the trip
• Ferry tickets
• Mechanical assistance
• Three days professional guiding
