Torrid Affair™
"…close your eyes, imagine Tolkein; add mountain bikes and you’re getting close to the landscapes and terrain you will savour on the Torrid Affair™ tour!"
The Trip
“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.” [Danny Milner, MBR Magazine, Summer 2010]
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. Take a look at our trip gallery to see what we mean! And don't just take our word for it – MBR Magazine voted it 'Trail of the Year 2011' after spending a week with us cherry picking the best riding in the area!
Every sense, every muscle, every skill in your mountain biking armoury will be challenged and rewarded in equal measure as we ride in a landscape where dinosaurs wouldn’t look out of place – a truly must ride destination!
And as if the opportunity to ride in this remote corner of Scotland wasn't reward enough in itself, for our longer trips Skye's the Limit™ - where we load up and hop over the sea to the Isle of Skye to take on the might of the rugged Cuillins.
