Originally from mid-Wales, I spent most of my teenage years exploring the local crags, trails and rivers in search of new adventures. I have lived in the highlands for 6 years now and I love exploring new remote regions of this beautiful country.
I am lucky enough to call Aviemore home with my young family where I enjoy spending long days on the bike looking for singletrack gold.
Torridon was one of the first places I visited before moving up to Scotland, and the scenery just blew me away. I think for this reason it has a special place in my heart.
I use to be fluent in Welsh, sadly I don’t get to use it much in Scotland so my vocabulary is rapidly decreasing.
Dan and Tom were great. They listened to us and matched the rides to our abilities. They were friendly and supportive. They were great company as well. Dan is very knowledgeable about the route and the different stages. I learned a lot about STP from him :-)
Tom is a great couch on the bike. Gave me great advice for future riding. Thank you guys!

They went above and beyond to secure an e-bike for me on Islay.

Sometimes it's nice to get family and friends together and travel privately for some quality time. This means you benefit from all the features of the group departure, including hand-picked accommodation and expert local guides and we'll take care of it all. Then you can make your choice of departures dates and we'll get back to you to finalise the details.
We work together with our team of guides to decide which departures they lead each year. As part of that, guides provide available dates that they are free to be booked. This means that any of the dates you see in the first field of the form below, could be perfect for your private departure or customised tour.
