Ride on The Badger Divide, Great Glen Way & West Highland Way.
This trip will show you Scotland in all its rugged glory. You’ll ride iconic trails, including The Badger Divide, Great Glen Way, and West Highland Way. If you’ve heard of the epic Highland Trail 550, this adventure follows its Southern loop.
You will pedal through spectacular glens, past shimmering lochs, and beneath towering Munros (Scottish mountains over 3,000ft/914m). The scenery is breathtaking throughout. You will rest and recuperate in bothies and hostels, cook dinner on our camp stoves, and embrace the challenge and beauty of the wild Scottish landscape.
The majority of this route is on gravel tracks and trails, but there are also sections of loose terrain, single-track, and technical ascents and descents. Expect plenty of water bars—don’t worry if you can’t ride them at first, you will by the end! There will also be some inevitable hike-a-bike sections and a taste of classic Scottish bog.
