Introduction to Bikepacking

Learn from the experts in our home Glen.

Bikepacking combines two of our greatest passions—cycling and camping—into the ultimate outdoor adventure. It’s a simple and adventurous way to explore the outdoors. For us, it’s all about the freedom to travel at your own pace and connect with nature along the way.

BUT! Have you ever wondered what all the fuss is about? Intrigued by this relatively new thing, but don’t know where to start? Desperate to have a go, but would just like someone to show you the way?

Look no further. This overnight trip is for you. We will take you from bikepacking newbie to your first overnight bikepacking trip.

The aim of this trip is not to travel the fastest nor the furthest, it is about learning, enjoyment and stunning views. There is no better way to connect to nature than sleeping outside.

Don't worry if you have never done anything like this before. Our guides will be there to help you every step of the way and ensure you have an unforgettable experience.

You should be comfortable riding your bike for 2 hrs at a steady pace for two days in a row on hilly terrain. This trip requires you to have some off-road riding experience.
Expect land rover tracks, wide grassy paths and some easy single track. The area surrounding Comrie Croft is hilly, however, it is perfectly OK to take your bike for a walk up these.
This is Scotland. You are highly likely to get wet, to experience wind and there may be snow. Equally it could be absolutely glorious. This is all part of the adventure, you just need to be prepared and keep our sense of humour. No matter what the weather throws at you, there is a warm cosy hostel waiting at the end of the day for you.
*In the event of extreme weather where there is a danger to life the trip can be rearranged.*
