Mountain Bike the Great Glen Way
Journeying via mountain bike along The Great Glen Way for your gold dofe qualifier is one of Scotland’s most rewarding mountain biking holidays. A geographical fault line forms the Great Glen Way splitting Scotland in two. Steeped in history and folklore tales this trail will uncover many of Scotland’s secrets. The journey starts in Fort William following the Caledonian Canal before entering the forests above open water of 3 Scottish Lochs; Lochy, Oich and Ness. You may even catch a glimpse of Nessie!
Cairngorm Circumnavigation by Mountain Bike

This fine mountain bike dofe gold qualifier route circumnavigates the majestic Cairngorms National Park. Bike through magnificent glens between peaks of over 4,000 feet with a good chance of spotting red deer & golden eagles.
