Red Trail Biking - GC3MBR

Mountain Biking
14 - 20 Jul, Glencoe , S1 - S6, £505.00
Accompanied travel: Glasgow

The Glencoe Outdoor Centre is well situated in Lochaber for visits to a range of top mountain biking locations.

This Red Mountain Biking Holiday is for those who are committed to regular Mountain Biking and already confident on UK Trail Centre red* graded trails; i.e. you could name some of the red trails that you ride when you visit these centres. Red Graded trails are described as “Difficult” on the Route Card for Laggan Wolftrax (one of the centres we’ll visit) and you can expect “a mixture of steep climbs, descents and / or avoidable features, larger jumps, berms and rollable features at controlled speed. Technical features such as tree roots, drop-offs, large rocks and very variable surfaces.”

You’ll also need to be fit enough to spend 5 consecutive days riding for a minimum of 4 hours. You should also be looking to progress your bike handling skills to ride faster and safer and to tackle more technical features such as drops and jumps.

The two mountain biking holidays will normally share the same travel and locations allowing the option for instructors to move participants between groups for safety or skill progression.

Cost includes all equipment hire.

We join with the watersports campers and other mountain bikers to share accommodation, meals and our times exploring the Bible making for a great mix to the week.

 

Your team leader for this holiday is Gordon Roy.

What's the location like?

Don't expect a day in town or at the shops - there's far too much on offer at Glencoe to give in to such tame distractions!

What's outside?

Set amongst the spectacular loch and mountain scenery of Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands, the centre is in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Surrounded by fabulous terrain for adventure activities on the doorstep, there's a broad range of outdoor pursuits on both land and water available.

What's inside?

The Glencoe Outdoor Centre is based in a small converted country house, offering accommodation for up to 35 in comfortable bunk-bedded rooms. Built over 100 years ago the house has retained much of its character, which helps to maintain the atmosphere of an extended family home. 

There's a log fire, a games room, a comfortable lounge and a large drying room, and that's just for starters.

Where is it?

Right next to Loch Leven, in the village of Glencoe.
