Date: Sun 20 Sep, 2026 - Thu 24 Sep, 2026
Venue: Aviemore
Following the success of theScotland Gravel Camps, SITW are joining forces once again with local adventurer Annie Lloyd Evans to design a truly wild bikepacking adventure in the gorgeous Cairngorms National Park.
Starting in well-connected Aviemore, we’ll spend an evening getting ready for our trip together ensuring we have everything we need on our bikes for four days of bikepacking. Led by a SITW guide with in depth local knowledge, expect wild camping, loch swims, secret bothies, and secluded lakeshore hostels, we’ll ride what might just be one of the finest gravel routes in the UK.
No prior bikepacking experience is needed - we can loan all the camping and bikepacking gear you need, and bike hire is available locally. You just need to be up for days of around 60km of fully loaded off-road riding, have a decent amount of off-road riding experience under your belt, and a thirst to get out into the wild.
