TOUR SUMMARY

Our Coast to Coast MTB route is still our top mountain bike tour over the last 35+ years. It features a week of incredible riding from the rugged mountains of Lochaber on the West Coast to the magnificent cliffs on the East coast near Stonehaven.

Why choose The Scotland Coast to Coast MTB Route Pioneered by Wildcat Adventures?

• Wildcat Adventures was the first tour operator to offer Mountain Bike Tours in Scotland! It does not get any more pioneering than this!
   
• John Fulton, Director and Guide, pioneered The Scotland Coast to Coast MTB route back in 1985 and it was featured on the BBC & STV holiday programmes in 1989
   
• Our Coast to Coast MTB route is the original - ridden West to East to take in some of the great climbs and amazing descents (most of which are best ridden in this direction) - it takes advantage of the prevailing westerly winds – we ride from the Atlantic Coast to the North Sea Coast. It is truly a coast to coast ride across the breadth of mainland Scotland!
   
• Our original route is longer than any other Coast to Coast route in Scotland - our route follows some of the ancient highland trade routes, over remote mountain passes, and in some remote areas on tracks originally built by John Fulton when he first pioneered the route! 
   
• Our extensive knowledge and experience of Scotland's Highland tracks enables us to follow the natural lines of the glens and mountain passes eliminating the necessity to take boat trips. 
   
• All our accommodation is in Highland Hotels and Guest Houses. 
   
• John & Brigitte are your guides - they are both qualified and highly experienced Mountain Bike Leaders - between them they have over 50 years of experience leading groups in remote mountainous areas. John is a retired Mountain Bike Tutor and contributed to the syllabus for the Mountain Bike Leaders Award (MBLA) used today by the British Cycling Union (BCF) & Scottish Cycling. Brigitte was the first female to qualify as a Mountain Bike Leader under the then Scottish Mountain Bike Leaders Award (SMBLA) scheme. 
   
• John & Brigitte have unparalleled knowledge of the trails throughout Scotland. They have ridden all the alternatives and continue to scout out new routes to give you the best riding, and great scenery. John & Brigitte are professionals and are happy to impart their knowledge of Scotland and help you develop your mountain & riding skills.
   
• Our experience as Mountain Bike Leaders is not limited to the Highlands of Scotland - John & Brigitte have pioneered and led many mountain bike tours and continue to lead tours in the remote mountains of Morocco and Mongolia. They are very experienced cyclists & mountaineers and are trained and experienced in dealing with any situation which may arise - personal attention, attention to detail, and safety enables us to provide you with an unforgettable mountain bike experience.
