Guests of rideawaybikepacking are people who are already experienced cyclists who would like to try bikepakcing for the first time, or those who are reasonably active and want to try out a new activity in a way that is sensitive to and supportive of local communities.  

They will all be people from all over the UK, Europe or worldwide who value the importance of buying from local suppliers and respect the environment by adopting a leavenotrace philosophy.  Where possible they travel here using public transport and bring their own bikes too.

Grantown on Spey is a small town by the River Spey at the edge of the forests and mountains of The Cairngorm National Park. From here we ride on a variety of simple tracks and trails of low technical difficulty beside the river, farmland, woodland and open moors. Open spaces on the ride are a major theme with views of the distant mountains, sometimes the sea and woodland. 


Jim created rideawaybikepacking because he is passionate about bikepacking, appreciates the value of supporting local communities and businesses as well as providing all guests, without regard to race, gender or sexual orientation or nationality a unique all inclusive experience of guided bikepacking.
