A world class cycling
facility nestled in the foothills of Ben Nevis, the
 Witch's
Trail has to be ridden to be believed! "2.5 hours of lung
busting hell" was the description used by the World Cup Team
BUT not necessarily - the Trail covers forest roads,
boardwalk sections and single track with optional special
sections for those wanting that extra buzz! Likewise, for
the beginner, much of the route can be done at a slower pace
and difficult sections can be missed out. This is a trail
that can be ridden within your own abilities. |

Have a bicycle, it helps!.
Always wear a cycle helmet.
Ride with a smile, not a bashed in face ..!
Expect the unexpected because it'll never happen ...!
properly ....?
Give way to walkers/ horses & be friendly towards other
forest users, especially sheep.
Never ride whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
porno's ... Boring..!
Always have enough money with you. 'Duh', to buy
Bicyclemania trailfinders a pint.
Footpaths are for walkers only, ..... "
you know what we mean "
Ride flat-out & attack every hill, it could be your last
ride, ever .. ever ... ever!.
Please do not drop litter or fag butts, stuff'em down your
shorts.
DANGER ! Keep away from all forest operations like, S.A.S.
special training op's.
...'Only teasing' .... |

bottom
of some of Scotland's highest mountains. At the bottom is a
ski station, there are 40 km of way-marked cross country
trails, all signposted around the forest. This includes a
cross country course that has been used in the past as a
venue for the National Points Series. A brand new custom
built 13 km single-track section is used as the backbone to
most routes. October 2000 saw the opening of a brand new
downhill course. Forty cable cars have been converted which
will be able to ferry over 250 bikes an hour to the
top. The downhill course is a 2000 ft / 3 km decent, which
is as close to World cup standard as you are likely to get
in the U.K.
