    Safety information

    Mountain biking is a wonderful way to explore, but it’s not without risk. Keep safe by following these safety tips:

    Keep your bike in good working order. Carry essential tools and spares.

    Check that your lights are working and wear high-vis clothing.

    When cycling, wear a helmet.

    Know your navigation. Plan your route, carry a map, and compass or a GPS.

    Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return.

    Ride sensibly. Limit your speed and take your time.

    If you’re new to the area, start with a short trip, preferably on an official trail.

    Ride within your skill level. Consider your fitness levels, the terrain, weather forecast, etc.

    Don’t forget your mobile phone and a charged power bank.

    Pack a basic first aid and survival kit.

    Pack for all weathers. This is Scotland. Pack waterproofs and sun cream.

    Equipment

    For a short trip on a planned route, you will need a mountain bike, a helmet, high-visibility clothing, a map and compass/GPS, and plenty of water. For a longer trip, it would be useful to have a basic bicycle repair and first aid kit, sun cream, and a waterproof jacket (for the unpredictable Scottish weather!), insect repellent, and plenty to eat and drink. Always carry cash as cards may not be accepted in remote places.
