SU Watersports & Mountain Biking holidays 2024

14th - 20th July 2024

​

Water sports “This holiday focusses on the skills and experiences to be gained in dinghy sailing and paddlesports within the iconic environment of Glencoe and Loch Leven. With Royal Yachting Association or Scottish Canoe Association qualifications to work towards over five action packed days, we're working on skills in solo and group crafts, enjoy lunch on the beach and take our new skills into new adventures as we journey within the sea loch. And since you've got a wetsuit for the week, we wouldn't dream of denying you our legendary canyoning session either." 

 

Mountain Biking "Perfectly based for visits to a range of mountain biking locations, this holiday is for those already committed to Mountain Biking and eager to enjoy a very active time together. We'll have a great time at trail centres such as Nevi Range and Laggan Wolftrax as well as some cross-country routes nearer the centre.

Participants need to be confident on UK trail centre red graded trails and fit enough to spend 5 consecutive days riding for a minimum of 4 hours. They should also be looking to progress their bike handling skills to ride faster and safer and to tackle more technical features such as drops and jumps. This event is not for you if you’re wondering if you like mountain biking".

​

Cost includes all equipment hire. We join with the watersports campers to share accommodation, meals and our times exploring the Bible making for a great mix to the week.

​

Subject to approval from our instructors, participants can use their own bike and/or helmet, gloves, eye protection etc but the hire of all equipment is included in the holiday."

A great opportunity     Brilliant staff and activities

I loved how friendly the staff were and how fun the activities were

Our coaches Neil & John were fun and I would love to have them next time

Really happy with Neil’s mountain bike leadership & coaching with our group. Everything has been great!

Sailing instruction was very helpful and gave me lots of confidence to sail independently in the topper

SU Sail Cruising  3rd to 10th August 2024

​

"Come join us on board as we set off to sail the seven seas! (Or maybe just one)

On arrival on Saturday we will meet on the boats, get settled in and have a meal. We will go through a safety and sailing briefing before we set sail from the marina, either Saturday evening or Sunday morning.

Our exact route will be weather dependent but is likely to include discovering the west coast around the Isle of Mull, with additional options of the Small Isles or Treshnish Islands. This is a beautiful area of Scotland with excellent sailing.

There is an abundance of bird and sea life, with porpoises, dolphins, minke whales and even the chance of sighting a basking shark!

There will be a variety of over-night stops at anchor, on mooring buoys and alongside a harbour pontoon. For those who want to, there will be the opportunity to learn navigation and boat handling skills.

If you want the adventure of sailing to new areas each day, time to relax, to make new friends with an experience to remember and get some cool photos for Facebook then join us.

Sea you there!!!"
