What to Expect

Sessions begin with a warm welcome and full safety briefing, where participants are kitted out with helmets, gloves, and protective overalls. The instructor will demonstrate how to operate the quad bikes before taking everyone to the training area. Kids will ride 70cc Polaris quads, while adults are matched with 110cc Polaris or 250cc Honda bikes, ensuring the right bike for each rider.

Once everyone is confident, the session moves onto farmland trails and a dedicated training area. The instructor leads the group, tailoring the route to conditions and abilities. Kids enjoy half an hour in the saddle, while adults ride alongside, creating a memorable shared experience. Sessions run all year, with adjustments to the trail in wet or wintery weather to keep riding safe and fun.

Location

The quad biking site sits on the edge of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park, offering a fantastic setting for outdoor activities. The trails wind through farmland and newly planted woodland, with routes carefully designed to minimise environmental impact. This is possibly Scotland’s only carbon negative quad biking provider, with tree planting ensuring the activity absorbs more CO₂ than it produces.

Easily accessible from across Central Scotland, the site is less than an hour from Glasgow, around 30 minutes from Stirling, and just over an hour from Edinburgh. Its location makes it a convenient option for a family day out while still feeling like a proper countryside escape.
