Southern Upland Trek
At Trailbrakes we've pioneered this challenging coast to coast mountain biking adventure across one of the widest points of Scotland. Without a doubt this is our favourite trip to run and is by no means a trip for the faint hearted! The journey starts at Portpatrick on the west coast and ends at Berwick upon Tweed, by the north sea, almost 250 miles away! It follows a stunning route that we reckon is the biking equivalent of cycling the Southern Upland Way. This trip is unique to Trailbrakes and is a real once in a lifetime experience.
