Ready for a new year of adventures

Running up and down hills, cycling along country lanes, mountain biking on exhilarating off-road trails, taking a walk in the magnificent Highland scenery or climbing a mountain – we’ve covered it all in Active Outdoors this year.

We’ve also indulged in a spot of horse riding and island hopping for good measure, too. That’s on top of some pretty exciting overnight adventures, staying in remote youth hostels and even hidden bothies.

To round up 2017, we’re sharing some of our favourite photos from this year’s routes.

You can share yours with us by emailing activeoutdoors@spp-group.com or posting to Twitter mentioning @active_outdoors, via facebook.com/activeoutdoors or by post to Active Outdoors, New Century House, Stadium Road, Inverness, IV1 1FG.

That doesn’t mean we’re putting our feet up... not all winter, at least! The team will continue to explore the north of Scotland and beyond as we strive to bring you inspiring adventures and routes every week throughout 2018.

Happy New Year for Monday, and Slainte! See you out there.

John Davidson and the Active Outdoors team
