The trails we use take you into remote upland areas. Good levels of fitness, a well maintained bike, effective navigation skills, good judgement and fair weather will ensure you have a safe and enjoyable ride. But not all of these factors can be guaranteed.

So it makes sense to have a backup plan. And that’s where Mountain Rescue Teams come in handy. They are highly skilled volunteers backed by quality equipment that can get an injured rider off the hills and receiving treatment before its too late.

The YRT events will donate 10% of proceeds to three teams.

“Water, that strong white stuff, can here be seen at its origins. It wells from the rock, and flows away. For unnumbered years it has welled from the rock and flowed away. It does nothing, absolutely nothing, but be itself.”

Nan Shepherd

The Living Mountain (1977)
