Itinerary


Aviemore is a year round destination with climbing, walking and cycling the main autumn draw. Badaguish Forest Lodges are our official partners and you will be staying in a magnificent 12-bed lodge, with exclusive use of the activity hall, and access to their dedicated sports arena and old bothy BBQ hut - a great place to cook marshmallows over an open fire.

Activities include quad-trekking, archery and go-karting on this adventure but we understand that you might just need some time out so you can swap an active session to simply take in the scenery of the Highlands - this is YOUR adventure!

Come join us in the stunning Cairngorms.

Day 1 - Friday

Your highland adventure begins.

Meet TeamEdge in Musselburgh, load up the buses and head off to your Aviemore Lodge.

All that’s left to do today is settle in, get to know your fellow adventurers, grab some dinner and get ready for the exciting weekend of adventures ahead.

Day 2 - Saturday

There are a number of local crags, ranging from sea cliffs to road side crags. If the weather makes the outdoor venues unsafe we can switch to an indoor venue.
There are specialist climbing harnesses, hoists and aids to ensure it is for all abilities.

Join us for an inspiring outdoor adventure. Our quad bike treks follow a network of tracks and off-road trails through the magnificent ancient pine woodland and across the heather moorland of this traditional Highland estate with spectacular views of the surrounding mountain landscape. There might even be the odd water obstacle to navigate, watch your feet don't get wet!

&

Archery

Let's shoot some arrows! It doesn't matter if you've never picked up a bow and arrow before or if you're a seasoned pro at hitting the target, you'll have a HEAP of fun. Who will hit the target, how many bullseyes will you get? The main thing is to beat our Outdoor Activity Leaders, Gareth & Jamie!

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

Load the buses and head home after breakfast, we'll be back in the Lothians around lunchtime.
