About

Always ready to be your guide & looking forward to welcoming you!

Our guides

Our guides are British Cycling qualified Mountain Bike Leaders including all safeguarding and first aid requirements. All routes are pre-ridden for risk assessment purposes and to ensure that all our customers will remember their adventure for the right reasons.

Dave Jones

Dave started guiding his own family round the Highlands nearly 15 years ago on holidays.

Now living near Aviemore, he spends as much time as possible exploring the tracks and trails - riding old favourites and discovering new ones.

A keen bikepacker, he regularly tackles some of the longer multi-day routes including An Turas Mor, the Tour of the Cairngorms and the Moray Loop.

He is also trained by Cycling Scotland as a Bikeability Instructor for Schools and a Cycle Trainer for adults.

Megan Jones

Megan has been riding the trails of the Cairngorms since she was 10.

Now a seasoned mountain biker, she has also developed a love of nature from working within the conservation sector, including spending the summer of 2021 with the RSPB at Abernethy.

She hopes to weave this into ride guiding to share the value of connecting more deeply to nature.

In addition to Big Tree she operates Wild & Well - a platform to share promote nature connection, wellness and community, sharing imagery, experiences, and nature writing.
