Anyone done the Moray Way trail in Scotland? It's a 95 mile circular trail which me and a mate have our eye on for a bike/bivvi weekend away. Would be interested to know if anyone has done it and what's it like?
Or recommend a good alterative 🙂

Not got it to hand for a scan sorry.
This is local to me. The trails are not demanding at all in technicality, mostly disused railway lines. I think they did it on Cross bikes or tourers with knobblyish tyres.
It would be alright for a camping trip so long as you're not thinking of it as a full on mountainbike ride. There are more wild and technical longer routes in Scotland, but depends what you're after. The scenery is ok, nothing startling unless you're from Norfolk or something, again, more spectacular places to ride not that far away IMO. Nice mix of upland and seaside, if that's what you're into 🙂
The Moray Way is a lazy tick in the box for those that are supposed to be promoting cycling and is basically a waste of time. There are far better routes around in Moray. Hardly surprising since Moray has some of the best natural riding to be found anywhere. I wouldn't waste my time and energy on it when there are so many good alternatives.
*Agrees*...I live here to & pretty much sums it up 🙂
