Just looking for a general consensus - thinking mid-to end of May and would ideally like direct flights from Scotland (or North England at a push) - so Madeira, Canary Islands, even mainland Europe.

Does anyone have any ideas of great places to go mountain biking? As much as I don't want to splash the cash, I should really go on a proper organised mountain bike holiday as I can't be bothered to find my own way about and would want to be a social creature.

No ideas? Maybe I should find my way around Torridon instead?

Easyjet flies from Edinburgh to Geneva, that opens up a ton of locations. I think White Room are basically sold out but they'd get my recommendation normally.

Plenty of cheap Ryanair or Easyjet flights into Malaga from Glasgow.
Perfect weather in May.
Great singletrack rides during the day & lively night life on the coast at night.

highly recommend basque MTB. I flew with air France from Edinburgh which included a very short change over in Paris, was cheaper, easier and quicker than flying from England.
