I hadn't even seen that Loch Ness plan before, so if it went ahead there would be bike parks at Glencoe and at Glendoe 😀
And of course Dunoon might become the next BPW, but with a gondola:

Or it might not.
Gut feel is
..er well, it's wrong. But as you've never had the pleasure of a trip to BPW, I guess you wouldn't understand. Spent many years riding up, down, with a map, on natural trails, on purposebuilt trails. Then BPW came along and it's a different way to enjoy riding your bike. I only go once a year, with my son, but had some of the best weekends doing that. And had other amazing weekends doing other types of riding. You don't get it, you don't get it, but that doesn't mean everyone has to do what you do.
Couple of weekends ago was doing an uplift day with a bunch of 20 somethings (only my bike had a motor). Another great day to remember.
I've got an ebike, but next time at BPW it'll be going on the uplift.
I've never been there - but what's the actual USP of BPW? "Something for everyone" is mentioned above, but what does that actually mean?
Loads of colour-graded trails (with plenty on the easier side), good signage and constant trail maintenance.
Even if it's a bit commoditised for your taste as a rugged individualist, it's hugely popular with riders of all levels. Probably because it's good accessible fun.
I haven't actually been there for 10 years myself though, as I'm also a bit of a rugged individualist 😀
The USP is nicely demonstrated here
