Cycling is a great way to get to the venue.

The travel map shows the cycling route from Fort William to the venue which is approximately 6km. The route is a shared-use path alongside the A82 and fully signposted. The route
then follows a quiet tarmac road from Torlundy before joining a forest road close to the venue. For the final 100m, please dismount before the bike park and West Entrance.

This route is also suitable for those walking to the venue from Fort William. Free cycle parking is available in the Bike Park to the west of the venue. This will be controlled by event staff and will operate a bike and rider identification system but please bring a suitable bike lock. Cycle parking facilities are open from 08:30 until after the final ceremonies.

Accessibility: Please note if you’re planning to use an adaptive bike, the last section of the cycle track is not suitable for all adaptive bikes.

Please do not walk along the A82 to access the venue from Fort William or Park & Ride sites. This is a busy route and not suitable for walking.
