Cosybike in the Trossachs! September weekend sat 26th sun 27th

Summer is coming to an end but september can usually be quite good in scotland....

Cosybike has a new operating site in the Trossachs at the David Marshall Lodge.  It's an ideal warm up for those off to do the Go ape Tree Top assault course and the Longest Zip slides in Britain!!   Wheeeee!  Or for scaredy cats that want something a little more laid back.

The views are fantastic, and there is also a great cycle route at Loch Katrine and the SS Sir Walter Scott.

Aberfoyle also has Ice Cream.  I am enthusiastically optimistic that ice cream will be needed in September.
