Innerleithen MTB Park…one step closer

A report was commissioned to look at the commercial feasibility of the development of a bike park, which would include a chairlift café and bike hire and network of mixed ability trails. The report covered a full market assessment, site access and layout, building design, chairlift design, services, trail development and environmental impact scoping study.

The findings conclude that the development of a commercial purpose-built Bike Park at Innerleithen in the Tweed Valley could see a unique facility in Scotland and in the UK. To bring the project to life, the report also states that it could cost up to £10 million.

If the vision for the bike park is realised, the project could have the potential to create a significant economic benefit for Scotland and the Scottish Borders area with an estimated £5.86 million at Scottish Borders area and the creation of 127 direct and indirect jobs in the local economy.

If achieved, it would be the first dedicated chairlift for mountain biking in the World. The facility could unlock a significant opportunity to cement and build the Tweed Valley’s reputation as an international mountain bike and cycling destination building on the credentials of Glentress.

Ladies Freeride Festival

Join in on the UK’s first women-only freeride event on the 4th and 5th October 2008.

innerhaven wants Tweed Valley visitors to know all about this unique two day ladies mountainbike freeride event. With top level coaching and mtb displays on Saturday, there’s a BBQ on the Sunday, and a fun competition for everyone to show off their newly honed freeride skills to a panel of judges - with plenty of prizes for entrants.

This will all take place at Glentress Freeride Park and should be a really fun weekend with the chance to meet other budding female riders as well as learn new skills and challenge yourselves too.

Entry forms will shortly be available from www.downhiller.co.uk or by contacting organiser Lynne Aitchison (aitchylynne@yahoo.co.uk).

As a new self catering holiday business, it’s really reassuring to get the kind of positive feedback we’ve been receiving lately from our guests. It’s early days but it looks like we’re on the right track. A huge thanks to all those who’ve booked a holiday at innerhaven, and for all the generous feedback given so far.

Feastly Breakfast Hampers

Self-catering holidays are great fun, but sometimes a bit of pampering is good too, and a lot more fun than having to cook your own breakfast.

See what’s in one of our delicious breakfast hampers, and start your day off the lazy way!

Feedback for charity

We’ve just produced our guest feedback form, to help ensure that we’re getting it right for our guests!

For each completed form we receive, we’ve decided to give 10 pence to the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Our guests benefit too, because for each guest referral that books a stay at innerhaven we’re knocking 10% off the cost of the referrers next stay with us.

Anyone for a Dirty, Durty Weekend?

Certainly not what you’re thinking, but instead two exciting adventure races set in the beautiful Borders countryside.

The ‘Dirty Weekend’ on the 5th/6th of July, and the ‘Durty Triathlon’ on the 29th June.

Be kind to yourself, or your support crew - why not make innerhaven your race HQ for the weekend?
