“The mountains are calling and I must go”
— John Muir

Whether you’re missing a sleeping mat, a stove or a complete camping set-up, we have everything you’ll need to get you on your way.

All you have to do is get going…

All of our ALPKIT equipment can be hired for just an over-nighter, or for weeks at a time. Whether you’re using it on one of our courses or escapes, or taking it on your own bike adventures, our aim is simply to facilitate getting more people out and about without having to first invest in lots of expensive gear.

PLEASE NOTE: Our camping equipment is only available to facilitate those on cycling journeys. We are not set up to deal with other equipment hire enquiries.

Prices: Start at just £35 overnight (full bundle)

Collection: Get set up with all of your kit at our base in Inverness for your highland bike adventures.

After a long day in the saddle, sometimes it is difficult to raise the energy to cook. This is why we have teamed up with Dorset based company FIREPOT to provide you with effortless, tasty and nutritious meals. Each meal is made with only natural foods (read: no additives or nasty preservatives) which have then simply been dehydrated. All you need to do is add boiling water, wait 15 mins and viola, a delicious meal awaits! For us, these are definitely the best dehydrated meals we have found and we have taken great joy in testing each and every one…
