starting in the Perthshire towns and villages of Dunkeld, Pitlochry, Blair Atholl, Aberfeldy and Comrie, as well as the remote Rannoch Station.

With the route having now been open for the past two months the Perthshire Gravel Trails project team is keen to gain feedback from those who have ventured onto its sprawling network of routes.

A spokesperson for the team said: “Since we launched the Perthshire Gravel Trails on July 15 we have had a lot of media coverage for the project and a lot of feedback on social media too.

“The Perthshire Gravel Trails Project is supported by Rural Perth and Kinross LEADER Programme 2014-2020, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development: Europe investing in rural areas, and the SSE Griffin and Calliachar Community Fund, and we are now in the final phase of the first stage of the project.

“Your opinion will help us to develop the offer and attract funding for future stages, therefore we would be grateful if you can participate in our survey.

“It should not take longer than 10 minutes, and we would be delighted if you could share your personal stories and pictures from riding the routes, which we would like to feature on the website, social media channels and in a final report to the funders.

“Your stories will help us secure funding to give you more routes to ride.”

The project was led and administered by Highland Perthshire Cycling, a charity set up to promote, encourage and enable more cycling in Highland Perthshire, and delivered by Bikepacking Scotland.

The new gravel bikepacking route is part of 11 different itineraries, which are now available to download for free at www. perthshiregravel.com

The survey can also be found on the same website.
