How this plan is made

No one picks these by hand and no one pays to be in them. The planner's rules take the places and roads the Cairngorms's pages rank, for anyone, any month: each day the best roads close together, in riding order, and a night in the town nearest where they end. Distances are as the crow flies, so the road is longer. Check opening times on each place's page before you go. How the ranking works.

How it works, in full

Free, and made for the love of the UK

offyougo is free, with no adverts and no paid places. It is made by one person, Pavel, who loves this country, every park, coast, town and back lane of it, and would like people from everywhere on Earth to travel round it more. The servers and the AI that writes the short descriptions cost money every month. If offyougo helped you plan a day out, please consider a one-off gift.

A one-off payment through Stripe, from £2 to £2,000; the receipt comes by email. Or buy Pavel a matcha 🍵 on Ko-fi.
