GO-WHERE

Whether you’re a rider, walker, mountain man or woman, kite surfer, golf fanatic, or first-time Scotland visitor in search of a neat solution to get you, your luggage and your bike to (or from!) some of Scotland’s best locations, then Andy McKenna’s new venture GO-WHERE might just be what you and your customers are looking for.

GO-WHERE’s all about whisking you and your friends off to some of Scotland’s most incredible locations in a hassle-free, environmentally friendly way that ends with tired limbs and huge smiles! By sharing transport visitors get to new places without the hassle-factor. Passengers minimise their fuel costs whilst relaxing and soaking up the views and stopping off en-route to enjoy not just the scenery and the trails, but the local services too.

GO-WHERE’s based out of the mountain biking mecca of Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders, but offers a range of transport and support services throughout Scotland. As well as offering bespoke cycle and outdoors transport clients can enjoy a range of great complimentary services:

• complimentary route advice
• first aid qualified riding 'buddy' (someone who knows the trails, and, understands riding in remote locations)
• bike mechanic (expert trailside repairs)
• accommodation advice and links

Andy hopes his new venture will be just as successful as his accommodation business in Innerleithen – Innerhaven - which has proven particularly popular with walkers, road cyclists and mountain bikers looking for a perfectly practical base to explore Southern Scotland. One regular complaint Andy hears, and hopes to alleviate with GO-WHERE is the need for outdoors friendly transport, not just to collect holiday-makers and their bikes from airports, train stations and ferry terminals, but to help them explore further afield e.g. the other 7Stanes MTB trail centres, or to carry their baggage and bikes on multi-day tours, or bring them back to their base after a leg on a point-to-point adventure. With over thirty years experience of exploring Scotland on foot and by bike, Andy hopes the GO-WHERE idea will prove popular not just with visiting road cyclists and mountain bikers, but with locals too who want to get out and explore new places.

*GO-WHERE transport services will operate in a way that minimises its impact on the environment. Their vehicle carries up to 8 passengers with luggage and bikes – which potentially means fewer cars on the roads. Andy is also looking into offsetting their CO2 emissions which means pollution produced by operating the GO-WHERE transport service is minimised.
