Route Description
Just under 14 miles in total, this loop takes you from the west beach car park in Lossiemouth, round the perimeter of the airfield via Duffus Castle and back. The whole route is relatively flat and passes through fertile farming country. Watch out for the low flying jets during the first 2 miles, as you pass close to the end of the RAF Lossiemouth runway (Tornados and Jaguars).
Directions
  1. Start from the West Beach car park, travel up the hill to the main road and turn right.
  2. Follow this fairly busy road past the Skerry Brae Hotel and down the hill - watch out for badly parked cars along this section.
  3. Keep to this road as it passes between the two sides of the golf course, past the Silver Sands Leisure Park on the right by Covesea Lighthouse. The Covesea Golf Course appears on the right after 2.5 miles (pay nad play).
  4. Take the turn off to the left just past the golf course and free wheel down the country lane between the beech hedges, admiring the views over the hills in front.
  5. Turn right at the T junction, passing between the airfield approach lights.
  6. Duffus Castle appears on your left and is worth a visit (Scottish Heritage).
  7. At the next junction, turn left nad cycle for just under a mile, passing the bus stop on the left.
  8. Take the road to the left signposted Mid Mains just past the bus stop - take care it is easy to miss this turn off on the sharp left hand bend in the road.
  9. Cycle along the straight flat lane between the fields until you come to a T junction.
  10. Turn left over the little bridge and carry on this lane past Westerfolds farm on the left.
  11. Turn right at the T junction, travelling along the perimeter of the airfield until you come to the next T junction.
  12. Turn left towards Lossiemouth, go straight over at the roundabout in front of the main entrance to RAF Lossiemouth.
  13. At the T junction, turn right and head back towards the town, up the hill past the Skerry Brae Hotel and back down to the West Beach car park on the left.
