Whether you are coming from inside the UK or from further afield, our aim is to make it as easy as possible for you to get to your chosen Outward Bound centre. There are a number of travel options:
In the car
If you are bringing someone else to start their course, this gives you the chance to enjoy a few hours at the centre, see our facilities and meet some of our instructors. Given all our centres are in particularly beautiful places, you can make the journey a day out together. You may even decide to make a short break out of your journey and we can advise on a selection of hotels and B&Bs close to the centres.

Rail pick-ups
For those wishing to travel by rail we offer a pick up service from Loch Eil station. Please call the Loch Eil centre to advise them of your arrival time.
Combination travel
It may well suit your plans to combine travel arrangements. For example, you may wish to bring those participating to the centre and then let us drop them back off at the nearest rail station for their return journey. They are likely to be travelling with lots of new-found friends!
