Biker Friendly hotel in Ullapool The Arch Inn

[Stevie GooGs]

Guys just to let you know that a friend of mines father owns a nice hotel on the sea front of Ullapool. The hotel is biker friendly and has off road parking. For more information look at https://www.thearchinn.co.uk It is a nice ride up if you are going up via Sky right up the west coast (weather permitting of course ).

The only good reason to go to Ullapool on your bike is as a start point to ride it to Durness at one million miles per hour.

Do they do Langoustine in the restraunt?

Yeah they do Langoustine, some of the roads into Ullapool are nice on the bike. Its a good base camp for touring the highlands.

Hi Stevie,
Yeah spoke before.I,m having a set of tyres fitted at Spinningdale on the way up. What,s the road to Ullapool from there like, or are we better going up north and follow the coast road?

From Spinningdale direct to Ullapool it is a single track, not bad road can be dangerous with tourists and coaches so expect to go round the bends and have to use a lot of breaking. BTW Tom at Spinnindale is really cool tell him Steve from Ullapool says hello.

I have not had time to go up the north east coast but that is the way the rest of the BCF highland tour group went.

The roads are really good twistes and some really fast straights, the roads can be like sand paper to sticky tyres so its a good idea to get a new set.

What way are you coming up?

Hi Steve,
Well it is Scotland. I,ve been coming up for 14 years and love the country so fine weather is a bonus.
Ride down to Applecross from Ullapool is worth getting wet for.Two of the lads have,nt done it before and are sick of me telling em how good it is.
See yah
Bill

got to say that ullapool is an excellent base for biking the north west of Scotland. Plenty of good, reasonable B+B's and a couple of good pubs. have to agree with the previous poster, the road to Applecross, especially over the Coire na Bhain ( I think that's how you spell it) is to die for!! happy riding up there, be there again next year.

[xjr1300]

That,s it,
7.30am tomorrow we,re off. Weather report says rain, so what, it,s Scotland innit
Hope we meet some of you bikers while we,re up north.Locals here say don,t mention world cup.Why not?
Bikers rise above that crap.
Bill

Watch you can easily miss the garage, look for old unused petorl station that is outside.

The petorl station is at the front and if you drive up the old road the garage is to the left, watch as its not a smooth surface and you can easily drop the bike.
