Ullapool Sportives
25 September 2010
Stunning Scenery from the UK’s most northerly sportive
The
Ullapool this route
takes in some of the wildest scenery Scotland has to offer
from wild cliffs and tiny islands to lonely moorland and remote
sandy beaches with superb panoramic mountain views, tree-lined
twisting roads and foaming rivers. The ride passes
the
ruin of Ardvreck
Castle on the
shore
of Loch Assynt , built by
the MacLeods of Assynt in the 16th century and the Kylesku Bridge
which has been described as one of the most beautiful bridges in the
world.
The Ullapool Beag is shorter but equally impressive in terms of scenery. Wind around the unique and spectacular mountains of west Sutherland on quiet roads. The route is demanding but rewarding, taking you to places you may have never been before. A little gem!
