LEJOG Day13 Hotel Lochranza Arran to Port Appin

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><font size="3">With over 80 miles to cover today, it was important that I was on the 8.15am Lochranza to Claonaig ferry (On Sundays the first ferry departs at 9.30am). </font></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><font size="3">There were a few climbs today but compensated by the lovely scenery and good weather. From Oban you meet increasing amounts of unpleasant traffic, unfortunately there are few alternatives other than to use the A-roads.</font></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><font size="3">The appeal of having a meal at the Pierhouse Hotel in Port Appin (a past winner of the AA Seafood Pub of the Year) was the reason that today's ride was longer than my average. There are cheaper and more expensive places to stay locally but the setting of the Pier House Hotel is delightful and was a satisfying reward for a long day on the bike.</font></span>
