Norton Gathering at Town Yetholm 7/09/19

On the Saturday we packed up the bikes and headed to Yetholm for the annual Tay Valley and Northumbria branches get together. We stopped in Kelso for fuel and something to eat before making our way along the country roads to the campsite. There were a few folk that had been down from the Friday night, a late one in the pub by all accounts. We had a good blether once the tent was up, and it was great to chat with George Martin who had popped in for a visit on his Triumph. Pretty soon it was time for beer so Lesley and I sat out the front of the Plough in the sunshine till the others appeared. It turned out to be a great night with lots of stories and laughs, the best night we have had at the Yetholm weekend. Sunday morning was spent drinking tea and saying our goodbyes, then pretty soon it was time to pack up and head home, via a diversion because of the bloody cycle event, nonetheless it was a fine run home. What an excellent weekend and thanks to the organisers who made sure everyone was catered for.
The black and white photos were taken with my Olympus OM1 and Cinestill BWxx film.
