Norton Owners Club Gathering 11/09/21

After a two year hiatus it was great to be on the bikes heading to Town Yetholm again, for the annual Tay Valley and Northumbria Norton Owners Clubs weekend get together. Thankfully we managed to filter through the worst of the Edinburgh bypass traffic jams, and we were soon on better roads heading to Kelso for our dinner, then onto our final destination Town Yetholm. Most of the gathering had come down on the Friday and a great late night was had by all accounts. It was good to see everyone again and lots of catching up ensued. After the tent was up for only the second time this year, it was time to head to the pub for our tea, beer and more than a few drams, which turned out to be a late night with the usual suspects. The run home on the Sunday was great on the back roads, but not so much in the traffic jams again. Thanks to David T. for organising the great weekend.

Once we got home the bikes were unpacked, the tent aired, and we got on with preparing for our Assynt holiday the following week.
