We packed up the bikes and set off for the annual Tay Valley Norton Club get together in Strontian, the run through Glencoe was amazing as always, we had planned to stop for food at the Glencoe Cafe but it was closed, nearing starvation we fuelled up the bikes and headed for the Corran ferry which we didn't have too long to wait for. The Inn at Ardgour was closed but thankfully there is a caravan called the Nomad Cafe which sells great toasties etc. The ride to Strontian is stunning, and the arrival at our destination always comes too soon. It didn't take long to put the tent up and offload the bikes. the afternoon was spent blethering to the Norton guys before heading to the pub. We were one of the last ones to leave as usual, making for a long lie the next morning. We had a good run home on the Sunday with the roads not too busy. The B&W photos were taken on the Rolleicord. Hopefully there will be a TVNOC Strontian 2023.
