Strontian again – hey-ho 
A delayed & re-scheduled gathering of the ADV Scotland Clan was held at a rather damp (again) Strontian campsite. The campsite isn’t really damp, is it Rick, it’s just the west coast weather attracting the dampness!
Many said they’d attend but the weather was almost an exact repeat of 2019s meet – wet, wet,wet! That and the stupidity driven fuel shortage meant many stayed at home. Shame really, as it was great to gather & blether and carry out the much practiced medical procedure at this sort of event of Pish-Taking.
Here are pictures of most of the machines that brought their loyal riders north (and south!) . . .
No picture of a certain Skye dwellers bike or of the man frae Fifes machine. The Skye manny had come & gone before I’d even arrived on Friday afternoon (he can explain
) and the Fifer headed off early doors on Saturday morning. I also failed to photo the late arrivals bikes on Friday night – sorry chaps, forget your names, but you both have excellent taste in motorcycles – A TA650 and a TA700.
Most prevalent machine – the iconic Honda Transalp in both 650 & 700cc form – Qty 4. That’s the 2nd year that the Alps have out-numbered all other machines at this annual event
Eldest & I decided to make the most of an apparent 3 hour gap in the downpours on Saturday morning and headed for Lochaline and some little roads (tarred and not
) around that area of the peninsular
Spotted this as we wandered . . .
A local geological feature . . .
And some dirty bits
. . .
Saturday evenings BBQ was great – Cheers again to Tim the campsites owner – you & yours are fantastic hosts and incredibly tolerant people.
Final photie from me taken as we near the other side of the water before an increasingly drying run home . . .
Huge thanks to LWR for yet again arranging a great gathering and a big thanks also to all those that ventured north & south to attend – great to see old (Al), young (Jack – respect fella, respect
) and new faces.
