| Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside |
Fairly straightforward run over to the west coast, where I caught
the ferry over to Dunoon. On the ferry I noticed a couple pointing at the
pannier on my bike and smiling.

When they saw I’d seen them the woman indicated
the MZ sticker and explained in halting English that her husband used to work
at the factory at Zschopau (in the former DDR). He was glad to see people were
still interested in the bikes he used to make. It’s a smaller world at times than
we realise.
The remainder of the ride was along the coast and through some spectacular scenery before arriving at the Tighnabruaich Hotel right on the coast.

As is the norm at these events there is a good mix of old
and new bikes, and as always, a chance to catch up with people you've not seen for a while.
A couple of nice old classics turned up, one British the
other Japanese, as well as a bunch of the aforementioned MZs from (East)
Germany.
