Last weekend saw me make my annual jaunt to
Northern Ireland for the MZ Riders Club rally at Garrison in Co. Fermanagh. This
year I met up with Gareth & Terry at Troon and we caught the ferry and
travelled together.

As neither had been to see the memorial garden
for the Dunlop brothers, Joey and Robert, we detoured to Ballymoney where we
had a bit of a wander around before heading on.

There are some more photos of
the gardens taken on a previous trip here if you're interested.

Unlike in previous years, we'd booked a
holiday villa for the weekend. Proper beds, no camping or shared bunkhouse
accommodation on this trip, and the bikes were under cover in a barn onsite. It
made for a nice relaxed change of pace and we're already in negotiations to
book the place again for next year.

The rest of the weekend panned out much as
expected, and in the evenings we all repaired to the local pub where guitars
were produced and a few of the lads kept everyone entertained.
I’ll be going back to Ireland, the Republic
this time, in August for more of the same.
