The hill yes, roads at the top close differently but usually the cirencester one, watch out for the new roundabout just after the one at top of hill

I’m on a cruise around Iceland (not on my bike).

I’ve seen two bikes in 10 days. Not really surprising given the climate and remoteness.

However, today we are in the fishing town of Vestmannaeyjar on the island of Heimar.

Wandering up a random backstreet I saw a Black Bomber on the back of a trailer, so wandered over to say hello.

Inside I found the Drullusokkar Motorcycle Club.

I used to stay at a Hotel in Benderloch and also one at the Falls or Lora in the early 1990's, when I was doing work on an electronic monitoring system at Foster Yeoman Quarry at Glensanda, which wasn't accessible by road, only by ferry. Almost everything on site was from RS Components as I remember. A beautiful part of the world and I also used to enjoy eating haggis at McTavish's Kitchen in Oban.

Always remember going through a place called ArdLui   ...had visions of a tough Italian/Scottish bruiser.

Hi Ash, I could spend hours in that place, ships are a passion of mine as well. But hey, who is this guy on FB, the club itself isn't.
My 'first Kawasaki' weighed over 100,000 tons. That pic really is me in Libya as a kid!

Ash, you'd have got the Glensanda boat from Port Appin wouldn't you? They're lovely all weather fast boats...Foster Yeoman have sold the quarry now but it's still working and I used to enjoy fish and chips at McTavish's too but the place is now a shop...I can see Glensanda from my house and now and then can hear the dull thud of blasting 😄👍

From memory (a long time ago now  ) Foster Yeoman had their own boat and it went from Ledaig near Benderloch to Glensanda. I seem to remember that the stone  produced at that time mostly went by boat to be Tilbury. It was a bit of an unusual job because our arch rivals Goodyear had sold them a conveyor belt splice failure monitoring system ..that didn't work    By some strange 'old pals' act between the top brass where I worked and Goodyear in Akron, Ohio, yours truly was sent there to re-design the electronics to get it to work properly. A long drive from East Yorkshire though in a 1.8 Escort Diesel !
