As many of you know by now a few of us southern Boys and Girls are going up north to Newby Hall Tractorfest.
This was decided at our Christmas dinner in December and seemed a good idea at the time as there was 6 months to get ready.
Since December my wife has been quite poorly and my van needed replacing, After spending months on the internet and hundreds of miles viewing junk I found what I was looking for, after mopping and waxing the bodywork I found that it needed new brakes all round and steering drumsticks and tyres, with all that done all I had to do is fit the winch.
I have to say that at one point I was going to cancel the trip but with help from close friends I kept going.
As there is now only 3 days before we leave, I thought I had better start getting some Exhibits together today and this is as far as I got today.
