On Thursday 7th November saw me heading south to Newark in torrential rain resulting in parts of the A1 closed due to flooding. The camping area was very light compared to last year, exhibitors were down in numbers however we were as usual inside here are a few photos
I attended the Red Row Vintage Club rally held in glorious weather at Druridge Bay Country Park on the 3rd and 4th of August.
The rally site is about three miles south of Amble in Northumberland with a well stocked visitor centre on site, excellent camping facilities
I was asked to help at one of my favourite rally the Wolds Vintage Group Rally held at Fangfoss in North Yorkshire on 27/28 July. setting up was in brilliant sunshine ( too hot ) we had to frequently stop for a cooling drink of water here are a few pictures especially of note the three quite rare Coleby machines
I was at Chillingham Vintage Rally at Wooler in Northumberland yesterday a nice selection of horticultural machines some of which are not seen very often
I collected my latest toys from Derbyshire to find one rare (a word I use very sparingly ) but to find two is unbelievable they are ACRE Rotary Cultivator. more pictures will follow later
Another fine mess you got me into Stanley. I went to collect a Barford Power Scythe from north of the border and ended up with this lot which went to a gentleman in Edinburgh. A quick look at my Barford Powerscythe, needs new tyres, engine turns, coil dead (but saying that it is a Villiers ) very good cutter bar good project
collected my latest toy yesterday from a very nice gentleman in Derbyshire a Shay Rotogardener 80 in very nice condition nothing to do to it Has anyone got a manual for this machine? I have one for the
JAP 80 engine
Hi Gazz They are not what would call Rare, by the sounds of it you have a plough for a model T there are three different plough types for different machines value as always what a man wants to pay and how desperate he is to get one, but it is rare to find one complete with weight
Some pics from the 36th Hethersgill Annual Vintage Rally held on the 5th May at Carlisle Airport
