Stormin

I want a plough for the C-125, so I can enter our ploughing matches. Got a match on the 15th of this month. Just outside Carlisle.

Nice to see.

It's rather big for us alone but came with the van. Handy for the dogs though. Keeps the wet and mud out of the van.

Rained in the morning.

Brilliant!

In hindsight I should have done the roof conventional style. It is supported with trusses. I have since added support under the trusses and boarded making storage space above.

Been a camper for years. Tents and caravans. We used to tour but not now. I still use this Oz tent on occasion. We have this caravan on a permanent site just over the border in Scotland. Just an hour away and try to get there as much as we can at weekends. I also do rally and trial marshalling about 6 times a year. The rest of my time is taken up trying to be retired.

High tide again today so went to take some photos. This is the start of the marsh road. Yesterday it was nearly up to the top of the embankment and the water was quite rough. Looking over the marsh. Further down the coast. Let the dogs have a good run here. On return to the Land Rover, I found I'd lost my keys. I spent a good hour back tracking only to find them about 100ft from the landy. Where's the mopping brow smiley?

Entry form sent for.

A Ransome crawler sold for £600 at the Hethersgill Vintage rally auction last year. Restored but with no engine compression.

That picnic table is something.

Now then, maybe a northern chap can help here. My father gave me one of those, or similar. I gave it to one of the son-in-laws. I think he still has it. I'll check tomorrow.

Fitted a rubber strip to the blade and cleaned the lane by us.

I built this out of what I had lying around, in anticipation of snow last winter. I'm still waiting. First a frame was made using some 1-5/8 bore pipe and box section. Then the front end put together The blade was made at the local smithy. No rollers big enough, so it was curved in stages on a folder. I made my own tach-o-matic for the rear. Then this dodgy character nicked it.

What's it's load weight capacity BTW?

The floor will most likely be treated already, but a good coat of floor paint wouldn't go a miss.

Some collection. You'll be alright for power cuts. Hire them out to neighbours.

Looks good! Just a thought. Handy for washing out but beware of water getting underneath and rotting the floor.

Soapy water and a bank/credit card for me.

Yes Richard 12-30. Neil, your right there. Driving in off road competitions taught me a lot about adverse conditions.

I'll have to put up a photo of the generator I've got. Single cylinder diesel. 240 and 110 volt. It's buried in a corner of the workshop now and I can't give details as to make or anything.

Maybe get another tree or two.

Like the video. Thanks!

High winds and rain today. Went over to youngest daughters this morning. She lives at Silloth on the coast. I decided to return along the marsh road which is something I often do. As I left the tide was running high, with waves breaking over the prom in places. Reaching the start of the marsh road, I could see the road was covered with choppy water reaching half way up the flood bank. Decided discrection the better part of valour and turned back.
