Eskdale Show Cumbria

[expeatfarmer 591]

Janet and I spent an enjoyable weekend over in Eskdale with our camper, I had been invited to judge the machinery classes. There were some interesting machines and superb classic cars but unfortunately a bad weather forecast obviously put off a substantial number of exhibitors. As it turned out show day weather was ideal with no rain until late in the evening. 2018 is a centenary anniversary for the show and I have been asked to stage a display of Ransomes Tractors I am trying to think of the logistics of transporting 15 machines.

Beautiful pictures, somewhat unusual to see a big Chevy dually over there, no?

That is our camper, a Lance mounted on a 6.5L Duramax Chevrolet Silverado.

I saw that, it is very nice. Is this a hard to get or is the Chevy Duramax an unusual model in the UK?

You kept quiet about that, Jonathan. I was told I could have Sunday off. I could have had a run down, instead of working on the studio.

Sorry Norm I thought I told you when you came round last week. 

[Stormin 4,458]

You most likely did, Jonathan. I should have made a note. Next year.

Regarding the 2018 show I suggest you ask Norm to drive the skimmer there, if he leaves now he might just make it in time!
