personally on the engine i feel we should of turned left out of the rally field and headed towards the A1 up the steady incline which lasted for at least 1-2 miles as that would really test the engines as we found the hill was too short to really test the fowler showmans engine renown

Did that with Burrell scenic "William V" 3610 when she was in Yorksire , took her left out of gate and up hill towards A1, turned round at top and took her past rally and up into town, think we did it both days, just for something different.

I remember one year a long time ago when Lighting 2 was roaded to Masham.
It was when Dick Preston Snr was driving, he turned left out of the field on Sunday evening back towards home.

I can still hear it now as it powered off up the hill at full chat in top gear.....wonderful stuff.
