The field is filling up nicely. We put the roller and clutter in tonight and there were quite a few more engines arriving.
The ground conditions are fine. A good move by the organisers not having the weekend campers in the main field this year, it should stop things getting cut up too badly.
Its going to be a good weekend.

had a gr8 time sat & sun, the best part was the ''road run'' bottom gear going up the hill, lots of cheering along the way, & best of all a nice pint of black sheep in the square & a good chinwag- superb!!

Bottom gear?

Had a very enjoyable weekend. There was a great atmasphere throughout.
One particular highlight was watching Keith Collins about to load Pandora. It involved the telephone and asking for instructions on how to load the engine as he had never done it before. The couple of onlookers seemed to be taking it in.
It was great to see all of the showmans engines lit up next to the gallopers and stage show on the saturday night.
Roll on next year !!

re-bottom gear, well I have a choice of two, bottom or top, so with a trailer full of coal & water plus passenger, having not done the road run at masham before[my son did it last year with me on the back] I decided on bottom gear [or low speed if you like] just so I didn't end up with egg on me mush if I didn't make it to the top!!
