Wiston Rally
 

Hi,

l will be there with my 6" Mac and 4" B6 Fowler, an excellent rally last year - looking forward to it.
At our last rally we were flooded out, but thanks to a friendly tractor driver our caravan was saved from being in welly deep flood water !
Cheers Bill

Just got back now! Best rally I have been too for a long time! Such nice weather and lots of engines from sussex hampshire wiltshire and kent! Great atmosphere and setting in front of Wiston House!

Agreed. Spent a couple of hours this afternoon wandering about.
Strange ground conditions making all the engines work really hard moving about.
Excellent rally.

Sadly I'm unable to attend. Good luck to all involved and hope you have a successful event.

Just got back been down for the day.Great show lots of different engines reminded me of how the rallies used to be.Well worth visiting best Ive been to in a long time wished I had the engine there and could stay the weekend.

I wasn't surprised that this year even surpassed last year and had two excellent days out.Even better that it was only 15 minutes from home.Well done again to the organizers.

Ground condition was certainly interesting. I was collecting the money for the engine rides on both days and despite sinking in 4-6" not even the rollers spun a wheel once when pulling away up hill. The Burrell Gold Medal owned by the Claude Jessett Trust went through a whole tank of water doing 11 laps on trailer rides on Sunday yet did the entire run of 32 miles back to base yesterday without a single water fill up.
