Steam Ploughing 2016
Few photo's I took on my phone. I was there sunday Mid-day and there was plenty of activity, even though in the distance I could see a few Ploughing Engines leaving on Low Loaders. The weather was brilliant which always makes for a good day.
Entrance
Conventional Ploughing
Some Horse Ploughing
Nice to see John Sawle's Foden Agritractor doing some direct ploughing. Had a very good chat, first time it's been out of Cornwall in over 50 years and the first time its ploughed since being in South Africa in the 1940's I think. It was a very capable machine and did a very nice job of ploughing
nice to see 2 engines direct ploughing
Not sure what the purpose of the Road Loco was at the Ploughing but it was a very impressive machine
Not sure what coal they were burning but it made for some impressive displays
One exhibit I was glad to see was the Fowler that came out of Armley Mills. Here it is when I last saw it in Nov 2011
And at the weekend
