Default Kemble 2009

A few of my 500 odd photos taken at Kemble this weekend.
Thursday evening provided fabulous soft evening sunlight and was just great for photography











Evening arrival after 14 hours roading to Kemble. A job well done by the Nemeth Family.


But Saturday was much different - photos to follow

Friday morning dawned overcast and cool. The wind had changed direction and there were ominous black clouds on the horizon.
It was good seeing steam tow-starting infernal combustion for a change


There was much activity around the site

While others had a long lay after a 14 hour journey the day before

Some had a lot of polishing to do

While others were missing - presumed still asleep - or hiding!

Some made smoke

While others slumbered on



JR stopped people from working







And some stopped to talk

Quite differently to roy, I took a grant total of 4 photos. All taken with my phone. Here are the best two. Differing soloutions to the same problem.





The other two photos are of ''Broken Firebar'' polishing a Burrell, but not the Burrell ''Sams Boy'' would like

Yes, but I was not getting dirty and driving steam around all day - much as I would have liked to have done!

Great pictures Roy, and my fave engine is included. Looks like a great weekend was had by all.

How's the little Tasker, Hedd??

Thanks but bear with me. They were just a taster while I did the 26 videos on YouTube. Given time you will see some more. A few have already appeared on the thread "Captions please". If you have not seen them, have a look and give us your considered opinion of what was thought/said.

Roy. Vicky has spotted an inaccuracy on your second batch of photos here. "Saturday morning dawned overcast and cool" was actually Friday! These three day rallies are confusing aren't they?

Not the best tool on Tarmac, the strakes are a little lumpy. But it means you learn to drive it slow. Its a super little thing.
