Default Belper Steam Rally 16th & 17th June 2018

The weather just about held out for Belper. Everybody seemed to enjoy the weekend. We roaded the Garrett down on Friday had a quick run out on Saturday night and drove back home Sunday evening.

We had the privilege of towing the Sherman family's Brown & May portable around the arena. This engine is now in its 150th year.



Just what you need on a Sunday night just as you're ready to set off home is a puncture on the inner wheel

I noticed that the exhibit numbers were down this year and Dave Whittle wasn't the arena commentator .
Enjoyed the conversation with Mr Shearman about his Brown & May portable , still running at that age , fantastic.
Do you know when Sprig will be back in action ?
