Default Harvest Home 2013

I spent a brilliant 2 days in Cornwall last weekend at the Harvest Home event, I was very lucky to have been allowed to drive the "Cornish Maid" on the thresher for the weekend. It was a nice relaxed event, but there was still alot going on with two threshers and balers working, along with the rack bench, and the rollers making the roadway wider at the top of the field. Saturday evening was spent in the company of Four Lanes Male Voice Choir, something different for this sort of event, but very good none the less. A few of my photos are below, loads more can be found on Facebook, sorry there arent any photos of the other engines in attendance, spent most of my time around the thrashing area!























Thanks again to Steve & co for all the hard work they put in to make the event a success.
George

Was only able to get there on Sunday this year, but as has been said, a great event, very much a traditional working rally. A wedding with two Sentinels on Saturday - so hope to spend two days at Trebudannon next year. Well done Steve and family and helpers!

Those electricity wires look a tab close for my liking! Difficult to tell from the angle of the picture but please bear in mind it's 11000 volts up there you get no second chances!

Sorry it's the job I work with those bloody things! Any advice needed on getting them relocated send me a pm.

Richard
