Just bringing this back to the top - weather forecast looks reasonable at the moment. Heading off down west early tomorrow for two good days!

The roller had an unfair advantage though didn't it? That fourth shaft ;-) equal playing field tomorrow and being a fowler there'll be no struggling in the hills or changing down on a slight gradient ;-)

Hoping to come for the day tommorow , find out the result of the "Whacky Races"

A true test tomorrow Marshall vs Fowler vs Garrett. Smithy is giving us a head start!

i've got the field marshall and plough loaded ready for the morning, theres 4 or 5 tractors coming from tredinnick, looking forward to it, think the weathers going to be ok, should be a good day

Weather is supposed to clear up overnight so we will be there. I want to photograph Sister Wendy and Headland Beauty as these will be my final two images that I need for my forthcoming book. Also, I want to re-acquaint myself with Hero as I have not seen him for nearly twenty years. This particular engine has a special place in my heart as it was one of the first engines that I photographed 40 years ago when I first attended the Yelverton Rally near Plymouth and I have always liked seeing it.

Just about to go and pull the engine out the shed now - should be a brilliant weekend for all involved and lets hope the weather holds off for at least one day.

We've arrived! Just working out the best place to be! There's a load of beer but the organ is in close proximity
