CHARLIE what a fantastic weekend ,everything went like clockwork,even the weather-men got it wrong ,fine weatherall the weekend CHARLIE thanks for a well organised rally kind regards LEW

Nice to see 'Sunrise' out and about, looks like you had a great weekend.

A fantastic rally on a very good site, even the weather was good. But another year the weather might not be so good.

Some You Tube video and photos I found,
Charlie the Case was outside in Holland for 25 years before that in a museum in America.I bought it from a dealer in Belgium.
Many thanks for a good weekend Charlie.

Had a brilliant day out at Abbey Hill as normal! Was a bit breezy so couldn't run the Mamods on the display but plenty to look at and people to talk to. Really good selection of engines I thought - will upload some pictures and videos later.

A great couple of days. Didn't manage to get there till Sunday and Monday, due partly to over-running on my Land-Rover rewiring project... However, it was up and running by Sunday morning and the rally was as enjoyable as ever - thanks Charlie.

A few pics please John? I didn't get a single one despite new betteries in my camera!

Thanks Steve, some great pictures there. Did anyone get a shot of Percy in front of the Wall of Death?

I paid my first ever visit to this rally on Friday and can only say what nice pleasant show it is with a good range of interesting exhibits.

However I found the sign posts to the event extremely poor (in fact non existant) other than the sign saying "Car park" once you had reached the site.

Great show though.

Jim, we have had a great deal of trouble with road signs this year, having lost around 30 of them due to the Highways dept being idiots. All I can do is apologise. We are looking into AA signage for next year.
If you visit us again in the future might I suggest you try either the Saturday or Sunday? There will be a lot more to see.

Haha, not quite what I had in mind as well you know!;)

Just to say that I did like the Welsh steam coal lovely clean burn.

I love that big Aveling traction and of course an old favourite marshall TE "Little Audrey".

I think my favorite this year was the little Gold Medal, Sunrise - looks so good still on strakes.

I don't have a favourite John, in my eyes they were all fantastic in their own way. Having said that, Sunrise and Excelsior do need a special mention as both owners and crew went above and beyond to attend. For this reason alone Sunrise was awarded best in show.

2012 plans already afoot. See you there.

Charlie.

Have FINALLY got round to putting some videos of Abbey Hill on youtube.
Enjoy
