Firstly some general shots around the site.

Steam could even be found in the far corner of the site:

And its always nice to hunt around the site and find some gems like this miniature steam engine built by Charles Farris over 100 years ago and seen in the Granfers Day tent:

Thanks. thumbsup

Cheers

Fantastic collection of pictures. Almost all completely different to mine, thank you for posting.

Good set of pictures. Don't feel as though I missed the show this year now.

Hi

The last pic of the ploughing engine in front of the fair is great! Thanks for posting!

Cheers

Dave

great photos, mine all seem rubbish now!

did anyone happen to get a photo of the red fowler roller "ollie" in the ring on saturday?

Great pics Steve. Hog roast looked good! What it's all about.

Glad you all like the pictures. It was another brilliant Dorset and certainly avoided any doubts I had that it could live up to last year!

Matt - I always think that about my pictures when I see everyone elses! Be great to see yours as well if you can post them.

the chaps in the saw pit usually organise one over the weekend

Just a couple I took

That Oshkosh was a seriously impressive machine! And a nice contrast to all the old Diamond T's.

It sounded great, and the transfer box was the biggest I have ever seen!

Here are a few that I took during the week.
