Lovely setting for a rally. Here are a few not captured above.

Ian i was stood behind 3676 when you took that photo...my son face visible under the number plate!
|
Last minute decision :mad:and problems got in the way, so no Boconnoc for me this year*cry. Hope all had a great time, looks like you did.
|
Anybody got any more pictures of the 6" Mac lurking in the background that they can post please?

Had an absolutely brilliant weekend! The weather couldn't have been better. A great selection of engines as always and nothing beats being able to run around the estate to your hearts content. Hundreds of pictures here:

Best yet, beat that if you can, we had a great weekend driving the sawbench all 3 days,
Steve. |
What happened to Bodicea's Registration Plate? has it been re-registered or is this engine a replica?
|
If you had made the effort to go (who wears the trousers in your house? ) you would have seen it is a scale version Thomas.

WOW,
All I can say, what a show! You Cornish boys have got an amazing show! Very jealous, the show was well layed out, lots to see, great exibits, engine movement, great venue and lots of SUN!!!!!!

As others have said, a fantastic weekend - excellent weather, superb surroundings and the usual unbeatable Cornish welcome, friendliness and camaraderie. My first time as commentator at Boconnoc, and I was delighted to be asked back for next year. Thanks all! |
Looking at those pics John, I'll be offering to carry your bags.......

Good to see Gladiator tucked well into the fair as showmans engines ought to be! Not standing out front on show and as for Charlie D with the timber trailer, with a few tweaks could almost of been taken years ago! |
Gladiator doing the job she was built for and doing it well.... no doubt the old girl steamed to and from Bocconoc too. Its always a pleasure to see this fine engine.
Charlies old SCC looks a real treat too... as always. Jim |
Listen Ian, no need to get personal just because you wear tights to work when driving a class 47!
Regards, Tom. PS: Would you like me to send you a couple of pairs for Christmas? and what colour do you prefer? |

Definitely Boconnoc and now WESES at Stithians are going from strength to strength. Both set on very different but very good sites with roads - we're extremely fortunate in Cornwall to have them. |

Tom, it was big blue bin liners on 47s ! nowadays its water proofs on leaky HSTs ! Youve spent too long staring at the Royal Albert Bridge, now everything looks big to you..... Dont miss West of England as well! ps black fishnet please... |

Ian, I will be at West Of England AND Torbay, both rallies are excellent, and so is Boconnoc - it is just that the latter is at the end of the school term and sometimes like this year falls on the same day as my grandaughters birthday and both my grandchildren live permanently with us. For a smaller rally (around 25 - 30 engines), Torbay is an amazing rally purely due to the variety of engines it produces. Also, it is only 40 minutes drive from home. I will not be going to South Cerney this year as I did not win one of the tickets from Seddon and Black!
Incidentally Ian, at any rally if you see a large red R reg BMW 5 series heading towards you at speed, it will just be me delivering your black fishnet tights. Regards, Tom. PS: Does your wife know about you wearing fishnet tights? |

Now I'm back from the West, couple of pics that I took - Boconnoc is one of the highlights of the year for me.
Good to hear Bo-Peep is staying in Cornwall, and Mr Vincent tells me the engine will continue her WESES rally streak: http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/12...c/DSC_9911.jpg Clinker in front of Boconnoc house: http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/12...c/DSC_9167.jpg tasker_tractor came down with Tasker 1902 via Langport the previous weekend: http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/12...c/DSC_9791.jpg We didn't go to the rally on Sunday but we saw Gladiator and King Harry in full flight on the road returning home, amazing sights. The other good thing is the programme - interesting engine information and wonderful pics from Andrew Williams collection. I hope Andrew or the Boconnoc organisers don't mind me putting a few on here, they are such a treat and I don't remember seeing any of them before: http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/12...rrell-2612.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/12...rrell-2846.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/12...ell-2848-2.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/12...hall-24853.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/12...nt-clayton.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/12...s-taphouse.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/12...uth-crofty.jpg |
God, I am so p***ed off withe not being able to get down this year. Looks like all had a great time. The pic of Clinker is so impresive, its got to be one of my favourite engines. Just look at it, shear bliss.
|
I too thought it was a nice touch to put those working day photos in the program.
