South Cerney. 2012
 
The highlight for me this year. The weather has played a big part in destroying the rally show's, but not this one. I had a lovely time enjoying the engines in a relaxed atmosphere, and meeting several TT members. Hope these bring back some memories for those who were there, and if you have'nt been ,maybe this might convince you.

Thanks to Mark and Steve for your excellent photo's.
I had an enjoyable day there last year.
Choose to come to Pickering this year, hadn't been for 10 yrs, not a bad show but strange not to have a program.
Will post some photo's next week when I get home with better internet.
Cheers and thanks
Arthur

I've just returned from Sourth Cerney myself so I thought I'd throw these two up here as well to complement all the excellent pictures that's already been shared.

I'll be adding my full collection of photo's from this weekend to my website over the next few days so keep checking for further updates

Here is the Hindley returning from a stroll around the peri track plus a few others from this morning, including the 2 Irish visitors.

Steam Scenes 5th August 2012 09:00 PM

I think it was the finest year yet for the variety of engines, at least 5 that I have never seen before and several more that don't see the rally field that often. thumbsup

steaming my way 5th August 2012 09:31 PM

Had a fantastic weekend! Thanks Matt and co, for putting on a great show! Weather wasnt always great but the quality and qauntity was top class! The road run into South Cerney on Saturday was great in the evening sunshine, and the fish and chips top quality! Thanks also to Rich for letting me follow Hawkes, on friday, what a beautiful engine! Roll On 2013

Pedlers mate 5th August 2012 09:32 PM

Just got back, engines safely in shed. What a fabulous three days! Met several TT'ers I hadn't met before and enjoyed the company of enginemen from the earliest days of rallying, some of whom had roaded Pedler with Sam Love and re-kindled memories by driving her again, magic! Thanks must go to Matt and his team for a wonderful weekend. South Cerney has to be among the best rallies in the country. Will try and post some photos later.

ttp2011 6th August 2012 03:10 AM

Great phots from all concerned and many thanks for sharing them with us. Just one observation, Late Westerns shot of Old Tim seems to have been taken from a very low angle, Ian were you drunk and lying down or were you sunbathing? I am surprised that it was sunny as the rain always seems to follow you!

Seriously, all of you have inspired me to try and attend South Cerney next year and in case you are wondering, the banter between myself and Late Western is always lighthearted as we use to work together over twenty years ago and I knew Ian's father and like a lot of other railwaymen had a lot of respect for him.

avelingporter 6th August 2012 08:00 AM

Cracking rally, roller worked quite well really for first time out. A few teething problems, but nothing too serious. Roaded 6 miles to the base and although we had a few issues, he went very well for the first time.

Massive thanks to Matt for all of his very hard work to put on such a show. Had a great time and a good laugh.

Cheers.

Douglas

Finally, some dodgy characters seen lurking around the backs of engines, they seem familiar, have they been on Crimewatch?

Thanks Matt for all your hard work! Our first steam rally and first time attending for our 5 month old too! If you ever think of running a creche for engine families and their teams, then I'd be happy to help.
