Somerset Road Run
Missed this of course as we were already on our way, but thanks for trying. We got sufficient information at the show site to intercept the run and spent a pleasant afternoon watching the lanes and main roads getting gently clogged, mostly with ic vehicles although eventually we saw a steam car, three traction engines and three steam wagons. There would have been more engines on the road in the general area on the Friday as several exhibits arrived under their own power.
By the time we left the site at 21.30, there were 23 steam engines present, I believe the programme listed 27 and maybe more would have arrived by opening time.
It was wet (very) on Friday night and with at best a cloudy Saturday forecast, I confess we slipped home. However, if you're in the area, the Sunday forecast is much better...
