Steam Ploughing 2016

[Aveling8727]

Few photo's I took on my phone. I was there sunday Mid-day and there was plenty of activity, even though in the distance I could see a few Ploughing Engines leaving on Low Loaders. The weather was brilliant which always makes for a good day.

Entrance



Conventional Ploughing



Some Horse Ploughing









Nice to see John Sawle's Foden Agritractor doing some direct ploughing. Had a very good chat, first time it's been out of Cornwall in over 50 years and the first time its ploughed since being in South Africa in the 1940's I think. It was a very capable machine and did a very nice job of ploughing





nice to see 2 engines direct ploughing





Not sure what the purpose of the Road Loco was at the Ploughing but it was a very impressive machine





Not sure what coal they were burning but it made for some impressive displays







One exhibit I was glad to see was the Fowler that came out of Armley Mills. Here it is when I last saw it in Nov 2011



And at the weekend
