I would think it is just where the ground hasn't been trampled on, or poached I think the term is.

Well we had fun getting out. Got off the feild ok but there was loads of mud on the road going up the hill we were sideways a lot of the time but kept it going. Then out on the road there is a steep hill to negotiate. We'd cleaned the wheels as best as we could, but there was mud on the road and starting to go down it was slipping so chocked up and waited for a tractor to come from the site to act as an anchor. Just wasnt worth the risk as its a long old hill! makes you see the advantages of rubber tyres!

Thanks Kev, the camera was being very generous in that light, still a lot of cosmetic detail to put right but that will have to follow the mechanical!



Cheeseroller & I had a very good run there on the friday, 42 miles in 11 hours with three water stops to fill the tender and cart from 2cubes on my uncle's trailer. Rocket power was provided by Andy Holmes' Welsh steam coal! A few problems raised their head as would be expected on an engine that's not been on a long run since being dismantled - all of which was sorted at the roadside without a huge amount of delay.

Welcome to TT Mr. Stokes, wondered how long it would be before you made an appearance. Thistledown looks just the job now with new awning and new/old number plates. Looking forward to roading her soon.

thistledown was cooling gently in her shed when I called in on way from work Monday afternoon. It was a good w/e, pity about the weather.
