I was thinking exactly the same! I can only assume the field became more churned since the roller stopped there?! If not then 10/10 for effort to the driver!!!

Sounds like it was a fantastic show and nice to read that people were not disheartened by the relentless British summer weather (again!).

Who said it was a Pickfords trailer, it might be a trailer with Pickfords painted on the side.

And it was muddy! Burrell 3411 could get no further.

Pride of Somerset twice - in scruffy overalls in top pic - and the real Pride of Somerset stuck in the mud in the second.

The best part about the stuck Burrell is that they actualy drove it out later in the day I believe, after a little shoveling!
