Hi,

Well the rally is certainly on, I roaded my roller & Stuart took his Garrett Showmens Tractor over yesterday in readiness. I believe Douglas will be roading his Aveling Traction over on Friday & Roger will have his Aveling roller bath chaired over later on.

There are two Garrett's are stabled in Twyford, along with a Wallis roller & maybe making their way down Friday evening too?


Regards,

Dan

Weather looks better for Friday after a wet Thursday. Ground dries quite quickly.

I intend to leave Bursledon Brickworks about 11:30 ish. Heading uphill to Curbridge, into Botley and then the Fair Oak road. Over the hill to Fishers Pond and left through the back of Colden Common. Stop at the Dog and Crook to take on water, then on to the rally site. Should be there mid afternoon.

Excellent, thank you,

You all will be seeing me hopefully at some point pointing a camera, or 2, at your engines.
