Had a nice trip down to Much Marcle yesterday for the first time. Really enjoyed myself at this laid back, relaxed event with plenty of engine movement.

Ill definitely be going back next year.

Just got home- great time.
The picture of the wheel on the plough is what we used to call "agricultural tolerances " Even a bit more than Z26.

To The Pirate (5th picture) - it looks like Bailey has a hand and forearm hanging out of his mouth!
Good to see your Dad behind the wheel.

Cheers Carl.

In the States if you sit on your peg for more than a half hour an official will wander up and ask why you are not moving.
They say they put a show on for the public and they like to see things moving. I asked about the public and the answer was - they have eyes, ears and I have a b++= great whistle.
Different from here where several rallies will not allow movement at all or only with a yellow jacket in front - in case you run someone over!!!
If they cannot see a full size engine approaching or a miniature for that matter, then they should not be allowed out on their own.
Rant over for the time being.

Are you still banned from Welland if you go to Much Marcle?

Perhaps they didn't tell them.
One person let slip they were going from one to the other and met with resistance.
He then pointed out that THEY had asked HIM to attend.
