Default Haddenham Steam Rally 2016.

The Rally was spoilt by the rain on Saturday but as much as could go as normal did including a weird Xmas theme entertainment on the outside stage in the evening, Sunday it was all go, the ring events with the onsite exhibits, and Threshing ,Sawing and Stone crushing, and with a Heavy Horse show as well.
Thanks to the organisers, exhibitors, volunteers and all involved.

The crane was superb, although looked a little nerve wracking, tipping the bucket over (nearly) onto one's feet!

Highlight of the weekend for me was at the other end of the field though. Note the look of concentration as he clears the firebars with the poker:
