I finally got around to replacing the two offside engine mounting bolts which shook themselves out during last summer's Swedish trip; and cleaned up the spill of insect repellent in the boot, which had grown into white fur over the winter.

Hugh, how I envy you all that padding! Here's what I ride on in the Ulster...

As do the 400 tractors.

Good lord, do the organisers have to have negotiations with the RLO, and go out doing PR with householders en route, as we have to for nav rallies and between trials sections, or do they just set off in a very long line? In fact since we have to keep MSUK happy, and Morgans and AC Sociables dance to the easier tunes of ACU, who is the tractor controlling body? Or can Little Grey Fergies and one pop Field Marshalls race and sprint to their hearts’ content? Anyone else hiding indoors as the workshop is unreachable due to gales and forty five degree very heavy rain indeed, or are that just the delight of South Wales?

Hi Steve

Pretty awful weather here too this morning.  However I’ll put the heater on in the workshop and hope there are no power cuts.

Cheers

Howard

Yes those darned tractor boys charging through our village hooting loud and illegal horns as they pass feet away from our window! If I had my way I'd ban them, the inconsiderate environmental murderers that they are, pouring nitrates into the almost dead river at the foot of our garden and destroying the subsoil with their monstrously overweight machines, grubbing out hedges and ruining the wildlife habitat, propagating their monoculture of tasteless food, generating methane with their intensive husbandry methods and feeding stock on antibiotics to increase weight gain, using enough nicotinoid sprays to wipe out the bee population, complaining about their reduced income, well I've never seen a farmer on a bicycle!
You'll have guessed that I could go on...

I've given up working in the garage for the moment. It's just too cold, and a domestic fan heater seems to make no difference at all. Though today the forecast is eleven degrees! Luckily I can work on 1955 Austin seats in the house. Back on the sewing machine this week.

As for the tractor run, I don't think they need to follow any regulations at all. It's just 800 friends going for a drive in 400 tractors. It raises a lot of money for charity and is to remember one young farmer that died in an accident six years ago. Everyone seems to love it!

Organised by Knaresborough Young Farmers, famed for their sweatshirts a couple of years back, embroidered with the logo
“ Riding the ruts and ploughing the sluts”


RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Ivor Hawkins - 13-03-2023

We have a similar event here in Brackley held at Christmas and the tractors are decorated with hundreds of lights, it’s quite a spectacle and it too raises money for the farm safety charity...out and about in the Austin again yesterday to ring the Church bells, the breeze certainly improves the performance!

I tend to agree Duncan, but for now I'll continue enjoying the fun.
