Very cool day out peeps

Been many times over the years, even taken an exibit or two. Not going this year due to one thing or another.
There is a smaller gathering of traction engines at Bishops Castle in Shropshire in a couple of weeks and there is the transport wotsit in Birkenhead very soon. I think at the latter they where trying to get some more exibits that worked in the area in days gone by, not sure if they had any look though !.

Any pic's of Malpas ?.

I went last year. it was really really good

Been too see all the boys toys this year and now have to go to whats left of the Flower shows ugh!

Just come back, havent been for years, great afternoon out. Loads to see and do, my missus says that the troop carrier FOR SALE wouldnt fit in the drive, i beg to differ!!!!
Steam, classic cars, mini locos, commercials, agricultural and trade/craft stalls. Too much for me. Took the camera but forgot to use it!!!! Have to get my two mobile workshops down there next year.

Found out I am going to a flower show at Harrogate on Friday 17th and to the Vale vintage machinery steam and country show at the Rhug Corwen on Saturday 18th Sept so I will enjoy that and enjoy it even more if the cheese guy from Windsors of Whitchurch is there as 1kg of Cheshire cheese is £4.89p,Chedder is about £5.68 a kilo mmmmmmm drool but then at Harrogate if the guy from the same area with his Rhubarb and Chilli chutney is there then mmmm .

Nice pictures,we went to the Rhug/Corwen steam rally the other week,I prefer the stationary engines but still love the big steam one's,well anything with an engine,steam or otherwise I enjoy,even the scenery was superb.

It would be nice if there was once again some good Steam rallys in our area, there used to be.
One reason may be that in the main the rallys are run by traction engine owners, and it's a sad fact that in our area now a days there are almost no engine owners at all !.
In the wirral, Chester and Liverpool area as far as i know there are only three traction engine owners,(apart from Liverpool museum) and two of them keep their engines in Shropshire, and these engines are out of action as they are getting new boiler's !.
In days gone by there where loads of engines in the area !.

the birkenhead park on last weekend wasnt bad

Went to Malpas once and met Fred Dibnah
