SOMERSET STEAM SPECTACULAR July 16th - 18th

What a shame, guys.
We went to the Ackworth Steam Festival in W.Yorks.
I viewed the trip with trepidation as only 6 steam engines were being exhibited, but wanted to browse round the Autojumble.
We got there 10 minutes after the gates opened - 10.10 - and left at around 2 pm, there was so much to see.
The autojumble was the only disappointment - ideal for the pile of rusty bits for the Basingstoke show!
Some nice classic bikes on show and some interesting Combinations, no trikes though. We loved all the miniature steam engines that were running around
Weather started out very overcast, we had one shower and in the afternoon the sun came out.
Now we're looking forward to the Driffield show. We'd like to go to the Pickering show, but I'm having a cataract operation 2 days before
Cheers

I really enjoy steam fairs -must be an age thing!
If you have enough photos for a gallery we'd be happy to run them in the event photos section of the site -once we get it up & running again.
