Sorry for the late notice ... Only climbed aboard myself the other day.
Tomorrow is the Chipping Steam Fayre at Chipping, Lancashire (nr Preston). A
"grand day out" for the family ... Steam traction engines and things of that
nature. Oh ... There'll be a load of SAABers there! A good contingent from
Yorkshire to meet the chaps from the Lancashire SOC.

finally got there, but that's another story. I'll post some pictures later
on.

After the show, the engines make their way into town for some food and more
importantly, liquid refreshment .... Lots of liquid refreshment ... And then
drive back afterwards :)

... Some steam engines:

The local YFC and their nutty tractors! Roaring V8s, over-tuned and too fast
for purpose! Nice :)
