We love going to steam rallys as a family for all sorts of reasons, John & James like the mechanical stuff.. all that hot, greasy machinery, which is pretty in it's own way, John loves the fun fair, and I like the craft tent and the birds of prey and the sheep dog trials and of course the heavy horses, so there is something for everyone... a great day out and it is Steam rally season Yay! lets hope the weather improves, there is nothing appealing about slopping about in a big muddy field...

Looks like a fantastic time Ann! So much going on! Are the horses steam powered as well???? Looks like JOhn has his sights on an unsuspecting driver in #2! danrav · 2012-05-05: 06:58

Looks like fun for all the family. They do a great steam event at the Weald and Downland Museum near here if you're down this way in August. You can find lots of info here. girafferacing · 2012-05-07: 15:35
