Home   Wenhaston Vintage Tractor Run
4th May 2008
 

On a dry but overcast May morning, the Sunday of the Spring Bank Holiday weekend, some 167 vintage tractors gathered at Wenhaston for the 10th East Suffolk Vintage Tractor Run. The event started and finished on land at Church Farm, Wenhaston (by kind permission of Roger Desborough) and was again a well-organised event bringing pleasure to many and much needed funds to this year’s beneficiaries.

2008 Wenhaston Vintage Tractor Run

The 2008 route featured a lunch stop in Westleton, passing through Dunwich, Eastbridge, Westleton, Darsham and Bramfield along the way. The vintage tractors looked splendid, some bedecked with balloons and flags, some towing trailers so that the family could come along for the ride. As they drove along their way, along country roads and lanes, they were greeted enthusiastically by other road-users and sight-seers.

A DVD of this event is available from Arthur Musk, telephone 01502 478266.

The Blythweb slideshow displays 310 photographs (!!) of the 2008 event:

High Resolution slideshow (1024x768 - really needs a broadband connection)
