FIRST since the Restrictions! Vintage Tractor Run - Through the Water!

Thanks to Alan Hunter, of Hopes Garage in Langwathby, I got to hear of this private tractor-run just for a few friends of Alan, and of the Eden Valley Vintage Tractor Club. They started in Langwathby where I filmed the gathering, then up the hill under the railway, where I got them again. After traversing much countryside and slipping under the A66, they made their way to Morland where I filmed them crossing the river and then on to Shap, I was told. Fish and Chips at Shap or your own tucker!
Filmed in Cumbria, England.
NB Some people wish to know more details of location. I cannot do this because I always assure farmers of anonymity, and they are happy with this. Without it, some would turn me away, to your loss as well as mine!

It's always nice to remember the good old and reliable simple tractors that did their job on the best side! 👏👏👏👏

Nice catch Alan, some lovely old machines there. Can’t beat a stop a Shap Chippy too!

[@balmesh]

You got that right! Although the Shap Chippy isn't what it used to be!

[@jacooboophotography]

This is true, I’ve not been too much since it changed hands.

[@Agriculturespotter]

[@balmesh]

Very true - thanks!

[@IdiotBumpkin]

Was that a Leyland 2100 or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

[@balmesh]

Didn't notice the model number.

[@weegrant1980]

Noticed the exhaust up the back of the Leyland, anyone know why?

[@balmesh]

Fewer fumes?

[@user-kd8bq6rp6p]

Гарна підбірка техніки.

[@balmesh]

Very true - thanks!

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

Nothing here. It's so sad.

[@balmesh]

Shame - though it's not back to normal. No lunch in a country inn, but take away from the Chip Shop or your sandwiches on the grass!

[@agri_film842]

Wow never see it before

[@balmesh]

But it's good to see?
