This was the first one we came across after climbing the steps to the Abbey and onto the headland.
One man and his dog and parrot!
I caught these next three coming on to the field.
How about one of these for a project Stanley. It was the smallest traction engine I came across, you can judge the size from the chair it's next to.
I thought you might like these wagons as well Stanley.
I have never seen one of these before, all fully automated including the bellows and keys of the accordions.
Fin liked the tractors.
Lots of static engines, mainly small diesel workhorses.
The lady owner looks like she was eyeing me up for the mincer.
One here driving a cut out demonstration model.
Anyone need a portable generator?
A menagerie of bikes to drool over.
Royal Enfield 250 Trials, based on the my first bike the 250 Crusader, built like a tank.
Nicely presented early Bantam.
A small cluster of auto-cycles.
Then round the corner I found this. 1970 Honda 175 K3 twin in Polychromatic Blue. It's in perfect showroom condition and shows 5 miles on the clock! I chatted to the owner who said he bought it form a gent who had kept it for the 9 years he had it in his front room. It was still there when the present owner collected it. He would not say how much he paid for it, probably well into the thousands. I wish I still had my 250 version in the same condition.
The kids enjoyed the day at the fair, there was a lot to see including tractor pulls, birds of prey flying with a selection of Owls and various other events. There were lots of stalls selling tools and equipment and just about everything else you could ever want. All manner of food available and a decent funfair with some of the latest rides and a nice mix of more traditional fairground attractions. We came away thinking that our £20 family ticket for two adults and three kids was well worth it for the attractions on offer.
