The first of the Christmas and New Year Road Run was held on 27th December and the route was round the highways and byways of rural Warwickshire. Starting at Bascote Crossroads, we travelled through some wonderful countryside, including 'green lanes'.
On the first photograph I am at the top of the hill by the church at Ufton, on the final leg.
Here we are travelling the 'green lanes' towards the old iron bridge over the disused Leamington the Rugby railway. This was Marton junction.
This is the old iron trellis bridge over the deep cutting at Marton junction. Max weight on the bridge is 3 tonnes.
The New Years Day run had some 57 tractors on the road. Here we have Ron Turner negotiating the ford at Coughton, almost at the end of the run.
And of course yours truly at the wheel negotiating the same ford.
Mark Jones at the wheel of the Douglas timber tractor owned by S.E. Davis and Son.
Neill Gough and Paul Davis crossing the ford at Coughton complete with passengers. 'Britannia' is the name of the Burrell Road Locomotive.
Chris Beale from Little Comberton in Worcestershire driving his dad's Fordson Major.
Its me again earlier in the run in Dogbutt Lane. Note the damaged exhaust!
