Carry on Ploughing!

A warm welcoming breeze, flat sandy land next to the river North Tyne and a packed lunch with flask, perfect recipe for a good mornings work.
The days event was organised by Charlie Halliday (top left) on behalf of the Northern Area Vintage Ploughing Association and hosted by Park End Farms.
The atmosphere between the contestants was that of a great sporting event, keenly observing their opponents progress whilst offering a few pieces of 'helpful' advice to those who might look just a little too confident.
It is so good to see young people involved in rural happenings like this, they give the more experienced contestants cause to worry!

Winners were Ian Thompson of Holme in Lancashire and Ray Alderson of Bolam near Darlington won the trailer class.
