Over a busy 2 days in South Warwickshire, our team including Charlie my grandson, worked damm hard, pulled it altogether and managed to win our class (deep digger) and overall champions of the national steam plough championships. It was very hard work, mainly at the ends lifting and balancing 5 tons of 6 furrow plough with just 2 of us and my grandson Charlie who was massive aid helping unblock the Plough and helping us change ends!

The weather didn't help, making the conditions slippy (watching 25 tons of Z7 steam engine doing a handbrake turn is impressive indeed!

Photos to follow once I'm on my computer!
