Jessie The Jeep Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Decided that re-waterproofing my Roughout Boots was probably a good idea for this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughman Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Seen a few vehicles passing my house on the North Ring Rd today and a couple on the A59 from the A1. Weather forecast is not too good. I intend turning up to have a look though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I've just finished unloading, after arriving home about an hour ago. Still got the unpacking to do :-( Considering the forecast, I think we got away with it fairly well. While there were heavy downpours and thunder, I think it was dry more than wet during the days. Big thanks to all the YMVT guys who made the show happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughman Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well done to all who attended. I had a wander around on the Saturday and was most impressed with the standard of work that has been carried out. Just wondering now how to get our 1941 Diesel Loco to take part in something in the future. The easiest would be the NYMRs War time weekend. The gun caught a number of people out with the noise. Wondering if this was a good move or not in firing it. As the local residents have managed to get restrictions placed on a number of Motor sports events.

I would have thought the same remarks applied to the plonkers with the sirens, if the enemy mortars didn't get you your own troops certainly would.

Vulture Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Went along on the Sunday and had a most enjoyable time. Wish the weather had been better, but it didn't spoil the day. Managed a photo op with the 25pdr late on the Sunday for a combination you don't often see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie The Jeep Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Not bad for holding the camera above my head, over the top of everyone else. I couldn't really see the screen very well, so I'm pleased with what I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
