Newby Hall 2017 Tractorfest. Ripon, North Yorkshire

[mo!]

Moors are worth a ride over or a walk on on a nice day, just a generally picturesque area. Best thing to do is look at a map and get off the main through roads onto the smaller ones.


Whitby is your typical seaside town a bit quaint and as said lots of good fish eateries. Further up the coast you have several more nice little seaside villlages such as runswick bay, staithes and south of whitby, robin hoods bay. All worth a visit.

If you like trains there is the moors railway from pickering to whitby. Parts of it were used for the train scenes in the harry potter films.

Plenty of good pubs over on the yorkshire wolds as well for a meal out and if you get in the right places the views over the vale of york are impressive

Just back from a few days in Staithes myself, so missed Tractor Fest. @Drillman has summed it up pretty well. If you've got young ones they would recognise plenty of locations from Old Jack's Boat.

Glorious of course.

Bit damp in the morning then tropical until Monday.

Message @JLTate to get an up to date report from the tractor pikey.

Ground is better than you'd imagine, it's a little sun trap.

Really good event. Seemed to spend more time talking so didn't get chance to look round much, good variety of Fords / conversions though. Plus a couple of nice MB's. Weather was abit hit and miss on the Saturday but didn't make a difference to me, as Neil said - soon dried up. Sunday was a cracking day. Was well worth a visit.

Unfortunately I over cooked it in the beer tent Saturday night so Sunday morning was tough going

Phone battery went on Saturday afternoon which is why its taken awhile to notice the post.
