I’m really hoping that members update this thread with route progress and news as well as @Pennine Ploughing. Be lovely to follow along what’s happening along the different steps of the journey.

There’ll probably be a whole photo section devoted to cakes along the way!!

Good point there, I also wanted people to post on here throughout the run,
and I asked TFF team, if it would be possible for me to pay for a TFF mug to be sent to the picture with the most likes of the tractor on route,

The TFF team was so helpful, that they said they would supply 3 mugs free of charge, and post them out to the 3 photos with the most likes, this is open to all TFF members to post any pictures they get of me on route, Thats very good of TFF, thank you for this offer
I will update route details in more detail before i set off,

Here is a map of the Intended route around all the rural counties of England,
I do know it is not in great detail, however it is the route, and will give any of the members on here an idea if its close to you, the red dots, are the expected night stop over points, if all goes to plan,

I have had a PM to day asking for contact details for me for a none TFF member, to contact me direct,
so If anyone wants to contact me direct then email me at [email protected] putting "charity tractor run" in the subject box,
or you can call me on 07901820860,

Ps, there is many benefits of being a member on TFF, and for 1 thing, members see far bigger pictures than none members,
and other things as well, and being a member does not mean you have to post on TFF, but if you are a member, you can if you so wish,

just an update, have now got the tractor finished, and will be posting pictures once the graphics have arrived and been fitted,
I am now working on the trailer as time allows, in between work and sorting things to do with the run,
Thank you for the offers of help from members on here,
I have now got the west side of the country about sorted I hope, and will depend on how I get on on route,

If anyone can help on the east side, please pm me, thanks

Got a Facebook page for this? Could go pretty viral. Plenty of farming groups on there.

Edit: Also crowd funding.

yes I have a Facebook page set up for this, it's "National Tractor Road Run" it's a group page that you need to search for,
tickets for the raffle will be on sale shortly on TFF so members can buy tickets on here, all money raised will go to Cancer research UK, there is no costs coming off,
and none members or people on Facebook can donate there through just giving,
