Great Dorset Steam Fair 2013

[Ian Fletcher1970]

I visited this event today (Part 1) Was well worth it as usual - excellent weather and very dusty - a stark contrast to last years opening day washout! Here's a few pictures. Hoping to meet up with Jeremy Rowland for Part 2 on Friday.

Just got back from Dorset.
The best thing there was the road roller collection, very impressive.Got invited the other side of the fence in the work area for a chat.Nice to see and have a chat Julian Carder after many years
The downside of this years event were the stalls,spoke to some owners, they are being priced out by the Dorset organizers, Many gaps in that section. The plant display was good with the R B's and Howell Masons TD15. Very dusty conditions with stewards wearing dustmasks. Another highlight was a chap sitting in a portaloo with his trousers around his ankles exposing himself when he did not look the door.A hundred people in the toilet que were in histericks.
My legs are sore and I am covered in dust, my daughter informs me that we walked 9000 steps today.
A good show but they need to keep the stalll holders happy, Welland had much better quality stalls.
Off to bed now, got to be up at 0430 for work on Sunday.Will post some photos soon

Some good photos and thanks for posting. I like the Whitlock loading the Thames, the dawg looks comfy.

The Inchgreen must be rare, is that the machine talked about on here a few years back?

Here's the link for any newbies like myself.....Inchgreen Backhoe Loader you will love it.....Its well worth a look.

I think these excellent photo's need adding to the thread to keep up the records
