Great Yorkshire Show

My first visit to the Great Yorkshire Show today and I don't think I have seen everything in the showground despite being there all day, this really is a large show.  The two fine beasts in the picture are spotlessly clean as each owner spends hours washing, combing and drying their magnificent animal before entering the enclosure for evaluation by the judge..

Trans-Pennine Historic Vehicle Run

It was the forty third Trans-Pennine Historic Vehicle Run last Sunday. Buses, coaches and lorries travelled from Heywood in Lancashire across the pennines to Harrogate in Yorkshire. The route passed through several towns and cities including Bradford, but I went along to the Stray in Harrogate for a closer look. There were a number of unusual vehicles including a 1920 Fowler steam traction engine, this recovery vehicle caught my eye though, it's in the original blue and cream livery of Bradford City Transport.
