Went to the Berkeley steam rally today and was disappointed. Did not seem to be so many exhibitlors and not very many people. It could be the unsettled weather put people off but I think it is the location. This is the second year at Berkeley - use to be at North Nibbly and certainly more people appeared to attend. It is great to see the old steam engines, classic cars, lorries and vans, and many stalls selling everything you can imagine.
I cycled to the show and then cycled round all the events and the bike certainly got photographed a lot, asked many questions and a lot of people just shaking their heads. I have will upload some photos tomorrow of some of the old pushbikes I saw at the show.
I got a new flag pole and a skull and crossbone flag and a bee spinner - will put pictures on line tomorrow. The stall holder from Devon when he heard I was cycling for charity knocked £3.00 of the total price - much appreciated.
Sam Walker from McCambridge group donated £10. Thank you very much Sam and all the best for the future. The money is appreciated and will make a difference.
I need to buy a lead and then will be able to use my eBay GPS to plan routes - will keep you updated on progress.
NOT LONG UNTIL JULY 1ST WHEN I START MY CYCLE WITH ALL MONEY RAISED GOING TO WILTSHIRE AIR AMBULANCE.
TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE
