catkom3 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 More info here http://www.aea.uk.com/index.php/events/tillage-2010/ ;) By kind permission of Leveret's Farm :of ,are you going Tris : Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Any chance of finding a postcode of the Burgill Farm at Brechin Joe so I can do a multimap ??? From me at AB31 5EG I suppose the most direct and scenic route would be up to Banchory and over the "Slug" road to Edzell. If the weather is decent I may well take the day off in lieu of having to work Sunday. For working a Sunday we should really get two days off but the company I work for are tighter than a fisherman's arxe when it comes to things like that > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Well the BBC weather forecast says it's going to be a day of sunny intevals on Thursday so I think I will be taking the day off and attending this event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 The weather certainly was good Andrew well sunny above but a tad muddy getting into the field. Shame we did not meet up but well it was on held over a few acres. I was just having a coffee and a sandwich at lunchtime when a chap appeared shouting Bill....I'm Mart from FTF. What a pleasant surprise and good to meet up at last and have a chat Mart 8) I know what I'll be spending part of tomorrow doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I was drilling wheat..but look forward to your photos. Did you get your tyres dirty ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Well yes just a little bit John but the old girl will get a make over tomorrow since I have decided I'm going to take the day off as a holiday tomorrow after checking work email's of course. I was going to power wash the car last night after being in Andy Ingram's field on Tuesday night but I thought why bother since I was sure it would be a bit dirty on a "stibble park" The folk that were parking us would have been dangerous if they had had a brain or common sense. They put us against the way the combine had been cutting... by the time I got parked up I was felling sea sick....mind you I suppose a old "sailor boy" like you would have weathered the storm no problem ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Wish it had been my day-off,it looked like a good day, Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 It was very nice indeed Joe I set off at 6.45 am and went up to Banchory and headed to STRACHAN pronounced STRAWN and over the Cairn of Mount through Fettercairn and then Edzell to arrive at the event about one hour later after covering 31 miles with a stop at the "Fettery Shop" in Fettercairn for the local newspaper the press and Journal. Went back home via the main dual carriage way from Brechin stopping off at a Model warehouse at Portlethen which I think I will need to revisit again shortly ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
