It was a lovely day for a ride too, bright and crisp, not too cold and windy.
Southwell Ploughing Match was of course, no where near Southwell. The wildlife trust said it was at South Muskham, so I headed out there. No ploughing match. I rode on to North Muskham, and a quick visit to the nature reserve there, but there was no ploughing going on there either.
A quick look at my phone then revealed that the match, which I thought would be a couple of hundred people and a tea van watching some blokes trundling around a field. It actually turned out that it was at Little Carlton, was the largest one day agricultural show in the county, and cost ten quid to get into. I did see it away in the distance though. That's the only picture you get.
Having "Scottish blood" - OK I'm a bit tight! - that was a bit much for a couple of hours, so I cycled back into town and went to the park for a cup of tea. In no sense a wasted afternoon!

lovely photos. I'm intrigued by the idea of a ploughing match but like you probably wouldn't pay to see it
ReplyDeleteInteresting photos as usual Si. The farmer was very partial to ploughing matches and i used to go along with him but always found it a bit boring. The ones ploughing with horses were best.
