Castle Combe Steam Rally (17th - 18th May, 2014)
This is one of a series of pages which I have uploaded to illustrate facets of steam rallies we have attended in the UK. Such events occur all over the country in the summer months, they are easily found by using your favourite search engine and may have anything between a handful of steam engines and hundreds (as at the Great Dorset Steam Fair which could probably be fairly described as having an excess of riches). Click here for the overall index for 2014.
Castle Combe is a 'small rally' without working engines and the steam road engines sit around and then have a brief moment of glory doing a couple of circuits of the arena. Many of the exhibits not surprisingly we had seen at South Cerney in 2013. We allocated an afternoon session having been to the Westonzoyland Pumping Museum in the morning and this was sufficient. Fortunately the weather was kind and it was warm and sunny throughout.
