Cheshire Steam Fair (July 14th - 15th, 2018)
This is one of a series of pages I have uploaded to illustrate facets of the steam rallies we have attended in the UK. Click here for the 2018 introduction and overall index.
The Cheshire Steam Rally is run by the same organisation as runs the Ashley Hall and Astle Park Rallies in the same area, so we knew what to expect, a plain vanilla show with a nice selection of engines. We always like to attend different events, however, the risk was always that those attending would be mainly a subset of those seen at the larger Astle Park event the previous year and so it proved for the most part. We had had an early start and found the engines well spaced and perfect for static photography before the crowds arrived. However, with the crowds came the clouds and the midday parade was such that the camera never came out, it was nice to just watch for a change. By now, as the engines returned to their pegs, it was clear that it would be some hours before the sun angle would be conducive to photography even if the clouds melted and so we called it a day. Hence, the pictures are somewhat boring and repetitive..
