Waiting to perform. Dorset Steam Fair. from 29/08/2012.

If you are looking for an excellent fun and action packed day out for all the family, you'll love the Great Dorset Steam Fair. Traditionally this English fair is held at the village of Tarrant Hinton, near Blandford Forum in the heart of the beautiful Dorset countryside.


Steam engine exhibits, vintage vehicles, heavy shire horses and rural crafts. Working rural displays on a 500-acre site including old time steam funfair. Widely recognised as the leading event of its type in the world with 2,000 exhibits, 800 trade stalls and over 220 full size steam engines. A giant trip of nostalgia into the days of yesteryear.

"As far as motorcycling books go, this stands out among the crowd. It's a really intelligently written and photographed document...I've not seen a bike book this year that can touch this one for its embodiment of two-wheeled grit and glamour....It's untouchable ".


Marc Abbott- Motorcycle News



* Also named by paper as a possible candidate for their “book of the year”, to be decided in December.

A big thank you!  for your support.

THE WINTER MONTHS

The busy season has finished. The winter months are spent maintaining all of the equipment this includes lorry's,Trailers,Generators etc and the massive amount of wood that resides in both of the wall's. Some of the panels will be repaired and external wood work will be repainted. A constant process of improvement and repair. Within the busy winter schedule the parts of another Indian motorcycle lay waiting for completion, the various components dorment, The engine has been rebuilt and the frame repainted. Ken will soon compleat this rebuild and another Indian will be born!
