The Pink Ladies Tractor run For Breast Cancer

Hi There
First of all - sorry for Chugging

My lovely wife Emma has a small grey Fergie tractor, which is a year younger than us (and is thus very old!).

She is driving it on the 10th Ladies Tractor Road Run this Sunday in aid of Breast Cancer research -

Last year Emma collected £1300 - she has a Just Giving page where you can make donations (pretty Please).

There will be 150 Tractors this year, and overall they've raised more than £250,000 in the 10 years that it's been running.

Every little bit counts and it it would be wonderful if anyone could see their way to making a small donation - THANK YOU.



Is it going to rain? Apparently NOT


Here is Emma on her Fergie


This is the column - lead by Annie Chapman who started it all


Here is a sample of the tractor decoration - this flashes and goes round and round!

This is the Ladies Tractor Road Run Website


Many thanks in advance - I'll be posting photos on Sunday night (guess what my job is!).

we hope Team Slack had a safe and successful drive :thumbup:

here's a snap of a not so lucky team whose tractor went off the road (at a different time and a different place, nothing really to do with the Pink Ladies Tractor Road Run except it is a tractor and it is red)

Thank you So Much for the donations -

you know who you are!
It was a fantastic day - very hot - and went off really well.

If anyone would still like to make a donation:

It's an interesting challenge as a photographer, getting 160 decent pictures of pink tractors coming at you at a rate of 1 every 8 seconds - AF won't work (because it focuses on the front of the tractor) - whatever.

Here are some shots of Emma at strategic points:


At the Brockdish water splash


Arriving at Gawdy Hall


Out in the Fields


Arriving at the finish line



here is a small version of the group shot:
