The Great Dorset Steam Fair is a truly huge event, so these views are only a sample of what is on show:
The Millenium Wheel in the fairground dominates the horizon
Looking towards the Showmen's area from Organ Alley
Scrapheap Challenge comes to the Great Dorset; Presentor Robert Llewellyn has a laugh with the production team. The teams had to make 'Welly Wanging' machines! I heard that it will be shown next March.
Sheer power - This demonstration of multiple engines thunders around the Heavy Haulage arena
Crowds gather to watch the Heavy Haulage
More Heavy Haulage
A penny or a farthing for your thoughts!
Steam threshing
The Heavy Horse section demonstrates some traditional farming techniques
...er...the less said about this, the better!
A section of the Showmen's engine line up
A highly polished engine!
The Olde-Tyme fairground
The Cakewalk
Howard's Gallopers
The Chiappa organ in Harry Lee's Steam Yachts
