The weekend saw the Cumbria Charity Convoy and Gathering taking place at Clifton Dykes south of Penrith, writes Paul Grindley.
Saturday morning saw the convoy taking place, with tractors and trucks leaving Clifton Dykes on a 28-mile circular route passing through off Eamont Bridge, Langwathby, Culgaith, Temple Sowerby, Kings Meaburn before returning to Clifton Dykes.
Once the vehicles were back on site, the show field was open to the public, to view the vehicles as well as lawn mower racing demonstrations, tractor pulling and tractor dyno testing, were tractors are hooked up to technology to see what horse power their engines have.
There were also fair rides for children, as well as entertainment and adult disco.
Sunday saw the lawn mower racing, tractor pulling, tractor dyno testing taking place again along with fun fair rides and the trucks and tractors to view.
Many of the truck drivers were kept busy polishing their trucks, their pride and joy, to keep them in tip top conditions as well as giving the drivers the chance to catch up with friends and colleagues as well as showing off their vehicles new and old.
Despite the wet weather, there was still a good crowd of people in attendance at the event which was raising money for the Great North Air Ambulance and the Cumbria Cancer Care Unit at Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle.
