Hunton Steam Gathering 2023

One the Last Rallys of the season before the cold weather sets in and what an evening it was outside the beer tent with a huge crowd of folks enjoying the generating drinks & banter that can be found at steam rally up and down the country. If you look closely at 2.14, 2.21 & 2.41 you can see in the distance lighting striking the earths surface on one the last hot summer nights before the almighty rain down pour which came down on the sunday evening around 5pm. We take a ride on the lovely preserved steam gallopers which happened to be running off of a generator!
However it was still impressive to see the Gallopers & the big wheel all lit up at night. James Ragsdale gives a quick tour of his Garrett showman's engine. Then on the Sunday morning Andrew Beal Man of Steel can be seen blacking it over at the ploughing match with his McCormick B275 along with the other competitors & a pair of Fowler Ploughing engines. we also take a close look at a Farmall Super bmd.
Hunton Steam Gathering is run by the locals to raise money for various things in the local community as well as donations to many different charities, including Marie Curie, Macmillan, Yorkshire Air Ambulance, the local village school, Parish Council, local projects and local Scout groups.
Over the years Hunton steam gathering has grown to be the largest annual event of its kind in Richmond-shire. One of the true beauty’s of the show is that it’s organised by a volunteer committee and operates as non-profiting aspect using the money for local benefits.
