The popular annual event, organised by Masham Young Farmers Club, will once again travel through villages and countryside across the Harrogate district and Wensleydale on Sunday (17th May).

The event will again be supporting the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

The full route is as follows, with timings yet to be revealed:

  • Start – Thornton Watlass Crossroads

  • Newton-le-Willows
  • Finghall
  • Hunton (left over the bridge)
  • Barden Moor (left towards Leyburn)

  • Finish – Fearby

A lunch stop will take place at Leyburn Auction Mart, where hot sandwiches, chips, gravy and drinks will be available.

Organiser Ciaran Imeson, Chairman of Masham YFC, said:

“Masham YFC is Supporting the Yorkshire Air Ambulance as we believe it is a great charity to support because it is vital, life saving service in our rural communities including farmers.

“As many farming families live in remote places in Yorkshire where there limited road links for emergency services, so having access to the Air Ambulance means these people still have the same support if they are involved in an accident or incident where they need help.”

The event will conclude in Fearby with a BBQ, drinks and a prize giving ceremony.

Entry costs £15 for tractors and £10 for passengers. To take part, contact Cieran Imeson on 07526541116.
