Head up for those of you in North Dorset, S-W Wilts, SE Somerset and N-E Devon

[Matthew Arnold]

Saw a large contingent of very very swanky transit vans with trailers (some with horse boxes with horses in) heading on sharpish from Blandford in the general direction of Shaftesbury. The majority of them had a tree surgery sign of some sort and/or roofing/fencing tarmacing livery. Didnt get reg numbers but police have been informed. Just want to give you guys the heads up.

They'll be going to Appleby horse fair

They arrived on the Kinston Lacey estate over the weekend, and were camped up under the famous avenue of pollarded beeches on Sunday and Monday nights. This morning they'd vanished like the dew in the morn, but (to my surprise) there didn't seem to be any refuse left behind, and didn't seem to be any damage done, at least not that I could see.

 

I dunno how the Nat Trust managed to move them on so quick, unless of course they just went of their own accord.

 

All the vehicles seemed to be transits with chip boxes or transits signwritten for tarmacing/roofing. The usual tethered ponies were also present.

Ok it was more like 2.5 forwarder loads but I hid some of the bigger bits in the bottom of the hedge for insect habitat!
