My Favourite local day out of the year is "The Wasdale Head Show"
I have help to organise it for a number of years but this year I wanted to introduce something new -- a vintage section !! I was given the go-ahead by the rest of the committee and am pleased to say that it was a great success with 44 entries on this our first year !!

|  | The Wasdale Head Show was traditionally a shepherds meat and it is still Very Much a sheep show -- the only sheep on show are the indigenous Herdwick breed -- said to have come to Cumbria with the Vikings !!!! |
This year we also has a sheep shearing demonstration and it was also a great success | | | sheep shearing demonstration |

| | The fell race again drew a big crowd -- the winner, Nick Fish did the return run to the top of Kirk Fell ( 2500 feet) in 38 minutes !! |
The line up of the Classic cars and it has to be said -- a classic setting too !!!! | | | The line up of the Classic cars |

| | Another Great crowd puller is the terrier race -- a bit of a dangerous sport, especially if you are holding the brush !!!! |
