High Weald Steam Working Weekend 2023 (Heavy Haulage)
The High Weald Steam Working Weekend is still a new show with this only being its 2nd year. The show is at Danehill in East Sussex. The Show Features lots to offer from Classic and Vintage Vehicles, Tractors, Trucks, Traction Engines, Steam Rollers, Stationary Engines to the best part of the show for many visitors the Heavy Heavy Haulage goes around the showground and is pulled by different forms of motive power this being Tractors, Heavy Haulage Trucks and of course Steam engines like Steam Rollers, Traction Engines and Road Locomotives. There was plenty of variety as well with the loads on the trailers some having logs on and some having Heavy Machinery on like a Old Diesel Roller and a Diesel Crawler there was even a Railway Wagon Chassis on one trailer.
There was displays such as Stationary Engines powering Old Farming Equipment like Water Pumps, Corn Grinders and much more. There was also Old Fashion Threshers and Hay Bailers powered by Portable Steam Engines and Tractors. Another display was the Road Making where they would use a Rock Crusher and crush bricks and concrete to be used on a road surface and compacted by a Steam Roller. A wood sawing display was there where big logs would be sawed up on a bench powered by a Traction Engine.
The special guests at the show was the Passion Tracteur et Collection (Passion Tractor and Collection) which was a group of 15 Tractors that had come all the way from France a place called Gournay-en-Bray to Danehill the trip was 107 kms excluding crossing the channel which took them 3 days of driving.
A big thanks to all the Event Organizers, The Sussex Steam Engine Club and Exhibitors for putting on a great show which is one of the best I have been to in a few years.
