The Long Haul Run 14/04/24

To mark the 30th Anniversary of the unveiling of The Shap Fell Memorial and in association with Shap Memorial Trust a road run was held on sunday 14th with a variety of vintage commercial vehicles taking part, starting out from Carnforth A6 Truckstop and following the A6 through Kendal and over Shap Fell to Shap, the run was filmed just next to site where the famous Jungle Cafe once stood, thanks for watching and hope you enjoy.

Brilliant video matey brought back many happy memories of travelling the old A6. What made me laugh was the Mini making more noise than the Leyland Clydesdale.

So you have found a new hobby Nige, some nice vehicles in there and great to see such a great turn out and it stayed dry, there is an even older road snaking up along the A6 too mainly classed as a a green lane, cheers Steve . 👍🙂

Nice one. Good to see the oldies. The old clock that used to be at the summit is now at Kendal somewhere.

[@nige7577]

Thanks David, haulage has certainly changed a lot over the years, the Leyland Clock is now situated at the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal, it wasn’t at the summit David it used to be just up the road from where I was by the corner where you drop into the dip before climbing to the summit and mark the halfway point between John O’Groats and Lands End, cheers 👍

@@nige7577 Thanks for that.

More vintage HGVs! 😀
And not quite so heavy, but the BT Maestro van at1:25is very nostalgic too. Actually the Land Rover going the other way would fit right in as well

[@nige7577]

Thanks Andrei, a nice variety indeed and the BT Maestro was a very common sight back in the day, yes well spotted there, cheers 👍

Love the blue articulated tanker who I seen on Saturday heading North on the M6 as I passed by on the WCML with 4S44 in heavy rain! Big fan of Maestro's and Leyland Clydesdale's!

[@nige7577]

Thanks Lynden, yes that one is a beauty and would stand out on the M6 even in the rain, there was a nice variety of vehicles as well, chy👍
