The Welsh National Tractor Road Run was held over the weekend near Cardigan, attracting an impressive 263 entries.

The 11th national event attracted participants from as far afield as Newton Stewart in Scotland, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Herefordshire as well all corners of Wales, to raise funds for the Wales Air Ambulance, Cardigan first responders and Crymych first responders.

Under the leadership of Dai Rees and the members of the North Pembrokeshire Tractor Enthusiasts, starting from Awenfryn, Glanrhyd (by kind permission of the Evans Family) the tractors went in an anticlockwise direction around the route which was lined by many onlookers taking in the spectacle.
