Phil and Austin stare at some lawn mowers.

Just me and Phil on an impromptu mid-week meet today. More talk, coffee and cakes than biking and A LOT of lawn mowers.

The pride of the collection....

Racing mowers.

Health and safety.... Not

Some other interesting exhibits

Plus loads more....little Villiers engines in abundance, Rolls Royce Mowers, chain saws, some other ex-celebrity mowers (yawn). All in all quite interesting. Did you know chains weren't invented until the 1870s? I didn't.

Good day out, the rain held off and not too windy.

Glad the weather held of and without a doubt you certainly learnt something new today hopefully next time

Ahhhh, the cutting edge of technology


Quite bizarre , some of those machines.
Well done lads



You have too much time on your hands

An interesting if quirky museum but for 3 quid definately worth a visit

As for too much time... It's either that or being dragged into doing 'stuff' round the house!

Yeah tell me about it Phil

Been at it for far too long ( doing "stuff about the house " )
Went out for a blast over the Struie last weekend , lots of ice about in sheltered glens.
Looks like you and Austin had reasonable weather, thanks for posting

Nice!

Seeing the picture of the old Allen Scythe reminded me of watching one while in junior school as it chopped effortlessly through a 3/4 -1 inch iron railing. I tried not to think what it would do to a wayward finger

Would that be the one in Hinckley?
