Don't suppose many of you see these on your rides...

Thought I'd share this with you.

Whilst in my ride today, it was a beautiful day, warm, wall to wall sunshine, clear blues skies and everyone was out indulging in their own recreation.

Also my fist attempt at uploading a video, from my Christmas pressy that wifey bought me.

When i cycled through Dunkerque, i saw a farmer ploughing his field with a shire horse pulling a plough!

every week, usually on manchester road near burnley / rawtenstall, once saw them outside a pub in haslingden. once the old horse n trap was seen legging it thru crawshawbooth at full tilt (surprisingly scary) without a driver!! never seen that particular horse since. most times it's a 2 wheel trap but sometimes a cart, sometimes 2 traps and nags.

You're right P.I.Spain, Gypsies are about the only ones in the UK you're ever likely to see.
Thats probably why i took this one in Uruguay...it seemed so 'quaint'..

Nice video quality BTW, nice and smooth despite being off road. I'd be happy with that.

Cheers, the cam is fixed to the handle bars as the strap is too short to fit around my helmet (stop sniggering).

I shall be posting some more on YouTube, to hopefully give ya'll a flavour of Spain away from the coast.

Nice little vid, but hardly a donkey, in fact that looked like an expensive rig.

Yep, saw that in Poland as I passed through the countryside on a 1953 built steam loco (no really, I did!).

Almost got caught in horse and cart traffic smash just outside my village last year.

And we don't have to put up with that irritating sunshine in January! So there.

Unfortunately not at the moment, very dull and overcast...........................but not for long

I saw a small horse and cart going up a hill in Spondon, just outside Derby a few weeks ago. Only ever seen it the once. Think i was on the bus though, not the bike :/

You see lot's of them if you have pikeys living in your area

The video quality is good. May we know the camera?

There's a farmer up in Yorkshire who still ploughs with Shire horses. I haven't got a source handy, but it was in (I think) the Dalesman mag a year or so back.

It's the B'twin Snipe from Decathlon, cost €60 here in Spain.
