My Bennington
Posted: Sunday 3 December, 2006
Despite the horrible weather. our carriage driving has taken a significant step forward. Today, Dan's Dad and I braved the storm and headed off to Gleneagles Hotel to pick up our carriage!
It's a Bennington two wheeled gig (I think - I need to get to grips with the types of carriages). It's not new, but it will do us through the winter and next summer. Next winter, we'll put it off the road for six weeks or so for a full strip down and renovation. Dan's Dad is really good at these kind of projects and was working his way round it today, muttering things like "hmm, we'll need stainless steel bolts here" and "definitely brass buckles there" and " a nice bit of coachlining will make all the difference".
It wasn't a day for photography, but if it's decent next weekend, I'll get a photo to put up here.
By the way, thanks to everyone who contacted me with help, advice or contacts about vehicles. Much appreciated.
