    Went down to the Innishannon Steam Rally today. If you are in Cork tomorrow, bank holiday monday, check it out its a visual delight. It has everything Grubby kids, Fairgrounds, steam driven automobiles, tractors, classic cars, set dancing, tug of war. I have never had so much fun and so visually interesting. I thought youse should get a heads up.

    That third shot of the mucky kid is brilliant. :)

    I've been there a good few times many moons ago and it was always a great event. Glad to see it's still going strong. (I spent quite a few summers in Innishannon as a kid - lovely place).

    The kids in the mucky overalls were brilliant, no greater joy when you're a kid than being filthy. I really wanted to take more of them but i got given out to recently so i'm very hesitant to do it anymore. Shame.

    Yup. This one replaces it. I was surprised by the huge amount of people at it. Genuinely brilliant day.

    an actual train? I didn't see any tracks. All the engines i saw there drove on land as opposed to tracks There was at least one mini steam engine... about the size of a ride on lawnmower

    And for anyone else thats interested. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innishannon_Steam_and_Vintage_Rally

    Back in the seventies / early eighties there was a steam engine and carriages running on tracks along side the football pitch at Upton for children, was wondering what happened to it?

    Upton was always a great day out, glad to see there is still a steam rally going
