    Not trying to be a smart arse but have you consulted your insurance provider regarding specifications for a up to date passenger trailer?

    A small 4wd bus would be cheaper and easier to operate.

    Yep, there's a visitor farm near here with one, I'll look for a link to their site, covered in and you sit on a bale of straw.

    How do the NPA get away with cramming people into feeding trailers and transporting them around the ploughing site. All standing as well.

    Have seen ifor Willian's based ones used, with a canvas canopy/seats.
    Termed as a 'shoot trailer' though, I hope you don't intend on carrying a bunch of toffs around after the most feral of beasts. The half tame pheasant and partridge.

    Two tractors going flat out in our carpark at tullamore, nearly sure they were pulling feeding trailers

    My understanding is its a mod of an old trailer, the rear ramp still works for wheelchair access..

    Yep.
    Wasn't too bad on me being youngish.
    But my father if he went wouldn't have been able for it.
    Then where you pay was in the middle of that big field beside the show not before the wood where it used to be.
    Something strange happened this year.
    Everyone said it's not till you pay that you're the shows problem.
    I wonder is that field belonged to someone else.?

    Anyway there was something up.

    That must've been a mile....well a kilometre anyway......wasn't great at the end of the day I'd say,
    I didn't bother but we could've stepped on a trailer to go 200 yds and then 100 yds to get in, Think I'd be ignoring the signs if I were you and come from tullamore next year.....tell the stewrds you're going to mass first or something

    That's what I used to do for the last few years and park in the Dublin carpark.
    Only last year a fe*Ker of a guard wouldn't let me back into tullamore on the way home. Was sending me on for the motorway. So I had to turn around down this road and go a few small roads to get back into tullamore and home.

    So I said I'd park in my proper carpark this year and maybe it might be handier getting home. Now i was stuck for an hour this year in traffic. Can't win.

    Might have to bring a duck or a hen or bake a few loaves next year.
