Summing up the successful tractor run, a spokesman said: "It was a wonderful day. There were a few breakdowns along the way some running repairs required, but these chaps are very resourceful and supportive so most managed to complete the route.
"Lunch of meat and potato pie and peas followed by apple crumble at Slaidburn Village Hall was most welcome after the delays.
"The charity supported this year was North West Blood Bikes and thanks to generosity of the participants and people along the route, over £500 was raised."
