A CONVOY of tractors came out to support young farmers in Teesdale.

About 22 vehicles, both new and old, took part in the Tractor Road Run in support of Barnard Castle Young Farmers Club.

The group set off from the Moorcock Inn in Eggleston, before making their way to St John’s Chapel and Stanhope Burn before reaching their destination at High Force. They made more than £250 with the annual fundraiser which is now in its third year.

"It was a good turnout. The weather was a bit miserable but everyone seemed to enjoy it," said organiser, Andrew Bell, 26, who is in his final year with the club.

"The money will help with running the young farmers but we are always looking for new people to join and get involved. I hope everyone enjoyed it and we are looking forward to next year."
