This weekend is the annual rush-bearing festival here in Sowerby Bridge. So this afternoon I headed down into the valley with the cameras to document the event, which I’ve not been able to attend for the past couple of years. Here’s a small selection of pictures.

The event concludes tomorrow when the rushcart takes a more rural route. You can find all the details form the official website, which is here.

You can find the full selection (in hi-res) in this gallery on my Zenfolio website. Oh, what I should’ve mentioned is I’ve reactivated my old gallery of pictures from the festival that go back to 2010. You can find those by following this link.

I’ve a small favour to ask…
If you enjoy reading this or any of the other blogs I’ve written, please click on an advert or two. You don’t have to buy anything you don’t want to of course – although if you did find something that tickled your fancy that would be fab! – but the revenue from them helps me to cover some of the cost of maintaining this site (which isn’t cheap and comes out of my own pocket). Remember, 99% of the pictures used in my blogs can be purchased as prints from my other website –  https://paulbigland.zenfolio.com/
