County Down Traction Engine Club – Easter Road Run 2023
CDTEC will hold it’s annual Easter tractor road run on Easter Tuesday (11th April) in the Killinchy area. It will start from 72 Killyleagh Road just a mile or two south of Balloo cross roads and will leave sharp at 1.00pm so entrants need to be there well in advance for registration purposes. Registration opens at 11.00am so best to be early.
The tractors will leave the yard turning left on to Killyleagh Road, left into Tullycore road, on to the Ballymorran road, Ringdufferin road, Ringdufferin lane, Ballymorran road (again), then Quarterland road, returning to Ballymorran road yet again before progressing on to Bayview road and then Main Street Killinchy where it turns right heading for Whiterock. It then proceeds along Whiterock Bay, Ballydorn road, Killinakin road, Ardmillin road, Ballymartin road, Craigacaskey road and Comber road before returning to it’s starting point on the Killyleagh road.
The route is also suitable for cars and 4 x 4s but not lorries and the minimum donation is £15 per vehicle and £5 per passenger.
Refreshments will be provided upon return to the yard.
Proceeds from the event will as usual be donated to genuine worthy causes (yet to be decided). |
