More than 50 vintage and modern tractors are set to take to the streets of Nidderdale tomorrow.

The first Nidderdale Charity Tractor Road Run will start in Kirkby Malzeard at 10.30am and wind its way towards Middleham before heading back.

Masham, Grewelthorpe and Jerveulx will be among the places passed.

Ryan Atkinson, who is managing director of R&J Yorkshire’s Finest Farmers & Butchers in Kirkby Malzeard, is co-organising the event with Simon Dickinson.

The two men are both members of West Yorkshire Vintage Tractor and Engine Club.

Mr Atkinson said:

“Both of us have a love of vintage tractors. We just wanted to put on an event and raise money for charity.”

About 50 tractors have signed up so far. Entries are welcome on the day for a cost of £15, of which £10 goes to Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

People will gather for breakfast at R&J butchers from 8.30am before departing at 10.30am.

Families are welcome to watch the tractors set off and cheer them on around the route.

Tomorrow’s route

The 40-mile parade on public and private roads will take place over two legs, which are expected to last two hours each, with a stop at Brymor Ice Cream at Jervaulx in between.

R&J Butchers is providing hot dogs and drinks at the finish back in Kirkby Malzeard at about 4pm.
