A convoy of more than 40 historic trucks covered 100 miles across five counties to raise funds for the Lingen Davies Cancer Fund. The annual event was organised by the Border Counties Historic Commercial Vehicle Club, with the route beginning in Radnorshire and passing through Herefordshire, Breconshire, Montgomeryshire and Shropshire before ending near Shrewsbury.
The trucks assembled at Bensons Yard in Knighton, where participants were shown specialised RNLI tractors and trailers made by Clayton Engineering. The convoy included delivery trucks, stock wagons and arctic tractor units, which journeyed through various towns and villages including Presteigne, Kington, Builth Wells, Newtown and Welshpool.
The event concluded at T J Parry's yard, where the drivers were treated to dinner and fundraising for the cancer charity continued. Lingen Davies Cancer Support, which was launched in 1979, provides cancer services to patients in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid-Wales. The charity reports that more than 100,000 people have had their cancer treatment and care improved through its work.
