On the weekend of 31st July and 1st August 2010 members of the Traction Owners Club have decided to hold their annual rally in the North East of England to view the many delights that we have to offer and show off their cars by visiting many interesting places and displaying these old cars to those who haven’t seen them before.

The Rally will be based at the Riverdale Hall hotel in Bellingham.The cars will meet on Friday 31st July during the afternoon and evening at the Riverdale Hall hotel and can be viewed arriving from all parts of the country and from abroad.

The Rally starts on the Saturday morning with a tour along the military road starting at Vindolanda. Thereafter the cars will make their way along the Roman Wall stopping at the numerous sites to visit. At about lunchtime the cars will congregate and travel in convoy for a lunch stop and to join the Continental Matket taking place in Hexham. The cars will be on display and free to view at the park alongside Beaumont Street. In mid afternoon the cars will head towards Kielder forest and Reservoir before returning to the Riverdale Hall Hotel.

On the Sunday the cars make their way across from Bellingham through Rothbury arriving at Alnwick Castle at about 12.30/1.00 and will be static in the Castle grounds for viewing until 4.00. No charge for viewing but normal entrance fees are payable for going into the Castle by the public.
