Welly Wanging
The Great Dorset Steam Fair is the world’s top steam and vintage preservation event, drawing crowds a quarter of a million strong from across the globe.
We thought it appropriate at this celebration of vintage mechanical ingenuity to stage our own tribute to eccentric engineering – an all-comers Welly Wanging contest!
That's right, for the second of this year's roadshows we invited 16 tinkering teams from around the country to build mechanized contraptions able to throw wellington boots as far and accurately as possible!
Awaiting the champion all-comers team would be a showdown with the mighty Scrapheap All Stars – Scrapheap's very own house team, featuring three of the most colourful characters from the show's past and present.
