Dozens of vehicles took to the hills of Powys and Shropshire for a popular 4x4 event organised by the Montgomeryshire Agricultural Association.
The annual run, held on Friday, June 5, marked the launch of the association’s 2026 schedule of competitions and saw participants travel around 48 miles across countryside routes before returning to Mellington Hall near Churchstoke.
The day began with tea, coffee and cake at the venue, before drivers set off on a scenic route across farmland and hills, taking in views across the border region. The event concluded with an evening meal back at Mellington Hall.
Organisers said the event was a success and thanked supporters, including Invertek of Welshpool and Wynnstay for sponsoring the upcoming competition schedule.
