Bedfords haulin the Hume

August 27 was the date for what was perhaps the biggest truck-based road run ever seen in Australia to date. More than 140 vehicles ran the old portions of the Hume highway from just outside Sydney, over 'Razorback', through the 'hole in the wall' and on to Yass.

The superlatives have all been used by everyone who was there and those who have seen the photos online so I won't go on about it too much. However, every superlative used doesn't come close to the camaraderie and good times that were had.

The next run is scheduled for 2013 and interest in attending has already been received by the organisers. My one disappointment was that there were no big British trucks - the Leylands, AECs etc - on the run. That will change for the next one. This year, however, the Bedfords carried the flag!
