Vincent Macklin and sons Adam and Matthew invited us to their home town, Monaghan, for an autumn run they collectively describe as Three Counties, Two Countries Model T Run 23rd October 2022.\u00a0 Our meeting point was the Four Seasons Hotel where to the rear, we had use of the very large car park allowing sufficient room for trailers and a line up of Ts.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather forecast was typical autumnal, being showery am and sunshine pm.\u00a0 The Macklins had arranged morning teas and coffees for us all as we foregathered in or around 10:30 am for meet up and chat.\u00a0 A generous helping of rain curtailed the drivers\u2019 briefing as shelter from the sudden downpour was soon to hand thanks to the awning on the recovery vehicle provided by Jack and Irene Minish. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We departed for Caledon, a small village and townland in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is in the Clogher Valley on the banks of the River Blackwater, 10 km from Armagh. It lies in the southeast of Tyrone and near the borders of County Armagh and County Monaghan. The distance is 17 kms, the journey was most pleasant, and the early autumn colouring on the extensive tree lined way was spectacular. On arrival in glorious sunshine we parked up on Church Hill Road. Soon locals and passerby folk were present to look and gaze at the fine array of our cars and commercials. We enjoyed the company of villagers; after half an hour, we bid them farewell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
