Annual Welsh-Irish tractor run comes to Pembrokeshire
The Welsh and Irish Tractor Road Run saw hundreds of tractor owners from both countries travel around the Pembrokeshire countryside on Saturday.
The annual event, which started in 2012, alternates being held in Ireland and Wales, and this year set off from Tangiers Quarry, which is operated by Mason Bros.

The run headed to Newgale seafront via Camrose, before travelling around north Pembrokeshire and back to Tangiers.
Spectators came out in the sunshine to support the event, getting the chance to view vintage machinery as well as newer models.
Hywel Mason, who organises the Welsh side of the event, told the Western Telegraph that a total of 188 tractors took part in this year's run.
'We had a lovely run,' he said.
'We treated them to some nice scenery. Everyone had a nice time and got home safely.'

Mr Mason worked closely with his Irish counterpart Willie Day to ensure the day ran smoothly.
The event raised funds for Withybush Hospital and Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).
Mr Mason added that the quarry was also hosting Dean's Digger Day from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, May 10, which will see a range of vintage and classic construction machinery on display.
There will also be fairground attractions and refreshments, and the event will also be raising funds and awareness for Cardiac Risk in the Young.
