On the Sunday one of the biggest convoys of wartime vehicles makes its away around Saddleworth passing through
the villages of Uppermill, Delph, Standedge, Diggle, Dobcross and back to Uppermill.
If the weather is good the event brings the crowds and their cameras out who line the route through the all villages.
