Calling themselves ‘The Irish Rovers,’ four Co Cork vintage enthusiasts will soon embark on a “once in a lifetime” tractor run.

The four men plan to take on the challenge of driving their vintage tractors from John o’Groats in Scotland to Land’s End in the southwest of England as a fundraiser for CRITICAL, the emergency medical response charity.
