Members of Wroxham Bure Valley Rotary Club set off from Wroxham to Aylsham in a 1961 tractor to help raise money for the Wheelie Good Idea initiative.
The aim is that in the Olympic year each rotary club receives a torch and passes it on to the next using a variety of transport to raise money for the charity Wheelpower, which provides sports wheelchairs and other equipment to disabled athletes.
Simon Gorton, owner and partner Sloley Hall, near Worstead, is a member of the rotary club and helped to drive the tractor on Thursday, August 23.
He estimated that they had raised around £100.
He said: “It was a lovely day. It was nice to have friendly waves from people as we drove to Aylsham.”
