TCD was a font of knowledge on such matters. 

Was thinking about him the other day in the context of the crap winter and what a previous such winter did to him.  Is he OK as far as you know?  I met him once very briefly in the car park of Exeter Services ?

TCD is fine just struggling with the weather like the rest of us

Good to hear.  Thanks. ?

I'd guess that TCD is currently doing  an in depth study of mud. ?

I think railways are allowed red diesel and this will probably include infrastructure works.

Between us, we're compiling a comprehensive report of different types of mud in the West Country. Is a Cornish muddy shitpit (to coin TCD) different from a Somerset muddy shitpit? And how does a Devon muddy shitpit compare? We'll be sure to link a to the (no doubt, fascinating) report when it's finished, which will be in about mid August when the bloody region finally dries out! ?

I miss TCD's input on here, he certainly didn't suffer fools gladly and had some strong views but offered a good insight into forestry, also greatly appreciate @Big J and the @the village idiot for their informed knowledge. And pictures, pictures are great on forums ?

A red Devon muddy shitpit on a loose shaley base is one of the slipperiest surfaces known to man kind. As someone who got a Land Rover so stuck in the bottom of a valley I seriously considered leaving it there for 6 months until it dried out I speak from experience.
