They left most of the engineering kit in the pits I was told, too expensive to get it out for scrap!

25 years ago I was trying to get to grips with new fangled common knowledge crane controls on a forwarder working a clear fell for open cast working of old mines. My mentor said he watched as the top layers of soil were carefully removed and as they got to old galleries the surface opened up like a zip to reveal trains of old coal wagons still sitting on tracks.

Happy Monday folks, crazy rain through the night with blue skys here now, could have done with the heating on this morning.  Back to the pink castle today for 2 weeks of more storm damage tidying up.

Got a grinding job next two days, 7 big Douglas stumps, lots to take away.

 

Got lucky and found four new Rayco super teeth yesterday (the straight ones that take the brunt of the punishment)

 

At least it’s dry for the foreseeable.

I noticed that on the straight ones too. Not sure if you are aware but qrms do the rayco super copies at 5.00 each 👍

Morning all,

 

Wet again today but next two days look good. Got to drop a dying chestnut into a gulley on a field then winch it all out into the field - which has only just become dry enough for such activity.

 

Gave in and put the heating on yesterday. F ---ing June it's called.
