jobsite pics in UK

Hi Nicky, the M74 photos bring back happy days, there was 5 D8s on boxs if I remember, must see if I can find some photos from there, good luck, Noel.

I'm not sure what it means, but "muckshifting" is a great word, I'm going to start using it!

Hi NL,
Great pictures, that sure could pass for California landscape😄 😄

Hi Lads.
Muckshifting translates into 'dirtmoving' I think.
Cylde Valley in Scotland is a bit colder than California:
Hi Noel,How is Ross?I got that D8 done up eventually if he still fancies a go of it

I have to agree it looks a lot like Northern California, even the soil looks like the clay found along the coast range. My great-grandfather came from Scotland I guess this area reminded him of where he grew up.


Carefull what you say about California weather, you can drive a 1/2 hour and the climate can change drasticaly, there is more to this big state than the few So Cal beaches seen on TV. In fact I have never been to a CA beach where I didn't have to wear a sweater, where a few hours drive inland on the same day it was over 100 degrees F.

Right now I am in Tahoe City, CA where the temp is currently -9 deg C, The high yesterday was 5 and the low was -16 degrees C

I can drive 1 1/2 hours into Sacramento where the temps are 0 - 12 deg C

Nothing personal, but I was wondering how cold it was in the UK and I looked up Cheshire, England and West Cheshire College weather station (hopefully this is near you?) calls for a High of 12.3 C and a low of 10.6 C... but the humidity is higher in the UK with 71% and in CA it is only 55% which makes a big difference on how cold it feels. Historically the winters in Northern CA the humidity can be 85% - 100% with thick fog, the last few years the weather has changed and we do not get the high humidity and tule fog.
