That's one big big hole !!
Shale, Shale and plenty of it 🙂
It's amazing what 2 big diggers and a dumper truck can do
All nice and flat
A late Christmas present for Dawn - A Road !!
The Second Day of the Build

Happy Days, the main digger driver – Mark has found shale about 2 meters down in the area we want to have a lake.

We will use this for the majority of the road. This will be a huge advantage for us as we :-

  • Will use the natural resources of our site
  • Will protect the existing lane to the main road by fewer heavy lorries delivery stone
  • Will not have to pay so much for the stone
  • Will not have to haul the stone from off site - The Quary is miles away

Digging for gold - well shale actually (but it means the same to us)
