I thought with the impending digger weekend looming up that I should get a bit of practise in, as its been a good few years since I used a digger, and then it was mainly tracking around in a 30tonner and not too much digging...
Thankfully my mate Nick who owns a local holiday park has a 5 tonner and access to the beach from his site (this will also be the venue for the SE summer beach bbq on one of the days the sun comes out in the summer!)
Nick kindly lent me his digger for a couple of hours to go play making giant sandcastles to get a bit of practise in so I dont make a nob of myself or bust the digger (which I will have to find the dosh to repair!
Was great fun and have got the hang of it enough that I will be able to muller the woods, so was a great help and should make me a bit more efficient to start with in the digger we are hiring...
Big thanks to Nick...top fella
Made a bit of a mess of the beach though....it got much much worse before I levelled and graded it all...
Got some funny looks of the locals...I think they thought I was looking for something...
