I am posting just a few of the photos I took for once I did not take as many as usual but it was exceptionally hot down in the quarry so wondering around was very tiring, nonetheless 100% better than if it was peeing down of rain.
I was glad to meet up with Nick Drew there and also see Paul Argent they are both well

Naturally as a great fan of JCB I was happy to see the new 'X' series in operation; I know from speaking to Julian Carder that JCB have gone to great lengths to get this machine right and overcome some of the issues associated with older generation JCB 360 machines, Nick Drew has had a play in one and liked it very much, please forgive me if I am blowing the JCB trumpet here I know that there are many great machines out there but from the point of view of British manufacturing I treasure JCB as they are one of the last great British companies left that have not be sold off, taken over or gone to the wall so long may they reign.

The only thing I was disappointed to see was that battery power is now making its way into the construction machinery market
