Interesting video of Honister Slate Mine, with Mark trying to pull a JCB up a tip.. 😉

Kein geneis kanaf - Cain gnais canaf
Byt vndyd mwyhaf - byth onddyth moyav
Lliaws a bwyllaf - Líows o boylav
Ac a bryderaf - ac o boryddarav
Kyfarchaf y veird byt - covarcav yr vairth
Pryt nam dyweid - poryth na'm dowaith
Py gynheil y byt - Pa gonail y byth
Na syrch yn eissywyt - na soroc yn eishoyth
Neur byt bei syrchei - nour byth bai sorochai

Slanderous 😉 I would never have needed to go back on a 2nd day!

Quite why he is dragging that up the side of a slate tip is not apparent. Seeing as he has a Moxy on a roadway at the top one presumes there was another way around?
Failing that a 14tonne(ish?) 360 is perfectly capable of building its own road up there in a reasonably short time.

On the other hand, if he did it for giggles then fair play to him :lol:

I thought that.. I'd seen that digger before in the past on an old section of incline above the "Monkey shelf tramway".. and it would probably have been simpler to just drive it back along the monkey shelt... though there is a dogey bridge somewhere along there...
But it made interesting viewing all the same.
