hi stuart,I've been away for a while.have you jacked finnings? I see you are in kirkconnal with some komatsu kit.Have you come accross geoff webster yet?.I worked at a couple of sites at kk.Rigg farm(wimpey),libry moor(crouch) and there was a small site at sanquar (crawick) run by Coleston mining.It was mainly scraper work during stripping or reinstating.I stayed in digs at Kellehome and tried a pint in Macs T bar in kirkkonnal high street(only once!!).It wasn't really the place for english men.
good luck there.New Cumnock was abit more friendly.

Hi Nicky,

Been left finning 15 month or so now, been up here in Sconnie Botland for the last 10 month, the cottage i stay in is opposite the enterance to Rigg farm, and Libry moor is/was behind it. There are plans to re-open the Rigg on the opposite side of the road.
I've known Jeff for a while, (he use to come to Bleak house to service the H185).
Queensbury's isnt bad in Kirkconnel but Cumnock is still about the best for a snifter...

Hows things your end? Glad to see your back.

Not bad at this end thanks.Saw big Geoff yesterday morning whilst I walked up to work,he was telling me he'd had to sort Celtics new face shovel out.it went to work on friday to commission it but one track wouldn't adjust up.someone had forgotton to attatch the hoses and switch the valvecock on!
I remember one christmas up near where you are I was on hire at Piper Hill near Auckinlech with four of the D8's on to Law Mining working 6am to 10pm.The site forman (Mick Murpy) let us go early on christmas eve.We finished at 7 pm and we were back at 6am on the 27th.......
