Big boys toys at the quarry where I often work. You can see the amazing quarry on yesterdays blip right here

These are the largest dumper trucks in the world. They weight just under a hundred tonnes and carry another hundred tonnes. So at 200 tonnes for a fully laiden one I keep well out of the way. They are 5 times larger than the largest juggernaut allowed on our roads. It is very difficult to capture the scale of this place for you so use your imagination a little. I took this while waiting for it to pass our landrover, we are not allowed on the same road as it is difficult to see the small landrover from the cab and they may run it over by mistake....no joke it did happen!! For scale a person standing beside this truck would be only half way up the wheel at most

I could have blipped lots of different sights for you over the last two days from the Red deer on the hill to the sunset over the castle. Moths, butterflies and scenery from this remote place. I hope you like what I have chosen as I have tried to give you a picture in your mind of what this place is like as very few ever get to see it.
