That wheel looks similar to what’s on my rapier trailer (similar to sankey except for rapier missiles). Will get a photo over the weekend.
cheers ..... no idea where it's come from, but does look military quality .... probably arrived from a farm sale somewhere, decades ago ... they'm like magpies, the two old fellas and thought it'd make a good cuminfaThat wheel looks similar to what’s on my rapier trailer (similar to sankey except for rapier missiles).

The Trago down in Cornwall never had planing permission on it, all he did was kept telling them to piss off, (it’s my land and I’ll do what I want with it).in light of yesterday afternoon's weather and the forecast for today, we'd planned a day out to go take a look at this .....

new Trago Mills shop in Merthyr ... it's ****ing HUGE!!
looks like a Disney creation .... God knows how they got planning for it ???
600 metres long in the main 'hall' .... stood at the one end you can't make out the other end clearly - where the floor stops and the roof starts
Been to their other places in Devon and Cornwall years ago and always well priced and stocked with all sorts of interesting stuff .... this one's no different, just on a MASSIVE scale .... picked up a few bits and bobs ... that you'd just not expect to find ... like boxes of M20 nuts, - got a great range of fixings .. huge tool selection .... all sorts of stuff and well priced, as usual.
Nice roast turkey lunch - I love turkey and again very well priced !!
wild old day though .... front sliding doors blew in as I was heading out of 'em ... caused a bit of a panic with the staff !! think they may need a rethink on them .... some screening might be in order outside the entrance or they're gonna be sorting them on a regular basis ..... but if they will build in Merthyr!? ..... LOL

Are they letting you race up and down the beach again when the tide is out? Used to be great fun, but then the council blocked off vehicular access.No worries. Went to pendine sands yesterday. Was quite impressive
yeh tha's a hell of a beach, eh? ..... long time since I've been to Pendine ............ you hear Babs or Bluebird whispering in the wind ?No worries. Went to pendine sands yesterday. Was quite impressive
don't know is the straight answer to that one Gra ..... last time I was there some guy in a sierra (yeh was some time ago), left it too late to come off the beach .... tide was up to the bottom of the slip, this end of the pic ... instead of gently reversing himself into alignment for the bottom of the slip and driving up he took a gert arc out into the water forwards, to align himself and drowned it ...... bye bye sierra ..... was up to the dash by the time some guy with a fergy turned up and dragged it out for him ...... and it wasn't long .... comes in fast thereAre they letting you race up and down the beach again when the tide is out?
