So doing some digging, on the rd we are on there is a load of camper vans and two caravans set up as it’s a dead end and in national park they’ve set them selves up. Seen this on local Facebook group

They are busy finishing the dual carridgeway..when we came it was maybe 50% dual carridgeway from Brest to Rennes, with some flyovers already in place but with no roads under them ...anyhow soon to be almost all dual.

And this thing is doing the rounds, planes the road - mixes it with cement and water and re lays it 🤷‍♂️

Sketchy job continues, I say sketchy we’re doing everything practical we can to get it done safely. I guess it could be a £250k job with cranes and new road in and boom lifts etc but reality getting it done safely but it’s a bum twitcher, keep making myself a bund to sit on with no available fill. Every stone and bucket of concrete that goes in feel a little better. Some dodgy rd football shape stones in the back stacked 3 high holding up 25ft of banking and a road above!

Passing every stone to the masons one at a time

Pics don’t do it justice but I’m sat on bund and can just reach ground where dumper tips and have a little bit of reach above current level but not much so about 5.5m to 6m think I’ve about 3m reach with grab on 3 ton

Dmax finally back from bodyshop so could get this little job ticked off. Fassi hasn't been out of the shed for a while. The valve for the main boom is suddenly sticky when dropping boom. Ive lubed all linkages but feels like its the valve itself. Will disconnected the dual control next week to prove. I'd love to see an hour meter on this. Pump only runs when operating controls so although 18 years old I doubt its done 100 hours of actual operating.
