want guts and know what you're doing venturing out onto that sort of terrain

credit to the original 'snappers' messrs Higman & Constance for some fantastic pix from '83 -- and a quote from Mr Higman to add some detail
"In 1983 when Western Excavating (ECC) Ltd put a D9H and Terex TS24 motor scraper into Padstow Harbour to clear out many feet of mud.
It worked that well that Padstow Harbour Commissioners asked them to come back again, but this time with 2 x TS24" :love::love:

That would have been amazing to see, must have had very tight window to work with the tide.
