Today Jaimin borrowed Thomas & Bridget's trailer again and went to Craiglash Quarry to collect 1.5 tons of scalpings. These are sticky ungraded multi-sized (100mm to powder) off cuts from the quarry which make good sub base for tracks. Given the recent rain and delivery issues (trucks struggling with traction) we thought it a good plan to try and put some rock down.

Although 1.5 tons looks like very little in the trailer, the car was feeling the weight. It took a while to empty out on to the track and only covered about 12m! But, hopefully a few more trips will keep building it up.

After the scalpings were unloaded it was on to the levelling & sand. Some more raking, digging, spreading and confusion ensued. After some deliberation the decision was taken to get some sand in. If the floor is too low (which it is...) we'll just add cement, insulation and/ or screed when the time comes to build it up. No danger! A few barrows later and it was time to make for home, dropping off the trailer and going to the polling station!
