here in the uk ,some people just pop off down the high street to the next job
might get in a spot of bother if it was done now
Hi Graham, I have never done any work round your area that I can think of but I did use to work for a company that came from Basingstoke, Micky Pearce. They folded in the 70's, I think he went over to the UAE and was doing some work over there.
I originaly came from Licolnshire but moved around the UK a lot on different projects. I have been working overseas for the last 20 + years and I am now based in Patagonia, Argentina. I am still travelling, it's a hard habit to break!

In the early nineties,a small company I worked for in mining,used to drive the D8Hs from job to job .
We were out in the West Australian bush & I often drove the 8H beside the (blacktop) road's edge for a couple of mile to get from one mine to the other....often for only a few hours work.
One of our younger blokes drove the 8H for 7 hours to one job,thru the bush.
I often had to drive a 966E about 30 KLM to get to another minesite.
You learn a lot about the machine when driving over vast distances....plus you also get to learn about native animals,trees,pot-holes,bulldust & boredom..!
