That is a fine area of Scotland, Sutherland as! The best in my opinion. 
It is a tricky corner for a normal lorry, never mind a heavy! Iām sure Patrick would like the challenge though .

Hi Johnny, west has the edge for scenery, this an excerpt from the Quest Supertruckers TV prog featuring Metcalfe Farms Heavy Haulage, also nice to see a young man with the right attitude to what the future holds for him, enjoy all of you looking in.

Thanks to kevmac47 and Dirty Dan for the pics
M6 Sept. last, the hard shoulder queue was exiting on slip road south of Kendal. 2nd pic intimidation from this guy for a few miles who used middle and n/s lanes and stretching the posted speed limit to gain advantage. Iād give him the benefit of doubt considering todays demand on drivers to meet deadlines.

LHD Leyland Beaver with roof-mounted air-con, sleeper cab and lift axle! Probably a two-pedal Pneumo-cyclic transmission Beaver, as I seem to remember reading on here somewhere that conventional transmission didnāt fit properly in the LHD version of the Ergo cab. Someoneāll know! Robert

Yes Patrick, the truckstop is still open, it is now accessed from a roundabout at the end of a new motorway link road. Iām not sure if the place in the town is still open as I now only go into the dock entrance near the Vosa Station. Regards Kev.
Yesterday I delivered grapes to the Penfoldās winery in Nuriootpa, South Australia, where this old Bedford is in daily use around the winery (it is a big winery). Iām not sure, but is an āOā type Bedford? Sorry I didnāt get to look at the compliance plate and see what year she was built.
Here is a bit of different kit for this work. And to be fair it wasnt any good eitherā¦
