Start of the Borth to Ynyslas sea defence job cost twelve million pounds,with 80,000 tons of boulders being fetched by ship from Norway,to save 4,000 lorry movements .

The rocks already in place are I think from a quarry,to build a causeway for the barge that will be transferring the boulders from the ship that we be anchored of Aberystwyth.

Hiya Dave it will be a pity if you stop putting pictures on this thread . Its really nice seeing the lorries from my and your area of the country. I know you like the old lorries but there is some new good ones . I know its nearly all scania dafs and mans now . But if you don’t put any more pictures on its your decision and thanks for all the ones you have put on this thread.Take care Tony

Thanks for the messages chaps,have got another 26 older moters today plus half a dozen newer one’s,so still have a few more.
Here’s a Tug we saw at Newquay West Wales a couple of weeks ago,don’t often see one of these on the Cardigan coast,perhaps its there to help the ships bringing the stone from Norway.
Cheers Dave.
