Cpd Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Yup.... I was working in the highlands above 1000m building mountain tracks, it would sometimes be a glorious day when you arrived at the bottom of the mountain and then you would walk up into pish and spend the rest of the day wet..... when it was to cold / snowy to work high I would go to the west coast and build stone walls all winter in the pishing rain.... this went on for two years ( I worked for 10 doing this sort of thing but this was two years of hell weather) and it nearly broke me. Booked a one way ticket to Australia for £150 and never came back for 10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney12 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I feel your pain. I'm nearly 1500ft above sea level and the August weather thus far has been even more unpredictable and variable than usual whilst trying to lay 170 m2 of patio and related hard landscaping I'm praying for some stable weather so I can get some seeding completed in late Sept early Oct. I bet it will either be too wet or too dry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
