I had a short ride in this one on a training exercise. We also played tug of war with it winching a stretcher. It's windy under one of those.

That was lucky, just got home from a dog walk just before very heavy rain.
Not so lucky yesterday, got caught in a thunderstorm and soaked thoroughly.
At least the water hating Cai got a good wash and his coat feels very soft.

The nearest I have got is digging in a cave. Flat out in a passage you can't kneel in. Hacking at clay and rocks with an entrenching tool and putting the spoil into a tray to be dragged off.
The pub afterwards was used to us, mud spattered.

BTW the tools etc (note the playing card) are meant to represent all the trades and activities forbidden on the Sabbath.

You would probably like the medieval wall paintings in Breage nearby if you haven't seen them before, esp Jesus at the hairdressers.

Like flags on lampposts, plastic wrapped flowers on benches, festering algae covered remains of cuddly teddy bears on graves with plastic flowers - all ends up as litter.
