Hi

Messaged a friend who let's a flat she owns.

That should read Kelwood Eng, timed out on me...
http://www.kellwood.co.uk/engineering
http://www.clark-engineering.com. Although mainly forest machine orientated may have something to offer.
http://www.bendalls.co.uk. A firm we use for specialist vessel and welding repairs.

You didn't ask about the biking? Can only presume you know it is good 😉

Some possible competition for local labour; http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/dg-one-leisure-centre-damage-5573637
More likely to be to be contractors from outside the area 🙄

A few more;

Cycle path from town all the way out to new site; http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=609&p=0

If you choose out with Dumfries the Dalbeattie/Castle Douglas area would be good for access, saves the irritation of going through town during "rush hour" am/pm 🙄
