Many thanks to Walters transport and Celtic energy :thumbup: :bow:

Worked out that the distance covered from junction to 32 to site is 53 miles on the route we took,33% slower than a car would take.Shows you how well Graham and the gang did.Very impressive :thumbup:

Martyn, did you work out a % deal with Graham on the cut you get from the Beano when the bit of script gets printed, Graham needs a bit of "Compo" for all the people that give him the 2 fingers for making their jorney 33% slower??? Years ago I was behind some old Ethal in a Moggy that stopped to wave out a Pickfords Monster set of kit that was hauling the biggest chunk in the World??? at about 1 mile a day speed, even the truck driver could not understand it.
