Re: Dobbies thornbury , spar HastingsSpar depot in Hastings is AF Blakemore, been there a couple of times, horrible drive, if you are going to via Tonbridge not Maidstone, that road is even worse.

Re: Dobbies thornbury , spar Hastings

Re: Dobbies thornbury , spar HastingsOh No! Dozy will be passing my front door to get to Spar in Hastings (Now Blakemore as said earlier) I live in the same road!
I used to tip the odd pallet there and never had a problem with delivery times, actually did the night before a couple of times so I could night out at home! But if you have a full trailer load that could be another story... Your biggest problem will be getting there, A21 from the M25 is the usual route and that can be chaotic early in the mornings, and right now Hastings is a "Roadworks gone mad" town, especially in the area of The Ridge where you will be going. If you need a night out on the A21 about the only place is the old Blue Boys pub service area at the Southern end of the Pembury bypass. (Has hook-ups for fridges if needed ![]() Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly....
Re: Dobbies thornbury , spar Hastings
Can’t you put me up for night , you only Live 2 mins away , then when I’m having My cooked tea ( need to inform you mrs ) You could tip load for me Then pop upto sydcup & pick up coca- cola Whilst I’m asleep in your bed then I’ve got A easy run home on fri Nb your mrs is safe as I’m 58 and More interested in sleep than that hot & Sweaty stuff
Re: Dobbies thornbury , spar HastingsAlso a bit of a bitch to get onto the bay there, at least in an artic. Place is more setup for smaller trucks, there ain't a lot of space and a massive pillar in the way. Least that's how I found it, but I wasn't very good at reversing a few months ago(still not brilliant now)
