Hi Kiowan,
I’m always at CO-OP Halesowen, not a bad place to get to, but a proper pig getting on the bays! :confused:

Jesus that looks a bit tight!! Not for the faint hearted! :laughing:

Its not that tite, its just bloody awkward! You have to blind it in and at the same time watch your front end on the metal fence that just in front of the bays! :open_mouth:

Not teaching anyone to â– â– â– â–  eggs or showing off, but looking at that last picture, it is not so difficult, especially with the yellow hatching. If you can keep your trailer wheels on the n/s yellow line. You can forget about the drivers side until you can straighten up.

I know you will say , yes, but you have been driving for a hundred years, well just watch what the shunters do, and more importantly what they are looking at when they do it.

Everybody can â– â– â– â–  up. I do it myself. But just remember there is enough room between the lines, so apart from a slight tailswing, you can concentrate on the fence and the n/s trailer wheel

Cheers for the advice Wheel nut, i seem to â– â– â– â–  up this place (and every other) every time i go there. :confused: Us new drivers need all the advice and help we can get! :blush:
Cheers mate! :wink:
Regards Smokinbarrels

Yeah in all fairness if you’ve only just started, blindsiding isn’t easy, even with those nice curved yellow lines to follow. Never been to coop in Halesowen, though I know where it is, I work for Innovate so do the Morrisons and Tescos rdc’s etc…
