Now, some of these pics may be duplicated from previous but I’ve used them as I was again at the same place…
So , Monday. Set off across the M62 heading for Scarborough from Mancs/Lancs. Set off a bit earlier than usual to miss the traffic then this happened !!!
Wandered across the slip road for this pic. (No sign of Big Brother)
The problem turned out to be a broken jubilee clip on a ‘turbo hose’. (had the bang half way up Windy Hill).
So half an hour later I’m stuck in the traffic I was trying to miss.
Anyway,stuck with it and arrived in Scarborough a couple of hours later and saw these.
Once tipped it was off to the outskirts of Beverley via Brid.
It can be a bit tight but this place is normally OK.
Now its down into Hull and back on the A63 under the bridge.
Back to the yard and loaded for Tuesday…
Tuesday its across to Yorks again but this time down the M1 to the outskirts of Chesterfield .Got to Jnc 30 (?) in pretty good time and then got stuck in this for just under an hour.
The reason-Pick and Shovel on the bridge.
Tipped straight away and onto Alfreton then into Nottingham where I couldn’t get in the entrance due to it being on a set of lights and too busy.So I parked across the road and handballed it in as they only had a small amount of stuff.
Out of Notts and across to Stoke via Donington. Up the M6 and due to a fender bender I went cross country to avoid Thelwall.
Back to the yard and loaded with scrap for recycling.
Wednesday its out with the scrap to E Lancs and tipped straightaway.
Back to the yard and loaded for a one hitter for Worksop.Straight there after the morning rush with no probs.Just hope the horse doesn’t bang its head !!!
So its off with their stuff and the usual ‘can you just’ move this driver. No probs as it all needs shifting so I can turn around.
Out of Worksop and back towards home. Stop on Services. Notice ‘Old Bill’ talking to this driver. I go in main building, use the loo, go to the shop,get a KFC, go back to my truck, eat KFC, do paperwork and guess what ■■ Old Bill still in the green truck, pulling it to pieces. This is a couple of miles from were the 9 year old girl has dissapeared from. Nice to see the Police have priorities.
On arrival.
On departure.
Back onto the M62 were I was overtaken by this American trailer.
Into our yard and loaded for Thursday.
Thursday,its straight up to Carlisle (were I saw this and wondered what the demand was for his cargo ?)
and then onto Ayr.
Hung around for a bit, giving me enough time to get to Clydebank without having to stop for a break.
Went through the tunnel.
On arrival at Clydebank saw this stuck on a car outside my drop.
Can’t say I blame him as when I was leaving I had a choice. Should I turn left ?
Or should I turn right ?
I think I’ll go right .(The parking here gets worse every week,more and more call centres on Ind Estates=more cars )
Along the bottom road to the M8.
and across to Airdrie.
Tipped at Airdrie and back to the M8 and the bridge for Cowdenbeath.
Got to Cowdenbeath ‘just in time’. That was my last drop. I’ve only got emptys on so I can now enjoy the view.
I’ve still a couple of hours left so I head back across the M8 and head for ‘Red Moss’ near Abington as it was recommended on another post.
On arrival, loads of space (do me) get my paperwork sorted, go in and have good food with nice people,then have a pint while watching the football- PERFECT.
Got up at ??o’clock on Friday morn for the leisurely drive home.
Same again nexy week ■■ PROBABLY…
Oh ,I saw this ,can’t remember when. Not many with this spec ■■
ahh the joys of them yank trailers, they come over into seaforth on the cast ship but sometimes they found themselves on the irish boats. the irish shunters would put the bloody things down in the lower hold knowing what a pain it was to get them out…
