I need to get 2 trucks to an address in Crich, tallest one is running at 13’10’'.

The client has just informed me he is surrounded by low bridges! Having looked at the map I am thinking pretty much the only way in is up the A6, turning right onto the B5035 and coming in from this direction.

Can anyone with local knowledge give me any ideas or alternatives?

You are correct, that is the only way in with a vehicle over 13’ 6"

Yes go down the a6and turn right onto the B5035, I’m only 5 min from Crich.

You can’t miss the turn, you go past a large layby with a tea bar in it, the main road goes round to the left and over a bridge, there is a pub directly in front of you, when you get to the left hand bend, turn right :wink:

There`s a pub with a bloody big for sale sign on it now.

Doea anyone know what the bridge at Ambergate is, might be better going up the M1 TI J28,down the A38/A610.

So is that route via J28 good for running at 13’10’'?

Thank you to all the others for their assistance

It was taken down about 6 months ago

But, you would still have to access Crich via the B5035

Yes turn right at Whatstandwell onto the B5035
