There is something increasingly satisfying about working the oldest profession in the book.

It's really frustrating for us, sitting here on Arran with hundreds of tonnes of well seasoned softwood, ideal for firewood production, but hundreds of miles from a high demand market.

 

 

 

 

Readress your price structure and get em down here..

white diesal come down,we are in recession,haulage firms are struggeling,wanting backloads from up north, i guess its the ferry to the mainland thats the biggest bugbear,,hey thats life..

and

people around here will pay £2.50 a 1/2 filled net of crap vs a full net of beach stored inside for 18mths at £3.50. morrisons selling crap at £3.99.

It's not our price that's the problem really, it's as you say, the cost of the ferry to the mainland : £550 for a 40ft trailer one-way!! At 20 tonne a load that's nearly £30 per tonne freight, before you go anywhere in mainland UK...............

 

Experiencing good trade with locals, but the limit is the island population of 4,500.

There must be some regular delivery vehicles to Arran who could return with a load? Might need some basic packaging. I'm not far from you on the mainland. Perhaps we could work something out?
