There's loads of hauliers out there John. It comes down to cash, as usual.

I've got mates in Northumberland who could shift that for you if the price was right.

Pic is deceptive; getting smaller. All bars Rob. Second pic is another job,

 

Hardwood is available btw - I've been told.

 

All completely irrelevant as can't get a haulier; will be out of business at this rate.

 

How much Hardwood do you guesstimate?

 

 

I think that bit of stoney walling on the bends at the top of the lane towards the main road is putting some off - as people have ripped out their tyre sidewalls on that.

 

Get up there 5am one morning with a your hi-viz a couple of signs and a mini digger and your life may get a whole lot better. Good luck.

200 ton.

 

Every other damn 8 wheeler and drag rig has got down there no issue. JL is being a big girl; says he shredded his tyres down there when nozzy CF'd the other side.

 

The actual process to achieve road / hedge mods is so beuraucratic and complicated that it would disproportionate to follow through with.

If that was one of the drivers visiting me they would be shifting that wall with the grab.Plus both the yards are a pain to get in must have a different bread down there. Our drivers are regularly down there if you let me know where you are I'll ask the boss he is not cheap but if he tells you it's going to be done it will be done.

I have that thought every other day; a whole lot of bother tho isn't it let alone putting someone on the seat..

 

Unless you can keep it moving and making decent wedge the bureaucracy nowadays is only going to get worse and put off more and more drivers and operators alike.

 

That said, maybe I ought to speak to the bank as there maybe room for another one man band timber haulier around here?

Made some progress over the summer with a couple of trailer loads of split standing dead oak and beech and a couple of tonnes of elm and Hawthorne

There would be a bit more on the pile but I have already sold £1000 worth to one house, less than 200yards from the barn!
