Thumbs up England & Scotland Run 16/17th May

Hi All,

Due to several requests, I'm planning an England to Scotland run next weekend (16th/17th). Will be starting in Bristol on the 16th going North on M5 onto M6 onto A74(M) etc. Stopping in Glasgow overnight then possibly down Ayr then Great Yarmouth to Basingstoke to Bristol.

At the moment the route and the run itself is only a provisional and subject to confirmed bookings.

Price £40.00 per delivery address/collection address. IE any one item from point A to B is £40 but if point a had something to go to another address it would be an additional £40. Hope this makes sense.

I'm using an Astravan so at the moment I could perhaps fit a small viv in or two but I'd rather not as they will limit space.

This is a one off to meet several requests, I don't usually do this but seeing as that is now 3 people needing items to/from Scotland to/from South England.

There are currently no provisions for heating as this will be a day trip and although the distance covered is quite substantial it will not be cold in the van at the time. I do not tend to heat reps during transport as it can quite often make the animal active and can stress them in transport. If heating will be required it could be arranged send me a PM and I will see what I can do.

Also, following some recent problems various other couriers have had, once I have finalized the route I will contact you with a time. I can/will budget for a 15 minutes stop at each pick/up delivery. I cannot wait any longer than this as it will interfere with other peoples jobs.

If you feel you may need me at the pick up/delivery point for longer than 15 minutes please let me know in advance.

Any More questions please feel free to ask,

Steve

PS

To the guys I previously PM'd regarding setting up a Scotland run forget the price previously given I can not do it for £40.00 due to other interest.
