Fen Lands

I was at it very early today. I had to deliver a 2.5 tonne load to a tractor dealer in Littleport near Ely in Cambridgshire. It was a two and a half hour drive. I was there by 8 am and found this beast in their workshop.



I had the pallet on the rear doors and it was that heavy that when they started to lift it off, the forklift tipped forward and the rear wheels were off the ground .The driver went a whiter shade of pale. He panicked and dropped it back on the truck. Nice and easy he tried again with the big tractor that was taking it off rocking back and forward.
It didn't take long to get the paperwork signed and I was off to the next drop.


It was another 2 and a bit hours away in Halesworth, it had an Ipswich postcode but was nearer to Lowestoft. Lots of nice flat but very winding roads. I passed an Air force base in Mildenhall.that seemed to go on for ever .
I had a drop in a private house, a pack of wood flooring that was put away in the tidiest garage I have ever seen in my life. Everything had its own place it was meticulous .
I felt guilty just slinging his delivery all over the floor. (Joke) I stacked it in the already designated area all ready for when he came home from work.

I took my Tacho break outside the house because I had driven 4h, 27 minutes and planned the route to the next Drop this factory right next to white hart lane in Tottenham.

I opened up the curtains and found that the top pallet had slipped a bit because it was full of rubber car mats and they had shifted.
I had to lift them off and re stack them to get them off.

This was where they were going.



I had another drop around the corner, just one pallet and then home. it was a long day and I had to run a ten hour driving time shift so I needed another break on the way home. I stopped at Toddington and these boys turned and livened things up a bit.
