Hope Ted doesn't mind me posting this here, but I couldn't think where to put it in the classifieds.

Next weekend I'm doing a house move for my mum from Warwick to Belfast, via Stranraer, and as a result I'll have an all but empty van (extra-LWB sprinter roughly 12m3 interior volume, 4.2m load length) coming back from Belfast to Oxford (down the M6/M40) on Sunday afternoon, so If anybody wants to offer a bit of cash for taking something anywhere along the route (or reasonably near to it) I'm up for it

Elanturbo I think so, It's the Stena Line at 11:45 on sunday 16th. Usually use the HSS at 17:10 but apparently due to a rare low tide they can't load much onto it on that day???

Aprisa Not very likely - especially as I'll hopefully be giving you a ring in a couple of weeks about moving my mini (unless something else goes pear shaped) - just annoys me that I'll have all that empty space one way, seems very inefficient - Having said that, last time I went over there in the car I got bored and went via the peak district - not the shortest route, but bloody good fun in places

Aprisa Irish Roads - my dad always used to say they had potholes you could loose an artic in part of the reason I'm going via Stranraer, other part is it's the shortest crossing and I don't like boats.

elanturbo - yep sounds good It'll be the big white van with 'Caution - Rental' on the bonnet
