got a couple of trips from ayrshire to the midlands planned, no set dates yet - but one near the end of this month and one in late august.

Going down empty for the first one in an astra van (but could take my sprinter if its worthwhile) second trip the astra would be full, so would have half a sprinters worth spare if I took the bigger van instead

it's heavy garden stuff I'm afraid (stones, troughs, big wood) - ie what my gf wants

do you want to drop me an email, I'm looking at one way hire (as it's such a drive), and probably a transit with a tailgate - due to weights - but a man with a van might be an alternative

thanks

[i] and probably a transit with a tailgate[/i]

You mean a tail lift? If you ask for a tailgate they will just think you want a rear door that lifts up like a hatchback so you can shelter from the rain ๐Ÿ™‚
