    Ah

    No they're not upgrading part of their network or charging for leafleting etc. They are saying they cannot put the transformer on a T off pole (a pole that takes cables at 90 degrees to the main cables) and have priced to put a new pole 2m away. I have seen a transformer on a T off pole in exactly the same way as we need, with less ground clearance. I dont understand it.

    And you need 9kw of power just for the pasturising 😯

    To be fair you are not using some low power items there are you so you do need proper supplies it is not as if you can tap off you local supply and run a TT supply across

    Try having a chat with a local industrial instalation contractor ( not a one man band) and see what they can come up with. tbh at times folk can give oppinions here and the technical knowledge can be a bit er limited to say the least.

    just a thought I get raw goats milk from my local farm so would not selling raw goats milk save you alot of hassle then you could use smaller supplies and get them locally from othere buildings and a cheaper instalation at the end of the day.

    I went tubeless via the Stans route with my 719 fims and Schwable Nobbby Nick tyres

    First ride out and I had a 1" gash to the sidewall the sealant did slow the air comming out, so I did not suffer a blow out, but back to a tube to get me home

    In addition to my post my place in France is near Nontron which is not far from Riberac there in 2 weeks time Yah 😀 .

    We have done the run from Plymouth / Roscoff, Poole /Cherbourg and the one we hate Dover /Calais

    We avoid the Calais run like the plague because it is not a nice drive across france and you go via Paris and there is nothing between them in terms of milage

    Do it, I do a run from Roscoff to near Angoleme of 400 miles ( Bordeaux is 415 miles from Roscoff) in a day piece of piss in my Picasso which is fully loaded and riding on the bumpstops at the back end alot of the time.

    Do it in 2 days if 8 hrs driving is a issue but the roads in France are nothing like over here because they are superb
