Out of the bunk at 08:00hrs and over to McDonalds for a Big Breakfast. Then back to the factory to offload the chipboard—five lifts by a nine-tonne forklift and I'm away. Run empty 30 miles to Hexham and load with chipboard from Effer UK. Their factory has a subsidised canteen, so it's chicken curry and chips with a mug of tea for about 2.50—excellent value! Hit the road and head for Sherburn in Elmet, near Wetherby. There I offload at furniture maker Eurospace which is a regular on the chipboard run. Just seven lifts and I'm ready to roll again, empty across the M62 headed for Chester. Load is fertiliser bound for our yard at North Devon. Down to Michaelwood. Bad fain makes for a more tiring run than usual. Spend the night in the services with a chance for a wash and shave.
