The goodwill board transport

[danny1]

Building on the love in the indirect board swap. I travel the UK a fair bit by car and have transported people's/strangers boards before. Its not a courier service and you dont get convenience. but what you do get is safe & free transport and a board dropped off somewhere conveneient for the driver. Ill post up my journeys in this thread and others do the same. Dont take the piss - this has to be as convenient as possible for the driver.

In the thread post a journey or request a transfer.

[danny1]

Journey; NCL- North LDN. A1/M1. Out; 7th May Rtn: 8th May. can pick up and drop off anywhere on route. No longboards sorry.

[danny1]

Transfer requested: need a 5'8 taking from Aberdeen down to NCL. Anyone from aberdeen doing any of that journey soon? It could be dropped off in edinburgh if not down to NCL.

How soon Danny? Thinking of a trip to Northumberland probably end of the month or maybe early next. Will take van so got roofrack. Not definite though, grab an alternative if one comes up. I was chatting to a guy from Teesside in the water last night who said he is up here working quite regularly. If I see him again I will try and get his name in case you know him?

[tamsk1]

brilliant idea. i'll definately post when i move around. anyone going newquay -south wales

[wannabesurfer2003]

Nice idea Danny, I start work in the Portsmouth area from May 1st and will be travelling down to Plymouth Area most weekends (leaving Thursday evening / friday mornings), have a van so anything upto about 9'6" will fit inside. If you get the board to me or meet me along the route (M27 / A31 / A35 / A30 / A38)I I am happy to get it to Plymouth for drop or collection, PM me on here if I can help you out, Joe

hey Chris i'm in no rush. I need two boards taking back to Aberdeen as well! next month is cool

[peteuk]

hi, thats a great idea Danny, something to add , if anyone wants to leave a board here in cornwall for someone else to pick up at a later date sometime that might be a help as well ,
say someone sells a board in wales and is coming to newquay ,brings board with them and then the buyer who say lives in brighton is coming to coenwall a month later picks up board, you get the idea, pete

No worries. If it happens I'll give you a shout.

ig theres swell ill show you arond...youll be visiting gav too?

[Chris F]

Not totally sure what the plan is. Meant be getting together with some English friends and family, and it's a good central meeting spot, but trying to organise these things feels a bit like herding cats sometimes!

Probably surf if there's waves, climb if there's not. Be good to meet up if there's waves, said I would get in touch with gav next time I'm down, either for waves or climbing, so if you aren't about I could leave stuff with him.

[philo]

reply on the other side as well chris if this happens. Meant to get up your way too actually

[danny1]

Another couple of my journeys where I can pick up and drop off.

NCl- Perth RTN 10th May. A1/ring road/A9

NCL- Loughborough - Keele Uni RTN 16th May A1/M1

[danny1]

NCL - LDN rtn 1st, 8th and 29th May east coast main line. Can transport ncl, york, durham to Kings cross and back only. Im not humping boards thru london. sub 7ft boards only

[MJE]

Roughly Monday May 7th Newcastle to either W Cornwall or W Ireland depending on forecast return roughly Sat 19th. In a van so can possibly take a log. Will update nearer time when I know what I'm doing.

[Philshoz]

Early days here folks..............

Newcastle-upon-Tyne to anybody I can find coming over to France (Brittany) Or down to SW UK where some kind soul might be coming over shortly.

A long shot, I know but here's hoping.

Thanks guys.

Phil.

Brighton to Bantham this Thurs/Fri, coming back Tues.

[el_timmo]

portsmouth to widemouth this friday returning on sunday night/monday morning

[baj]

driving the bus for the 6 peaks in July, for a donation I can carry a board anywhere between ....

S Wales
Liverpool
Heysham (Lancashire)
Snowdon (N Wales)
Scafell Pike (Cumbria)
Ben Nevis (Scotland)
Slieve Donard (N Ireland)
Corran Tuathail (Kilarney, Ireland)
then ferry to Holyhead (N Wales) and back to sunny S Wales via Crewe + Birmingham..

You would need to meet me enroute though as we're on a timer and i'll have 5 tired grumpy walkers in the back! for the same reason a log might not be feasible unless we have a roofrack which i will confirm nearer the time..

anyone know any spots close-ish to Kilarney? never surfed Ireland... no 20ft+ reefs thanks!! a nice shoulder to headhigh point would be dandy coz i'll be f00ked by the time we get there!

[annah]

Newcastle area to Caithness at the w/e (leave Sat 02, arrive Thurso Sun 03), I could put up to two boards on the roof.
Return journey leaving Caithness Friday 08, back in the NE Saturday. Both journeys I can go either up the A1 to Edinburgh or the A68.

Cheers

[Bearded Gimp]

baj, think that's zboy's stomping ground. Plenty of nice waves in and around the Dingle peninsula

[flacky]

Baj, drop us a line when ur near Liverpool. If I'm free I'll say hola and put the kettle on.

May I use this opportunity to repeat my wishes to swap my hunt for a pintail????

[surfercol]

hi, could you take a board from edinburgh to aberdeen?
thanks colin

[danny1]

im going to aberdeen on the train on the 29th from york and back again. can pick up at stations on route. let me know if interested.

[Poo Stance]

80% sure I'm driving down to somewhere in Cornwall tomorrow AM. Prob a bit late to get something down there from this end (S London) but if anyone needs something brought back up from there. PM me yo. Leaving Wednesday prob.

[Rattz]

Regularly drive from Pembs to Cardiff - weekly. Have van so longboards an option.

Am off to Cornwall on the 8th August for a long weekend. Pembs to Newquay and back. PM me if you anything.

[reserves]

Brighton to Croyde area, as often as possible, going a few times over the next month

[flacky]

Anyone travelling from Cornwall to the north? Want a board that's in Launceston. I'm in Warrington, Cheshire. M6 would be a good meet I guess.

[Rattz]

Anyone going from South Wales to Helston in Cornwall or that sort of area. Will pay up to £20 fuel if they can pick up a board.

[Poo Stance]

Not 100% confirmed yet but more than likely heading to N. Cornwall for Wed/Thursdays's Kirk swell. Leaving from S London very close to M25/A3 junction.

let me know if you need a board going either way.

Or if you wanna share fuel and some waves come along
