A wee bit of help please

[cookiemonster]

I need to ask if anyone on the forum can help me with this.

I moved to Hounslow recently but was unable to bring the bike with me so, it's in storage in a basement at my old place in East Ham.

If anyone can spare a few hours at some point, and has a car, can they help me get my bike back, as well as 2 small boxes.

I will, of course, chuck in money for fuel and cake/tea/bacon butties will be supplied.

I keep getting asked to pay well over £100 for a van and driver and I just cannot afford that so I hope someone here can help me get my bike back.

Thanks all.

I am sure someone will be along. Wrong end of the country for me.

I hope so. Gave up trying to hire a van and man, the last quote was £165!!!

How far is it to ride it back... and have you any holiday to take... [always thinking....]

 

[cookiemonster]

Cannot ride with the bike and boxes, practicality and sheer distance. Need to get the whole lot in one go.

Cookie, it's only 24 miles or so...... buy a bike trailer and do a few trips?

 

[cookiemonster]

No, not practical again.

I have thought of these things already

Sorry... I'll stop. Do you know a builder with a transit?

Here's a list of a few in East Ham... http://www.accessplace.com/builder/london/east-ham.htm
You could telephone some of them and ask if they have any jobs in Hounslow area and could they pick up and drop off for a favour, paid in beer and/or diesel money...
