I know the farm well. I used to work there. Lovely family. Great times. Thank you for sharing

[@markpritchard]

I must admit the first time I went there I did wonder if I'm going the write way. Apparently a few drivers have hit the structure with the rear overhang driving on and off that bay.

Hats off driver. I get in some tight spaces in my 6 wheel rigid delivering Biomass wood fuel. I do have my class 1 but imagine it's an whole different ball game when you have 50ft which bends and brings a completely different dimension to the word tight.

[@markpritchard]

Thanks buddy, I still go to this farm every now and then. I still haven't managed to see the motor musium just down the road.

[@jch2211]

@@markpritchard Think I would rather tackle the farm rather than your visit to Smithfield market 👍

[@markpritchard]

@@jch2211 I've been stuck there the last few months now, Getting cheesed of with it as nobody will do it, so i keep getting it. I would much rather be on a farm.

that lane down to tight farm. is that a through road Mark.

[@markpritchard]

No its a dead end. There is a parking area for the vans just past where I turn around and that's it.

Know the farm well Mark. Come for a holiday, not only Haynes motor museum, but also Fleet Air Arm museum about 5 miles back where you can go in the first Concorde and obviously loads of military aircraft. There's also loads of historic buildings, specialist museums and just opposite where you turned off the 303 is a good contender for Camelot (if it did exist) Cadbury Castle. And Clarks village nearby so our lovely ladies can spend all our money! 😂

[@markpritchard]

You know what, I do like your part of the world, I've been on-board the Concorde at Manchester airport and would love to see the 1st one. I think maybe a nice week down there on my Triumph Motorbike may well be in order.

Nice driving mate, not had a tight delivery like that in a while

[@markpritchard]

+Daryl Parker Thank you. .Unfortunately I've filmed most the tight places I go to now so am having to think of new I dears. I tried filming the tight places I have to revers into but I used a head cam for that so you could see where I'm looking. Sadly I move my head around to fast and all I ended up with was a blurry mess.

[@bwghall1]

Ideas! Mark. typing error.

[@frankbing1]

Love watching you videos, your gonna have to start setting your camera up on a wall or something so we can see the reversing.

[@markpritchard]

I did try a head cam but it didn't work, I move my head around way to quickly so all I had was a blur at best so I gave up on that I dear. Am going to treat myself to an action camera soon and I was thinking of making a magnetic camera mount that I could very quickly just attach to the outside of the cab or the trailer. I do want to make a reversing video of all the tight reverses I do. Thanks again for watching, Mark.

All this hastle for £8 ph no thanks

[@markpritchard]

To be fair with all the bonuses its more like £13 ph for me anyway. Day drivers will get a bit less as they won't get the nights out money but I can't say how much they get. I know you can get better money in other places but it also means a lot more traveling. For me I'd rather have my base near to home and it is a very good wage for my area. Also worth bearing in mind I know of other firms who pay a better hourly wage but there's always a snag like you don't get paid while your waiting to be tipped or something daft and the end wage is prity much what I'm earning. Many drivers have left for better money only to come back six months later as the job wasn't as it was promised.
