I,ve got at least one load to deliver to Bradford this week so I might come off the M65 and over Copy Pit. What do you need?

Well that was hard work but the pictures are done. On one side of the bridge are two blocks of flats making it difficult to get up close and on the other of course is a bloody big hill with a very steep and very narrow road up it. Getting three and a half tons of Transit up there, blocking the road to take the pics, starting again on t' hill and getting back down agian was fun. But the view was nice. I could have gone down the towpath to get some more pics but I was getting a bit pushed for time. Anyways with PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send them on to you.
COOL
