Tight fit

A bit of delicate manoeuvring this morning.
This big tractor was trying to back this trailer down that narrow drive. The family who live down there are doing renovations & often have deliveries.
The driver was very careful & with Harrys help he managed it without knocking down our wall. He was back half an hour later with another which he managed better.
Just churned a bit of tarmac up on the corner.

Three good things:
1. Harry’s hospital appointment went very well…in & out without waiting!
2. All the above drive should be covered with tarmac next week….I hate those horrid tiles.
3. We didn't need to go anywhere near the sea, blowing a gale & raining hard!
Skilled driving.. good Harry was there to guide him.. I am a hopeless backer with trailer one of our GD'S is an expert shows me up..lol..
Good to have a quick hospital 🏥 appointment.

Don’t think I would want to reverse down there! A bit nerve wracking for all concerned!

Great capture

Ooh my! not the easiest of tasks revering down that narrow lane. So good that Harry was there to help in instructing him and to safeguard your wall! It looks as if your day was a wet one too .

Wow well done to Harry and the driver of the truck. A great joint effort. I am hopeless at reversing with a trailer.

I’m impressed!

Glad he didn't knock your wall down Pat!

Oh, how I would hate to have to do that job! I'd be awful! Ha ha. Nice capture of the action.

@phil_howcroft Well it helped that he knew him Phil, his father built a brick wall for us once at the farm.

@julzmaioro @onewing I can back a car well but never learnt how to back a trailer! All I know is you turn the other way somehow! 🤣

@busylady That would have been disaster Judith….we almost put a beech hedge there but thought less work with a wall but it is a bit vulnerable as the toad is narrow & single lane in parts!

Impressive how these drivers can manouvre big trucks in the narrowest of corners. Beautiful capture to remember the event.
October 6th, 2022  
Wow, quite a piece of parking on a sixpence there!
October 6th, 2022  
Nice shot! It seems like an ordinary tractor, but there is a whole story behind it.

A bit of a tight squeeze going on there. Lucky Harry was on hand to help.
