The 1770 was a beast and there were no spare hands to photograph the lifting. We had to walk it some 50 feet to where the van was and the path was far from even. The hardest part was shifting it from the pallets onto the pallet in the back of the van as we couldn't stand up. After this one I am sure a third pumpkin move would have been too much.
This van is much bigger so clearance on the sides was not as issue. It took 3hrs to get to London. Had no idea how we were going to move it off the van as they had even less equipment as the forks would not be ready until the next day. Turned out they had a flatbed trolley exactly the same height as the van floor. So.... tied an old seatbelt around the pallet and it just took four of us to simply drag it onto the trolley. Job done. Had a sneek peek in the venue and there was one other of the 5 pumpkin in the competition already there.
