West across the moor or east to the motorways: leaving HD9
Heading west, the van has two crossings: Wessenden Head Road and the A635 over the moor towards Manchester, about 22 miles, or the B6107 to Marsden and the A62 over Standedge towards Oldham. For Liverpool, the North West or Scotland via the M6, the M62 over the Pennines is the steadier road for a loaded van. Heading south, the M1 is reached via Huddersfield or the A635 and A616 past Stocksbridge towards Sheffield.
A long move suits a flat, a small house or a few valuable pieces. Everything is wrapped and strapped, and the load is packed with the long drive in mind, heavy pieces low against the bulkhead and boxes stacked tight so nothing shifts on the climb out of the valley. Send the full address at each end, the access, and any time windows for keys. For the longest trips an overnight stop may be agreed in the quote.
