Up or down the A1(M): moving a long way from Ripon
From Ripon the A1(M) is a few miles east, so the long part of the trip starts quickly. Newcastle is about 68 miles north and Edinburgh about 188, while London is about 220 miles south and Bristol about 233. A run to Durham or Newcastle is done in a day with time to unload; London or Edinburgh is a long day, and a very long run may be split over two days by arrangement, agreed in the quote.
A long move means fewer second trips, so everything has to fit in one load of the 3.4m van. Photos of each room, or a video walk round the house, settle that before booking. Military families leaving the Clotherholme barracks, and households moving for work, often have a key date at the other end, so give the completion or tenancy time and loading starts early that morning to meet it.
Planning a long distance move from Ripon
- Send photos or a video of every room so the load is judged before booking
- Give the time the keys are released at the new home
- For London or Edinburgh, ask whether the run should be split over two days by arrangement, agreed in the quote
- Keep valuables, documents and medicines with you in the car
- Beds and wardrobes are taken apart in Ripon and rebuilt at the new home
